It is no secret that a Russian bath is a whole storehouse of beneficial substances and pleasant sensations. If you steam in the bath 1-2 times a week, you can protect yourself not only from colds, osteochondrosis, genitourinary diseases, but also from depression. In order for the bath to bring only benefit, without having a negative effect on the body, it is necessary to arrange it correctly, using only natural and high -quality materials.
Of course, for the finish, the bathhouse is in no case with a stone, metal or tile, because under the influence of temperatures they will heat up, and you can burn about them. Since ancient times, the most popular material for the decoration of the bath has become a tree.
And now we cannot imagine a real steam room without a wooden shop, wooden walls, ceiling and floor.
Nowadays for decorating wall walls, a lining is used. The only thing you need to know when choosing it is that not all wood is suitable for the bathhouse. It is worth considering the moisture resistance of the material, its heat resistance, the presence of resin, the ability to highlight any smells, durability, etc. Factors.
So, it is worth noting right away that coniferous woods of wood are categorically not suitable for finishing the steam room. That is, a lining of pine or spruce in this case will not work. Under the influence of high temperature, such wood emits resins that you can get burned, in addition, poisoning can be obtained from the smell of these resins. Wagon of coniferous breeds is not moisture -resistant, and therefore under the constant effect of moisture, and even more so when the temperature drops, it will darken very quickly and crack.
Wall decoration
One of the most suitable and economically profitable types of wood for finishing walls of steam room is linden. She has a beautiful light yellow color, which does not darken over time. Linden is resistant to moisture, and therefore will not swell and refer (as it happens with coniferous rocks). Cracks and schisms do not appear on such wood. Linden withstands temperature changes in the range from -50 to +50 degrees, while it does not overheat.
This is very important, because in the bath you will have to sit directly on the lining, and if the material is incorrectly selected, the ability to get burns is quite high. In addition, one of the important advantages of a linden lining is that under the influence of high temperatures it does not secrete any harmful substances, does not harm human health. On the contrary, it has a very pleasant delicate smell.
Aspen’s lining
For decoration of the wall walls, aspen lining is also suitable. Osina wood is like a linden, but it is less thermal -resistant. Aspen is less durable because it is much softer and lighter than linden. At the same time, it has a beautiful milk, almost white color, does not emit harmful substances.
A good option for decorating a bath is cedar wood. The cedar lining is quite expensive, but all its positive qualities justify the price. Firstly, cedar wood has a very rich, rich, bright red-brown color.
Secondly, it is not subject to decay, easily tolerates temperature changes, moisture resistance. And finally, thirdly, the cedar is very useful for the human body. It distinguishes special aromas that are used to treat patients with asthma.
So, on what lining the choice will fall when finishing the steam room will depend on whether the bathhouse will be useful and how long it will last the owners.
