Bath has an amazing healing effect. In this case, the important role is played by the material that is used for its interior decoration. Ideal in this regard is a wood lining due to its naturalness, the ability to "breathe" and favorably affect the human body.
The lining is considered a popular solution when finishing the bath, as it is made from high-quality wood, well dried and treated in a special way. For the inner covering steam room fits exclusively wooden lining. But in the rest of the premises - a pre-banker, washing, a rest room - you can use its other types. The boards are universal, because they are suitable for finishing the floor, ceiling and walls. The surface is perfectly even smooth and smooth, which does not pass outside sounds, perfectly carrying heat, as well as high humidity, if it is impregnated with a protective composition. Under the lining successfully hid various communications and surface irregularities. In addition, such a casing looks attractive and is considered an ideal solution for the bath "under the log". Features of the choice of lining for a bath:- Linden. Such material is priority, and its ancestors also appreciated its quality. The tree does not react to the effect of water and steam, does not change its structure and color.
- Aspen. It is considered a good analogue of the linden, as such lining is indifferent to moisture and heat, but has a more democratic price. However, it is necessary to remember about the lack of this breed: it is possible to spread inside the wood hidden rot.
- Cedar. The material is expensive, but with this and very high quality. Due to the trim from the cedar, the air in the pair is filled with resinous substances, without selection to the surface of the resin, and the effect of aromatherapy is created. In addition, it is less heated than others. Be careful: at the moment there are many fakes of cedar lining!
- Pine. The material is cheap due to the ability of wood to be isolated under the influence of steam and heat resinous substances. Therefore, it is practically not used for the steam room, but acts as an excellent solution for the pre-banker and relaxation rooms.
Remember that the lining for the inner finish of the bath should not contain bitch and other vices, because such a structure contributes to the rapid heating of the surface, which may cause a burn.
For the inner trim of the bathhouse with the clapboard, so that the next toolkit is at hand:- stapler with brackets;
- electrolovik;
- perforator;
- drill with nozzles;
- suspensions;
- measuring tool - plumb, construction level, mounting plumb;
- hammer;
- screws 6 cm, wood screws - 3.5 and 7.5 cm, 2 cm cloves;
- triangle.
In addition to the lining itself, prepare the heat-insulating material - Minvatu, the timber 4 by 5 cm, the waterproofing material and vaporizolation, the PVC film has perfectly proven itself. Since wood is sensitive to moisture drops, it should be seen in the room and adapt to the microclimate of 1-2 days.
The bath must keep warm well, so it is necessary to achieve the thermos effect using the inside. To do this, at the first stage, we make a crate under the insulation:- Use bars that have a thickness more thermal insulation material.
- Fasten the crate in the direction perpendicular to the installation of the lining, sticking to step 50-60 cm.
- In areas with irregularities, put the strip cutters under the bars, made from the same wood.
- When mounting the frame to the walls built from brick, stone or concrete blocks, screws and plastic dowels are used. Galvanized screws are suitable for the wooden surface.
- Protect your body, hands, eyes with appropriate products to exclude watts.
- Place the insulation mats in the intervals formed by the crate. They have from the bottom up, pressing the good one top mat to the bottom.
- Watch that no gaps and cracks are formed, since they form cold bridges through which heat will go.
- If necessary, cut the upper mats with a knife.
- If a log house was used in the construction of a bath, then it should be borne in mind that it is able to give precipitate. Therefore, it is better to carry out the lining of the clapboard after that, namely, after 1.5-2 years, to eliminate the deformation of the material.
- Constructive elements that are made of wood should be treated with a protective antiseptic.
- First, the horizontal rails should be attached over vapor barrier to which the material will be fixed. We set them in a step of 60 cm, controlling the horizontality using the level.
- Make sure the lining has adapted to the microclimate installed in the bath, and lacked at least 24 hours there. Work is starting from the most hard-to-reach angle.
- Place the first board so that its spike is in the corner of the wall, and the groove looked at you, in the vertical direction. Remember that it is a guideline for all fixed boards of this series.
- A plank is recorded to a horizontal rail with the help of screws so that their caps are completely closed after a decorative corner is installed. Kleimers need to be started in the protruding edge of the groove. Speak them to the slats.
- Each next board, boil the luggage to the grooves, which is already fixed. To protect it from damage, adjust it with China and secure Kleimer Raiks.
- It is possible that the last chalkboard will have to be cut to fit into width. Fasten it similarly to the first.
- Attach the rest of the material and plinths to the trim. In addition, all angles need to close decorative corners using finish nails that have a copper coating. Thanks to a small hat, such a fastener is immeasured for the eyes.
- To provide ventilation in space under the trimming, and protect the material from water, there should be a gap, millimeters 10 between the lower end of the lining and the floor.
- When the bath is trim, remember that in the car wash and the wage, the lining should be treated in a special way before mounting. But it is categorically impossible to paint and cover with varnish. To protect it from mold, black spots and attacks of insects use a colorless antifungal composition made on a water basis. Pre-lining the lining is eaten by sandpaper to remove all roughness, so impregnation will fall asleep.
And finally: remember the fire safety, to do this, leave the gap between the chimney and the flammable material, which should be at least 25 cm.
