You will need to adjust the cubic footage to determine the Total Room Volume.
If you want to learn more, please visit our website gtboiler.
Materials:
- For natural stone or marble, multiply by 2.0.
- For ceramic or porcelain tile, or glass block, multiply by 1.35.
- If using another material, consult the manufacturer for their recommendation in a steam shower application.
Exterior Wall: For one, multiply by 1.1; for two, multiply by 1.2.
Ceiling height: For a 9 ft. ceiling, multiply by 1.15; for a 10 ft. ceiling, multiply by 1.3.

Mr. Steam Generator Sizing
The type of materials used to construct your steamroom can have a profound effect
on its capacity. The capacities shown for the MS and CU series generators on our price
charts assume that your construction is tile on standard wallboard and framing, with no
exterior walls.
If your steam enclosure construction is acrylic, fiberglass or some other formed plastic,
a smaller generator than the chart indicates would be suitable, whereas construction
involving concrete or concrete block walls, glass or glass block walls, exterior walls,
etc., can dramatically increase the size of the generator required.
This page is designed to help you determine specifically what size generator you need, based
on the dimensions and type of construction involved. Rather than go by the actual capacity
of the steamroom, we calculate a Virtual Capacity based on the nature of its
construction.
You can use our interactive calculator below by completing the following fields or
simply use the multipliers in parentheses to make your calculations manually. For manual
calculations, add 15% for each foot over 8 feet in height and 1% for each foot of distance
over 25' between the Steam Generator and the Steamroom.
Enter your dimension in inches
(or contact us for help if your space is not rectangular)
Width (Inches)
Length (Inches)
Height (Inches)
Enter the distance between the Steam Generator and the Steamroom if greater than 25 feet
If any below apply, check all that's appropriate...
All Walls Plastic, e.g. Fiberglass, Acrylic,
Cultured Marble, etc. (x 0.65)
All Walls Concrete, Natural Marble, Glass
Block, Stone, Slate, etc. (x 2.00)
One Exterior Wall (x 1.15)
Two Exterior Walls (x 1.30)
Glass Wall in addition to door (x 1.15)
Marble Bench or Cast Iron Tub (x 1.15)
Please check this box if your application is a commercial or public steamroom (constant duty)
