For these purposes fit every sort of wood.Natural material has many advantages: environmental friendliness, ease of handling, great views.But as the tree accumulates moisture and are not always resistant to sudden changes in temperature, you can not use all kinds of material for the construction of the structure.Otherwise, the door is deformed, twisted or rassohnetsya.

for construction of doors is recommended to use oak, birch, aspen, exotic woods.Traditional and affordable pine can be used for the manufacture of doors, but it is best used for the input structure, and not for steam and washing.

Glass

glass doors are widely used in Turkish and other baths.This is no accident.Glass is perfectly resistant to high temperatures, humidity, the panels are easy to care for.That is why the glass door to the steam room and washing - a good option.The only drawback of these structures - a high price, as do the glass security door yourself pretty hard.

Metal

This material is durable and long-lasting.But to use the metal door to the steam room or washing distinction is not accepted.Most often they are installed in an input design.

Selecting dimensions door

In the old door to the bath was always much less than the usual standard design for modern man.The small size allows to reduce heat loss when entering and exiting the building.For old Russian baths, warmed only with moss, the heat preservation was important.

modern baths, built by all the rules with innovative insulation, have low heat losses.Therefore, the bath can be installed on a normal size front door, which you can enter the full height without bending.

Standard door dimensions - 2000 mm by 800 mm.Such dimensions will have the door leaf.

Making leaf

Step 1. decking is required to cut out the length.Overall height 2000 mm door.This amount includes not only the length of the board, but also harness the web.Strapping beam used having a width of 30 mm.Bruce is attached around the perimeter of the canvas.Therefore it is necessary to carry out a simple calculation: 2000 mm - 60 mm = 1940 mm.Is cut to such a length of the board.

Step 2. Calculating the number of boards in the web.The width of the fabric together with strapping 800 mm, without trim - 740 mm.Since the base width of the decking is 200 mm, it is necessary to cut a board along with the help of jigsaw.

Step 3. From the first plank is cut protruding spike.This can be done with the help of the planer.The end is supposed to be smooth, without indentations and deformations.

Step 4. the cut to the desired size of the board are collected into a single fabric.This control check.

Step 5. beam for binding fabric is cut into 2 to 2000 mm length and 2 mm in length by 740.

Step 6. gluing grooved boards.For these purposes need clamp and white glue.The adhesive filled recesses blanks.Boards are collected in a single fabric and the corners fastened clamps.During assembly, you can use a wooden mallet to board denser got into the groove.It is advisable to place a cloth on the bench, recreating the effect of the press for a better gluing boards.To dry the canvas should a few days.

Step 7. leaf to be processed a plane.Putting large do not need to eat, enough to treat the surface of boards slightly so that they are smooth and free of splinters or kososloya.

Step 8. Rail web.Bruce, the cut into fragments, is fastened to the ends of the fabric on the screws.You can fasten the workpiece overlap or use the connection stud on the corners of the canvas.screws length must be greater than the width of the timber.It is desirable to accessories 2-3 cm was immersed in the web board.

Step 9. mount transverse strips to enhance the rigidity of the structure.If the front door, the strap is required to attach on the outer side.Later the insulation will be placed between them.

If the doors, the only two bars, bolted at the same distance from the top and bottom of the door.

Step 10. mount door hinges and handles.If the door is located inside the building, it is not recommended to use metal handles.The steam rises high temperature during bath procedure.The metal is heated and the handle can cause burns.It is best to use wooden fittings, which is absolutely safe for use and is made in the same style with the door leaf.

Step 11. Finishing fabric.For these purposes, can be covered by a transparent composition tree deep impregnation.It is important that the composition was environmentally friendly, does not emit harmful substances when heated and protected from rotting material.

Installing doors

When installing the door frame is important to follow the geometry of the structure.In case of skew or tilt uprights, the door will be opened and closed with an interference fit.

For racks door frame beams used, the width of which is 11 cm thick -. 6 cm Width rack door frame should be greater than the width of the web to 6-7 cm in body timber must be drunk slot in which to enter the door leaf..The gap between the door and the frame should be a few millimeters, since the tree has the ability to expand with strong humidity.

The design of the front door that opens outward, the groove is to be drunk from the outside.This will minimize drafts and heat loss.If for some reason the groove is too large, you can use silicone seals, stuffed them around the perimeter of the door frame.

box fastened to the doorway with long anchors.The openings between the wall and a box sealed with foam construction and close frames.

After fabrication of the box you can start hanging the door leaf.it is recommended to use reinforced curtains for dimensional and heavy structures, at least 3 pcs.Two curtains are located at the top of the door leaf, the bottom one.To the door was not removed, a veil attached in the reverse direction, prisverlivaya accessories on weight.

Step 2. For topcoat doors can be used leatherette.This material is not breathable, not wet, looks good.Leatherette raskraivajut the desired size (2000 mm by 800 mm + margin of 60 mm on each side).

Step 3. With tack leatherette nailed to the canvas.Material can be attached to the stiffening ribs, which are located around the door perimeter.To the door surface looked more volume on top of the insulation can be placed a layer of batting.
