Specifications

Description of the Eurotex-sauna product

Wood coating from domestic manufacturers Eurotex-sauna is designed to protect natural material in conditions with elevated air temperatures and cyclic humidification. The product contains wax and other additives, due to which the impregnation has water- and dirt-repellent properties. Even with prolonged exposure to steam and hot water, it has low water absorption. The product provides long-term protection against:

• rotting;
• fungus;
• mold and other biological damage.

The impregnation contains antiseptics that can reliably block the surface of the wood. Even at high temperatures, antiseptics are not released from the coating. This makes it possible to use this product in steam rooms and saunas without harm to human health.

When an antiseptic is applied to wood, a colorless silky coating is formed on the surface. It serves as an effective protection against microorganisms and does not prevent the wood from continuing to allow air to pass through.

Application

Work on applying the composition should be carried out at a temperature not lower than +5°C. Apply oil and leave to absorb. If necessary, apply another layer after 40 minutes. Leave to dry for 72 hours. Heat the sauna or bathhouse, wiping off excess with a clean soft cloth.

Surface preparation

Mix acrylic varnish EUROTEX Sauna thoroughly before use. Apply to dry wood that is free of dirt, dust and other coatings. When working, use a brush, roller or spray.

Number of layers

Apply 1 layer in a steam room (except for shelves - do not paint); in the washing machine, 2-3 layers.

Advantages of impregnating wood antiseptics

Wood has been widely used in construction for a long time. in a house made of wood in summer, but always warm in winter. This natural material was also used for the construction of baths and saunas. Wood was used to decorate the premises and make furniture. The material has always been valued for many qualities:

• environmental friendliness;
• good thermal insulation;
• natural origin;
• high performance properties.

In recent years, every owner of a country house or summer cottage has been trying to build a bathhouse or sauna on his property. Such natural material requires special treatment. It may turn out to be short-lived if it is not treated in time with various means:

• impregnation;
• primer;
• varnish.

Each of these remedies has its own properties. For example, the substance protects wood from ultraviolet radiation, precipitation, and elevated temperatures indoors. Since the material is exposed to sunlight, it will lose its attractiveness over time. Its natural pattern becomes invisible, the color of the logs is gray and ugly.

If fresh wood is not treated with an antiseptic impregnation, then soon the fresh logs can turn into dust. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to use impregnation. It is also called an antiseptic that preserves the natural beauty of wood and protects against sun fading. After timely treatment with impregnation, you can forget about wood fungus for a long time. All antiseptics can be divided into two types:

• wood penetrating agents;
• forming a protective film on wood.

Properties and scope

Eurotex-sauna impregnation is designed to protect wooden coverings from biological damage and atmospheric influences. It helps to preserve the attractive appearance of natural material for a long time. The main properties of the Eurotex sauna include:

• formation of a colorless protective silky coating;
• long service life of wood;
• provides a healthy microclimate in the bathhouse, sauna;
• protection against pathogenic microorganisms;
• high water- and dirt-repellent properties;
• natural wax content;
• health safety at high temperatures;
• has no foreign odors;
• non-toxic and non-flammable.

The product is used indoors, including those with high temperatures and under conditions of cyclic humidification. Such premises include baths and saunas, steam rooms, relaxation rooms, washing rooms, and locker rooms.

Review of the preservative "Neomid 430" ECO

This antiseptic is non-washable, it is intended for external and internal use, providing maximum protection of the material under difficult operating conditions. After treatment, wood can be exposed to prolonged contact with moisture and soil. Antiseptic "Neomid" protects structures from damage by wood-staining, wood-destroying and mold fungi, mosses, algae and wood-boring insects.

The protection period can last up to 35 years. Maximum protection can be achieved by deep impregnation. An antiseptic is used to treat:

• terraces;
• berths;
• gazebos;
• black floors;
• foundations;
• walls;
• beams;
• frames;
• crossbars;
• rafters;
• pillars

The material chemically bonds with wood and does not necessarily require painting with varnishes or paints. Neomid antiseptic can be used as a protective biocidal impregnation before applying other products. Wood after processing takes on a greenish color, which can change to brown or gray.

What is not suitable for treating bathhouses?

Acrylic water-borne varnish for baths and saunas, intended for exterior facade work, is definitely not suitable. Such materials are inexpensive, but apart from their decorative qualities, bright shine and beautiful tone, they are of little use. It is possible to open the outer walls, but the treatment procedure will need to be carried out annually, while branded coatings remain on the facade of the bathhouse without updating for an average of 5-7 years.

You should not use furniture varnishes to treat walls; they peel off easily and become cloudy when the wooden base is heated or slightly moistened. Any varnish compositions for industrial use should not be used for the interior of baths and saunas. Such materials contain salt adhesives that can cause a severe allergic reaction. The foundation or closed load-bearing elements of the bathhouse structure are treated with polymers.

It may be late, but I'll add it. It might come in handy. Bathhouse 5*4, ceiling height 2 m. Covered everything with Tikkurila products. The walls and ceilings are supi saunasuoi. Moreover, in the steam room I covered it with a base, in two layers, and in other rooms with an ivory tinting. The shelves in the steam room are supi laudesuoi. Funds spent - 2 liters. On the walls and ceiling, and one jar, like 500 grams. On the shelves. The floor in the lounge area is a simple yacht varnish. But I haven’t touched the floor in the washroom yet. There's a problem with them, I'm thinking about how to redo them...

I did it with a special protective varnish, as some people write correctly. Here it is here bankov-market.ru/dlya-str…-stva/obrabotka-drevesiny Supi Saunasuoja. Everything has been fine for a year now, no cracks, no problems. So as an option it may be useful to someone. The price is small.

patchwork wax! there is nothing else simpler. Contains linseed oil, turpentine, beeswax and rosin. everything is natural and harmless! A week ago I smeared a canister (1 liter each) in the steam room of the bathhouse on the walls, ceiling, floor and shelves. first one layer on Sunday. I waited a week, arrived at the dacha on Friday, and I warmed up the first layer with a hair dryer. then on Saturday evening I applied a second layer (second canister). I waited one night and on Sunday before lunch I treated it again with a hairdryer. In the evening of the same day we tried the bathhouse - everything was OK! moisture is not absorbed into the boards, the smell is pleasant (honey aroma). Now I want to do the next thing - cover the dressing room and veranda with the same patchwork wax. The veranda is attached to the bathhouse and is also lined with clapboard. Only now I want to make this patchwork wax myself - YouTube and Google are here to help. linseed oil - a diet store for healthy eating, turpentine - in Leroy-Merlin, beeswax - from beekeepers (through Avito it's half the price), probably every home has rosin. The main thing is to maintain the correct percentage ratio. I'll be making wax this weekend. Well, immediately apply it to the lining...

Thank you. I'll know

This is all for nothing if there is good ventilation. But I would cover the floor in the washroom and that’s it.

covered the entire bathhouse completely (from the inside) Eurotex sauna (both canopy and floor 2 times) excellent! The water has been rolling off for 3 years like new))

How to cover the lining inside a bathhouse

No one doubts that the best finishing material for a bathhouse is wood. And almost everyone uses lining for interior decoration. But whether or not to treat the lining in a bathhouse is up to everyone to decide for themselves. Opinions here are divided: some say that without treatment with special means, wood darkens, loses its attractiveness, rots and is affected by disease. All this is true.

The lining looks great in a bathhouse or sauna

For the most part, lovers of baths and saunas make a compromise: in the steam room the lining is left without treatment, and for the relaxation room and washing room they use special products. Lining without treatment, of course, becomes unusable over time, but it will have to be changed no more than once every 2-5 years (depending on the type of wood and the intensity of use of the steam room).

Composition for treating wood in saunas and baths

Domestic producers are also trying to lag far behind global producers.

Domestic product -

— impregnation for baths, saunas, wet and residential premises. All these compositions are made based on natural ingredients. They create a thin film on the surface, which makes removing dirt easier.

“Eurotex-sauna” is an antiseptic with wax for saunas and baths. This is a colorless coating that creates a protective film on the surface of the wood. The composition is ideal for benches and shelves (for those who decide to process them).

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the size of the door to the steam room with frame

Impregnation EURO

Considering the cost of lining and other wood products, the cost of impregnation does not seem very high. In addition, it should be noted that after treatment the wood looks much more attractive, is easier to clean and does not darken for a long time. However, there are also disadvantages: during 3-5 visits to the bathhouse there is a not very strong, but quite obvious specific smell.

In the rest room you can use the composition “UnikaSuper” from the same Tikkurila. But this composition changes the color of the wood, so for those who like “natural”, Supi Saunasoja is again suitable.

Most bathhouse fans agree that there is no need to cover the lining inside the steam room with anything. But if there is such a need, then you can use natural oils and wax. Some experts advise soaking the boards in linseed oil, to which you can add natural aromatic oils of your choice. You can use hemp oil, and, the cheapest option, sunflower oil, but refined, with minimal odor.

This treatment will create a greasy film on the surface of the wood and will not allow dirt to penetrate deep into the wood. But you need to be prepared for the fact that for some time, parts of the body from contact with the treated shelf will be greasy. After some time, the oil will be absorbed (or wiped off), but the protective film will remain.

Similarly, you can treat the steam room with melted natural wax. Before applying wax, the surface must be thoroughly sanded and only then apply melted wax.

Important! What you definitely cannot do is use ordinary varnishes or paints for a bath or sauna. The tree must “breathe”, first absorbing excess moisture and then releasing it

When using conventional compositions, wood is completely deprived of this property; in addition, fumes from the chemical substances included in the composition are added, which are very dangerous to health at high temperatures and humidity. It's the same as covering a steam room with linoleum or siding: the materials are good, but not for these purposes.

If you use the steam room correctly, ventilate and dry it on time, then fungi and bark beetles will not grow in it. They die at high and low temperatures:

• At a temperature of 70-80°C, spores of all fungi and protozoa die within 10 minutes.
• At -15°C, young shashal larvae die, and if the temperature remains below -15°C for a week, then adult larvae also die.
• A temperature of 60°C is the upper limit at which bark beetles can survive.

At high and low temperatures, fungi and pests die

If you either heat the bathhouse to high temperatures or freeze it, then it will not be afraid of any misfortunes, and you can deal with the remaining problems quite simply: clean it more often or cover the most used surfaces with natural compounds.

Varnish for baths and saunas: how to protect wood

The construction of a bathhouse involves a lot of effort, and all of them are assigned serious roles to obtain the final result.

Let's take lining, which is used for interior cladding: its installation taking into account the heat-reflecting layer is insufficient, the wooden surface must be covered with protective equipment.

Let's talk about the steam room

Based on this, when building a bathhouse with your own hands, you need to choose the right type of wood:

Linden. It has soft and light wood. Also, its structure is able to withstand high humidity and does not delaminate under the influence of hot air. In addition, linden is a delicate material; working with it does not lead to the appearance of splinters.

Linden board finishing

Aspen. It is popular because it is easy to process and its price is relatively low. Excellent for covering walls and ceilings in bathhouses, as well as for making benches and other furniture from it.

And this is an aspen tree in the steam room

Alder. It is one of the most beautiful domestic wood species; it has a bright, expressive texture. That is, if not only the functionality of the bathhouse matters, but also its beauty, then alder should be the first in your choice.

Attention: We considered only deciduous wood, because it is from them that the steam room should be finished. Coniferous representatives release substances into the air when heated that adversely affect the health of steamers. We suggest you read: Is it possible to go to a bathhouse, sauna, or steam during menstruation?

So, the lining in the steam room of the bathhouse must be protected, which will increase its service life and make the wood resistant to moisture and high temperatures.

Attention: Regular wood varnish should never be used in a steam room. It does not tolerate high temperatures and also produces a very unpleasant odor and is harmful to health due to its toxicity.

Watch the topic video:

After laying the tape insulation between the crowns and shrinking the timber or log, quite large gaps are formed, through which moisture and cold air begin to penetrate into the residential building. Previously, according to many experts, it was necessary to carry out the so-called caulking of the entire wooden house at least once a year. Due to its characteristics, this process takes a fairly large amount of time, has a low cost of work performed and takes a lot of effort.

Sealants for sealing such joints and joints appeared not long ago and immediately attracted the attention of many professional builders. First of all, there are a lot of positive reviews on the quality of the Neomid-professional sealant

After laying an even seam in the resulting cracks, the sealant fills all the voids as much as possible and becomes almost one with the log or timber. The ability to select the appropriate color scheme and shade, ease of use and, most importantly, the quality of the seam, quickly made this product one of the most popular in the construction of a wooden house.

Photo: There are also small packages of sealant on sale (600 ml - 900 grams) intended immediately for filling a given volume, and the gun is a closed type.

Photo: Having purchased a sealing compound, do not forget to purchase a closed-type sealant gun.

Many specialists began to use Neomid Professional sealant from the moment it appeared on the shelves of construction stores; accordingly, during this long period of operation of built houses made of wood, specialists had the opportunity to evaluate how the sealant works during operation. Weather conditions, wood deformation, attacks by bark beetles, insects, rodents, low temperatures and direct sunlight - this is not a complete list of the loads that the sealant seam experiences every day.
