There are different meanings of the word “portable” especially when it comes to steam rooms.
- A portable unit can either be one that is easy to set up (within 20 minutes to half an hour) or one that is simply a modular design that you can buy from the store and set up.
- The second type has a more permanent placement, and is only referred to as “portable” because it is mostly ready-made.
- The third type of “portable” refers to a steam room that can be set up in a few minutes and can be folded and stored away after use. These are also referred to as portable saunas and are made from special fabric.
Now that you know what can be meant by the term “portable” you can now decide which one you’re looking for.
Why Go Portable In The First Place?
There are numerous advantages of having a portable steam room. The traditional type of steam room is built into the house and those contractor fees can be quite expensive! Not to mention maintenance…

Some advantages of portable steam rooms include:
- Save On Space: Now, more than ever, space is a rare commodity. In a world of high rise apartments and exorbitant prices per square foot, we simply don’t have as much space as we’d like. A portable steam room is great because it takes up less space and you can even fold some away after use.
- Less Expensive: A portable sauna or room will cost between $100 – $2,500 whereas non portable types can cost as much as $5,000 +
- Easy To Set Up: Portable means easy to set up and easy to take down. If you don’t like complexity … this is the steam room for you.
Despite many of these advantages there are also disadvantages:
Portable types are less durable, especially the material types. Also, they are quite small, so if you have problems with claustrophobia, then you might want to rethink.
