It is very convenient if a private sauna or bathhouse is equipped in a quiet country house, where you can relax and tear, forgetting about everyday problems, while paying attention to health. Disposing toxins, normalization of sleep, improving the condition of the skin - this is not a complete list of effects that the bathhouse provides.
Content
How is the bathhouse different from the rest of the furniture?
- It is operated in conditions of high humidity and high temperatures.
- Such furniture is in direct contact with human skin.
These factors dictate special requirements for materials used to make furniture for a bath.
Requirements for material for the manufacture of furniture for bathhouse
- Uniform texture (without cracks, pores, chips, etc.).
- Environmental friendliness.
- Increased density.
- Low thermal conductivity.
- The ease of processing (cutting, cutting, grinding, etc.).
- Reduced content of resins (their presence makes it difficult to process parts).
What is the process of wood for the production of furniture for the bath?
- polymer drugs;
- antiseptics.
Important!
- Wood for bath accessories is not opened with varnish. Otherwise, when heated in conditions of high humidity, toxic evaporations are distinguished, harmful to the human body.
- All details and the surface as a whole should be well polished to avoid scratches and cuts of the skin in contact with wood.
Types of wood are most popular in the manufacture of furniture for a bath room
- Poplar.
- Abashi.
- Aspen.
- Linden.
Abashi is the wood of an exotic dead African tree. Abashi's furniture for a bath of wood has all the necessary properties: it does not burn the skin, does not rot, does not deteriorate and does not darken. The only "minus" of such wood is its price. This variety refers to the elite and not everyone can afford such an expensive acquisition. Therefore, the usual master “all hands”, who decided to make furniture for the rest room of his bath, will have to be content with less exotic raw materials and choose one of the other three varieties of wood. They also have established themselves well in the production of furniture for the bath (including with their own hands). The main properties of these wood species are strength, low thermal conductivity and moisture resistance. A pine, which is not suitable for a steam room (releases resin), can be used to produce furniture in a dressing room with a cooler microclimate.
What furniture is needed for the bath?
Now let's decide which items are usually included in a bath set of furniture. An example of a standard set of furniture for a bath can be seen in the photo:
Banctura items
- Shop.
- Shelves.
- Table.
- Shoe shelf.
- The hanger for clothes.
- Bath shelves.
- Font.
- Pelvis and ears.
Making furniture for a bath with your own hands
Shop
What needs to be prepared?
- wooden bars 5x7x40 cm (6 pcs);
- boards 2.5 cm thick 90 cm long (14 pcs.);
- screwdriver;
- self -tapping screws;
- hammer and nails;
- glue (for wood, resistant to thermal differences).
Production instructions
- From the beams, make P-shaped racks (2 pcs), connecting the bars with each other with glue and screws.
- Swat 12 boards on the racks, placing them with an edge and retreating between them 1 cm.
- Combine the racks with the remaining boards, giving them more stability.
Table
The table for the bath is not much different from the standard table, except that the material from which it is made.
The drawings of tables and other furniture for the bath can easily be found on the expanses of the world web, and having certain skills, just make them. If the experience of such work is small, then limit yourself to the independent production of shops (already saving!). And complex designs can be bought. Although, experience comes in the process. Maybe everything will be so wonderful for you that you will risk making the whole headset. But still start with elements of furniture easier ...
Shoe shelf
What needs to be prepared?
- wooden pallet;
- screwdriver;
- self -tapping screws.
Production instructions
- Disassemble the pallet into the components (get long flat boards and bars).
- From bars and boards, collect a three -level shelf, fastening them with self -tapping screws.
Clothing hanger
What needs to be prepared?
- a board of the desired length;
- pencil for marking;
- loops for hanging a hanger on the wall (2-3 pcs);
- "Slingshots" of simple branches of approximately the same size;
- screwdrivers and screws.
Production instructions
- On the back of the board, fasten the loops.
- On the front side, mark the position of the "hook-rods".
- Scroll the branches to the board in places of markings.
- Burn the hanger on nails (or other fasteners) in advance into the wall.
Bath shelves
The standard size of the classic shelf: 70x200 cm. They should not be very high, so that it is convenient to sit on them without resting their heads on the ceiling.
The principle of manufacture is approximately the same as for the shop. Only for the shell is a frame that is attached to the wall. At this stage, you can use metal mounts. On top of the frame, boards with gaps of about 1 cm are packed so that the water flows freely and free air circulation ensures rapid drying of the surfaces. For attaching boards in contact with an open body, it is better to use wooden nails.
Font
Font is a reduced alternative to the pool, a kind of bowl. Its diameter is most often 150 cm. It can be a barrel installed on the floor or earth, or a container dug into the ground, which is much more difficult to perform. By the way, it is much easier to install a ready -made plastic font. But wooden, of course, is more pleasant and environmentally friendly.
Pelvis and ears
These items are easier to buy ready -made. However, if there is experience of such work, they can be made of wood complete with other parts of the bath set.
Important!
All metal compounds (nails, screws, etc.) should be deeply drowned in wood, in order to avoid skin burns.
Try and dare! And your country house will replenish your own bath with exclusive furniture, which is not ashamed to boast of the guests.
