Corner Steam Shower

Corner Steam Shower Styles and Configurations

A corner steam shower has a square footprint that sits in a 90-degree wall corner, with the glass front spanning the corner. A neo-angle design sets a flat panel at an angle across it; a quarter-round design uses a curved front. The standalone corner units in this collection, including the Mesa 9090 and WS-302A and the Ariel Platinum DZ934F3, DZ962F8 and DZ963F8, have curved fronts. Both styles sit against two walls and leave the rest of your bathroom open.

Within those shapes, you're choosing between a standalone shower enclosure and a steam shower tub combo. Standalone corner units start at a compact 35" x 35" (Ariel Platinum DZ934F3) or 36" x 36" (Mesa 9090K) footprint and work well in smaller bathrooms. Corner tub combos like the Mesa WS-608A give you a full jetted soaking tub below with a steam enclosure above, all tucked into a 63" x 63" corner footprint.

How to Pick the Right Corner Unit

Measure your corner first

Measure before you buy. The standalone corner units in this collection measure 35"–47" along each wall (Ariel Platinum DZ934F3 to DZ962F8), and the corner tub combos 48"–63" (Mesa WS-609 to WS-608). Measure the available corner wall lengths, confirm ceiling height (units stand 85"–89" tall, and most product pages add 2" for the ventilation exhaust pipe), and check the route into the bathroom. Each product page lists exact dimensions, and the spec sheet shows where the plumbing and power connections sit.

Standalone shower vs. tub combo

If your bathroom already has a separate bathtub, a standalone corner steam shower is the cleaner choice. It keeps the footprint small and installation simpler. If you're replacing both a tub and a shower in a single remodel, a corner tub combo with steam does both jobs in one unit and actually saves floor space compared to separate fixtures.

Glass finish and color options

Most Mesa corner models come in clear or blue-tinted tempered glass. Blue glass adds privacy and gives the enclosure a spa feel; clear glass keeps the bathroom feeling more open. The Ariel Platinum DZ962F8 and DZ963F8 come in a white or black finish, which pairs well with modern monochrome bathroom finishes.

Brands in This Collection

Mesa makes up the majority of our corner lineup. They specialize in self-contained steam shower enclosures with a built-in 3kW steam generator, acupuncture body jets, rainfall and handheld showerheads and, on most models, ozone sterilization and an FM radio. Mesa lists a 7-year structural warranty against manufacturer defects and a 1-year warranty on steam shower parts for residential use. Their corner models span solo showers, walk-in configurations, and tub combinations.

Ariel Platinum takes a more design-forward approach. Every Ariel Platinum model lists an aromatherapy system, LED chromotherapy lighting and an LCD computer control panel, and the DZ962F8, DZ963F8 and DA333F8 use a 6kW steam generator (the compact DZ934F3 uses 3kW). The DZ962F8 has 12 acupressure body jets, and the DA333F8 is a 59" x 59" corner tub combo. If the look of the enclosure matters as much as the steam function, Ariel Platinum is worth comparing. Models like the DZ963F8 are available in both white and black finishes.

Installation Requirements

Every corner steam shower in this collection is a self-contained enclosure, so it does not require the same custom steam-room waterproofing system as a site-built tiled steam room; follow the installation manual, local plumbing and electrical code, and the floor and subfloor requirements. You'll need 1/2" hot and cold water supply connections, a drain sized to the model's spec sheet (Mesa lists a 1-1/2" drain intake and includes a pre-cut drain with a 1-1/2" flexible drain hose; the Ariel Platinum DZ963F8 lists a 2" drain intake), and a dedicated 220V circuit (the DA333F8 is listed at 110/220V) with the ground-fault or leakage protection its manual specifies.

Breaker size, conductor size and circuit configuration must be taken from the installation manual for the specific steam shower, and Mesa's tub-combo spec sheets call for two dedicated circuits rather than one. Two steam generators with the same kW rating can have different electrical requirements. Every Topture steam shower page lists the manufacturer specifications for that model. Final installation must be verified by a licensed electrician.

Have a licensed plumber and a licensed electrician make the connections. Mesa states that its warranty requires installation by a licensed plumber and electrician, and Ariel Platinum's manuals direct the electrical work to a qualified electrician. The enclosure arrives as components for assembly in the bathroom: Mesa lists adult assembly as required, and Ariel Platinum's manuals show a two-person assembly.

Looking for a different shape?

If your bathroom layout has a long wall rather than an open corner, rectangular steam showers may be a better fit. You can also browse our full steam shower collection to compare every size and configuration we carry, or narrow your search to two-person steam showers if you need more interior space.
