Glass doors for sauna and bath

Everyone who owns a country house wants to have his own bathhouse or sauna. The popularity of such wellness and pleasant rest is growing at a tremendous pace, so that the issues of equipping the bath today are reaching a new level.

It is extremely important that the bath was arranged in compliance with all rules. Then rest in it will not only be relaxing, but also very useful for the body. Doors in the sauna and sauna play an important role, so their choice should be treated with the utmost care.

If you put an ordinary interior door in the bathhouse, all your efforts and waste on installing the furnace will go to "no." Only the door, established by all standards, will be able to keep the optimal heat and humidity in the steam room.

When are glass doors suitable for a bath?

If your bath is equipped in a modern style, then the glass doors in such an interior will be very handy. They emphasize the effectiveness, ease, elegance, refinement, inherent in the whole environment.

Do not be afraid that the glass door will not stand the temperature or be damaged in case of failure. For baths and saunas, the doors are made entirely of thick and, in addition, tempered glass. Such doors withstand extreme temperature changes, are absolutely not afraid of moisture, they are reliable and long. Unlike wooden doors, glass doors never warp, do not deform and they do not have to be corrected, so that they again tightly cover the doorway.

Glass doors for saunas and baths: features of manufacturing and installation

As already mentioned above, such doors are made of special glass, the thickness of which is not less than 8 mm. And this in no way affects the possibility of decorative processing of the door. For example, it can be a matte, transparent or combined door, with a sandblasted pattern (according to a template or an individual sketch). In addition, a glass door can be given any shade and create any relief. As you can see, the flight of fantasy when ordering and installing a glass door in a bath is practically unlimited.

Regarding the installation of a glass door in a bath, one must adhere to certain rules:

• leave a small clearance at the bottom for natural ventilation;
• take into account the fact that the finished product can not be corrected - cut the excess or attach the missing, so immediately specify the exact dimensions, and even better if the measurements are made by specialists;
• be careful not to damage the surface of the glass during installation;
• You can mount the glass bath door not only in the opening, but also in the walls and floor on the hinges previously fastened there;
• Use only high-quality hardware, as weak loops may not support the weight of the structure.
