Interior design options for a bathhouse washroom

To carry out additional procedures, it is important to equip an additional room. A shower room, a compact pool or a spacious plunge pool will come in handy in the wash room.

Advantages and disadvantages of covering walls and floors with wood

To decorate the bathhouse washroom, some people prefer wood. The advantage of this option is that wood is a natural material that allows you to create a unique sink design in your bathhouse. Recognition has been gained by such species as cedar, linden and larch, which are moisture resistant. Before you start covering the walls, you need to prepare the floor, the screed of which is done in the usual way. When making a wooden floor, it is recommended to use coniferous species: for example, spruce, fir, pine. Their advantage is that the resins contained in them significantly extend the life of floor coverings where moisture is constantly present.

The disadvantages of covering the walls and floor of a sink with wood include the fact that in a room where water is constantly flowing, the log will quickly rot and mold. In addition, over time, wood, like any other surface, gets scratched and worn out.

Extra options

To determine the optimal size of the steam room in the bathhouse, you need to consider what position the steamers will be in during the procedures - sitting or lying down. In addition, other options may be provided - sitting on a shelf with legs bent, or lying down with legs on supports. Consequently, the location of the sunbeds, their number and size, significantly influences the dimensions of the steam room.

If we are talking about a small steam room designed for four visitors, where shelves allow you to both sit and lie down, the starting dimensions will start from 150x200 cm.

By adding to this value the area of the approaches to the benches and the dimensions of the stove, we can talk about the acceptable size of the steam room.

In paired compartments with forced ventilation, as a rule, no windows are provided. However, if there is no such system, to ventilate and dry the steam room you will need a window with dimensions of 40x40 cm. It is placed on the side opposite from the stove at the level of the top shelf. The glazing is double.

As for doorways, the entrance to the steam room should be blocked by a small door with a high threshold (up to 30 cm in height). Its size is 150x70 cm, and it opens from the steam room.

Advantages and disadvantages of tiling walls and floors

Modern high demands on the design of special premises lead to the fact that washrooms in bathhouses are often tiled. Before starting work, you need to select a high-quality adhesive solution that is suitable for wet rooms. Finishing the washroom in the bathhouse with tiles will be an excellent solution, and the question is not only about beauty, but also about the practicality of such a choice.
