Bespoke Tepidarium spa

Enjoy wellness the Roman way with a custom designed tiled Tepidarium warm room created for home or commercial environments

Ancient wellness made modern with our bespoke Tepidarium

Much like its cousins the Laconium and Caldarium, the Tepidarium is a thermal room that dates back to Roman times. On its own it is a transitional wellness room comfortably bridging hot and cold. When experienced as part of a suite of thermal rooms, the Tepidarium completes the ancient ritual of Hammam spa.

Roman Tepidarium (tepidus) were decorated with stucco plaster reliefs and heated by a hypocaust (slave driven) under floor heating system. A modern bespoke Tepidarium built by Leisurequip uses similar principles but uses bisazza tiles and thermostatically controlled under floor heating for the same effect.

Frequently asked questions

A Tepidarium is a warm, dry thermal room that is usually part of a Roman bath complex. The Tepidarium was typically heated using under floor heating. Most notably, modern installations are now thermostatically controlled and can have heated loungers.

Inside the room it’s close to body temperature and the interior is usually constructed from bisazza tiling. A bespoke tiled Tepidarium installation can also be further enhanced with chromatography mood lighting.

You’ll most find a Tepidarium as part of a suite of thermal rooms in a commercial spa or wellness retreat. That said, if you have a larger basement spa in your home you should have enough room. A bespoke Tepidarium is an ideal setting for transitioning from a hot sauna or steam room and can be installed in a similar space.
