I want to tread very carefully on the subject of steam shower reviews.  Frankly, I don’t want to insult anyone, I don’t want anyone to be angry at me, and I don’t want to look like this is a commercial site.  Instead of posting bad things about certain companies, or talking about showers that I don’t like, I’m going to go with another approach.  If I like a shower, I will write about it and leave the negativity to other sites.  The first shower fixture I am going to feature is a showerpipe.

This is the ShowerArc by Hans Grohe:

Picking the shower fixtures is the 3rd most important part of building a steam room — after the tile and hydromassage jets.  You’ll want a showerhead that sits at the right height, really drenches you, and adds a stylish look to your bathroom.  This particular unit features a 7″ showerhead, 3 spray modes (mixed, massage, and normal), 6 adjustable body sprays, and a thermostatic valve to prevent you from burning or freezing yourself.  It’s only available in a chrome finish, and it can be hooked up between walls or in the corner of your shower.

I think it adds an elegant look to any steam room.  Anything by Hans Grohe tends to be pricey, so watch out.  Also, watch out for eBay — fakes and bad customer service abound.
