Modern day steam saunas resemble magnificent ancient Roman therms and now they are commonly called Turkish sauna baths.

The Eastern bath culture has been interesting for Europeans since the early times of Marco Polo travels and the Crusades. Today a steam sauna bath becomes as popular as a traditional Finnish sauna.

The history of the Turkish bath derives from the ancient times when only the Roman elite were able to have such a pleasure. The baths were equipped in the government or elite palaces. Nowadays this bath type is known all over the world.

It becomes popular in Lithuania as well, especially for its hot and humid although soft steam. Turkish Sauna bath is a specific ritual which requires certain environment, smart design as well as appropriate mood. The requirements survived from the history and rituals of the sauna itself.

The first Turkish baths were established in Constantinople (now Istanbul) after the Muslims have conquered the city. They differed from the Roman therms that the floor was heated by hot air and then poured over with cold water and this was the way to get specific steam. The Turkish baths became popular in all Eastern countries very quickly due to the fact that people who had a regular bath treatment were protected from various illnesses.

The Turkish-steam bath is not only a perfect place for relaxation, prophylactic against various diseases, a source of good health but also a beautiful Eastern tradition qualifying visual impressions. Therefore, Turkish sauna bath designers pay much attention to interior.

Throughout the centuries this sauna type has been modified by adding new technological elements, expanding the sauna room and paying greater attention to interior decoration.

A possibility to experience pleasures of a massage session after the sauna ritual allows imagining the Mediterranean paradise or an extraordinary wonderland.

A modern steam sauna may be equipped in a small room according to different projects. There are also various prefabricated models of steam saunas. However, the most popular are individual projects in private and public objects.
