sauna

It is not enough to build a sauna, sew it with a lining and install an oven. For a comfortable stay, you need to take care of furniture. Not sitting on the floor to steam? For someone who built himself a bath from scratch, making furniture for her will be quite possible.
What should be included in the situation of the bath? At a minimum:

  • shelves or benches for steam room,
  • hanger and shelf for dressing room,
  • table and chairs or benches for relaxation area.

This set can be completed with a font, closets for clothes and other comfort elements.

The right wood

Choosing the wood species from which the bathroom furniture will be made, follow the same rules as when choosing a wall lining, as I wrote here. Wood should be strong, but malleable, with low thermal conductivity( that is, not too hot), resistant to the action of constant moisture. On the material there should be no cracks, knots chipped, which from high humidity and temperature drop will quickly increase and cause damage to the whole product.

For a steam room, it's best to stay on a linden or aspen. In an ideal, it is necessary to choose that wood with which walls are finished, so the situation of a premise will look more harmoniously. Coniferous wood for a steam room will not work, as with their strong heating, resins are released, which can lead to a deterioration in the well-being of those who are soaring.

Cheaper pine or spruce can be used for table, benches and hangers in the recreation room and dressing room.

Tools and materials

For the production of furniture, the whole set of joiner tools is useful:

  • a Bulgarian with a circular saw and a wood polishing attachment,
  • hacksaw or saw,
  • plane,
  • hammer and mallet,
  • pliers,
  • screwdriver or screwdriver,
  • tape measure and level.
  • In addition, you need to stock up the nails and wood screws.

For furniture you need beams size 50 * 60 mm and boards from selected wood. Their number depends on the model of future furniture and its dimensions. Before assembly, the beam and boards are sawn to the workpieces according to the drawings, adjusted to the dimensions and are shaved, if necessary. Their edges are milled, and the details are sanded.

Shelves for a pair of

Shelves in a steam room can have 1 or more tiers. The advantage of multi-tiered is that the temperature under the ceiling is higher and, moving from level to level, you can select the conditions to taste. Usually the shelves are made for the entire length of one or two walls. The width should be 60-90 cm, so that people of any composition can comfortably settle on it. The distance between the tiers is 40-50 cm. The upper shelf should be located at such a height from the ceiling so that it can be seated.

shelves

The shelves consist of a frame and a deck, which can be stationary or removable. Removable shelves are easy to clean and clean the space underneath. The frame is assembled from a beam and racks, fastening them together with self-tapping screws. The longest rear posts in a strictly vertical position are fixed to the wall, along which the shelf will be located. The next row of racks is placed 50 centimeters in front of them, at the bottom both racks should be fixed in a common base, and in the middle they should be connected by a bridge from racks or narrow boards. Side racks should resemble the letter "P" with a jumper.

The flooring is made of boards or thin beams, with gaps between them of 1 cm, so that water does not accumulate on the surface. Between each other, the boards are connected by a bar from the back side, which is attached to the frame. The edges of the floorboards should be rounded, and the boards themselves are very carefully sanded, since wet and steamed skin is easily injured.

Stalls and benches

In the steam room, you can place a couple of benches or benches, on which you can lay down bath accessories or sit down. They are collected similarly to shelves, only they do not attach to the wall. The straps for the bench seat can be taken thinner than for the shelf. They are also well polished and round corners.

And the seats of the bench, and the shelf, it is better to fasten not with nails or self-tapping screws, but with nagels of the same wood. They can not be burned, unlike metal fasteners.

For more durability, the deck and seat can be attached from the inside to the metal corners. Furniture for the steam room is not varnished, it can be treated with antiseptic and stain to give the desired color.

Furniture for the dressing room and recreation area

In the waiting room you need a hanger and shelves for things. The shelves should be made of a well-planed board with a thickness of 40-50 mm, fixed with self-tapping screws with the help of strong underfloor. For the hanger the same board is fixed flat on the wall, and hooks are fastened to it. Furniture in the dressing room can be covered with varnish. It is better to choose a yacht, because the humidity here is still high.
