What is a steam shower?
A steam shower is an enclosed shower stall with an additional steam function. A steam generator produces water vapor that is distributed throughout the stall. This allows the same space to be used for daily showers and for a steam bath at home.
This combination is particularly appealing when space is limited. A steam shower does not necessarily require more floor space than a conventional shower and can be integrated into the existing bathroom design. Instead of creating a separate wellness room, the bathroom itself becomes the space for both showering and steam.
At Küng, the shower is tailored to the available space. Dimensions, installation type, materials, and technology are planned collaboratively to ensure the steam shower blends seamlessly into the room both functionally and aesthetically.

A steam shower combines a daily shower with a steam bath in a single enclosure. A separate steam room, on the other hand, is designed as a standalone wellness area.
Which solution is best suited for your home depends on the available space and how you plan to use the area. We design both compact steam showers and custom-built steam rooms.
A Küng project featuring a bathroom from the 1980s measuring just under 4 m² demonstrates just how much can be transformed in a small space. Using SteamFit Compact, it was transformed into a small wellness bathroom with a mini-hamam. Prefabricated elements were combined with custom designs.
This proves that a small bathroom doesn’t have to be crammed with as many features as possible. The key is to make strategic use of the available space and to plan the shower, steam, and design as a unified whole.
Placing the Steam Generator and Equipment Correctly
The steam generator doesn’t have to be the focal point of the bathroom. Its location is planned to suit the spatial and technical conditions. In doing so, Küng also ensures that the unit remains accessible for operation and service. The appropriate solution depends on the size and design of the steam shower.
This means that a steam shower for the home cannot be designed in isolation from the bathroom. The space, plumbing connections, steam technology, and desired features are all considered together. This results in a solution that makes effective use of the available space and blends seamlessly into the bathroom’s design.
Features include, among other things, a WSP® shower floor, insulated walls, safety glass, a steam nozzle, and a steam generator. RGBW LED lighting and a touchscreen display round out the technical features.
In addition, SteamFit can be customized. Colors according to the RAL or NCS systems, additional niches, a seat, or a photo print offer various options for adapting the steam shower to your bathroom and your preferences.
Depending on the model, features include a WSP® shower floor, insulated WSP® walls, safety glass, and RGBW ceiling lighting. A floating bench can also be integrated into the design, creating a dedicated space for a relaxing steam bath.
Lotus is therefore ideal for anyone who views their home steam shower not merely as a combination of a shower and a steam room, but who also wants to consciously incorporate the natural herbal experience into their personal wellness ritual.
WSP® for Seamless Steam Showers
In a steam shower, surfaces are exposed to water, heat, and high humidity every day. That’s why Küng relies on WSP®, a composite material that can be installed seamlessly and custom-shaped. At the manufacturing facility in Altendorf, this material is used to create shower floors, walls, and other elements for steam showers, among other products.
The seamless surface makes cleaning easier, as dirt and residue cannot accumulate in numerous joints. At the same time, the material offers design freedom: surfaces can be customized to match the bathroom’s design and finished in various RAL or NCS colors.
This makes WSP® particularly well-suited for custom-made steam showers. Niches, seating areas, and other elements can be integrated into a cohesive design concept, rather than appearing as individual parts added as an afterthought.
