Russian bath - not only wellness procedure, but also a good tradition of joint recreation with family or friends. It's hard to imagine Vacation home without bath. To build it yourself on your site is highly honorable. Let's dwell on the layout of 4x6 m with a separate sink and steam room.
Peculiarities
Optimal size baths on land plot is 4x6 m. This volume of the room allows you to equip a place to relax so that several people can take a steam bath at the same time. The layout of the bath necessarily includes a waiting room, a steam room and a washing room. It is preferable to divide the bath with partitions into three rooms so that they warm up efficiently and retain heat.
Separate steam room and shower separate rooms with wet and dry steam. You can also make a rest room separate from the vestibule, put it in a washing shower: make a traditional bath comfortable in a modern way.
Except interior spaces must be included in the project. ventilation duct and sewer channels, hot and cold water, the ability to use electricity, and take into account fire safety standards.
Projects
Before drawing up a plan, you need to choose the right site and soil for construction. For fire safety purposes, attach bath room straight to the house is undesirable. For building and finishing works high temperature resistant materials should be selected. Building a separate bath is quite expensive, but comfortable and safe.
In order to choose a reliable territory on the site, it is worth conducting a geological survey and proceed from these data when drawing up drawings and laying the foundation.
Let's note the main nuances when choosing a place:
- Most comfortable spot on a hill: yes dirty water will leave the bath by gravity.
- Wet areas with possible groundwater it is better to exclude immediately.
- The distance to the well or the nearest body of water must be at least 5 m.
- The nearest residential building should not be closer than 8 m.
- The bath should be located as far as possible from the toilet (if it is outside) and compost.
The type of soil determines the design of the foundation of the bath. Most often, foundations with a slight depth are used: tape (in areas with sandy soil) and columnar type. Before construction, you need to free the site by digging it from bushes, roots, small stones.
As a rule, a deep foundation is not required for a 6x4 m bath. But in each case, you need to take into account the soil, groundwater and the percentage of soil freezing.
Standards for room sizes
The dimensions of bath windows can be 40x60 or 70x80 cm, the window in the washing room should be placed higher. The front door needs to be made small and low so that the heat does not go outside. It is better to place internal doors perpendicularly to avoid drafts and colds (at a short distance from each other). Ceiling height standards vary minimally: from 2.1 to 2.4 m. The volume of premises can be planned in different ways, it all depends on the needs of the owners and the number of rooms.
steam room
Do not make it too narrow so that the bath does not overheat quickly. Calculate minimum size it’s easy, based on the number of people who can bathe at the same time: 1 m - a seat, 2.2 - a recumbent. Number of seats + space under the stove + a small passage to the shelves. The distance from the oven to the shelves should be at least 20-30 cm. The upper tier - at least 115 cm from the ceiling.
Washing
The optimal volume of the washroom is 1.5x1.5 m. If you allocate a little more space for it, there will be enough space for a shower cabin 1.2x1.2 m and trestle beds.
Restroom
The ratio of the volumes of warm and cool rooms varies at the request of the owners. A variant with a spacious steam room, a shower room and a small dressing room, or with the most spacious rest room and a separate dressing room is possible.
Walls
A significant area of the bath is occupied by walls and piers. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the dimensions of the premises carefully and several times. In practice, there is much less internal space left if the thickness of all partitions and cushioning materials is not taken into account in the drawing.
The choice and location of the furnace
The heating of each room depends on the type and power of the stove. Therefore, it is important to choose the right stove for the desired volume of rooms (especially the steam room). The best materials For sauna stove- brick or metal. The brick oven heats up more slowly, cools down longer, so it takes less fuel. However, it is not easy to fold such a structure; a master stove-maker should do this.
It is easy to make a metal furnace yourself. Enough basic skills to work with a grinder and welding machine. It is better suited for a bath with a small steam room. Furnaces are divided into electric and wood-burning (can be fired with coal, fuel oil or gas). Wood stoves are authentic, but electric stoves are easier to install and maintain.
Most economical option for a bath with a separate sink and steam room - a sauna stove-heater.
If the bath does not provide other heating than the stove, it must be installed so that it heats several rooms at once. The universal layout of the stove is with a door towards the dressing room. Then inside the steam room there will be a heater, and in the washing room - a container with water.
This is the most convenient option to use: the firebox is located in the center of the bath and heats all rooms:
- The highest temperature should be in the steam room.
- A little lower - in a ventilated washroom (in a humid and hot room it is more difficult to breathe, which can be dangerous for people with heart and lung diseases).
- Moderate heating in a cool dressing room.
In addition to the location and dimensions of the premises, it is worth considering in advance interior work. For example, how and how tightly to insulate the walls. The thinner the material, the more internal insulation it requires. A bathhouse made of timber must be laid during construction; interventional insulation is sufficient for a log building. In a brick bath, you should definitely fill the space between the walls of the masonry, you can insulate the outside with plates or foam.
Under no circumstances should Styrofoam be used indoors: it becomes toxic when heated.
Floor insulation is very important. As a base for flooring in the bath use wooden logs or concrete plates overlap. The flooring itself is made of expanded clay, expanded polystyrene, foamed polymers or glass wool.
The distance from the stove to the walls and shelves is important, which depends on the type of stove and the dimensions of the premises.
The chimney can be internal or external. In the Russian bath, internal structures that do not violate the architectural appearance of the building are more popular. It can be assembled from metal, ceramic or brick pipes. At the junction of the pipe and the ceiling impose thermal insulation material, rain protection is installed above the chimney. An insulating plug is placed on the roof.
Interior decoration can be different depending on the needs and tastes of the owners. It helps maintain temperature and prevents burns. The main thing is that the materials are hygienic and heat resistant. For a couple, it is better to give preference hardwood tree. They do not emit resin; conifers are well suited for washing and dressing room. Sunbeds in the steam room, a shower cabin and trestle beds in the washing room are installed based on the calculations of the volume of the premises. Electricity, ventilation and sewerage are brought to the premises at the end of construction.
materials
Before drafting a future bath, it is necessary to decide on the materials for construction. Basic requirements for materials: environmental friendliness, resistance to atmospheric phenomena and temperature extremes. The best choice for a bath - brick or more traditional wood. The choice also depends on the climate of the area and the soil.
It is cheaper to buy material in bulk, after asking about the quality and origin of wood. Before starting construction, all materials must be dried in the sun. The degree of their humidity should not exceed 8%.
wooden bath can be assembled from a finished frame, built from logs or beams. Log sauna does not require additional insulation. The construction of the beams must be laid with a linen cloth after each row, so that the structure is airtight. wooden roof can be covered with a professional sheet, it is also possible with a metal tile.
Brick baths are less common, but more durable and do not require permanent care. The cost of wooden and brick baths is approximately the same. For the construction of walls, red or clay bricks are better suited, for laying furnaces and interior decoration - fireclay. Preferred for windows and doors wooden materials. They are the most reliable and durable.
Another significant advantage of wood is its environmental friendliness. When heated for a long time, it does not emit toxic substances, unlike PVC windows.
Internal organization
With the same dimensions (4x6 or 6x4 m), you can plan the location of partitions, windows and doors in different ways. Before dividing the building with partitions, think over the location of windows and doors. Universal option- the front door in the southern wall (in the south, snow melts first and there are fewer snowdrifts). The windows of the cold rooms face the west, because the bath is more often used in the afternoon, and the sun enters the windows from the western side.
It is better to separate the vestibule and the rest room. This will help avoid drafts. Lounge where you can undress, relax and socialize after taking water procedures, can occupy up to half of the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe bath. Comfortable benches, chairs or stools are placed here. You can even put in the dressing room upholstered furniture, but you need to choose it very carefully, giving preference to a material that is resistant to temperature changes. For a spacious lounge, a sauna stove with a fireplace module is well suited.
What are cottage owners thinking about? country houses? About how nice it would be to put a bathhouse. After all, this is a SPA-salon at your own disposal. What area should be?
It will be crowded in a small one, a large one will quickly cool down and a lot of efforts will have to be made to maintain the microclimate. But the bath 6 × 4 meters is one of the optimal sizes.
Can't be bought
Building your own bathroom? Why not, if there is a talent for the construction business, necessary equipment and a lot of strength. Buy? This option is also good, because you get a ready-made bath complex. But is it really all right?
You yourself will build or order a finished building, you will need a 6 × 4 bath project. We offer several photos with dimensions and internal layout. So you can visually imagine where you and your guests will bathe, where to take a shower, change clothes and relax.
The bath plan can be one, and there are several options for execution, depending on the material for building walls. And if something does not suit you, you can make additions to the project in the form of a veranda or terrace downstairs or an attic upstairs.
Bath layout 6 × 4 meters
What should be in the bath besides the steam room itself and the canopy? Let's forget the dark and cramped village buildings, like bathing rooms. Today, a bath is a place of relaxation, so the plan of a 6x4 bath should be well thought out. What to include in it?
- Steam room. There is a stove here, there are benches with sunbeds. Usually the steam room occupies the second largest room and is usually located in the corner of the building.
- Shower. There is a sink and a steam room separately, otherwise either the steam room will cool down, or the shower will not bring the desired relief.
- The dressing room is a place where you can leave things.
- The rest room is the largest room in terms of area. There are comfortable sofas, armchairs and a table, and a TV. By turning on the fantasy, you can decorate the room with fresh flowers and indoor waterfall.
Rest room inside the bath itself - perfect place for winter fun. And in the summer it will be nice to sit on outdoor terrace, in the off-season - on glazed veranda. It is worth considering this moment and designing a 6 × 4 bath plan with a terrace or veranda. With a photo of such options, we will help.
Would you like to have a swimming pool in addition to standard rooms? The layout of the 6×4 bath can take this into account as well. In this case, you will need a second floor or attic. They can be equipped with locker rooms, a rest room or a shower room, and leave a steam room or pool below. Get inspired by photo ideas.
More about premises
The classic bath 6×4 has three rooms.
Lounge, steam room and shower room
dressing room
Here the guests undress, there are charcoal or firewood for the stove in the boxes, and brooms on the shelves.
To save space, the dressing room is often combined with the guest room, arranging furniture here, installing a TV and other appliances, setting the table.
Ideally, its area is 1.3 sq.m per person + space for storing bath accessories and things.
Important! There should be a window in the rest room.
steam room
There is a stove in the room - natural, gas or electric. Shelves are attached to the walls. Here the requirements are different - at least 1 meter for each + stove + distance from the stove to the walls and passages.
The ideal height is 2-2.1 meters. If the ceilings are higher, the steam will take up extra, unused space. If lower - accumulating, hot air will need an outlet, and it will evaporate into the ventilation. The width of the shelves is 40-90 cm.
Important! The door should not open into the steam room, but from it, that is, into the rest room. Otherwise, there will be high temperature and humidity in the dressing room.
How guests and hosts can steam in the steam room is shown in the diagram below.
shower room
Depending on the size of the room, it is possible to install a shower cabin, toilet, mount the shower in the wall.
The shower room can be heated by the same stove as the steam room (if they have an adjacent wall).
Having chosen the layout, taking into account the necessary premises in the bathhouse and their sizes, you need to decide on the material from which the complex will be built.
A log bath is a classic. And rounded logs are the most popular. Village steam rooms were just built from a log house.
The beauty of such complexes is that wood is a healthy, environmentally friendly material. Such a bath is being built in record time. If the logs are processed mechanically rather than by hand, their cost is low. You can also save on interior decoration The tree itself is beautiful. And for fire safety and resistance to fungi, logs are treated with special solutions.
Disadvantages will appear if the company that volunteered to install the bath did not dry the logs, so after a while the building will “lead” or choose the wrong tree: conifers"cry", the oak can crack from the heat.
A bath from a bar practically does not differ from a log one. wooden beam is also environmentally friendly and, due to its natural aesthetics, does not require either internal or external finishing.
Differences between a bar and a log house in the way the material is processed. The log is round on the cut, and the timber is square. The fit of the timber is more accurate, the material consumption is less, which somewhat reduces the cost of construction.
Bath from modern materials
Yes, wooden baths- it's great, natural and rustic cozy. But along with baths from a log house or from a bar, other materials are also in demand.
- Frame bath. It is still being built in production to fit the material and find out if all the details are taken into account. Then the bath is dismantled and brought to the place of order. The construction is easy, built quickly. It does not require a reinforced foundation. The only negative is that it is undesirable to build a two-story bath or make a bath with an attic, especially residential. And the issue of additional premises will be decided by the plan of the bath with a veranda, which can be glazed and heating equipment installed in it.
- A foam block bath is suitable for cottage plots made in modern style. This is an environmentally friendly material that perfectly saves heat, does not burn, does not smoke and does not emit toxins when heated. For beauty and creating comfort inside the walls can be finished wooden clapboard. Here it is already possible to build a bath-sauna on two floors with an attic or a full-fledged second floor. The internal layout will increase and give more room for imagination: a steam room and a shower room, a relaxation room and a billiard room, a swimming pool, a kitchen, a dressing room and everything that can be accommodated in a 6x4 meter bath.
Each summer resident or owner country estate with a large residential private house, at some point, he begins to think about building his own bathhouse. Going to the steam room brings a lot of pleasure and health benefits.
When erecting a building, it is necessary to take into account many functional, practical, decorative and aesthetic aspects. Future building must meet all requirements and at the same time be reliable, durable and easy to use.
Peculiarities
For comfortable rest and the possibility of carrying out all the necessary bathing procedures, the building must have the following mandatory premises:
- steam room;
- washing;
- rest room.
The optimal size of the bath is 4x6 meters. Such a building will organically look on a small suburban area, at the same time it will allow you to comfortably organize a vacation for a small company of 4-6 people.
The owners of spacious country estates will also be satisfied with the project: the absence of unnecessary details will not affect the quality of relaxation, especially since a small bathhouse keeps heat better and warms up faster.
The presence of separate steam rooms and washing rooms help to solve many functional issues.
- Firstly, the separation of these two zones is reasonable, since the washing room does not need high temperatures, while the steam room can be quickly and efficiently heated to the required state. A similar situation develops with excessive humidity in the steam room from the immediate vicinity of the washing room. It is important to consider that too humid air at high temperatures is much worse tolerated by the human body.
- Secondly, it becomes possible to install a pouring bucket with an invigorating cold water, which will not heat up from the heat from the steam room.
- Thirdly, staying in the baths at the same time for men and women will be much more comfortable with separate rooms.
Projects
Before proceeding with the construction of a bath 4 by 6 meters, it is necessary to choose the most optimal design that meets the requirements of the future owner. There are many options for drawings and schemes of buildings that can satisfy the most demanding taste.
In order to correctly select a construction project, it is necessary to understand the possible functionality. A lighter version of the building can be summer bath , which will include a minimum of premises (recreation area, steam room, washing room).
If the bath will be used all year round, it makes sense to provide a toilet, as well as a small dressing room or vestibule, which will protect the heated space from cold air from the street.
If a project is selected for a commercial purpose (for example, for a tourist base), then it is better to take care of a spacious lounge so that all guests can comfortably sit at the table after visiting the steam room. It is worth choosing a project with a separate firebox in order to control the process of heating the bath and not interfere with the rest.
A small terrace will give guests the opportunity to go out for a breath of fresh air or wipe off the snow.
A veranda or terrace (especially in summer) easily replaces a recreation area. If it is possible to close the windows of the veranda, then you can use the space of the room even in the cool season, and Mosquito nets get rid of annoying insects. Projects with summer premises will help save the future owner on interior decoration, as well as heat and waterproofing.
Plan your placement wisely interior partitions inside the bath, correctly set priorities will help. If the future owner intends to often invite guests to "take a steam bath", then it would be most appropriate to choose a project with a spacious lounge.
In this case, the steam room, as a rule, is visited by only a part of the guests at a time, while the gatherings at the table are held with the participation of everyone. The sink should also not be made too large - you can limit yourself to a space for a shower and a place where you can wipe yourself with a towel and put on a bathrobe.
In the case when the future bath will be intended for a family stay, and also used in economic purposes(washing clothes), then the washing unit should be spacious and comfortable for several people to stay at once.
The shower cabin is replaced with taps with cold and hot water, basins and benches.
You can correctly plan the space on the site and have a large comfortable bath of 6x4 meters if you replace the terrace with a small porch. This will provide a comfortable exit to fresh air, as well as give a finished look to the structure.
Premises sequence
Proper space planning plays an important role. The first room you enter is the vestibule. It protects the rest of the rooms from the entry of cold air, they also leave here outerwear and undress. This room should not be large: 2-2.5 square meters. m. will be enough.
From the vestibule, most often, the door leads to a rest room, which is equipped with a table, chairs or benches. Often this room is not heated, but remains warm due to the heat from the steam room.
There are projects in which from the rest room it is possible to get directly into the steam room, while a separate door leads to the washing room. But only in a purely Russian traditional bath, the steam room is the heart of the whole structure, and you can get into it only from the sink.
materials
Currently, there are a huge number of materials from which you can build a bath. In order not to make a mistake with the choice, you should weigh the pros and cons of each type.
Log bath
Traditionally, a bathhouse in Rus' was built exclusively from a log house. Now such buildings are highly valued, as natural material is environmentally friendly, has therapeutic properties and has a beneficial effect on the human body.
Consider the advantages log baths:
- retain heat well and heat up quickly;
- environmentally friendly material is safe for human health;
- log buildings have a low level of shrinkage;
- chopped baths have good sound insulation;
- due to the fact that for the construction it is enough to erect strip foundation (wooden frame- enough lightweight design), you can save a considerable amount and time;
- wood has natural ventilation, such a bath is considered "breathing";
- you can buy a ready-made log house and save time and energy for the construction of the structure;
- log bath has excellent decorative properties and looks great on a suburban area;
- wood resin, which is released from the heating of the room, smells good, which creates a special atmosphere inside the building.
However, log baths also have their drawbacks, which should be taken into account during construction:
- wood material is highly flammable and supports combustion, therefore there is an increased risk of fire, fire safety precautions should be observed during construction and operation;
- wood absorbs everything excess moisture and evaporation, because of this, the material may begin to rot, mold and fungus will form on it (special impregnations and antiseptics that treat wood during the construction phase will help prevent unwanted processes);
- seams are formed between the logs, which must be sealed to avoid heat loss.
Bath on the basis of the frame
Buildings erected according to frame technology.
Houses and baths on the frame have become widespread due to the obvious advantages of such structures:
- for light frame construction, no foundation is required, which saves a large number of time, effort and Money(the frame is installed directly on the piles);
- the absence of a foundation makes the structure stable in the event of seismic vibrations;
- baths and houses made using frame technology are environmentally friendly and safe for humans;
- it is possible to build an object at low temperatures (up to 15 degrees below zero);
- you can heat the bath immediately after the completion of the construction;
- the building keeps heat well and heats up quickly, while the material is able to "breathe" (perfectly passes and releases air);
- the building can be erected even alone.
At frame bath there are also disadvantages:
- finishing, insulation, waterproofing will require a lot of investment, since the use of cheap and low-quality materials can be harmful to health (with strong heating, toxic volatile substances are released, moreover, inexpensive foam plastic is highly flammable, and affordable mineral wool may not have the necessary properties that retain heat);
- the foundation of the frame building shrinks (up to 10 cm in 2 years).
brick bath
You don't see a bath like this very often. However given material quite suitable for the construction of this building.
Consider all the pros and cons in order to assess the rationality of the choice in favor of a brick. Virtues brick bath are:
- resistance to mechanical damage;
- the building will serve for more than a dozen years;
- heat-resistant material does not burn and does not support fire, and therefore the construction of a bath is safe even at a short distance from residential buildings;
- the brick does not absorb moisture, does not rot, mold does not form on it and inside;
- the material retains and gives off heat for a long time;
- a brick bath is easy to build, even if the project involves complex architectural elements;
- any brick building looks fundamental and attractive.
However, such baths have a number of disadvantages that make the construction of brick baths unpopular:
- the material is very expensive;
- a reinforced foundation is required for the construction;
- a brick bath heats up for a very long time, it is necessary to spend a lot of time and fuel to create the necessary microclimate;
- inside it is necessary to make finishing and thermal insulation.
It is easy to scatter a pencil over a sheet when your plans include a 9 by 10 meter bath - there is where to turn around to the attic and even to the kitchen. Everything is much more complicated when you have only 12 squares and you need to fit everything you need, not forgetting about the oven.
Although everything is possible, as the diagrams in the article show. It is only important to approach the entire design process very precisely.
First, decide what is needed in the first place, since the list will be small.
These are only 3 rooms, as you can see in project "A":
- , but, as will be seen later, they can be sacrificed;
- washing - only a bench is indicated here, not even a canopy;
- steam room - note that from the steam room there is a small window 40 cm wide.
Secondly, analyze what you have received and decide what can be improved further. In this project, the absence of a furnace or boiler in the bath is immediately striking.
Helpful advice! Please note that when you order a bath project from a contractor, by default, it is understood that you will deal with the method of providing heat yourself. The firm can, at your insistence, offer its options, can listen and even implement your proposals.
But if you are going to order a turnkey bath and go somewhere to Kamchatka without controlling the progress of the work, you will most likely get a log cabin. You will already have to deal with the heating method separately, which may turn out to be very unexpected and unpleasant. Do not forget about this widespread practice of builders.
And, thirdly, before even embarking on such a project, we advise you to familiarize yourself with the existing world achievements in this area. After all, there are a lot of projects of baths, even more than that, their concepts.
Possible principal approaches
All baths can be divided into three groups:
- the first includes baths, the main method of heating in which is dry steam. In such, the highest air temperature is from 60 to 120 degrees, but very little humidity is about 25%;
- in the second, the so-called raw baths- they are already dominated by steam, which at a temperature of 50-70 degrees provides humidity from 75 to 100%;
- in the third - water baths. Here already with might and main "hosts" the water.
Among these three groups and the following options for baths from world experience are placed:
- Roman bath, as a combination of five rooms passing into each other. The first can be called in our opinion, a dressing room (although the idea comes from the ancient Romans). The second is “warm”, in which the temperature rises. The third is “hot”, here the temperature is even higher. The fourth is already a steam room (as established, the Romans had a temperature of at least 85 degrees in it). And the fifth is unloading, aromatic.
- Irish bath. It is very similar to the Roman one, but if the one is of a “consecutive” type - the rooms go one after another, then in the Irish all the rooms open onto a common corridor, there are usually three of them, and, leaving one, the visitor can immediately follow to the next, hotter one. . Well, or refuse to continue the procedures.
- Russian bath . Here everything is familiar to us and the project “A” presented above good example such a bath is a dressing room, and to it is a washing and steam room. The steam room has a stove.
- Finnish bath, also called sauna. There is only one room here, but with high temperature air and low humidity.
- Japanese bath - ofuro. According to our concepts, such a bath cannot be called this respected word - it's just a barrel with hot water (up to 60 degrees) and healing herbs. Few people manage to sit in such a "room" for more than 10 minutes.
- . Such baths belong to the group of wet ones and are well suited for those who do not like high temperatures. The main element of such a bath is a large pool with hot water. Before entering this pool, the visitor enters several others with colder water. hallmark Turkish baths is a very well-chosen and strictly maintained temperature in all rooms.
Helpful advice! Before proceeding with the construction of a bath, we advise you to carefully consider the choice of its location on the site.
- Firstly, to locate the bath no closer than 15 meters from the main residential building, these are safety requirements.
- Secondly, if possible, as close to the reservoir as possible.
- And, thirdly, on a proven, not prone to moisture collection (they say - not heaving) soil. If you are unlucky and the soil is heaving, then the best way out of this situation would be to remove it to a depth of one and a half meters and replace it with a well-compacted sand and gravel mixture. In any case, the bath will have to be put on piles.
More projects
Project "A"
Here we note the following nuances:
- almost half of the entire area is occupied by a dressing room;
- in the washing room there is no canopy, but only a bench;
- the canopy is not provided in the steam room;
- from the washing and steam room there are small windows 40 by 40 cm, if this is a common thing for a washing room, then a window in the steam room is often not provided;
- most importantly, this project does not indicate the location of the boiler;
- Another disadvantage is the lack of indication on the diagram of the location of the drain hole.
Project B
The features of this project are immediately evident:
- entrance from the street directly to the washing room - a good option if it is necessary to “squeeze” the maximum possible out of the available area; but this option forces to turn Special attention for insulation front door, which can cause difficulties in the cold season;
- everything is in order with the canopies both in the washing room and in the steam room - this is due to the rejection of the dressing room;
- on the other hand, the inner door and the window from the washing room seem too large;
- the stove is located in the steam room, but it is controlled from the washing room, which must be recognized as a very reasonable choice;
- as opposed to perhaps setting forced ventilation in the steam room, this is already superfluous, it is more logical to transfer it to the washing room;
- as a drawback, we note also the absence of an indication on the diagram of the point of discharge of waste water.
Project "C"
A simple project of a familiar, native Russian bath. Here:
- half of the entire area is given over to a rest room - a dressing room;
- the washing room was replaced with a shower room, although there are always opportunities to change this decision;
- the steam room is almost twice as large as the shower room;
- there is no window from the steam room, but large window from the dressing room - more than a meter wide;
- unfortunately, the project also does not indicate the location of the furnace and the point of water drain.
Project D
Here, perhaps, everything can be considered ideal:
- the entire area is allotted for "business" - there is no dressing room;
- there is a stove for a steam room, but the control is from the washing room, which means that she will also get heat;
- both in the washing room and in the steam room there are beautiful canopies, and in the steam room on three levels;
- small, and therefore confidently keeping warm doors;
- of the shortcomings, we note two: again, the drain point is not visible and the stove is located behind the wall from the washing room, and these are overhead costs for the wall material and heat loss for the washing room.
conclusions
As you can see, even with an area of only 12 sq.m, they are able to awaken the imagination. Choose from the available projects the one that you like.
Make your own adjustments and be sure to coordinate the project with the location on the site. Do not forget about the drainage system and in no case do it under the foundation.
look additional video in this article, pick up a few photos as a keepsake, it will not be difficult for you to make your choice if you have no more than a 3x4 bath plan and the price for this whole idea in your head.
The main task in the construction of a bath is to create a structure that will keep heat well. For these purposes, a profiled beam with a fairly low thermal conductivity is well suited.
In practice, the layout of a 4x4 bath is very clear and uncomplicated, so the construction of such a structure does not take much time. The entire internal area of the bath is divided by an elegant partition into two functional halves. In one part there is a rest room, and the entrance to the bath itself. In the second half, which is separated by an additional partition, there is a soap and steam area, which has the same area. A simple layout of a 4x4 bathhouse photo shows that it has two internal doors- one leads to the soap room from the relaxation room, and the other separates the steam room.
The bathhouse has natural lighting – there is a winter double-leaf window in the relaxation room, and a window opens in the steam room. One-piece profiled beam is able to provide a tight connection individual elements between themselves. For additional compaction and elimination of shrinkage, flax-jute material is placed between the individual crowns. The bathhouse also has a 1.5 meter ridge, which forms an additional room in the form of an attic, which will additionally serve as thermal insulation for such a bathhouse. The log cabin of the bath is treated with an antiseptic that prevents damage to wood. During this treatment, the wood acquires color and protection. Inside the bath room is sheathed with clapboard, dried chamber method, and the steam room itself is finished with aspen panels. According to its properties, such a tree corresponds to rooms with high humidity and temperatures.
Bath 5x5
This layout of the 5x5 bath meets all the requirements that apply to such premises. The steam room of such a bath is also finished with aspen clapboard, which is moisture resistant and evenly distributes heat in the room, and also does not emit tar.
Heat-reflecting foil is laid under the clapboard, which helps to accelerate heating and maintain temperature. The rest room and soap room are finished with pine clapboard, which contributes to easy breathing. In a 5x5 bath, thermal insulation of a soapy and rest room is provided. Insulation applies not only to walls, but also to the ceiling, as well as to the frame-panel partition. There is a drain in the floor of the soap room, while the floor in the rest room is made in a double version.
Bath project 3x6 and 6x4
This layout of the 3x6 bath suggests the presence of a modern wood stove VPK, which is built into the partition between the steam room and the relaxation room. The design of such a furnace involves the location of the firebox in the soap room, and the heater in the steam room. The heater is heated by flue carbon monoxide gases that exit the furnace through a special steel sheet.
The heating temperature of the steam room is about 120 degrees, which makes it possible to get a Finnish sauna. An external tank is hung on the partition of the soap room, the capacity of which is 45 liters, and the material is stainless steel. The body of the heat exchanger is rigidly fixed on the side of the furnace. Water circulation between the remote tank and the heat exchanger occurs through a pipeline.
In practice, the layout of the 6x4 bath involves window blocks medium sizes. Internal door blocks are an array using wedge keys. This door design is considered the best, because it keeps the linear dimensions under the influence of high temperature indicators. A wooden bath belongs to the class of fire hazardous buildings, but the project requires compliance with fire safety standards.
According to statistics, chimneys are the source of fires in solid wood baths. Bath 6x4 layout, the photo of which is presented, involves the use of a coaxial pipe, which has a double design.
Baths 3x3
Before starting the construction of the bath, it is necessary to make a detailed layout of the future structure. Based on such ready plan, it is much easier to calculate the amount of necessary building materials and the final cost of such an object.
The classic layout of the 3x3 bath is a square building, which is divided into three compartments. Inside such a bath there is a dressing room in the form of a dressing room, washing department with a steam room and a place to relax. The available space between the two provided walls of the chimney is filled with expanded clay, which is a good heat insulator. The pipe of this bath 3x3 is displayed on the roof. The roof can be made from various materials, but the most popular option is ondulin.
The frame of the bath is sheathed edged boards, which allows you to get a spacious summer lounge in which you can equip a dressing room. In order to make it warmer in such a room in winter, the metal stove is turned with its front part in its direction. In general, it turns out a rest room and a dressing room, as well as a washing room and a steam room. The presented layout of the bath with dimensions of 3x3 meters has an arrangement of rooms that can be changed at the discretion of customers. Meanwhile, it is not recommended to change the location of the furnace, since its incorrect installation can lead to high fuel consumption and an increase in the heating time itself.
Bath project 5x4
In practice, the layout of the 5x4 bath is the most the best option such a building. Firstly, such a bathhouse can become the first capital structure on a newly acquired summer cottage, and will completely replace a temporary home. Secondly, a well-thought-out layout can allow not only to wash and steam, but also to relax in a fairly spacious room.
However, it should be noted that the layout of the 5x4 bath photo, which is presented, will require considerable financial costs and construction time. In practice, it is possible to significantly reduce the time for the construction of such a structure by using dry lumber. Thoroughly dried wood can shrink the log house by less than 1%. In practice, this means that windows and doors, as well as a stove and other necessary equipment, are immediately installed on the erected walls.
