I am going to remodel a very small bathroom, rip out tub and install or build a shower stall. I want to add a steam generator to make this a "steambath/shower". Any suggestions? Best prefab stall? Build stall out of ceramic tiles? Best Steam Generator on the market? Thank you in advance for any help. Gatsby

The steam showers I've done have been from ceramic tile, walls, floor and ceiling. I use a moisture barrier behind the mortar, but you could use cement backer with a waterproofing system on its surface.

I have not seen a pre-fab unit. What I know about the generators is that for a very small gadget, they are expensive. I think you should jump over to the plumbing department on that one.
