Steam Shower questions?
Comments (8)At what height should these be? I am being told that 18" off the floor is the norm, but this sounds low to me. I'm doing a commercial steam room at a hotel health spa right now, the benches for that one are also exactly 18" off the floor. My experience has been 17-19" is the norm. Also, I am being advised to put a Panasonic fan inside the shower (with another one outside). I cannot find any info on this, but wanted to know if anyone else actually put one into the shower itself.

We will be using the Kerdi method , will this be a problem with the fan inside? Nope! :-)...See MoreMom's Curbless Steam Shower - one more question

Comments (2)The only way to answer your question is to see the cavity behind the trim plate. specifically how its vaporproofed and then see that all the residue was removed from caulk properly allowing silicone replacement to bond correctly and not trap caulk residue. The vaporproofing should be tied in behind trim as to not rely on an outer bead of silicone and in so trusting that trim kit itself wont allow vapor to pass into wall cavity . It would take an onsite asessment to verify A >Good to go.:)...See MoreAto Manuud
