Turkish hammams built around a heated stone platform
A hammam is a warm, humid room built in stone: a heated central marble platform for lying and scrub treatments, warm benches, wash basins with hot and cold water, and a domed or vaulted ceiling that lets condensation run down the walls instead of dripping on bathers. The air is typically held around 40–50°C at high humidity.
Most of the work is hidden behind the stone. The room needs a waterproof substrate and membrane, heating under the platform and benches, a correctly sized steam generator, drainage falls to floor gullies and IP-rated low-voltage lighting, all coordinated before the marble or mosaic goes on. We plan stone layout, plumbing, electricals and commissioning as one project.
How we work
- Site survey: room size, slab, drainage and power
- Layout: platform, benches, basins and ceiling profile
- Waterproof substrate, membrane and drainage falls
- Platform heating and steam generator sizing
- Marble or stone cladding, basins and lighting
- Heat-up commissioning, safety checks and handover

Common questions
What is the difference between a hammam and a steam room?
A steam room is a sealed cabin filled with dense steam for short sessions. A hammam is a larger stone room built for a slower ritual of warming, washing and scrubbing: it adds a heated marble platform, wash basins with running water and usually gentler humidity.
How much does a hammam cost to build?
The main cost drivers are room size, the stone chosen (marble, granite or mosaic), platform and bench heating, steam generator capacity, the ceiling profile and the extent of civil and plumbing work. Each hammam is designed for its space, so we quote after a free site survey.
How long does hammam construction take?
Longer than a prefabricated steam cabin, because waterproofing, heating and stone cladding are built in stages with curing time between them. The schedule is fixed after the survey, once the room, stone and civil scope are confirmed.
What maintenance does a hammam need?
Daily wipe-down and drying with ventilation running after use, periodic sealing of natural stone, keeping floor drains clear, and regular descaling of the steam generator, especially in hard-water areas.
