    Basic construction material for a bath - a tree. And there is nothing to say about its interior decoration. Traditionally, the dressing room and the main part of the bathhouse, the steam room, are sheathed with wood. But comfortable and beautiful wood trim should be protected and preserved, especially in conditions of high humidity. For this, the wooden parts are impregnated, varnished, painted. Nowadays, it is not so easy to understand how to paint the steam room inside the bath. Have appeared modern materials, reliably protecting wooden structures and not harming the health of visitors to the bath.

    Criterias of choice

    With all its advantages, wood is susceptible to moisture. Over time, it dries up, darkens and begins to rot. Mold and microorganisms can develop on it. All this is true for ordinary external conditions. And in the steam room the conditions are extreme. Even in the dressing room there are no such effects on the walls and floor. The effect of sudden changes in temperature and humidity in the steam room accelerates the destruction of wood. When exposed to high temperatures, conventional protective coatings can release harmful substances.

    In addition, the steam room is not just a room in which a person is. He stays there in the nude, body contact with wooden surfaces. And on some it even lies. This means that for shelves and benches it is necessary to choose a tree protection that will not be unpleasant when touched.

    Most often, in the steam room, they strive to preserve the natural color of the tree, choosing for this species that look beautiful. But if you want to paint a part of the steam room, then you need to take this into account when choosing an impregnation. Not all impregnations are suitable for subsequent painting.

    It is clear that it will not be possible to find the same impregnation for the bath outside and inside. Even different parts of the steam room may require different protective equipment. Wood treatment in the steam room should be carried out with compositions adapted to its conditions. And the choice must be based on the following criteria:

      For which part of the steam room is the product intended

      Will it be a primary impregnation of wood, or a re-coating of a previously protected surface

      Method of applying a protective substance to wooden surface- brush, roller or spray

      Are there any plans for further painting of the impregnated wood

    Features of protection of different parts of the steam room

    Of course, you can soak the entire steam room and furniture in it with one composition. And then cover it with one varnish. Moreover, the tools currently being released are rarely limited to one protection function. They usually combine, for example, impermeability with antibacterial properties. But the conditions affecting different parts of the steam room are still somewhat different. Therefore, the processing requirements are also different.

    Ceiling

    This part of the steam room is perhaps the least demanding. It is exposed only to the thermal effects of steam. Water almost does not reach him. Therefore, it can be simply coated with a specialized bath varnish.

    On our website you can find contacts construction companies who offer the service of building a bath. You can communicate directly with representatives by visiting the Low-Rise Country exhibition of houses.

    Floor

    Unlike the ceiling, all the water that is used in the steam room ends up on the floor. Therefore, the anti-water protection for floorboards must be very good. In addition to antibacterial and anti-water impregnation, it is advisable to cover the floor with a protective layer of varnish. But not every varnish is suitable for the floor. The protective layer should not be slippery. To protect the floor, it is required condition... Of course, the soles of the feet should not even stick to the floor. Do not think that repeated coating of the floor with varnish increases its safety. The thick layer of varnish cracks and the water reaches the wood. In addition, through such a coating, the tree cannot "breathe", and still deteriorates.

    When building a bath, do not forget about the impregnation of the logs on which the floor boards are laid. This is certainly not interior baths, and there are no special protection requirements for them. But if water gets to them, then sooner or later the floor itself inside the bath will suffer, no matter how well it is protected.

    Walls

    Most of the impregnation for the bath inside is spent on protecting the lining, which is usually used to sheathe the walls. Therefore, you should not use impregnations and varnishes, which, when heated, are capable of emitting harsh-smelling substances. And do not cover with a protective layer that does not allow the tree to "breathe".

    Shelves and benches

    The shelves are the main part of the entire steam room, for which it, in fact, is being built. It should be comfortable, pleasant and safe to lie on it. Wood is a poor heat conductor, so even at high temperatures you won't burn yourself too much. Another thing is if it is covered with a protective film, which, when touched, can cause burns. Therefore, it is not recommended to use paints or varnishes for it. Better to apply a special bath impregnation. Often such impregnations are made on the basis of wax.

    The requirements for the safety and convenience of the surface of the shelves and benches are so high that there are sauna lovers who believe that the tree should be natural for them and should not be covered with anything at all. But this is still suitable for small jars, where a simple shelf can be replaced. And when real furniture masterpieces are being built, it is better to find a high-quality composition and ensure their durability.

    Protective compounds and their properties

    For the sake of order, it is necessary to mention such a remedy as drying oil, which used to cover all the insides in the bath. It is used now, but it is not worth using it in the steam room. It will be cheap, but cheerful. In terms of protective properties, this is yesterday, and the smell from it, with good heating, does not give pleasure.

    Water dispersion impregnation

    Manufactured on water based, therefore, they penetrate deeply into the structure of the wood. Resistant to high temperatures, do not contain active chemical components and do not emit any harmful compounds when heated. Modern water-based impregnations contain antibacterial components. They are produced both colorless and with the addition of dyes.

    The disadvantage is their fragility. Over time, under the influence of water, they are washed out of the wood, so the impregnation must be renewed every two years.

    Oil impregnations and varnishes

    They impregnate well and protect the wood from moisture, forming a film. But their inherent smell is a significant drawback. Therefore, they must be used with caution in the steam room. For external impregnation and for protecting the tree in the dressing room, they are quite suitable.

    Acrylic based varnishes

    Acrylic bath lacquer inside is considered safe. A modern product made from polyacrylates and organic solvents. Environmentally friendly and more persistent than conventional water dispersible products. Acrylic varnishes produced for baths and saunas necessarily contain anti-fungal components.

    Water based polyurethane varnish

    Combines the advantages of water-dispersible and alkyd varnishes. It appeared on the market relatively recently, so you should treat it with caution, like any new product. And his price is rather big.

    Wax-based impregnations

    Wax, like drying oil, has long been used to protect and gloss wood surfaces. Nowadays, purely wax impregnations are almost never used. It is practiced to add wax to the composition of protective agents based on other components.

    In addition to protective equipment, special detergents for cleaning and bleaching wood. They are used both before applying the protection and for washing off dirty and darkened surfaces.

    Sauna protection products from different manufacturers

    To treat wood inside the steam room, you should not experiment too much. It is necessary to choose varnishes and impregnations made specifically for baths and saunas. Those who produce such products take into account the conditions and requirements for such premises.

    The Finnish company Tikkurila is considered the leader of such products.

      Supi Saunasuoja is a water-based impregnation with acrylic. Suitable for temperatures above 100 ° C. A universal remedy for the internal protection of the steam room. It is produced both in a colorless version and in a form suitable for tinting.

    Conclusion

    Of course, this is not a complete list of paints and varnishes and impregnations that can be used for baths and steam rooms in particular - there are other manufacturers and other products. What is better to use, it is more correct to discuss with the specialists of the company building your bath: there are a number of points that can only be determined directly "on site" - depending on the material used or the design of the bath.

    If you have already seriously decided to process wood inside the bath, then the following recommendations are unlikely to stop you. However, we strongly recommend that you at least briefly familiarize yourself with these tips, as they are based on the many years of experience of a large number of builders and owners of wooden baths or baths decorated with wood inside.

    And the speech is actually about the fact that the bath, built with correctly calculated ventilation, does not need additional processing inside with means from rotting and the appearance of fungus. The concept of ventilation should also include the mandatory ventilation of the entire bath, including the steam room, washing room and rest rooms, before and after use.

    Organization process proper ventilation has already been described in detail in this article, then we will talk about why the optimal solution for a bath is to minimize, and, if possible, completely avoid using impregnations for the wood inside.

    The first thing to understand: any impregnation changes the properties of wood and most of the positive effects associated with the use of this particular material in the construction of a bath or interior decoration come to naught as a result of its processing with various compounds.

    Second important point is that chemical composition Most of the popular impregnations when processing wood with them leads to the gradual release of various harmful chemical compounds into the air. This is especially true in the steam room.

    Linseed oil

    If you are still firmly convinced of the need for processing interior decoration baths with additional compositions, try to use them in a steam room in a minimum amount. The most common and safest way to process wood in a steam room is to coat it with one or two layers of industrial flaxseed oil. This oil can be purchased at pharmacies, grocery stores, or local home improvement stores. An analogue of linseed oil is a simple linseed oil, which is made from linseed oil and special catalysts (accelerators) of polymerization (the process of hardening the surface layer of drying oil).

    The only danger when buying drying oil is the possibility of getting into an unscrupulous manufacturer who made his drying oil not from linseed oil, but from some other oil. Therefore, nevertheless, deciding to cover the tree in the steam room, it is best to take just pure linseed oil, of which you will be sure of the quality.

    Although flaxseed oil is safe in terms of chemical emissions in a steam room, high temperatures ah, it nevertheless also has its own characteristics. If you apply too much of this oil to the wood in a steam room, it will smell strongly of oil when heated indoors. It will not be easy to get rid of this smell later: it will take more than a dozen times to use the bath at full capacity until the smell disappears completely.

    Linseed oil also comes in solid form. For hardening, pine resin, gum turpentine and an antiseptic, the basis of which is zinc, are added to it. Its use in the steam room is prohibited, but the treatment of furniture, walls or floors in the washing room and other areas of the bath is quite allowed.

    The most popular bath impregnations

    Carnauba Orange Butter Wax is a carnauba wax that dissolves in linseed oil with the addition of orange oil. In terms of density, it resembles the mastics used for parquet floors. This wax is used for the treatment of shelves and individual backrests, if any.

    Beeswax is slightly less heat resistant than carnauba wax. However, it is also very effective and is often used in the treatment of wood in the sauna. Its composition is natural beeswax with the addition of linseed oil and gum pharmacopoeial turpentine. Another disadvantage of the composition is the need to update the coating from time to time, since its protective properties are lost over time.

    Each of the above mixtures requires 5 days for complete drying and polymerization. That is, before using the premises treated with these compounds, be sure to wait until at least 5 days have passed after applying the last layer.

    Where to use the impregnation?

    Experienced sauna builders recommend processing only wood that is exposed to the most intense contact with water. These are, first of all, shelves and lower rims of the walls. The walls above the shelves and the ceiling in the steam room with normal ventilation do not need to be processed. if you have wood floors, you can also cover them with a protective compound, but optimal material for the floor in the steam room - this is, as experience shows, ceramic tiles with a non-slip surface.

    Since we have already talked about the floor in the steam room, we also say that in order to create a minimum humidity in the room after using it, the floors must be properly organized. All the rest of the water must drain into a special drain hole, which is connected by a pipeline to the general sewage system of the bath or leads to a separately equipped drain tank.

    In general, as we have already said, the use of wood processing products inside the bath is not necessary if it is correct organized ventilation and regular ventilation of the premises. Nevertheless, it is obvious that if you cover the tree with protective compounds, then it will last longer. In this case, the healing effect of the bath procedures will be partially lost. So this is a purely economic issue - which is more important for you: 100% health benefits from visiting a bath or minimizing the cost of replacing interior decoration, shelves or other furniture in the bath that will fail earlier.

    The most popular finishing material for a bath is lining, it is made from aspen, alder, pine, linden boards are often used. This type of cladding has high performance characteristics: strength, resistance to moisture, steam, temperature extremes.

    In order for the used wood to serve as long as possible, it must be covered with special compounds that protect against the formation of rot and deformation.

    Why impregnation in the bath

    Since wood is a natural and absolutely safe material, it is often used for interior decoration. But at the same time, it strongly absorbs moisture, as a result of which the surface becomes loose and is an excellent habitat for microorganisms, in particular a fungus. Settled in wood paneling bacteria by their vital activity provoke damage to the material and the collapse of the structure.

    There is a fairly wide range of impregnations for saunas and baths on the market, which are capable of creating a coating that protects the casing from the destructive effect high humidity and temperature drops. In addition, they have excellent antiseptic properties. The indisputable advantage of such products is the ability to give the surface an attractive appearance, performing the function of a decorative finish.

    Note! When choosing impregnation for baths and saunas, it is worth giving preference to products that do not emit toxic substances.

    Antiseptic impregnation for the bath allows you to extend the operational life inner cladding, keep its appearance, protect from decay, mold. These are unique products that do not form films on the surface of the wood and do not prevent it from breathing.

    What to choose

    In specialized retail outlets, a huge number of impregnations for wooden surfaces are presented, they differ in use, form of release, composition.

    Before making a purchase of this or that protective product, it is recommended to clearly determine what tasks it should cope with, namely:

    • what surface will be processed (floor, ceiling, benches, shelves in the steam room, the whole room);
    • whether an additional decorative coating will be used or the surface after processing will remain in the same form as before;
    • whether the degree of moisture protection inside the bath will be enough;
    • is the application method convenient?

    An essential indicator of high-quality impregnation for baths, including from a log house, is the combination of its moisture-proof properties with the ability not to prevent the sheathing from breathing. Since the presence of the film entails blockage of the wood structure and subsequent problems leading to deterioration of the surface. It is also worth paying attention to the environmental friendliness of the chosen antiseptic. Otherwise poor quality product at high temperatures, high level humidity in the room will emit harmful substances.

    If an impregnation is chosen for the treatment of floors, then after its application, a slippery coating should not form. Countertops and benches should be treated with products intended for regular wet cleaning. There are shelf impregnations on sale that are able to fully penetrate into the structure of the wood and prevent burns on the body in high temperatures.

    Views

    Protective impregnations for wooden surfaces are divided into groups depending on what is the main component in their composition, as well as on the properties and method of application. According to the form of release, antiseptics are:

    • aerosol;
    • gel;
    • in the form of a solution.

    All types of impregnation for baths and saunas have water-repellent properties. Modern impregnations for baths rarely have only one function; they can often be used as universal preparations that allow protecting wooden surfaces from the negative effects of high temperatures, excessive humidity and from damage by pathogenic microorganisms and harmful insects.

    By their composition, the funds are divided into water-soluble and oil-based. You can purchase a combined preparation in the form of varnish and paint, which is distinguished by the effect of moisture protection and warning against microorganisms. Most impregnations have additional working qualities in the form of fire resistance and dirt-repellent function.

    Differences between oil and water-soluble products

    The main distinguishing feature of water-soluble impregnations is the base on which they are made - acrylic. An additional component of the product is usually a special coloring color, which gives the treated bath casing a certain shade. Acrylic impregnation with varnish is now very popular. They are used to treat baths inside and outside.

    Despite the many positive characteristics of acrylic preparations, they note one drawback - the gradual leaching from the structure of the tree. In order to preserve the natural skin, it is necessary to carry out regular treatments. An excellent solution This problem will be coated first with a waterproofing solution, and then impregnated for baths. With such an integrated approach, wood will last much longer.

    Due to the absence of color and odor in acrylic, such preparations are especially suitable for interior work. it a good option for those owners of baths and saunas who wish to preserve the natural wood pattern. On sale, water-soluble products are presented in the form of dry mixtures or ready-to-use solutions.

    Oil impregnations are distinguished by their ability to penetrate deeply into the wood base, leaving a thin film on the outside. They are characterized by durability and can maintain their working qualities for much longer, even at excessive moisture levels, than water-soluble preparations.

    Differ oil impregnation high degree toxicity and the presence of an unpleasant pungent odor, since they contain a solvent. Due to toxicity, it is not recommended to use these substances in closed rooms without observing safety rules. They can handle the dressing room, outside walls, utility rooms.

    Treatment of different parts of the bath

    Conditions in different parts of the bath are different, therefore the requirements for finishing materials differ. In rooms where temperature and humidity are maintained at a high level, it is recommended to choose more expensive permanent impregnations.

    Dressing room

    Among the most popular ready-made products are Sauna (Belinka) and Supi Saunasuoja (Tikkurila). Of the domestic impregnations, the U-409 agent from the Usadba firm has proven itself well. It can be used equally effectively for the treatment of wooden structures in baths, saunas, bathrooms, showers and living quarters. All these impregnations are made on the basis of only natural ingredients. After their application, a thin film is formed on the cladding (eurolining) and logs, which greatly simplifies the removal of dirt. They contain fungicidal and insecticidal components that prevent the appearance and reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms in baths, saunas, which is especially important for the dressing room.

    Another well-known antiseptic is Eurotex Sauna, which contains wax. Colorless wax antiseptic creates a protective film on the surface wooden structure... The tool is great for processing benches, shelves. An impregnation with a volume of 2.5 liters is enough for 35 sq. m. After using this product, the wood has a more attractive appearance, is easier to clean and retains its original color for a long time. Of the shortcomings, only the presence of an obvious specific smell inside the room can be noted, but after 3-5 visits it disappears.

    Steam room

    Considering that inside the steam room there is a very high air temperature and high humidity, a special approach is needed here, in particular, you should know what is the best way to process the lining in the steam room. Natural oils and wax are suitable for these purposes. Some do-it-yourselfers soak the boards in linseed oil with a natural aroma. Often, hemp oil is chosen from a variety of impregnating oils. If you need a more economical option, then you can use refined sunflower oil.

    There is a fairly large selection of tools for processing industrial shelves. These are impregnations from the Russian firm "Usadba" and "Eurotex Sauna", and Supi Laudesuoja oil from Tikkuril.

    Note! It is undesirable to use ordinary paints and varnishes to protect benches, logs, shelves, walls and ceilings.

    Wooden surfaces must breathe - first absorb moisture and then release it. If conventional formulations are used, then such surfaces are deprived of this quality. In addition, in conditions of high humidity and high temperatures, the evaporation of harmful substances is added that pose a health hazard, and the bath is no longer a cure for many diseases, as it was from time immemorial. This can be compared to finishing a bath or sauna with linoleum, siding, which is absolutely contraindicated.

    Homemade recipes

    There is a recipe for homemade wax impregnation, which includes beeswax and linseed oil, the ingredients are taken in equal proportions. The grated wax is melted in a water bath, and then it is mixed with the second component and allowed to cool.

    For impregnating the walls of the steam room, it is recommended to use harmless protective materials. The use of oils allows you to create a greasy film on the surface of a wooden structure and protect the wood itself from penetration into the depths of dirt. There is one drawback here. For some time after contact with the treated surfaces, a greasy film will be felt, but soon the oil will be absorbed and partially rub off, leaving only a protective film.

    A good result is obtained after using melted natural wax. This impregnation is easy to do with your own hands. But the surface must first be thoroughly cleaned, degreased and only then wax applied.

    To extend the service life of wood, it is recommended to treat surfaces with a protective impregnation at least once every two years. It is better to plan these works for the autumn season. It is necessary to choose the impregnation on which there is a note that it is intended for use in bath conditions (appropriate temperature, humidity).

    The antiseptic for the bath should be applied exclusively to the cleaned surface. From wood, you first need to clean off the old varnish, paint (if any), damaged layers, sweep away the dust, and then apply the product only with a soft and wide brush. The most convenient way to prepare the surface is to use a sander.

    A little dye can be added to add color to the protective coating. The lower crown of the bathhouse is best treated with a bitumen-based compound, it perfectly protects against decay.

    The foundation must be protected by waterproofing, otherwise it will begin to rot over time. It is advisable to cover the surfaces that will most often come into contact with water with several layers of impregnation. You can use the bath only after the composition used has completely dried.

    Bath is a place where people come not only to take a steam bath and have a good time, but also to improve their health. Therefore, it is advisable to select the materials that are used for its construction and decoration based on their health safety. This is especially important when you need to decide how to cover the linden wall paneling in the steam room.

    Material features

    Before processing the lining, you need to carefully sand all surfaces.

    Linden lining, like any wood, belongs to environmentally friendly materials. This is its clear plus. However, it is known that any wood absorbs and retains moisture well. In this regard, it is linden lining that has the following advantages:

    • resistance to the formation of rot, mold and mildew;
    • low heat capacity - practically does not heat up, therefore it can be used even in steam rooms;
    • relatively low cost.

    What processing is needed for

    Processing lining for a bath is carried out with a brush

    The lining is processed:

    • for decorative purposes - in order to give it the desired color and shade;
    • to protect against moisture penetration and the development of fungus and mold.

    Linden wood contains phytoncides, which in themselves have antibacterial properties. If such a lining is additionally also properly processed, it can last about 100 years.

    What tools are better to use

    After applying the composition to the wood, it is necessary to grind the product evenly with a clean, lint-free cloth to avoid drips.

    There are many various means intended for the treatment of the bath. But you need to be careful when choosing them, especially with regard to compositions for use in a steam room. After all, it is in this room that the wood is heated to high temperatures. The heating process promotes the release of substances into the air with which the lining has been processed.

    Therefore, when choosing a means for covering wood in a steam room, you need to focus on its chemical composition, it must be safe for human health. Otherwise, after visiting such a bathhouse, you can be seen by a doctor.

    The lining in the bath is covered with the following means:

    • ship varnish;
    • drying oil;
    • linseed oil;
    • wax compositions.

    Many people think that it is better not to process the lining in the steam room itself. It is up to you to decide whether this theory is correct, the main thing is to follow the safety rules outlined above. To treat the lining in the steam room, you must choose natural water or oil-based products intended for use in this particular room, for example, Supi Saunasuoja or Supi Laudesuoja.

    The construction of a bath is a lot of trouble, and they all play an important role in the end result. Take, for example, the lining that is used to sheathe the interior of the bath: it is not enough, it is not enough to fix them correctly using a heat-reflecting layer, so you also need to cover the wooden surface with protective equipment.

    But, how and what exactly, we will consider in this article.

    The steam room is the most important part of the sauna

    If you want your bath to be comfortable, cozy and durable, you need to choose high-quality materials for its decoration. Not everyone knows, but most tree species offered by suppliers are not suitable for extreme conditions, sometimes created in the steam room.

    High humidity and temperatures under 100 degrees, or even higher, affect them adversely.

    Therefore, when building a bath with your own hands, make a choice from the proposed options:

    • Linden- soft and light wood. Its structure is resistant to high humidity, does not stratify due to hot air.
      It is also considered an extremely delicate material that does not leave splinters when working with it.
    • Aspen- has gained popularity due to its easy processing and low cost.
      Not a bad option, both for and for mounting shelves from it.
    • Alder- the most beautiful of their domestic tree species: the texture is bright, expressive. If it is very important for you that the bath is not only functional, but also beautiful, you should pay attention to alder.

    The price of Russian wood is in an acceptable range, which cannot be said about exotic varieties: not so affordable for many Russian citizens... However, they are highly resistant to high temperatures and are not afraid of moisture.

    If you make a steam room from such materials, then it will turn out once and for all.

    • Abash.

    • Sedrella.
    • Meranti.
    • Ofram.

    Most of them are not sold in many cities of Russia, so it is not surprising that for some it will seem like a luxury to mount exotic materials on the walls in the bathhouse.

    Steam room protection

    And yet, how to cover the lining in the bath in order to increase its service life and give the wood structure resistance to the destructive effects of moisture?

    The first step is to refuse and cross out the option with ordinary wood varnish: not only is it afraid of high temperatures, it also exudes an unpleasant odor.

    Then it is necessary to divide the priorities into:

    Imported funds

    Supi Saunasoja (produced by Tikkurila)- protective acrylac, designed for the treatment of walls, floors and ceilings in the steam room and rooms with high humidity. It can be either colorless or tinted.

    The main advantages are:

    • After application, it forms a water-repellent and dirt-repellent surface that remains unchanged even at temperatures of 120 degrees.
    • The product contains a component that prevents the appearance of mold on the treated surface.
    • Can be used for both wood materials and concrete structures.

    The only drawback is that Supi Saunusoy cannot be used for ceilings in a bath.

    Lining preparation:

    • First of all, you need to make sure that the humidity in the room is at least 75% and the temperature is at least 5 degrees.
    • The surface to be treated must be clean: dirt and dust are removed.
    • After cleaning, the walls are slightly moistened and you must wait until the water is dry. Peeling wood fibers may appear in some places and should be sanded.

    Instructions for applying protective acrylate:

    • Supi Saunasoja is applied to the surface in two layers.

    Note! It is advisable to ventilate the room.

    • The first layer, if tinted, is diluted with water up to 20%. With a colorless composition, there is no such need.
    • The second layer should be applied continuously, working several boards at a time. This will help avoid color differences.

    For your information!
    To get acquainted with the color, to see how it will look on the lining, apply a little product on a separate board.

    You can take care of the treated lining only after a month, when the tree is finally saturated with a protective agent.

    It is best to use SupiSaunapesu, a product specially developed for the care of rooms with high humidity.

    Interier Sauna (manufactured by Belinka) is a modern colorless antiseptic (based on acrylic resin and water), designed for the treatment of all wooden elements in rooms with high humidity, except for ceilings.

    Important!
    If work with this product is carried out at temperatures below 10 degrees, the surface may turn yellow.

    Processing process:

    • Before applying colorless glaze, all elements to be processed should be thoroughly cleaned of wood chips and dirt.
    • Mix the container with InterierSauna thoroughly.
    • The protective agent is applied in two layers using a brush or roller.
    • The first layer is painted at a temperature of about 20 degrees and with a minimum moisture content of 65%.
    • The second layer is applied only after the previous one is completely dry, at least 3 hours.

    Advice:

    • Use stainless tools, otherwise rust stains can appear on the walls over time.
    • After the first application, after about an hour, it is advisable to sand the surface with a fine-grained sandpaper. This will have a positive effect on the final result.
    • InterierSauna is the answer to the question of how to cover the lining in the dressing room.

    Russian funds

    Aqualak Eurotex Sauna - a colorless varnish based on wax and water... Suitable for all types of walls, floors and ceilings, however, do not apply to curtains.

    It is completely colorless, therefore it does not have a negative effect on the loss of wood dyes.

    How scuba is applied:

    • The surface must be completely cleaned and sanded. If there was already any protective varnish on it, the wood should be sanded to avoid contact of one agent with another.
    • After careful preparation, the first coat is applied with a brush or roller.
    • The next layer must be applied within 40 minutes. If the drying time is increased, the surface is completely dry after an hour, then during application it is necessary, as it were, to rub the aqualac into the wood.

    The room is ready for use in three days, with preliminary heating of the bath.

    Important! Re-processing of the lining should be done in 3-4 years.

    The above information will help you find the necessary remedy for the bath, however, you should know some subtleties in order to avoid adverse consequences:

    • How to paint the lining in the bath? The question is worded incorrectly, paint in a damp room, for example, in a steam room, is generally not recommended.
      It prevents the wood from breathing, which will negatively affect the life of the material. The paint is suitable for rooms where there is no exposure to high temperatures and humidity. Therefore, it is better to ask - than to cover the lining.
    • Is it possible to process bath curtains? Not desirable. Even if you purchased an imported product High Quality, this does not mean that it is harmless for contact with the body.
      It is one thing the walls, which, if touched, are extremely rare and short in time, another thing is the canopy: full and long-term contact.

    For your information! Untreated wood is more useful, even has a healing effect.

    • Can scuba gear be applied to wet surfaces? No. Be sure to dry all walls and floors before starting work. Look at the packaging of protective equipment, they usually indicate the acceptable range of humidity and temperature during operation.
    • If with paint or varnish, can it be covered with an antiseptic? Alas, you can't. Careful work should be done to remove the paint.
