May 16, 2011 – Modular steam showers are imported products and currently there are not North American manufacturers of them. However, regardless of their ‘import-only’ status, several modular steam shower brands have a huge North American presence.

Ariel and Oasis, two of the largest and most well-known manufactures of high quality modular steam showers have recently teamed up to offer the best product with the best warranty to Canadian citizens.

Canadian consumers can save thousands of dollars and time by purchasing an Oasis steam shower online from companies like http://www.bathroomgetaways.com . Offering free delivery on all steam showers, the prices range from $2,500 - $4,500.

In a local showroom, consumers should be prepared to spend $4,500 - $8,000 for the same product. Additionally, often the product is not in stock at a local showroom, so customers may be forced to wait 6-10 weeks or even longer to receive the unit. Also, in the event that the product is damaged upon arrival, the showroom may not not have the replacement parts needed on hand. In this case, one may have to wait an additional 6-10 weeks for replacement parts.

This is the Oasis advantage. All steam showers are in stock, and shipping to the majority of major cities is free and usually takes only 7-10 days after purchasing. All parts are also in stock. Furthermore, Oasis Steam Showers are backed by a 5 year electrical and plumbing component warranty by Ariel. Overall, Oasis steam showers give consumers the most bang for their buck and with the Canadian dollar at an all-time high anyone can save even more when purchasing through a U.S. distributor.

Choosing the Right Walk in Shower or Steam Shower Unit for ...

Mobility issues and handicaps can create a unique set of problems in the home, and particularly the bathroom. This area tends to be smaller, harder to maneuver in and contains a variety of hazards that can cause accidental slips and falls. Today, there are a wide variety of bathroom installations that can make mobility problems less of an issue and many of these items are also wheelchair accessible. However, the shower can pose one of the greatest challenges. Traditional designs can pose safety and mobility issues, which can cause accidents and take away an individuals’ independence. However, walk in showers and steam shower units are available in a wide range of designs that are barrier free and ADA compliant. Installation of one of these products can transform your bathroom space, into a safe and accommodating place for family members and guests.

Walk in showers and steam shower units come in a wide variety of styles, and offer accessories that make dealing with mobility issues easier. These designs are ideal for accommodating the elderly and disabled because of the additional safety features. However, finding the right shower design can be a difficult process. Traditional bathtub and shower combinations have a high wall that can be difficult to maneuver around, posing a safety hazard to the elderly and those with mobility issues.  The above mentioned designs can completely eliminate this problem. One of the first aspects you should look for are models that are “barrier free.” But what exactly does this term mean? These designs utilize a low threshold pan that is only an inch or two above floor level, making it easy to step over – minimizing the risk of falling. If this raised lip is still a concern, consider a model that has a basin area that lies completely flush with the floor. When combined with the use of non-slip flooring, this can be one of the safest options for your new bathroom design.

Another feature to look for in walk in showers and steam shower units is a label indicating ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance. ADA compliant shower designs have to meet a specific set of criteria to ensure they are wheelchair accessible and able to aid those with mobility issues. Wider doorways, low or no barrier entranceways, seating and hand rails provide an increased level of safety and security that is unmatched by traditional bathtub shower combinations. However, before installing a steam shower unit – an additional aspect must be considered. While walk in showers are safe for everyone to use, the high levels of heat and humidity generated by steam units can be dangerous and even deadly. The elderly, individuals with heart conditions, circulatory problems and similar issues are at increased risk, and should consult with a physician before using the steam feature on one of these units.
