Bespoke Caldarium

Cleanse and rejuvenate yourself the ancient Roman way in a custom built Caldarium hot room designed and installed by experts

Bespoke Caldarium room for any requirement

Often used in combination with other thermal rooms such as a Laconium, a bespoke Caldarium is usually the hottest room in a Hammam spa. Leisurequip has extensive experience designing and building custom Caldarium spas for home and commercial use. This includes wellness retreats, spas and luxury hotels.

In times gone by the Caldarium was heated by hot air via a slave driven under floor heating system called a hypocaust. A Leisurequip designed Caldarium hot room uses a combination of under floor and tile heating and will be thermostatically controlled. This allows for much greater control of the surface temperature.

Frequently asked questions

Originally a hot room treatment with plunge bath, modern installations of a Caldarium have heated surfaces (usually a heated floor and tiles). They are driven by electric heating units or low pressure hot water (central heating) pipes within the curved benches, backrests and floor. The radiant heat of a Roman Caldarium treatment room stimulates circulation and regenerates the body’s natural energies.

You can indeed combine a Caldarium with a custom spa. In fact almost all of the Roman hot rooms we install are part of a larger spa complex such as a commercial Turkish Hammam or domestic basement spa.

Any custom built Caldarium is usually part of a larger wellness spa. You won’t often see this hot room installed individually in any spa setting. Consequently, when you see a Caldarium you’ll also see thermal rooms such a Laconium warm room, Tepidarium warm room and Frigidarium cold room.
