Use of Glass in hot saunas and steam rooms
Premium ¼”, ⅜” , and ½” inch tempered glass can withstand heat generated for any hot sauna or steam room while helping your space be a little less claustrophobic and more inviting for a long relaxation. Using glass doors and walls as part of your sauna or steam room would add a level of elegance and sophistication to your space .
Advantages of using glass in a hot sauna or steam room

- Customizable to fit your space

Glass Customization options for hot sauna or steam room
- Glass types: Clear tempered glass is the primary choice, but almost any glass type can be used to enclose a hot sauna or steam room
- Glass thickness: ⅜” or ½” inch glass is the most popular option
- Glass Strength: Tempered glass to withstand the heat generated in the enclosure
- Hinge attachment type: Side hinge or Pivot hinge
- Attachment Type: U-Channels or clamps
- Handles: Any Handle with a C-pull handle or Ladder handles. In a hot sauna, if the heat source is too close to the door, a wooden handle may offer more safety

Managing Door gaps in a hot sauna or steam room
Steam room: For the door to swing, there has to be a small distance from all four sides; this gap is typically about ¼” or less. In a steam shower room environment, we typically use sweeps around the door to contain the steam in the steam room area. Sweeps are easily replaced as needed and, depending on usage, can last one to three years.
Hot sauna: In a hot sauna environment, we recommend not covering the door gaps, as these gaps provide a small level of ventilation for the inside of the hot sauna room.

Glass Saunas & Steam Rooms FAQs

Most glass panels for saunas and steam rooms are between 8 and 12 millimeters thick, or approximately one-third to one-half inch thick. The exact thickness varies depending on the panel size and the manufacturer.
Yes, you can customize the glass with frosting, tinting, etching, or patterns to add privacy or match your style.
