One of the most popular home improvement projects any homeowner can undertake is a master bath remodel. When a new home is built generally the master bath comes with a large tub or walk-in shower already installed, along with beautiful countertops that in many cases will match the finish of the bathtub, or maybe the tile on the bathroom floor or backsplash. For a truly unique addition to your already spacious, decked and decorated master bath you might consider a brand new custom sauna room.
When considering embarking on a new bathroom remodeling project it is a must to first take a moment and honestly evaluate whether you have the resources and ability to complete the project on your own. You may find, otherwise, that you have gone through all the myriad of options for a do it yourselfer and committed to a project that may not be properly complete able without paying a contractor for rework. There are a good many books to help you through with home improvements and do quite a good job at guiding the average layman through the pitfalls but not everyone is quite as good at home remodeling as they are in other successful aspects of their life.
That being as it is, here are a few options available when it comes to the addition of a sauna room as a bathroom remodeling project:
Well designed and pre-built saunas are generally constructed using either planks of cedar, aspen or a heat treated aspen wood. Depending on the sort of pre-built sauna kit that you purchase, your sauna can usually accommodate one or two people, and have a large and expansive glass enclosure. In addition, there are some kits that are a combination sauna/shower unit. In the case of the sauna/shower unit, the bench that is part of this unit simply folds up giving you the option to use the spacious unit as a shower.
There is also the steam shower option. Steam showers are one of many nice alternatives for a bathroom remodeling project, but as with anything there are conditions that you, the homeowner will have to contend with. One part of the process is to purchase the actual steam generator and the construction of an enclosure that will be capable of withstanding the amount of steam generated is another. This means that the you will have to get a contractor with the knowledge and skill to build a thoroughly steam proof shower stall.
Next you lead into the installation of the steam generator unit. In the end this may or may not be less than the actual installation of a sauna kit, so as with any remodeling project you have to do some price comparisons and decide what your budget can and cannot afford.
When your sauna installation project is completed you will be able to come home to the privacy of your very own sauna and just relax and unwind in the encompassing warmth. Let the sauna sap away your tension and the stress of the day leaving you relaxed and invigorated.
