Bespoke Laconium spa

Stimulate your senses the ancient way with a hot, dry Laconium spa, custom designed and installed by Leisurequip experts

Luxury saunas designed for any requirement

If you are looking for a comprehensive approach to designing and building a bespoke Laconium spa look no further than Leisurequip. This popular Roman warm room is usually custom built as part of a suite of thermal rooms for a commercial spa complex. The combined effect is a wellness experience unlike any other.

Our bespoke Laconium spa installation offers a milder alternative to sweat therapy rooms and hot saunas. Typically, you spend 20 minutes in a Laconium followed by a warm steam shower. They are generally designed to be part of a wellness suite such as a Hammam spa or used in combination with a tiled steam room.

Frequently asked questions

In a Laconium spa installation the walls, benches and floor are all tiled and thermostatically heated to a temperature of around 65˚C. It is a warm rather than stiflingly hot steam room and a good place to start your thermal journey.

A lesser known fact is that it is also known as a Spartan bath as it is the only warm bath they permitted. The interior is usually circular in shape, blue in colour and either fully tiled or plastered with marble stucco.

As with most hot steam rooms, regular use of a Laconium would generate benefits such as improved circulation, clearer skin, mental relaxation and so on. It is said both the metabolism and immune system are stimulated as well as the heart and blood pressure.

Not only can you combine a bespoke Laconium with other spa rooms, it is actually part of the ritual dating back to Roman times. A combination of hot and cold rooms formed a more complete Hammam spa treatment ritual. Contemporary spas whether home or commercial often combine a number of thermal rooms along with sauna, steam shower and so on.
