We make furniture for a bath with your own hands. Recommendations, drawings and schemes of assembly

Furniture for a bath differs from any other not only in its purpose, but also in the materials used.

Bath needs a certain set of furniture, which should include a table, shelves, wooden benches. When choosing furniture for a bath should take into account its specific features, such as a high degree of humidity. The heat and moisture inherent in the bath, "make" special requirements for the choice of material for furniture:

• good moisture tolerance;
• the ability of furniture to withstand high temperatures;
• low heat conductivity;
• The material must not release toxic compounds hazardous to health.

The most suitable materials for furniture in the bath

Based on the above requirements, the most suitable material for a bath is a tree.

• Conifer.

Pine and spruce will not work, since their wood is resinous, and the resin softens with increasing temperature and heating. Hot tar can cause burns as well as stain the body. There is an option when resin is removed from a pine tree, but as a result of this process there is a significant increase in the cost of wood material. Independent removal of the resin is a long and rather difficult process, so it would be more appropriate to choose wooden furniture made of hardwood trees in the bath.

If you still really want and allow money, then the ideal option for bath furniture is a luxurious interior of cedar. Cedar wood resin is not rich, the texture is the most suitable, but the cost is quite high. The advantages of bath furniture from Canadian cedar include the provision of a significant healing effect on the body by extracting essential oils from wood as a result of its heating. Such oils perfectly disinfect, deodorize and have a beneficial effect on the skin and respiratory system.

Canadian cedar furniture has a beautiful texture, high strength, a very pleasant aroma and a beneficial effect on the human body.

• Hardwoods.

With all the variety of deciduous species, preference as material for furniture should be given to aspen and linden. These breeds have a wood of a pleasant light shade, excellently tolerating changes in temperature and humidity, while not losing the original shape. In addition, linden has a pleasant smell and is easily processed due to its softness. Among the disadvantages of linden are the susceptibility of infection with fungus and rot, which are controlled by chemical compounds that are very undesirable in the steam room.

Linden furniture has a pleasant aroma, has a healing effect, is easy to process and does not heat up.

At first, the wood of an aspen is also light, but after some time it begins to darken. Aspen used to be used to make the top of wells, as it is well preserved at high humidity and does not rot.Of the minuses - abrasion of wood fibers occurs, leading to the appearance of dents and scuffs. The cost of aspen lumber is very low.

Aspen furniture is easily processed and highly moisture resistant.

• Exotic breeds.

As an exotic version of the material, you can use the abashi tree, which grows in Africa. Its color shade changes as the temperature rises around: from milky or light yellow to dark brown. At the hottest temperatures in the steam room, this tree does not heat up above body temperature, so there will be no burn from it. The downside is that this material is not cheap.

Furniture made of Abasha - ideal for a steam room, does not heat up and does not accumulate moisture.

If we talk about wood species for the rest of the premises, then for washing you need rocks that respond well to moisture, for locker rooms and rest rooms - any.

What items should consist of a set of bath furniture

You need to focus on individual tastes and material capabilities, but there is a certain standard minimum.

• In the steam room bath should be made shelves. They can have various shapes and sizes: single-stage or have several steps; located along the walls of the bath or be in the form of "G", "P". Often, wooden head restraints and stands for legs are placed in the steam room. Due to the fact that the place where the soar is small, it does not need to be cluttered with unnecessary objects, since they will serve as an obstacle to the movement of air. For convenience, you can add a small shop to accommodate basins and buckets and attach hooks.
