Premium Soaking Tubs
Establish comfort and convenience by choosing a well-insulated deep soaking tub that meets both code compliance and comfort needs. Choose standalone tubs with reinforced floors, capacity of 50-75 gallons, and deep soaking design (19-23 inches to overflow) for total body soaking. Confirm safety certifications, non-slip surfaces, and controlled overflow systems. Put in a two-inch trap, accessible shutoffs, and scald protection via thermal mixing valves with 120°F maximum.
Ensure adequate floor clearance (30x48 inches minimum) for side transfer, including a properly elevated rim (seventeen to nineteen inches), and stabilizing bar backing at thirty-three to thirty-six inches AFF. Install a reduced-height or transfer deck, non-slip flooring, and stability anchoring. Choose quiet sound dampening, 0.75-inch supply for enhanced delivery, and separate GFCI where heated surfaces are included. Finish with anti-fungal caulk and balanced ventilation.
Saunas and Steam Showers
When designing steam showers and saunas that combine serenity with specifications, you'll need to ensure proper heat therapy while adhering to building codes and accessibility requirements. Begin by implementing a completely sealed envelope: pitched overhead surfaces, moisture-resistant illumination, and vapor barriers appropriate for wet areas. Specify thermal-wrapped steam conduits, an automatic-flush generator, and a pressure and heat control valve. Determine generator specifications using room volume, surface materials, and window factors to ensure efficient heat-up and steady humidity control.
