All about baths with a font

For many hundreds of years, the bath has been one of the favorite places for people of all ages to relax. This room allows not only to carry out all hygienic procedures, but also to restore vitality and energy. To get the maximum level of benefits, experts recommend combining bathing procedures with water procedures. Unfortunately, the lack of space often does not allow you to create a bathing complex consisting of a steam room and a swimming pool, a full-fledged substitute for which can be a font. It is this construction can be most often found in small bathhouses, as well as in elite complexes.

Bath (sauna) with a font - a universal construction, which allows you to combine hot steam and low temperatures. This manipulation is not only pleasant, but also useful. Temperature contrast tightens the skin, hardens the body, fills the body with energy and increases vitality. Despite the huge number of positive aspects of the design, its implementation in the project have a number of features:

• The presence of large areas in the bath;
• The location of the structure in the considerable distance from residential areas;
• The location of the facility on an elevated plot with the proximity of communication systems.

When choosing a product, experienced bathhouse attendants recommend paying special attention not only to the shape and size of the bath, but also to the accompanying accessories, the list of which includes the following components:

• internal bench and bench;
• steps;
• stairs;
• filtration and drainage system;
• filling system;
• heating devices;
• whirlpool systems;
• overflow system.

Particular attention should be paid to the method of placement of the product, which can be of the following types:

• recessed;
• open;
• pouring.

The peculiarity of deepened structures - small size, the presence of the stairs with handrails, the mandatory inclusion in the plan of construction, location in the pre-bath, the installation of all necessary communications. Advantages - structural similarities with the pool, convenience, practicality, long service life, the ability to use both indoors and outdoors.

Open structures are mounted directly on the floor and must be connected to the communications system. Advantages - the possibility of installation at any stage of construction of the room or after its completion, low price range of works, the possibility of complementing the heating devices when placed on the street. The original way of placement of the structure - pouring.

The high level of demand for the font for the bath provoked manufacturers to work on the creation of different models of this device, which differ in shape, size, material of manufacture and price range. In specialized stores you can see not only round and oval products, but also square, rectangular and angular. The basic materials for making containers are wood, concrete, metal, plastic and cast iron. The most environmentally friendly and healing are wooden products, which can be purchased in specialized outlets or make your own. The price range of the product is quite wide and depends on the following parameters:

• type of wood;
• the volume of the container;
• the quality of the material used.

Disadvantages:

• difficulty of maintenance;
• changing the structure in contact with direct sunlight.

For long-term use of the wooden structure, experts recommend observing the following recommendations:

• no contact with ultraviolet radiation;
• installation in a dry and well-ventilated room in a significant distance from heat sources;
• complete removal of water before the onset of low temperatures;
• regular filling with liquid to prevent desiccation;
• inadmissibility of cleaning with harsh cleaners and brushes.

Metal products are less in demand and popular due to the difficulty of moving and installing. The advantages are the possibility of outdoor and indoor use, the combination of the original material with polypropylene.

Specialists also recommend paying special attention to long service life, high durability, wide color and design range, ease of maintenance, as well as an affordable price range. The main drawback is the rapid increase in temperature and the appearance of scratches. Manufacturers have improved this material by combining it with fiberglass. This manipulation made it possible to purchase products both assembled and disassembled.

For many years, concrete structures have been in high demand due to their increased strength, ability to maintain the necessary temperature for a long time, as well as a wide range of designs, the possibility of decorating with various finishing materials, and the ability to carry out repair work of any complexity. The main disadvantage is the complexity and laboriousness of creation. Depending on the area of the room, the volume of the font can be designed for one person or for several.

Due to the fact that the font is an integral part of most baths, designers have developed a huge variety of projects. The design can be located both under one roof with the bath inside the room, and separately. Especially popular is the Russian log bath-house with warm and hot water. Despite the huge number of options, the font must be located in a small distance from the heater, which is especially important in the cold season.

Many designers recommend projects that successfully combine a bath-hole and a rest room. Experts recommend placing the font between the steam room and the auxiliary room. The reservoir in this design can have any shape and size, and small windows can be placed on the walls. The layout of this project directly depends on the total area of the site, as well as the aesthetic preferences of the owner and the professional skills of the designer.

Construction, which consists not only of the main room, but also from the outside part - the terrace, is the dream of all lovers of bathing. It is better if the terrace, located outside, has a solid foundation and a common roof with the main structure. In nature, you can place not only an artificial reservoir, but also a full-fledged recreation area with barbecue, barbecue and comfortable table and sofas.

Structures consisting of two floors, where the second floor is not only a place of rest, but also an area where it is always warm and dry, are considered universal. This project allows not only to rationally use the area of the site, but also to save significant financial resources for the construction of a separate house.And also to reduce the cost of heating of the whole complex.

Versatility of the combination of a baptismal font and a wood-fired sauna allows designers to use in their projects various options, which can be effectively emphasized by different decorative materials, furniture, interior items, as well as decor and textiles. Despite the wide design variation of objects, experts recommend observing the following general rules:

• Use only materials resistant to moisture and heat for interior finishes;
• obligatory absence of sharp corners and slippery surfaces;
• manufacture of the frame only in accordance with established GOST and in accordance with accepted standards;
• the use of only soft and quiet colors;
• Organization of a separate and correct space for used accessories.

Designers recommend paying attention to the following most popular styles in the design of the bathing complex.

• Classic - The use of carved elements and moldings, as well as arches and columns in rooms with a large area. Decorating the room with furniture of simple forms and restrained shades.

• Chalet - The use of simple, symmetrical and clear objects in rooms of large size. Distinctive features include terraces, exposed ceiling beams, stone structures and high ceilings.
