How is an ozone steam sauna different from a traditional steam room?
In our ozone steam saunas your head stays outside the cabinet, so you breathe room air while steam surrounds the body. A traditional steam room encloses you completely, is plumbed and tiled into a building, and is shared. Our saunas need no plumbing and move on four castors.
The head-outside design is the structural difference and it drives everything else. We designed the range as an alternative to a steam room, without the usual struggle to breathe in a closed steam room. It is also what makes ozone possible at all: you cannot infuse ozone into a room you are breathing in.
Other practical differences:
- Installation. A steam room is a building project with plumbing, waterproofing and tiling. Our saunas need no plumbing; water goes into a bottle at the back of the unit. The Standard is 1180 × 680 × 1200 mm and 80 kg, on four lockable castors.
- Control. Fully integrated hardware and software regulate the steam temperature for precise heat control. A steam room is typically one setting for everyone in it.
- Hygiene. Every model has disinfection options, always run with no one inside the sauna, and the Red Light has an automatic ozone disinfection cycle, started with one tap on the screen and run with no one inside the sauna, between sessions or whenever time allows; ozone is a recognised disinfectant. Alongside it, the routine you can rely on is the manual one — wipe the sauna down after every use and clean it properly with soap and warm water weekly. Cleaning a shared steam room is a larger job either way.
- Occupancy. A steam room holds several people and works as a social space. Our sauna is single-occupancy, one client per session, which for a spa is part of planning throughput.
On the heat side, wet heat and dry heat behave differently: condensation on the skin transfers heat much faster than hot air. That applies to both a steam room and a steam sauna; the difference is what else you can add to the environment.
