- Architects specifying wellness room technology in luxury residential drawings
- Interior designers selecting sauna and steam room finishes that affect sensor and control placement
- Homeowners planning integrated wellness spaces with audio, lighting, and climate control
When To Use It
- Before framing to establish sauna and steam room rough-in requirements

Field Notes
Wellness rooms require moisture-rated everything. A standard speaker, a standard keypad, a standard conduit fitting, none of those belong in a steam room. The one-pager specifies the correct ratings for each component so the right hardware is ordered before install day.
The control wiring for a sauna or steam generator is not glamorous, but missing it at rough-in means the homeowner's wellness space is controlled by a single wall switch instead of a full automation interface. Getting the pre-wire right makes the commissioning phase straightforward.
