To choose the best stones for a bath, you need to know what requirements are imposed on them. There are several types of stones that have undergone a long practice test and are recommended by experienced bath attendants.
Stones are not only an indispensable attribute of a steam room, but also an item that ensures the quality of steam. The loads experienced by the stones during operation impose a number of special requirements on them.
What should be the stones for the bath?
First of all, the stones in the steam room must have high heat resistance. They will have to withstand a large number of heating-cooling cycles, so their strength should be impeccable. The heat capacity is extremely important. This indicator determines the ability of a stone to heat up quickly and retain heat. High heat capacity allows to increase the duration of bath procedures. Not every stone is able to withstand such harsh operating conditions. Stones should be environmentally friendly and not have inclusions of substances harmful to human health. Their thermal expansion should be minimal.
