make furniture for sauna and bath with his own hands will be quite difficult if you do not have the appropriate skills, but the end result is worth it.What tools should be used in the assembly process?

Required tool

to work in the first place need:

• Bulgarian with a circular saw,
• hacksaw or the wood saw,
• plane,
• for fixing and connecting elements are needed screws and nails.

important to remember that metal parts get very hot during the procedure, for this reason, even a simple screw must be securely hidden flush (recessed into the timber), to avoid the possibility of burns.Roulette and building level will help to comply with the desired angle during assembly designs.As can be seen from the above, a special tool is required - all the above are sold at retail of building materials.

Assembling of furniture for the bath: Stages

When assembling the furniture necessary to begin with the most labor-intensive products: with benches or shelves.
Usually shops if steam room is a large room, located in several levels.In fact, they are often then referred to as shelves and, in the method of fixing the difference: the shelves are fixed to a wall, a bench - to each other.If the room is small, it is quite a wide bench, which must be fenced from the stove.

general principle of assembly and benches, and shelves quite simple: wooden boards stacked with a gap of 1 cm to allow unimpeded water flow.Products should have a length of one of the walls, the width of at least 60 centimeters.The best is 90, since such a shop will be able to accommodate people of any build.If the structure consists of several tiers, the distance between them should be 50 cm. The shelves are preferably removable to build to be able to quickly remove and wash them if necessary.To this end, the frame is made of beams and cross rails, which will be attached after the foundation.
Stalls are going the same way, the only difference is the thickness of the seat slats.Assemble furniture for the sauna should not be varnished, stained only when necessary, to give it the desired color and extra protection from high temperatures.

Shelves for clothes hangers for clothes and going easy enough.On the wall mounted flat planed board in length of 50 cm, on which are mounted hooks (for shelf) or the other boards.
This set of furniture - a necessary minimum, but if you allow the size of the bath and there is a desire, it is worth thinking about how to install fonts.In fact, it is a large tub, a cylindrical container made of wooden planks, with a diameter of 150 cm. Who watched the movie "Peculiarities of the National Hunt in the winter," just remember the episode about "furako".This Japanese equivalent is a baptismal font and the internal device is no different.Hot has almost the same height as the diameter, but must not necessarily have a completely circular shape.At the present moment a lot of manufacturers offer ready-made solutions for the bath, for which the price starts from 450 USD.It is pleasant enough to dip after visiting the sauna.Moreover, often in the cool water in the font, or add special liqueur essences that can positively affect the health and well-being.

methods finishing old furniture

above were considered ways to make new furniture.But sometimes enough to bring to mind the old.There are the following finishes:

• rustic style (also known as a country),
• bleaching furniture,
• giving the furniture a vintage style (antique).

Furniture for bath, photos of which are shown below, will demonstrate the sophistication of this kind of improvement steam.

Even a simple and unprepossessing-looking wooden furniture is easy to turn into a whole artistic canvas, on which it is possible to implement any plans.Country Style is good that to give furniture ennobled type requires no special effort.So, you must:

• sanded wood with a metal mesh or brush.Movement is carried out along the fibers, so as not to leave visible transverse stripes on the material,
• obtained chips are removed with a cloth or the soft brush,
• to emphasize the wood relief, after sanding material should be covered with a layer of translucent blue, which is applied with a conventional brush or roller,
• further wood varnish and the surface is ready.

Note that restored the furniture with lacquer is used only in the dressing room or on the veranda.In the steam room itself no lacquer should not be.

for summer bath is the most optimal choice of this method of restoration, giving the furniture a new species by whitewashed.In essence, this process is an alternation of brushes and the use of metal coatings of the glaze.Surface oshkurivayut brush, remove dust, and then the furniture is covered with a layer of white glaze.After the layer dries, the wood on again pass a wire brush.Then repeat the glaze coating.

By using this method, the furniture easily and quickly becomes expensive bleached appearance, and the idea itself is quite simple and does not take much time for implementation.

Vintage style popular at the moment, not only in clothing, but first and foremost, in the furniture.Since this method is the most costly, both in time and in force - similar to the execution should be approached weighed all "pros" and "cons".If it was a positive decision, it is necessary to perform actions on the above procedure:

• should first make things "spoiled" appearance.How strange would not seem that idea, but this is the essence of vintage - show the subject has lived a long time, even if it is not.It is necessary to treat the surface of the restored model of a hammer and a knife for deep cuts and damaged areas.For the same purpose suit and the usual nail or screw.With the help of a hammer strike the surface, especially in places of rounding to give the furniture quite shabby look,
• then the tree is covered with stain and then layer must dry out,
• using fine- and coarse-grained sandpaper surface sanding is done to create the flight time,
• after timber is cleaned of chips and dust, and further processed by the blue,
• after that, after drying glaze, using a stiff brush violated the integrity of the upper layer to create the right image of aged wood,
• finishing stagework will be the application of the last layer of the glaze mixed with white spirit solvent in the proportion of two to one.

After these procedures acquire furniture antique appearance.It should be noted that the creation of such an effect without a corresponding experience is unlikely to succeed on the first try.Nevertheless, it is worth a try, because the end result is quite able to surpass all expectations.
