Turkish bath

Prefabricated hammam cabins, 2 to 8 seats

A Turkish bath does not have to be built in masonry. The 5 cabins in the range arrive prefabricated and complete with steam generator, from € 3.650 to € 5.755, and install into an existing room with no building work. Sizes run from the 130 × 120 cm of the Turkish bath BL-2B for 2 seats to the 190 × 250 cm of the Turkish bath BL-8B for 8. Height is around 225 cm across the range, and it is the first figure to check in the destination room.

What separates a Turkish bath from a sauna

This is the question that precedes the choice, and the answer lies in humidity. A Turkish bath works between 40 and 50 degrees at humidity close to 100%: steam saturates the room, you breathe warm damp air, and the heat feels far higher than the thermometer indicates. A Finnish sauna does the opposite: 80 to 90 degrees at low humidity, dry air. It is not a difference of intensity but of nature, and anyone who has tried both generally chooses by feel rather than by specification.

The steam generator must be sized to the cabin

It is the component that makes everything work, and the only one requiring a technical choice. Output ranges from 3,000 to 10,500 W and depends on the cubic metres of the cabin, not on preference: an undersized generator produces steam that disperses faster than it is generated, and the room stays lukewarm. On the cabins in the range the generator is already included and sized. A ventilated equipment bay is needed to house it, along with a water supply, a drain and an adequate electrical circuit: above 6,000 W a three-phase supply is almost always required.

Bespoke builds, and outdoor installation

Where the space matches no standard size we build bespoke Turkish baths, adapted to the room plan. For outdoor installation the indoor cabins are not suitable as they are: they need the dedicated outdoor enclosures, available for each size, which add the structural protection required. In both cases the starting point is a survey of the room or of the outdoor space.

Frequently asked questions about Turkish baths

How much does a prefabricated Turkish bath cost? The cabins in the range run from € 3.650 to € 5.755, steam generator included. Bespoke builds are quoted against the project.

Is a specific room required? You need a space with sufficient height, a floor drain, a water supply and an electrical circuit sized to the generator. The room walls do not need waterproofing: the cabin is enclosed and the steam stays inside.

Can it go in the garden? Not directly: the cabins are designed for indoor use. Outdoor use requires the enclosure dedicated to the size, which adds the structural protection.

What is the difference from a sauna? A Turkish bath works at 40 to 50 degrees at near-total humidity, a Finnish sauna at 80 to 90 degrees in dry air. They are two different experiences, not two levels of the same one.

What does it cost to run? It depends on generator output and how often the cabin is used. The largest consumption is during the initial heat-up; once at working condition the generator cycles to maintain saturation.
