Effe home wellness suite combining sauna and steam room design
Effe — Perfect Wellness

Steam & Sauna

Saunas and Hammams — two ancient rituals of heat, regeneration and wellbeing. Coordinating cubicles that blend effortlessly into both spa and living areas, built in top-quality materials and engineered for the privacy of your home.
The Technology

Steam generators for custom Hammams.

Steam generators produce and introduce steam into Hammams. Sophisticated technologies are needed to ensure the best possible steam quality. The water which is converted into steam must be sanitised and descaled, and a high-performance boiler is needed to keep the temperature constant.

The steam generator must be energy efficient — and the Power Steam function, which ensures the steam circulates correctly and the temperature is distributed evenly throughout the Hammam, is crucial.

Two rituals, one philosophy

Dry heat. Humid heat.

Saunas and Hammams have very different features and requirements — but share the same purpose: to relax the body, regenerate the mind, and strengthen the immune system through the ancient practice of heat.

Sauna

Cubicles with dry heat
Saunas are cubicles with dry heat: the humidity in a sauna is very low (20% max.), while temperatures can reach 90–100°C. They are built in top-quality wood and have special heaters to keep the temperature constant.

They are a great way of relaxing, both in the privacy of your home and in public spas. The sauna has ancient origins and has always been popular due to the beneficial effects it has on our health.

Hammam

Cubicles with humid heat
Hammams, Steam cabins or Turkish baths, are cubicles with humid heat: the density of the steam can reach 90–100%, while temperatures remain relatively low at around 40–50°C. When designing a Hammam, there must be enough space for the steam, and water and air must be able to flow correctly.

When practised properly, this ancient steam bath ritual energises and regenerates the body, as well as strengthening the immune system.

Hammam + Sauna together
The coordinating sauna and Hammam cubicles are both elegant and compact, blending effortlessly into both spa and living areas. Sauna and Hammams have very different features and requirements: saunas are cubicles with dry heat and are made, for the most part, of wood.

Wood is a poor conductor of heat, so is safe to the touch, even at very high temperatures (up to 90–100°C). The temperature in a Hammam, on the other hand, is lower but the humidity is a lot higher, so materials must be water-repellent.
