What We Build
What is a Custom Steam Room?
A custom steam room is a fully enclosed tiled space with a commercial-grade steam generator, proper vapor barrier, and dedicated ventilation. Unlike a sauna which uses dry heat, a steam room operates at lower temperatures between 100 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit with near 100 percent humidity, producing a wet heat environment that feels intense despite the lower temperature.
Asheville Custom Saunas is a custom steam room builder and installer serving Asheville, NC and Western North Carolina. We design and build custom steam rooms from scratch using your choice of tile, stone, or mosaic finishes, with steam generators sized for your room and plumbing coordinated for seamless integration. Every project is managed in-house from consultation through final installation.
Steam rooms are popular additions to master bathrooms, home spas, and wellness facilities across the Asheville area. They pair exceptionally well with a shower or sauna for contrast therapy and are a high-value upgrade for any home wellness space.
We install properly sized commercial steam generators rated for your room's cubic footage for consistent, reliable steam output.
Every steam room is built with a complete vapor barrier system to protect your home's structure from moisture damage over time.
Your choice of tile, natural stone, or mosaic finishes professionally installed for a spa-quality look that holds up to daily use.
We coordinate licensed plumbers and electricians for steam generator connections, drains, and lighting — all managed by our team.
We manage all permit applications with the City of Asheville and Buncombe County on your behalf.
We come to you. No showroom, no walk-ins. All consultations at your home at no charge.

What Asheville Homeowners Say
"We had a custom steam room built in our master bathroom with a large format stone tile. The team handled everything from the vapor barrier to the generator hookup. It looks and works like a high-end spa."
"The steam room was completed in four days. They coordinated the plumber and the tile work themselves. The mosaic tile finish came out beautifully and the generator has been reliable since day one."
"We use the steam room after every hike. The combination of wet heat and the stone walls makes it feel like a proper spa. Very happy with the build quality and the project management throughout."

A sauna uses dry heat at 160 to 195 degrees Fahrenheit. A steam room uses wet heat at 100 to 115 degrees with near 100 percent humidity. Saunas offer a high heat dry experience. Steam rooms offer a lower temperature wet heat experience. Both are excellent for wellness and recovery and pair well together for contrast therapy.
