Installing a glass door to a bathhouse with your own hands will require the following tools: building level, drill, masking tape, tape measure, and wooden wedges.
You can buy glass doors with or without a frame. Consider both installation options:
Glass doors with a frame in the bath are mounted according to the following algorithm:
the door is removed from the box;
the box is fixed in the opening with wedges and secured with screws;
the canvas is hung on loops, while gaskets are used;
a handle and other additional fittings are installed.
Safety compliance
The choice and installation of a glass door to the sauna should be carried out taking into account safety precautions. This applies to both the characteristics of the material and the design. It is recommended to purchase thick glass so that it cannot be damaged by mechanical stress. A hardwood box is preferred. If the structure is made of coniferous wood, it can be dangerous – when heated, the resin will begin to be released which can burn human skin.
Also, pay attention to the material from which the fittings for glass doors to the sauna are made. Handles and other elements should not overheat, so as not to cause burns when touched.
How to adjust the glass door in the bath
When installing it yourself, it is important to know how to adjust the glass door in the bath and sauna. Modern designs of door hinges are mostly equipped with a special mechanism that allows you to move the canvas horizontally and vertically for some distance. In some cases, to get to it, you will need to unscrew the loop screw, which is then installed in place.
