Product description
The submitted illustration and documentation depicts and describes an item identified as a Steam Shower Unit. This unit is essentially a shower stall or enclosure that incorporates additional features that are situated in the ceiling and back panels, such as a steam generator, 6 body massage jets, ozone sterilization function, overhead rainfall showerhead, multifunctional handheld showerhead, computer control panel, digital timer and water temperature control, temperature detecting system, FM radio with Hi-Fi surround sound speaker system, hand-free telephone with microphone and keypad, blue fluorescent lighting, overhead light, ventilation fan and storage shelves. The hand-free telephone can be answered with a push of a button and at that time the radio automatically stops, as one of the speakers acts as an earphone. The microphone and keypad for the hand-free telephone are located on the computer control panel. The ozone sterilization function of the steam shower unit kills bacteria that typically grow in a humid environment. The back panel, top and base are all made of 100% acrylic reinforced with fiberglass. The door is made of 5 millimeter glass with a stainless steel frame. Adjustable stainless steel legs are attached at the bottom of the fiberglass reinforced acrylic base, to adjust the stability of the base if the floor is uneven. All of the above stated components will be packed in several corrugated boxes which will be contained in one wood crate and imported in one shipment.
