Element
Contrast
Complete environments combining heat and cold into one integrated recovery experience.
Contrast is where Rime Forge begins. Heat and cold placed together, in one considered space, designed as a single environment.
A contrast environment pairs a heat or steam source with cold immersion, plus the connective space between them: transition flooring, drainage, seating and light.
Planning contrast as one system, rather than two purchases, is what separates a premium installation from equipment placed in a room.
Rime Forge is currently establishing supplier relationships to assemble complete contrast configurations for residential and commercial projects.
Planning
What to consider.
Circulation
The path between hot and cold should be short, safe underfoot and drainable.
Combined loads
Heat, steam and chiller equipment together can exceed available electrical capacity. Confirm the total early.
Ventilation & moisture
A room hosting both extremes needs a deliberate ventilation strategy to protect finishes and equipment.
Sequencing
Layout should support how the space is actually used — heat, cold, rest — without crossing paths or awkward transitions.
Where it fits
Typical applications.
- Dedicated home recovery rooms
- Boutique recovery and contrast studios
- Hotel and resort wellness floors
- Team and performance facilities
