Mr. Steam, the Feel Good company, introduces iSteam, a new home steam shower experience that marks a new era in bathroom remodeling options. As easy to use as a smart phone, the beautiful graphics of the iSteam touch panel are unprecedented in steam controls. “We set out to create the best possible user experience, integrating all the benefits of steam bathing and accessories into one highly intuitive control,” says Mike Pinkus, Mr. Steam president and the lead industrial designer behind iSteam. “With swipe-touch simplicity, iSteam creates a near-magical transformation of your shower.” Set nearly flush into the wall, iSteam functions as a dashboard to easily customize every aspect of the home steam shower experience.
It displays only the function the user wants, instead of a confusing array of tiny buttons or complex navigation. Features such as temperature, duration, aromatherapy, chromatherapy and music are all hidden until needed. Available in black and white finishes, iSteam is design-matched to the high-grade, cool-to-the-touch iSteam steamheads.
An optional tactile, elegantly molded wireless control called iGenie remotely preheats the steam shower from up to 100 feet away.
A Home Steam Shower for Me?
Home steam showers are growing in popularity, as a wellness-focused population learns more about the many benefits of steam bathing. From soothing respiratory passages to promoting softer, more supple skin, a daily steam shower can be life-changing. Using just two-gallons of water per 20-minute session, home steam showers are the newest must-have bathroom experience that can fit in the spaces and budgets for most new homes and bathroom remodels.
Bringing an iSteam system into your home bathroom requires a waterproof shower enclosure, a water-tight shower door, a floor drain and a sloping ceiling that is ideally no more than eight feet high (higher ceilings may require a more powerful generator). Surroundings may be tile, marble or other non-porous material. Correctly sizing the generator is crucial to user satisfaction, and Mr. Steam has an online steam shower sizing tool to assist designers and remodelers to specify the right size generator.
Mr. Steam generators are about the size of a briefcase, and can be installed up to 60 feet away from the shower. Simple plug-and-play design make it easy to install spa features such as ChromaSteam light systems, AromaSteam and MusicTherapy.
A Leader in Steam Technology
Mr. Steam’s roots in industrial steam go back to 1917, when company founder Arthur Sussman pioneered improved steam technologies to serve the garment industry. Parent company Sussman Automatic still manufacturers industrial steam technology in New York City, maintaining the highest levels of quality control in serving the aerospace, military and medical industries. Mr. Steam was founded more than 50 years ago, and stands behind its products with the best warranties in the home steam shower industry.
“iSteam brings a level of sophistication that evokes an emotional response of serenity, connecting health and wellness within the place we call home,” Pinkus says. “It is the ultimate feel-good product.”
