    Would like to build a wet steam house. What boiler to buy?
    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.

    Google Image Result for http://cdn.overstock.com/images/products/3/P11120811.jpg

    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?
