Sauna Tables: Selection Criteria

Bath is a place where the concepts of good and pleasant rest are perfectly combined. In this institution, people relax body and soul, strengthen the immune system, relax, get rid of unpleasant memories, thoughts and emotions, and spend time with good sense.

For a full and high-quality rest in the bath, you need a solid and reliable furniture that will give comfort and decorate the room. Wooden tables for the bath - a great option for interior design, the selection criteria which is important to know before you buy.

Not a single bath, especially a Russian one, can exist without a table. This is an important element of communication, through which you can satiate the body not only with food, but also pleasant conversations in the company of loved ones. Wooden tables are often installed in the waiting room, with chairs, stools or benches of the same material.

Raw materials used for the manufacture of furniture for a bath should meet the following requirements:

• do not change their characteristics under the influence of high levels of humidity and temperature;
• be natural and eco-friendly;
• durable and hardy;
• attractive;
• easy to handle.

All these criteria are met by wooden tables made of natural material - solid wood. In the process of production, products are carefully processed with special equipment and means protecting timber from the effects of various external factors.

The choice of a model of a tree table for a steam room is not limited only to the imagination of the owner of the establishment. The size of the room also matters. If you make a purchase of a finished product or develop a project of your own, you must first determine the size of the legs and table top, as well as their shape.

Legs are:

• Made in the shape of the letter X. This is the most convenient option for folding tables and small items;
• With jumper rail. A popular and reliable model of tables with four legs. The size and shape of the table top may be different;
• In single quantity. These tables resemble a mushroom. This is a combination of one leg with a round top. On small tables can accommodate 2-3 people, no more.

The size of the tabletop is determined by the number of legs and the number of persons who can gather for such a product.

The configuration may be different:

• round - ideal for small tables;
• oval - folding table of this shape looks quite interesting;
• rectangular - a standard model of the table for a bath, a good option that will last for many years.

Tables for a bath belong to this type of furniture that cannot be installed anywhere. Most often, their habitat becomes a rest room, that is, a relatively “cool” room with a moderate degree of humidity.

Taking into account these nuances materials for the manufacture of furniture for the bath should comply with the following characteristics:

• safety (under the influence of high temperatures, the material should not release toxic substances to people);
• attractiveness (no defects from inside and outside of the product should be visualized);
• low thermal conductivity (material resistance to high temperatures);
• no resin in the composition;
• unpretentiousness in operation;
• resistance to high humidity.

All these parameters correspond to natural wood, so only this raw material can be used to create furniture for the bath.

When choosing wooden tables, you need to remember that wood is of different types, therefore it reacts differently to temperature and humidity jumps. Manufacturers often design tables of lime, aspen, poplar.

• Linden. The main quality is simplicity and a kind of softness in processing. The finished canvas for a long time retains its original appearance, has an attractive pink shade, a pleasant smell of essential oils, which is manifested when the wood is heated.

• Pine. It has a resinous structure that gives the finished product strength and durability, endurance to the difficult internal conditions in the bath rooms. Solid pine is easy to process, the cut is emitted in a uniform shade, does not rot for a long time, especially if treated with a special agent.The only drawback is the large amount of resin released when heated. Because of this property, it is impossible to install pine furniture in the steam room - there is a high probability of getting burns.

• Cedar. Unlike pine, it does not have a high resin content. Wood has a dense structure. The material responds well to processing.

• The Red tree. This breed is extremely rare, belongs to the wood elite, and therefore the cost of mahogany products is high. According to the characteristics of the breed of mahogany surpass many varieties. The only caveat, setting tables near a steam room is not worth it, outgoing steam can spoil the look of the product.

• Poplar and aspen. They are characterized by high moisture resistance, pleasant natural shades, are easy to process, do not crack with time. However, there is a significant drawback: the furniture of these breeds is not as long as we would like. Therefore, tables made of poplar and aspen - not the best option for a bath. Of these, you can make auxiliary devices: pots, tubs and other parts, indispensable in the steam room.

All of the above rocks, except pine, do not emit tar, which means they cannot leave a burn on human skin, they are easy to clean and dry very quickly.The knots are almost absent, good density, in processing are quite simple. The main advantage of natural wood is its therapeutic effect on the human body. AT
