It is not difficult to buy a log cabin for a bathhouse, it is more difficult to choose material for interior decoration. There are subtleties on which it depends whether the bathhouse will be truly hot and comfortable.
Basically, a tree is used for the construction and interior decoration of the bath, but for surfaces constantly contacting water, you need tiles for a bath that can withstand heating and temperature changes.
In the paired walls are mainly sheathed with lining, well -dried, polished, low resin. Buying a lining is not a problem, but you need to consider which tree it is made of. The baths have long been sheathed with aspen – this is a strong, light, moisture -resistant material, it costs inexpensively. But Osina is getting dark over time, that many do not like. Also very good linden. It always remains fragrant, does not darken, does not emit resins, with drying it acquires high strength. In addition, linden has a good heat capacity: when heated, it does not burn. They also use alder, in terms of properties it is similar to linden, but somewhat more expensive. If there is no difficulty in finances, then you can choose a red cedar, which is known for its healing properties, a beautiful pinkish tint and a unique smell. Now African palm tree is gaining popularity – Abash, it has low thermal conductivity, but it is very exotic and expensive. The larch is best suited to the washing – the tree is heavy, durable, tarry, just for such a wet and less hot room.
Many prefer to make floors in the bathhouse out of oak. This tree has a small drawback: when getting wet, it becomes extremely slippery. A good option is still the same larch, thanks to resinousness, it is not succumbing to decay. The floor can also be made of ceramic tiles, but it should be borne in mind that it will be colder. In order not to walk on the cool floor and not slip, you need to put a wooden grill on the floor.
