The Amerec custom-cut infrared and traditional sauna room is the ultimate combination to enjoy all the possible health benefits that saunas can provide.  The infrared panels provide soothing heat waves that penetrate deep into the tissue, relaxing tight and sore muscles; this is a great pre and post-workout ritual that will instantly help both with muscle recovery and to get you ready for the next exercise routine.  Infrared heat is also great if you just want to relax and unwind from a very stressful workday.  The difference between Amerec infrared and others of the sort are the carbonflex technology, which quite literally wraps you evenly in gentle heat as well as the exclusive to Amerec pureinfra technology, which completely eliminates radiation while still maintaining the positive effects of infrared sauna.  The traditional heater is the Designer Trend, packed with 30 lbs of volcanic rock that transfer the heat to the whole room, reaching temperatures of up to 195 F°, for the times you are ready to sweat and release all the harmful toxins absorbed throughout the day.  Adding some water to the rocks will create soft steam to reach a higher humidity level.  Both of these systems are seamlessly controlled by the Saunalogic SL2 control, equipped with Wifi application to turn your sauna on/off from your smart phone.  This room was installed with chromatherapy lighting and music, also controlled by the Saunalogic pad.  Amerec saunas are definitely of the highest quality and you can be sure that this is a lifetime investment you will not regret.

The 550 pad sets time/temperature, chromatherapy lighting, aroma therapy pump and music system.  Walk into your steam sauna, play your favorite tunes, set the mood right with the lighting system, bring aroma into the room at the touch of a button and end it all with a very relaxing bath at exactly the right temperature. 

The Steamist SMP-10 Steam Generator is pictured above with the AromaSense Module and 550 Control. 
This package was used to replace a twenty year old SM Steamist generator, the SMC-150 control was upgraded to the 550 Digital Control and the aromatherapy module was added.  The 550 control comes with Wi-Fi feature built in so that you can have the time and date automatically updated, also you can control the steambath from your smartphone! The AromaSense pump will allow you to use two different scents, these choices can be controlled from the 550 pad along with intensity of the aroma.  Steam Showers are no longer a commodity but a necessity, once you have enjoyed the health benefits of in home steam bathing a regular shower will feel incomplete without first taking a nice relaxing steam session.   

Steam vs. Sauna: 

This comparison comes up often while discussing options with my clients and I always say the best scenario is to have both if possible.  The two rooms are very different and they both provide different health benefits.  I would say one of the main benefits of a steam room is that it provides respiratory therapy.  Studies done by ​PubMed Central have shown that kids with respiratory infections recovered more quickly after steam therapy than those who did not use steam therapy. The warm and humid environment aids in warming the mucous membrane, thus breaking up congestion in the sinuses and lungs. Steam rooms also offer other health benefits such as improved circulation, lowering blood pressure, reducing stress, promoting skin health, prompt workout recovery, loosening joints and boosting the immune system.  Sauna rooms on the other hand, do not offer the same type of respiratory therapy as steam rooms, but they do help relax and loosen stiff muscles, improve circulation, reduce stress, promote skin health and boost the immune system. 

Why do I say you should have both? 

Putting the numerous health benefits aside, steam and sauna rooms will provide very different feelings and experiences.  Steam rooms will make you feel like you are in a stress melting cloud of a very humid ambiance, allowing you to put your whole day into perspective and giving you a clear mind for new great ideas.  Saunas, along with the aromatic cedar, will make you feel like you are somewhere deep in the forest, while you see all the toxins leaving your body.  The humidity will not condense body sweat and the dry heat will soothe achy muscles and joints. The next best thing is to have at least one! Either way it will make your life better :) 

The Steamist SMP-15 steam bath generator with Spa Package comes with the 550 control, steamhead, marine grade music speakers, chroma therapy lighting system, aroma therapy automated pump, drain pan and autodrain valve.  The equipment manufactured by Steamist in New Jersey is top of the line and adding this to your steam shower will create a personal retreat of wellness and stress relieving effects. Just think of finishing your work day, maybe getting a workout in the books and ending it all with a half hour session of steam sauna, listening to your favorite music, changing the mood with the different colors of the lighting system, pressing a button on your control and getting eucalyptus mixed into the steam, as Steamist says relax, restore, renew. 

Dont worry about maintenance! The autodrain will release all excess water from the tank and keep the steam generator clean, this is done automatically every time, worry free!

If you're still wondering wether or not a steam shower can significantly enhance your life, here is a brief description of the health benefits taking steam baths on a regular basis offers:

• The heat provided by a steam room improves circulation by dilating the capillaries, thus allowing blood to flow more easily around the body.
  
• The heat will allow you to sweat, opening up the pores and cleansing the outer skin. Steam rooms help release toxins trapped in the skin. 
  
• The heat relaxes the muscles after a workout and this is important to provide a quick recovery. 
• The steamy heat helps loosen stiff joints and increase flexibility. 
• Just as going for a run, in the steam room heat your body will release endorphins and lower cortisol levels as your stress is decreased by the steamy environment.  
• The steam room helps remove congestion in the sinuses and can be used to treat colds and relieve congestion due to allergies. 
• The heat in a steam room elevates your heart rate and helps you burn calories. 

Having a steam shower in your home brings an oasis of relaxation that you will look forward to on a daily basis. The stress relieving effects, coupled with the release of toxins through your perspiration and respiratory therapeutics, will make you feel renewed and completely relaxed. The Steamist equipment is manufactured in New Jersey and it is one of the highest quality available in the market, your investment will not be lost in a steam unit that will last up to twenty years!

Converting your shower into a steam room is possible and it will enhance the quality of your life, that is a Steam and Sauna Experts guarantee! 

Steamist manufactures top of the line steam units in New Jersey and for this steam room we used the SMP system with their 250 time and temperature control. The unit was installed in the attic with a drain pan for safety, both the drain pan and auto drain discharge will go to separate lines outside the house. The auto drain will clean the steam unit after every session and this will keep the tank clean and prevent sediment build up. 

I have seen twenty year old Steamist units in the field and they are still working! For residential steam units a yearly maintenance is recommended and this will allow the unit to run smoothly for twenty plus years! If you are looking to build a steam room or retrofit your existing shower into one, Steamist will be a high quality, dependable steam unit that will be worth every penny you spend.
