Traditionally, the baths were built of wood, and it was chosen in a special way. In recent years, increasingly built baths of various types of blocks are popular and stone baths, in particular from a brick. Let us examine the advantages and disadvantages of each material.
Baths of aerated concrete or foam concrete
Baths of the blocks have a longer service life, has also attracted the attention of the cost of the material, it is quite acceptable. Also, concrete blocks have a low coefficient of thermal conductivity. The blocks can be cut at its own discretion, which facilitates installation. That is the speed of erection is an important factor when choosing the material.
Pros and cons of brick baths
First of all, these baths can be used for decades, they are durable and can withstand large temperature, the baths are not recovered during the heating harmful chemical compounds. When high-quality masonry bath does not require external finishes. For relative baths disadvantages are the high cost of the material, it has high heat capacity.
Baths made of wood
They were built in Russia since time immemorial. Applied primarily lumber or timber. The latter option is considered to be traditional, but it requires skills in the construction of his bath. Baths of timber much easier to build, but they have a flaw in the operation: timber may crack. Bath from a bar after the construction requires shrinkage. Sometimes you need to shrink to one and a half years. Sauna wood breathes, the steam discharged to the outside. It is important to choose the right material it wrong training can lead to a rapid deterioration of the structure.
How to choose the right wood
Advantageously used hardwood. Hardwood advantageously used lime or aspen. The first has traditionally been used more frequently. Linden wood has a light tone. With virtually no deformation over time. Aspen has a soft, supple to the processing structure, it is minimally exposed to rot. Cost of aspen log will be cheaper log of lime, with regard to bactericidal capacity of aspen. they are well known.
