A sauna is dry heat bath with high temperatures and low humidity. It is typically constructed of wood. Temperatures typically range from 70 to 105 C (160 to 221 F) with 2-5% humidity. Some people enjoy increasing short bursts of high humidity in the sauna by pouring water on hot rocks that are part of the sauna stove.
A steam room is operated at 100% condensing humidity, giving a steamy appearance to the atmosphere in the interior of the room. The high humidity increases the perception of heat in the steam room, so the temperature is typically operated around 47 C (116 F). Because of the high humidity, steam rooms are made from impervious materials like metal, plastics or tiles.

What features should I look for when shopping for sauna kits?
You have to decide which type of sauna you are interested in purchasing. There is the traditional steam sauna, and infrared. Infrared is said to have better penetration and detox capabilities. You will also need to determine what room the sauna will be placed, because the steam sauna will emit more moisture into the environment. So, I would inquire about moisture barriers and the type of material a steam sauna is constructed for future maintenance. Steam saunas are more of a permanent structure, while infrared are more portable . Lastly, I would inquire about the amount of power required to operate you sauna, as well as service and warranties to protect your investment.
