Loved going to Slyvan lake steam house and I would like to replicate that design. It was an electric boiler with a globe valve per room and a radiator distributing the steam out. Currently there are steam showers but they are not fit for 2. I would like to gain any preference on which steam boiler would do or is there something else on the market to generate steam from/ or similar to the steam shower units but on a bigger scale for larger surface area to cover a room the size 10X 10 or less. Where can one buy these units?

Hi Lhenriksen...

I think you may be interested in a STEAM GENERATOR.

Many different sizes available, but they can be very expensive.

Also, be sure to consider all requirements for a steam room including such things as a vapor barrier, sloped ceiling, fans, doors with transome, etc... ;)

Let us knbow if you'd like to discuss this more... OK?
