The bathroom, for many of us, is always quite fixed in our imagination: toilet, bidet, sink, tub and/or shower. In short, a standard paradigm that is difficult to break, except in exceptional cases.
Exceptional cases can be represented by particular products, particular needs and desires of the owners. One of the many possibilities to personalize your bathroom is the creation of a so-called Turkish bath.
In this short article we will see together what exactly it is and how to build a Turkish bath in our future home or even in our current one. Are you ready to create your own wellness oasis?
What is a Turkish bath and the differences with a sauna
When we talk about Turkish baths, we often get confused with the Finnish sauna. Although the two places have elements in common, they are very different from each other.
The Turkish bath is characterized by temperatures that never exceed 50 degrees centigrade and humidity that can easily reach 100%. In the sauna, however, the temperatures rise much higher, up to 80-90 degrees centigrade, while the humidity remains very low, keeping the environment very dry.
In the Turkish bath the steam is released from special vents spread throughout the room, while in the sauna the heat and steam are propagated by the water poured onto the boiling lava stones.
The Turkish bath is used above all for its relaxing qualities, capable of cleansing our skin and lungs of impurities and stress.
How to build it
The Turkish bath, from an exotic relaxing environment, can now enter all of us’s homes, as long as we have adequate space to contain everything needed to proceed with the work.
First of all, you need to start by identifying the designated space. In fact, a Turkish bath can start from occupying the simple space of a shower, up to having a room all to itself.
Now we have to carry out what we believe to be the most important operation: insulation and waterproofing of the Turkish bath environment. All this is essential because only correct wall insulation and environmental waterproofing can prevent heat dissipation (significant energy savings) and the formation of humidity on walls or ceilings.
Aside from the coverings and the bench where you can sit during the treatment, the real heart of a Turkish bath is the steam generator. If you are looking for an extremely valid product, we always suggest the Nuvola Smart Power steam generator by Effegibi.
