Why do you recommend to make the ceiling in the steam room not less than 2.5 metres?
A. When one pours some water onto the stones, fumes of steam immediately head up, and its thickness beneath the ceiling reaches a meter and more, and this means that in a low room the man’s head will be submitted into the heart of the steam layer, the man will feel discomfort. In Russian banya, a factor of primary importance is sufficient quantity of vapour, so the higher is the ceiling the more steam can be saved beneath it. One may then only pour the vapour with the help of birch bunch and enjoy.
