Height of shelves in the bath

When building a bathhouse yourself, it is necessary to take into account some features. One of them is the optimal parameters of the future design. They depend on the purpose, the overall size of the bathhouse and its stove, and the number of people who will take part in operation. The user must pre-designate all this.

Types of bath shelves

There are several varieties, namely:

• Stepped. Typically, such steam rooms are provided with two or three steps, on which each person can comfortably sit.
• L-shaped. The seats are located in space near adjacent walls, that is, neighboring ones. Unlike the first option, this one has the possibility of creating one tier.
• Complex. There can be two cases: either the lower shelf is movable, or the upper one reclines.
• Coupe. Places are set one by one.

What is the height of the shelves in the bathhouse

To correctly determine the value, you should take into account the ratio of the height of the person using the device and the elevation of the entire structure. Despite the fact that there are no standard parameters, there are still recommended ones for use in the assembly. It is believed that a tier with a half meter high (+- 10 cm) is more convenient. If your distance from floor to ceiling is too large, then you can take into account the size of the shelf no more than two meters.

It is important to understand that seats that are too low will not be comfortable for you, so it is not recommended to install less than 30 centimeters. In addition, it is advisable to place the topmost shelf more than one meter from the ceiling.

What is the width of the shelves in the bath

The indicator most often varies from 30 centimeters to 60. In a situation where the surface seat is intended for lying down, it is worth resorting to parameters greater than 60 - 90 cm, this will guarantee the most suitable pastime. Basically, it is best to rely on the total area. If you make a choice based on the number of people who will be steaming, then you should consider the following recommendations:

1. If you want to create a single-place lying shelf, the figure should be approximately 1050 mm. At the same time, you should create a step if you want to sit on it.
2. Subject to use for two or three people. It is advisable to arrange the structure in a rectangular shape. Then the figure will be from 1300 mm. This option is great for small and fairly compact spaces.
3. From four or more. Again, if it is a small room, then a gap of 1400–1500 millimeters will do. If you prefer larger sizes or dimensions, then you should take into account a value of 20 meters.

Design features

To fully ensure a winning bath room, you should take into account the fact that it is with open shelves on the bottom side that the ventilation process will take place. To prevent liquid from accumulating, it is advisable to make a slight tilt. To avoid various damages, you need to carefully check the reliability of fastening the products to the walls.

In addition, do not try to coat it with varnish, as at elevated temperatures they will release harmful properties and the product itself will lose its original shape. Make sure that the structure does not have various corners and sharp spots. To prevent rotting, it is advisable to separate the floor from the shelves with a lining (it is better to choose rubber or plastic).

ATTENTION! An important point is compliance with fire safety. The surface should not be formed too close to an open fire or oven. And the walls that come into contact with them must be treated with a special non-flammable substance and fenced with thermal insulation material.
