Consumers need to realize that the walls of most steam shower units are made from glass and that they are constantly exposed to moisture and steam. Glass panels are very resistant to mold and mildew that can result from frequent use, but aluminum is very rust resistant. The glass panels do very well with the sturdy aluminum frames. Consumers should be careful not to fall for the less expensive metal coated frames. They do not hold up well to regular use.
Steam showers have floors made from acrylic material to prevent bacterial growth. Of course you need to keep in mind that there are high and poor levels of acrylic. The highest quality of acrylic has a dark color, while a floor with bright white is made of a very poor quality acrylic compound. The poor quality acrylic is a fire hazard. It is certainly prudent for the consumer to purchase their steam shower from a reputable manufacture. The manufacturer you choose must conduct very rigorous product tests to ensure product safety. Make sure before you make a purchase that you are getting a good warranty.
