Cheaper to Install Than Steam Saunas
Adding a sauna room to your home might seem like the ultimate luxury, but it’s surprisingly affordable if you go for the dry sauna instead of the steam option. Unfortunately, not only is the latter much more difficult to install (requiring professionals), but it’s also more challenging to maintain. Maintenance for a steam sauna involves constantly cleaning the room due to the potential for mold and mildew to grow. In addition, the hot and damp environment can lead to potentially harmful substances if left unchecked. On the other hand, the dry sauna is not only cheaper to install in your home, but it’s built in such a way that maintenance is not an issue.
As the dry sauna uses a heater and circulates heat around, you could potentially clean the room by simply turning up the heater. Without the presence of moisture and dampness, it’s not easy for mold to grow. If you’re considering adding a sauna room to your home and are worried about price and maintenance, choose the dry sauna option, as it alleviates many potential issues. While steam saunas are still great, the dry sauna is the superior home alternative.
