How to make the door to the bath many people think. After all, this is not an ordinary door, it has its own peculiarities. In this article we will describe how to make the door with your own hands in the bath. This is not such a difficult job and it can be done completely independently, without resorting to outside help.

Before starting work, you should watch a video on this topic and choose the right configuration. After all, it must match your design. If you do the work yourself, then the price of the structure will be significantly reduced.

Choosing a door

First, let's see how to choose the door for the sauna, because the design must bear certain functions that are not used for a regular door. Knowing this, we will determine how to make the door to the bath itself.

We select the size

Thinking about how to make the door to the bathhouse itself, one should proceed from the fact that the door should keep the heat in the room as much as possible.

And this is its feature:

  • As a rule, the door is chosen as little as possible, based on the preservation of heat. True, everything should be in moderation. Generally, a height of the order of one and a half meters is applied and a width of about 70 cm is used;
  • First we determine the threshold, before you think about how to make a bath door with your own hands, this part of the door should be no lower than the 15 cm;

Note: These are not large sizes are selected only for the door in the steam room, where the greatest concentration of heat. For other doors, you can apply the usual standards. Only they should be made as tight as possible.

Choosing a material для изготовления

Here, too, has its own approach. After all, for example, in the steam room you will not put metal doors. After heating, you can also cause burns. Therefore, the best materials for the bath are wood and glass.

So:

  • Glass is different, so when you buy should pay attention to the certificate of quality and pay attention to the temperature that the glass can withstand.

But thinking about how to make a door for a bath with your own hands, first of all you should think about wood (see How to install a wooden door yourself). This is the best option that can be installed in any room of the steam room.

And this has its own reasons:

  • Wood produces smell when heatedwhich is good for human health;
  • Thinking about how to make the door to the bath with your own hands know, the tree does not heat up much at elevated temperatures and you do not damage the body when touched;
  • This material is commercially available. and it can be freely processed and done all the work with his own hands. And it will reduce the cost of work;
  • The tree keeps warm and moreover, it is the most ecological material, which not only does not harm health, but will only bring benefit;
We select a board without knots and high-quality connection

Caution: When choosing wood, never use softwood, especially in the steam room. When heated, it can give off a resin that will hurt when heated. Give preference to hardwood.

  • Pleasant may be the pricethat fits almost anyone. But there is the possibility of applying and expensive breeds. If you can’t afford them, but really want to, then it is worthwhile to carry out the treatment with special antiseptics that can give the tree any structure. Only processing is done for more than one day and therefore it is worth worrying about it in advance.

Now you know how to choose a door for the sauna, and now you will learn how to install the door to the bath.

Fabrication and installation of the door

All work is done according to certain rules that should be done. If you have not worked with a tree, then it may seem to you that this is quite a difficult job. But it is not. But it is better in this case to take a couple of boards more and just practice.

Choosing a material

As a rule, the door is made deaf for a bath, so we will consider the rules for the manufacture of just such a design.

Attention: When buying material, take a shot on the moisture content of wood, which should not be higher than 12%. Also, do not make the purchase of material in the presence of falling out knots, they quickly break up.

 So:

  • We take not a simple board, but grooved. She has better fit. When buying, try it as it enters the groove. It should not tilap and enter tightly enough;
  • You need a bar for strapping, you can take 70/80, but this is not necessary, pick which one is better, but not less than 50 mm;
  • Hinges (see hinges for doors: their types and rules of choice);
  • Screws.

Make the door

Getting started with the manufacture of cloth. We first make measurements and take into account the tolerance for the box, this binding is measured according to the purchased timber.

So:

  • We make pruning boards to the desired size. To do this, use a simple hacksaw for wood;
  • On one cloth we remove a thorn. We do fugovka. We must have a quality plane. Actually, if you have a surface gauge, then you should immediately skip the material through it, then you will get the perfect size and plane;
  • So we do the assembly of the canvas. They should go tight. If you get a wider size, then the length should be cut with a hacksaw;

Attention: When cutting the canvas, make sure that you have a thorn on one side and a groove on the other. We need this for the next build.

  • We look at the assembled canvas of the wooden door, if everything suits us, then we put it on a flat surface and do the assembly again, but at the same time it should be smeared with PVA glue. This will make the connection strong;
  • After assembly, let the canvas dry completely. This will take about three days;
  • After complete drying, the finished web should be checked for defects, if they exist, then the mixture should be made on the basis of sawdust and PVA glue and plastered irregularities.
We putty and polish the canvas

We do the binding of the canvas

Next, the installation of the door in the bath continues to perform strapping fabric.

We carry out a binding of a cloth

 So:

  • We cut the timber in the desired size;
  • Making a groove with a cutter making a groove with a depth of 25 mm. Now we make a groove on it again, only it should be not deep, about 10 mm. and about 50 mm wide. In the wide board will be mounted, and a smaller one, just suitable for installing and fixing the wall panel;
  • Now we make horizontal strapping bars and use the cutter to select a spike. Its size is made according to the groove. The joint must be tight;
  • We collect the strapping and check the correctness of the manufacture of the corners with the help of a square;

Attention: Do not forget that for the door in the bath is best fit and accessories made of wood, which you can make from waste material.

Making a door box

Installation of doors in the bath is done in a box that needs to be fitted under the door:

  • We cut the bars in the desired size;
  • At the ends of the side racks do a sample with a cutter. And on the transverse slats we make a spike, which should fit tightly into the groove;
  • After that we connect timber. We make a sample of the steps where the door will go. This is done with a milling cutter;
Sampling on racks
  • We join the Stoics and try on the canvas. Which is necessary so that it is pressed tightly enough and there are no cracks left. If everything fits, then we do the final mount with screws. They should not be driven in immediately, you must first drill a hole with a drill, the diameter of which is smaller than the cross section of the screw. After that, we twist it, having previously filled the compound with PVA glue;
  • Put the loop and fasten the canvas.

Door installation

Now we have a door assembly, which should be installed and it should be done in the following order:

  • We try on the box with the door at the place of installation and immediately make the correct installation, for this we use a level and plumb. We must have the right configuration;
  • After that, the gap between the box and the wall is clogged with insulation. Which rolls up and slips into the hole. To do this, you can use any waste from the insulation;
  • After that we make slopes. On this topic you can read a detailed article on our website.

Now you know how to install the door to the bath. This is not such a difficult question as it may seem at first glance. The main thing to buy quality material and make the right measurements.
