expected showers

No umbrella is required for the RainSkyM shower panel. Bathers select “invigorating downpour” to wake up or “tranquil mist” for winding down. Three spray options operate individually or in combination, and temperature calibrates to the exact degree. Integrated into the ceiling, stainless steel panels measure 40¼ by 31½ inches and come in brushed or polished finishes. Dornbracht, 800.774.1181; www.dornbracht.com.

pro choice

Choose between a traditional Finnish sauna heater or nine infrared wall panel heaters in the Synergy combo sauna. Infrared panels warm up quickly and aim heat directly at the bather—good for warming up specific muscles to prevent or heal injuries. The sauna heater fills the room in heat and humidity for a longer relaxation session.

Both systems operate separately via digital control panels near the curved glass door. Western red cedar or European alder interiors are designed for sumptuous basking. Helo Saunas/Saunatec, 800.882.4352; www.helosaunas.com.

Drop-in deck mounting or undermount installations can be set in a corner or freestanding island. Kohler, 800.4.KOHLER; www.kohler.com.
