What you need to know to complete the finishing work in the bath

The bathhouse is a wonderful place that allows you to abandon all problems and relax. When the construction of the "cherished corner" is completed, there is very little left: finish the interior, and go! To the sea of ​​pleasure! But finishing work should be taken very seriously, so that in the future such unpleasant things as fumes, dampness and mold do not overshadow the celebration of soul and body.
The main process consists of the following important steps:
1 The correct selection of materials.
2 Insulation and decoration of the floor and ceiling.
3 Arrangement of the dressing room.
Selection of materials for wall cladding
In order to choose the right material for covering the walls of the steam room and the washing room, you need to familiarize yourself with its properties, otherwise, instead of pleasure, staying in the bathhouse will turn into discomfort.
For example, pine is completely unsuitable for this, since under the influence of high temperatures resin is released from pine wood, which can cause discomfort.
In most cases, the steam rooms and washing rooms are sheathed with linden and larch, respectively, ideally with a lining, which must be fixed to the crate made of timber prepared in advance.
A big plus in favor of the lining is the locking locks that allow you to hide the fasteners (nails and screws).
When decorating a steam room and a washing room, the use of flammable and toxic materials, such as fiberboard, chipboard, linoleum, etc., is strictly not recommended, but they can be excellent for equipping a dressing room.
Insulation and decoration of floor and ceiling
Flooring in the bathhouse is the beginning of the beginnings. All finishing work is done on a bottom-up principle!
It is recommended to raise the floor in the steam room by about 10 cm, this will help to better retain heat. For flooring, the larch edging board is most often used. It would be useful to perform thermal insulation in a steam room to create a seal. Mineral insulation is widely used here, which is necessarily covered with aluminum foil, in order to avoid the harmful effects of steam.
The most practical material for the floor in the washing and steam rooms is ceramic tile, as the tree will be destroyed due to constant humidity. But here there are drawbacks - it will be slippery and require rubber mats or wooden mats. The same materials are suitable for covering the ceiling as for walls (minimum amount of resins and toxins).
Arrangement of the dressing room
Here, the use of pine is very welcome and allows you to save. The walls of the dressing room do not heat up too much, and the pine finish will fill the room with a pleasant coniferous aroma. When heated, conifers emit volatile, which favorably affect human health, and health is the main priority in everything.
