The partition between the washing and steaming compartments of the bath can be made in several ways. The most common option is the manufacture of a wooden frame; in second place is a solid timber partition, the manufacture of which is quite expensive. And the last way to separate two rooms involves arranging a solid brick wall half a brick thick.
We will consider a frame partition made of wood as the easiest to manufacture. Metal racks are also used as the basis of the frame partition, but this option is used much less frequently, since the metal is prone to destruction under prolonged exposure to high humidity.
A wooden partition is made quickly enough and does not require large financial and labor costs, in comparison with solid walls made of timber or brick. At the same time, the air space in the voids between the frame elements causes condensation to form at the points of temperature difference between the heated steam room and the colder air inside the partition.
In the diagram, PO is the steam room, MO is the washing department.
An important question when choosing the type of partition is to insulate it or not? Here again we can return to the comparison different types pier. In front of a solid partition made of timber, brick or block, this question does not arise at all. The dense material of such walls itself will sufficiently protect the washing compartment from overheating. At the same time, it does not have high enough thermal insulation properties to prevent heat from leaking into the washing room at all.
How to make a partition with your own hands?
First of all, it is made wooden frame, during the arrangement of which Special attention you need to pay attention to its attachment to the walls. This is important when the bathhouse is made of fresh timber or logs. These types of buildings inevitably shrink over time, which must be taken into account when creating any internal partitions.
The partition in the photo above is installed on the walls using special metal fasteners designed to create a so-called “sliding partition”. The corner is fixed motionless on the partition block, and installation to the log house wall is carried out using stainless steel screws so that they can move inside the vertical fastening groove.
An alternative would be to install a wooden sliding structure, without the use of metal corners.
The partition is fixed to the ceiling metal fastening with vertical grooves. By analogy with wall corners, stainless steel screws are screwed into them, which over time will move along these grooves.
A foil vapor barrier on kraft paper is laid on top of the wooden frame on the steam room side. All joints of the material are sealed with foil tape. There should be no unclosed holes or damage in the vapor barrier layer to prevent moisture from penetrating into the wall.
As you can see in the photo, the surface of the wall near the floor has a small plinth made of tiles. The tiles are mounted on top of SML or DSP boards using special glue. The slabs are attached directly to the frame or to a sliding structure if there are abutments to the walls of the log house.
Installation is being carried out on the sheathing finishing partitions on the side of the steam room, in this case it is lining.
An important point is where the walls meet the floor. Here you need to carefully ensure that the vapor barrier layer is continuous.
To insulate or not?
Regarding this, it is worth saying that here you should look at the circumstances, taking into account the characteristics of a particular bathhouse. First of all, you need to determine how much the washing room needs to be warmed up. If the bathhouse design has a washing room around the perimeter external walls has good thermal protection or a brick shield or part is placed in the wall between the washing room and the steam room brick oven steam room, it is obvious that the washing compartment does not need additional heating.
If there is no need to additionally heat the washing room, thermal insulation can be placed in the frame between it and the steam room. This will make it possible to retain more heat in the steam room, as a result of which it will warm up faster and cool down more slowly. In addition, the use of an insulated partition guarantees protection of the sink from overheating, which often happens in bathhouses that have good thermal insulation external walls of the structure.
IN general case There is no insulation in the partition. The fact is that the insulation in the space between the wet steam room and the wet washing room will inevitably collect moisture. The peculiarity of the heat-protective material made of basalt wool is that on one side it must be able to evaporate moisture from its surface. That is, it will be necessary either on the side of the steam room or on the side of the washing compartment not to protect the wall with a sealed vapor barrier.
In the bathhouse, both the washing room and the steam room have high humidity and in each of these rooms, as a rule, a vapor-proof film is installed to protect the wooden frame from large quantity moisture in the air of both compartments. If there are mineral wool slabs in the wall, then even if a sealed protection from moisture is created on both sides, they will still collect moisture, and there is nowhere to evaporate it.
The only acceptable option for installing thermal protection in a partition is to make special openings for ventilation with the arrangement of ventilation gaps. The holes are made not in the walls, but at the ends of the frame.
Thus, we can conclude that if sufficient thermal insulation of the washroom from overheating is needed, you should install a solid partition made of timber or thick boards without cracks and free space inside the wall. This design will allow you to isolate the washing room from the active heat coming from the steam room and will not create the danger of excessive condensation.
The lack of insulation in the wall in most bathhouse buildings is rather a necessity. This is due to the fact that it is the steam room that actively warms up the entire building and the washing room needs heat no less than other rooms, but rather even more. The wash compartment, as a rule, is colder than we would like, and the heat coming from the steam room just compensates for this shortcoming.
If you bought a bathhouse project or drew it yourself with your own hands, then most likely you thought about the layout of the rooms (layout). The number of partitions, of course, depends on the number of rooms. There are at least two of them in the bathhouse: a steam room and a washing room. Partitions can be made immediately during the construction of the log frame from the same material as the walls (timber, logs, brick). But you need to keep in mind that such a partition requires a foundation the same as for the main walls, which in turn will lead to a significant increase in the cost of the bathhouse. The process of erecting such a partition is no different from erecting walls. 
After construction, such partitions must be well caulked for better noise and heat insulation, and openings can be cut only after the entire frame has settled. If a rounded log or laminated veneer lumber is used to build a partition, then such a wall does not require additional interior finishing. 
The easiest and most inexpensive way to make partitions in a bathhouse with your own hands is to use frame construction technology. To do this, you need to purchase 50 by 100 mm bars for the frame itself, insulation based on stone-mineral wool, vapor barrier and the actual finishing material, such as lining. Before installing the partition, the floors in the bathhouse must already be done. We mark the location of the wall on the floor and fasten to the floor with long screws (102 mm) or nails (120 mm) the bottom block on which the vertical bars will rest. 
We nail or screw a vertical post to the wall level on one and the other side of the wall, leaving a gap of five centimeters at the top for the top bar. We place the top beam on the vertical bars and fasten it to ceiling beams self-tapping screws. In this way, in the future, when installing the following vertical racks, we don’t have to constantly monitor the verticality of the wall, but simply attach the racks to the upper and lower beams. 
Now we mount the vertical beams of the door opening and fasten them with galvanized corners. The following vertical beams must be placed at a distance of one centimeter less than the width of the insulation for a tighter fit. Standard insulation has dimensions of 60 cm by 100 cm, which means that the distance between the beams must be 59 cm. A larger distance between the beams should not be made, as this will reduce the strength of the partition. Vertical beams can be attached to the top beam using galvanized metal corners or using 150 mm nails. To avoid cracking of the timber when fastening it with a screw or nail, it must be drilled with a drill with a diameter equal to the diameter of the fastener (screw or nail). 
After installing the frame, we tightly stretch the vapor barrier on one side of the wall and make a lathing for installing lining or other finishing material, such as drywall. For sheathing, a clapboard sawn lengthwise or an edged board sawn lengthwise is suitable. A width of five centimeters is quite enough for a sheathing bar. Now you can lay the insulation, in this case 10 cm thick, or in two layers of 5 cm, but in this case it is necessary to cover the joints. When installing insulation in a bathhouse with your own hands, you must use personal protective equipment and a respirator. We cover the insulation with a vapor barrier and make a sheathing. You should not use oilcloth or cellophane instead of a vapor barrier, as this can lead to the insulation getting wet from condensation that will form in the bathhouse due to temperature changes. The side of the partition that is located in the washing room can be sheathed with moisture-resistant plasterboard and ceramic tiles or mosaics can be placed on it. On the steam room side, the partition must be sheathed with clapboard not made of coniferous species wood, as it contains a lot of resin. For finishing the steam room in suitable for a bath lining made of linden or abasha. 
For a rest room, a regular pine lining or a House block is suitable. Sometimes the walls in the steam room are additionally covered with foil material, but this is only necessary for longer heat retention. If you caulk well and insulate the outside of the bathhouse yourself, with your own hands, then the heat will not go anywhere for a long time, and the wood will “breathe” better.
It is better to make part of the partition in the bathhouse near the stove out of brick. 
To do this you need to fill concrete base, which you can do with your own hands wooden beams. A wall thickness of half a brick will be sufficient. When laying bricks, you need to pay attention to the vertical and horizontal lines of the wall. Completely make brick walls in wooden bath not worth it. This is a high cost of material and such a wall requires a full foundation.
Wooden partitions easily accommodate all necessary communications: electrical wiring, water pipes. Partitions in a wooden bath should be made of natural material, such as a tree.
At all times, the partition in the bathhouse between the steam room and the sink was the element without which the entire ritual of bathing would turn into something more ordinary. Its installation is carried out on different stages. You can make a partition both during the construction of the bathhouse itself, integrating it into the overall project, and during the reconstruction period.
Brick wall and its insulation
In a brick bathhouse, the partition can be laid out from the base material. But it is necessary to take into account that brick has a fairly high heat capacity and a high heat transfer coefficient. This means that the partition itself inside the bathhouse will be constantly hot (it’s easy to get burned) and the heat loss in the steam room will also be impressive. Therefore, the structure should be insulated as much as possible.
On the steam room side, the partition will need to be sheathed with a vapor barrier, and a material with low thermal conductivity will be laid on top of it. This could be wood cladding. hardwood. To secure it in the upper and lower parts of the partition, it is recommended to install wooden blocks.
First, using a hammer drill, make holes in the walls along the line of the intended fastening, then mount the bars, securing them with anchors. The space between them is filled with a heat insulator, on top of which a reflective screen for infrared rays can be placed. This could be foil or a special material. After this, we cover the wall with clapboard. Resinous wood (coniferous species) should not be used in a steam room: when heated and under the influence of moist air, phytoncides begin to be released from it. For an absolutely healthy person, this will only be beneficial, but with the slightest allergy, such a substance can cause an exacerbation of the disease.
It is recommended to finish the part of the wall that borders the sink with any moisture-resistant material. It could be plaster ceramic tile, textured or structural plaster or the same wood, impregnated with an antiseptic and coated with several layers of varnish.
Wall in a wooden bath
Modern baths are rarely made of brick: natural wood is increasingly used in construction. It's practical and not expensive. In such a bathhouse, make a partition with your own hands frame type can be done with minimal costs and to install it you will need:
- wooden blocks;
- insulation and vapor barrier;
- edged board;
- hacksaw;
- hammer and nails (finishing);
- skirting boards (preferably wooden);
- hammer drill and pieces of reinforcement;
- roulette;
- building level.
First, make markings in the upper and lower parts of the bathhouse, along which the partition will be installed in the future. Make sure that both lines are in the same plane, perpendicular to the floor. You can ideally make markup using laser level, but even the usual plumb line in in capable hands will allow you to do everything accurately. Try to take measurements at several points and at different heights. Once you are sure of the accuracy of the markings, you can place wooden blocks along the perimeter along the existing lines, securing them to the walls, ceiling and floor. They are secured on top either with nails or anchors. In the lower part, it is recommended to place it on reinforcement studs, which are pressed into the concrete floor or load-bearing beam.
Part of the partition in the bathhouse from the side washing department you can sew it up right away edged board. And then you need to fill the space between the wooden walls (the width of the block) with hydro and vapor barrier, insulation. The named materials must be placed in the sequence described above towards the sink. This will ensure their protection from moisture and vapors. Most craftsmen suggest laying hydro and vapor insulators on both sides of the insulation. It will cost more money, but you will have much greater confidence in the durability of the partition in the bathhouse.
On last stage you have to sew up part of the partition on the steam room side. The same lining made of hardwood is used here. All that remains is to mount the baseboards, treat the material with a layer of antiseptic, and the partition between the steam room and the sink is ready.
The door is installed during installation.
It is advisable to use the door in a low version, this way you will reduce heat loss inside the steam room and provide a comfortable microclimate in the washing compartment of the bathhouse.
When constructing a private bathhouse, it is necessary to take into account many nuances, norms and standards that determine the specifics of the installation of a wide variety of functional elements of the structure. The article will discuss how to make partitions in a bathhouse with your own hands, so that the bathhouse is not only effective and comfortable, but also safe to use.
Creating partitions in the bathhouse
It is important to create internal walls in a building not only in compliance with the style that was chosen for interior decoration, but also taking into account the placement load-bearing walls. The material used during their installation (laying) also plays a critical role in determining the performance characteristics.
When choosing a material, many questions most often arise, but in fact, the determining factor is the location of the walls that will be created from this material.
The most popular materials are:
There are many features during the installation process. For example, the partition in the bathhouse near the stove is made of concrete or laid in brick. At the same time, the steam room is separated by a wooden wall.
Features of the walls in a chopped wooden bathhouse
Chopped baths are installed from the wood of the most different breeds. Such structures are assembled using frame-panel technology (read: “How to make panel bath– from the foundation to the roof”). Experts strongly do not recommend laying brick partitions in wooden baths. This is especially true for those baths that will rarely be heated.
The degree of thermal conductivity of wood and brick varies, and therefore it will be very difficult to heat a bathhouse with brick partitions, especially in cases where it is frosty outside. The partition does not have to be solid. It can be assembled from several materials, but it should be taken into account that it will be very difficult to fasten elements with different sections together.
As you know, everything is learned by comparison, but in fact, a brick partition in a wooden bathhouse has worse performance characteristics than one built using frame technology.
What walls go with a stone bath
In bathhouses built of brick, the same material is not always a guaranteed solution to the problem. Experts say that frame partitions in a brick bathhouse are ideal. The advantage of this combination of materials is that the brick collects condensation, for which it will be necessary to equip a moisture removal system.
But at the same time, the wood frame will be protected from moisture. IN Lately magnesite slabs have become much more popular than regular board. The same material can be used in a wooden bathhouse.
Description of frame partitions for baths
If we are talking about what kind of partition in a brick bathhouse can be used, then the most popular option would be a frame internal wall. Its frame is assembled from well-dried wooden beams measuring 5x5 centimeters (standard). In the voids between the elements of such a structure is laid thermal insulation material. Typically, mineral wool or foam boards are used as insulation.
We must not forget that the insulation must be reliably protected from moisture. To do this, it is carefully covered with polyethylene. You can also use special membranes with waterproofing properties, which in their characteristics are several steps ahead of polyethylene, but their cost is corresponding.
After the frame is insulated, it is necessary to cover it using dried boards with a thickness of 2 centimeters. A foil layer is fixed on top of these boards. Can be used at work construction stapler. Foil is the determining layer in the matter of thermal energy conservation. To be more precise, it will redirect thermal radiation inside the bath. Penofol and a number of other materials that can be used instead of foil have a similar effect.
The last stage of work is decorative finishing frame partition. Traditionally, lining is used for these purposes. Most comfortable conditions You can create a bathhouse by finishing it with aspen or linden lining. This choice in favor of deciduous trees is quite natural, because they do not release resin when heated.
For installation of the lining, slats are packed in the form of a standard sheathing. All wooden elements frame structure must be treated with antiseptic agents. Without this condition, it is simply impossible to hope that wood will last long under the influence of moisture. If you do not take care of the optimal protection of wood, then soon fungus and mold will appear on it.
Structurally, such a partition is a cake made of building materials, which from the outside looks aesthetically pleasing in the photo and upon visual inspection.
Distinctive features of the frame partition:
- increased strength;
- high level of sound insulation.
As practice shows, a frame partition provides high temperature in the bathhouse and maximum comfort for visitors. If a partition is installed between the steam room and the sink, then the thermal insulation materials must be of the highest quality and should be installed sparingly. By creating partitions between the steam room and technical rooms, you can install a simpler structure.
The design is simplified due to the fact that it is assembled from boards with a thickness of 4 centimeters or well-dried bars. The frame is covered with clapboard, and each gap is insulated using penoplex, which ensures highest level thermal insulation.
Rules for thermal insulation of partitions
When creating partitions in a bathhouse with your own hands, it is important to take care of preserving the maximum amount of thermal energy inside the room. A competent procedure for thermal insulation of the entire structure will allow you to cope with this.
Brick partitions are most often finished with modern insulation boards using the following fasteners:
Typically, the installation of partitions ends with a slight gap remaining, which is filled mineral wool.
As for how to make partitions in a bathhouse using frame technology, you need to take into account a number of nuances. The main one is increased thermal conductivity, which causes low resistance of wood to stress.
Directly inside the bathhouse, the walls are insulated using mineral wool, on which thermal insulation material is additionally laid. For this purpose, jute or reed slabs are usually used. The facing material in this case is multi-colored lining. The material looks aesthetically pleasing and looks original, both in the photo and during visual inspection.
The insulation itself just needs to be laid very carefully so that there are no gaps or bulges, which will make the surface more airtight. However, even with the most correct installation procedure, it must be taken into account that the bath microclimate will gradually destroy the structure.
Whatever the partition between the steam room and the washing room or other rooms, high humidity will constantly affect it and this effect will be negative. The maximum service life of materials can be increased by correct installation waterproofing materials. The waterproofing layer is laid before installation finishing materials. Usually as waterproofing material Foil or kraft paper is used.
Under no circumstances should roofing felt be used in the partition structure. Although this material is a good protection against moisture, when heated it begins to release various harmful substances, negatively affecting the human body.
If you process brick partitions in a bathhouse near the stove, then reflective material must be attached to them, which will be directed towards the room. This will allow more thermal energy to be concentrated in the building. Between the waterproofing layer and finishing cladding The partitions must have a ventilation gap of 15 centimeters thick.
Unique building material – magnesite slabs
Magnesite plate is an excellent material, the use of which in the construction of partitions is due to a number of positive qualities:
- fire resistance;
- water resistance;
- ease of installation work;
- low cost.
The production of the material is based on perlite and cellulose. The slabs are mounted on profiles that are fixed vertically. At the ends of the slabs, thermal insulation material is placed in the joints, covered with a waterproofing layer or impregnated with special substances to increase water resistance. Finishing can be done using lining or other finishing materials.
No one forbids creating partitions without laying a middle layer of insulation. A double board is used. It is important to achieve a total thickness of both rows of the partition of at least 3 centimeters. Thermal insulation functions will be performed by an air gap between two rows of boards.
Installation is carried out as follows:
- a frame is assembled from profiles;
- inside it is filled with magnesite plates;
- polyethylene or foil material is applied as an additional protective layer;
- at the end, the entire structure is covered with clapboard.
If we make the partitions ourselves in the bathhouse near the stove or next to other rooms, we will be able to make sure that all the proposed action algorithms, criteria for choosing materials and practical advice determine the achievement of excellent results.
Also, all stages of the work can be entrusted to specialists who will take responsibility not only for installation, but also for the selection of the necessary materials, as well as the subsequent commissioning of the bathhouse premises.

How to make a partition in a bathhouse?
A bathhouse is a building in which a person relaxes. It may consist of several rooms (steam room, small room, wardrobe, bathroom, shower). If the bathhouse is being built anew, then all rooms are separated at once.
In the case when the bathhouse is made indoors, and you need to divide the room into a steam room and a room, then it is necessary to install partitions. The material for the partition can be processed timber.
How to make partitions in a bathhouse?
Partitions in the bathhouse are made to separate the rooms according to their intended purpose. The steam room is separated from the main relaxation room, as well as a wardrobe and a bathroom. Partitions can be done from wooden beams, bricks, metal profiles.
The most reliable material for partitions is a brick. Such partitions have high strength and resistance to mechanical loads. The only difficulty when laying brick partitions is stirring the mortar, preparing the bricks, and plastering the surface.
So this way turns into labor-intensive work. In addition, after installing the partition, it takes time for the solution to set firmly until it dries completely.
The most common way to install a partition in a bathhouse is wooden beam . A frame made of timber will allow you to quickly mount the base of the partition. Frame jumpers are installed every 50 cm.
First, install the guide beam at the top and bottom, and then attach the jumpers. Space between beams filled with insulation(basalt wool, mineral wool), then lay a layer of foil reflector. After installing the insulation elements, the frame is sewn up wooden clapboard from deciduous wood (linden, aspen, cedar).
How to insulate a partition in a bathhouse?
Insulation of bathhouse walls is an integral element of the design of partitions and walls. Bath insulation necessary to maintain existing temperature regime in the steam room.
As insulation acts rolled elements of mineral wool, basalt wool, polystyrene foam squares, polyurethane foam rectangular slabs.
The most reliable insulation for internal partitions of a bathhouse is polyurethane foam. It is, accordingly, the most expensive. It contains a two-component substance that allows maximum retention of heat in the room and prevents the entry of cold from the external environment.
The cheapest method of insulation The partition in the bathhouse is mineral wool. It is sold in rolls and fits tightly between the partitions. Mineral wool is not very suitable for rooms with high humidity. More often they use ecowool with a special coating.
Also used for vapor barrier foil mineral wool, which is laid on the insulation and attached to the frame.
How to treat a partition in a bath?
After the construction of the bathhouse, it becomes necessary to treat with protective agents. Temperature changes are always characteristic of a bathhouse. Especially if the bathhouse or steam room is located indoors at home.
These are ideal conditions for the growth of fungi, the spread of mold and other processes of wood rotting. In this regard, all surfaces of the steam room and bathhouse in general need processing.
Treatment of bathhouse premises is carried out using antiseptic substances. In general, there are many means and substances that can be used to treat all surfaces, including shelves, sunbeds, and other sauna accessories made of wood.
When processing a bath can be used:
- Acrylic protectants and coatings;
- Before purchasing a lining or sun loungers, you need to inquire about the material. Ideal option for the bath it will be one that is dried in special chambers. It is less susceptible to influence different insects and wood bugs that spoil the tree;
- Spirit wax solution. This processing method is considered the most environmentally friendly;
- The most available funds processing: impregnation and oils on natural basis. Such substances completely eliminate damage to steam room materials due to exposure to temperature changes;

The nuances of building a partition in a bathhouse
When building a bathhouse, when you do everything yourself, you need to carry out every step responsibly. The partition in the bathhouse is considered very important. To properly separate the common internal space, partitions are selected in accordance with the design and interior of the building. The material from which the load-bearing walls are made is also taken into account.
Plan diagram of a bathhouse with partitions.
When construction begins with your own hands, an important question arises: what material to use to mount partitions in the bathhouse? The location of the wall plays important role when selecting material.
A brick or concrete partition is placed in the bathhouse where a metal stove is installed. For a steam room, it is much preferable to make partitions from wood.
Partitions in a wooden bath
Basic technical properties various tree species.
These baths are built from different types of wood. Their assembly is carried out according to the frame-panel method.
Professionals do not recommend making partitions in the bathhouse itself if it is made of wood or brick. Especially when the fire will be fired sporadically, several times a month.
The thermal conductivity coefficient of wood and brick is very different, so it will take a lot of time to heat the brick walls in the bathhouse, especially when it is frosty outside. It is not necessary to make a partition between rooms from the same material. When a similar material with a smaller cross-section is used, difficulties will arise in attaching the connecting nodes. The best option for internal partitions in a bathhouse would be to install a frame system.
Walls of a stone bath
How to do internal partition, if the material for the wall in the bathhouse is brick. According to experts, frame technology is most suitable for this. The room will heat up much faster. Brick wall will attract condensate, which will require additional drainage.
Boards in last years began to be replaced with magnesite sheets. It must be said that such sheets can also be used to install a partition in a bathhouse made of logs.
Frame partition
Such a wall is most convenient in a wooden bathhouse. First, a frame is assembled, made from well-dried wooden blocks. Usually they are chosen in sizes 50x50 mm. The free space between the bars is covered with thermal insulation. It can be made from:
Diagram of a frame partition.
- mineral wool;
- foam boards.
In order to reliably protect the thermal insulation layer from moisture, it is covered plastic film. Much better than PV films are special waterproofing membranes. They are very often installed during the construction of attics. But the cost of such a membrane is several times higher than the cost of the film.
After insulation, the entire structure is covered on each side with dry boards more than 20 mm thick. The foil is “attached” to these boards inside the steam room. A furniture stapler is used as a tool.
Foil is an excellent reflector. It successfully reflects, in addition to light, also heat waves. Foil can be replaced with penofol or other material that can reflect thermal radiation.
During manufacturing, the reflective surface must be directed towards the heat rays emanating from the steam compartment. At the same time, the heat-insulating layer of its front side heads to the dressing room.
The final stage of installation of the bath partition remains the work of decorative finishing. Traditional material For her it has long been a lining. To make the bathhouse comfortable, the lining is made from several types of wood:
Scheme of finishing partitions with clapboard.
Deciduous wood does not emit resin. To install the lining, slats are nailed to the wall. In other words, the lathing is done. Wooden structures The inside of the baths is impregnated with antiseptic. This is vital, because the room always has high humidity. Mold and mildew may appear at any time. Wood simply needs maximum protection.
This bathhouse resembles a complex sandwich. However appearance the wall is highly attractive. In addition, the partition has other positive properties:
A similar partition in the bathhouse will create a high temperature and comfortable conditions for people in the steam room. Where there is no need to have very strong thermal insulation (bathroom, pantry, hallway) a more simplified design is made.
The partition is assembled from well-dried boards, more than 40 mm thick. Dry bars are also used for this purpose. The installed wall is sheathed on each side with clapboard. All gaps are closed with penoplex, which will allow you to achieve excellent thermal insulation.
Insulation of partitions
When the installation of the partition is completed, there is always a small gap left. It is often covered with mineral wool, which has excellent heat-resistant properties.
For insulation frame walls knowledge of some nuances is required. The fact is that wood has high thermal conductivity; it cannot resist high loads for a long time.
The inner surface of the bathhouse walls is insulated with mineral wool. It is covered with heat-insulating material. Very often used for this:
As facing material use lining of different colors. The process of laying insulation is simple. The most important thing is to be careful and take your time so that the end result is of very high quality.
Microclimate bath room always negatively affects walls and partitions.
High humidity does its job. To extend the life of the partition, you need high-quality waterproofing. It is done in advance before finishing operations begin. This rule must be followed. For this purpose, special materials are used, which include:
It is prohibited to use roofing felt for these purposes. When heated, this material begins to release various toxins that negatively affect the human body.
Any novice builder can easily do the waterproofing of a brick bathhouse with his own hands. The most important thing in this work is to correctly install the reflective surface. Its front surface should look inside the room.
Between the waterproofing layer and interior decoration An air gap more than 15 cm thick must be maintained.
Of course, in order to install partitions separating the internal sections of the bathhouse, you must have certain knowledge and construction experience. Without this, the result will be of very low quality.
After manufacturing, the brick partition should stand securely and firmly. Behind wooden wall must be constantly monitored and carefully looked after. If traces of damage are found, they must be immediately treated with special antiseptic preparations.
Magnesite slabs
Scheme of a partition made of magnesite plate.
When building partitions today, magnesite slabs are often installed. They have a number of advantages, such as:
This material is made from:
This is a completely non-flammable material; it can withstand high humidity much better than OSB boards.
Installation of slabs is carried out on profiles fixed in vertical plane. Insulation is laid on each side, which has mandatory protection in the form of a waterproofing layer.
For finishing These sheets are used for lining. Other finishing materials are also allowed.
You can also mount a partition without making internal insulation. To do this you will need to make a wall from two boards. In this case, the thickness of the partition should exceed 30 mm. The insulating function will be performed by the air space that appears between the boards.
The technology for installing magnesite slabs is as follows:
- the profile frame is assembled;
- the frame is filled with magnesite slabs;
- additional protection is carried out, a waterproofing film is attached, sometimes it is replaced with foil material;
- the entire structure is covered with clapboard.
Basically, if you have the desire, everything will work out. Good luck with your construction!
How to make partitions in a bathhouse with your own hands (photos and videos)
When building a bathhouse, when you do everything yourself, you need to carry out every step responsibly. The partition in the bathhouse is considered very important.
The division of the internal space of the bathhouse is carried out using partitions. We will tell you about their types, features and structure in this article.
Designing partitions in a bathhouse
Before making partitions in the bathhouse, you need to determine the area of the planned premises. Their sizes depend on the dimensions of the building and the number of regular visitors. Based on this data, the plan links the bulkheads to existing walls baths indicating axial dimensions. The location is then determined doorways and quantity required material.
The following can be used as partitions in a bath:
- Transformable structures - sliding, soft folding, rigid doors, sliding and screens.
- Stationary structures - brick, wood and glass partitions.
Each type of stationary bath partition has a number of advantages and disadvantages that must be taken into account when choosing the type and material of manufacture of a particular structure. Since the main part of the bath bulkheads is stationary, there is a need to talk about them in more detail.
Features of a brick partition in a bathhouse
Brick partitions are made not only in stone baths, but also in wooden log houses. This is especially true in cases where the furnace door of the furnace is removed from the steam room into the dressing room or rest room, and the dividing partition is combined with the heating device.
Advantages and disadvantages of brick partitions for baths
Their advantages are due to excellent physical characteristics:
- Brick partitions have good soundproofing properties. Half-brick bulkhead structures have a “noise” insulation index of 47 dB.
- Brick is a moisture-resistant material. With high-quality bath ventilation, the appearance of fungus and mold on such a partition is unlikely.
- Brick bulkheads are fire resistant and inedible by insects and rodents.
- Significant weight of the partition: with its thickness of half a brick, the mass of 1 m 2 of masonry is approximately 280 kg.
- Long production time for partitions made from piece material.
- The need to plaster the structure before finishing it.
The cost of 1 m 2 of brickwork is from $10 and above, the cost of work is from $7 per 1 m 2.
Installing a brick partition in a bathhouse
To construct such a partition, half-brick or brick masonry is used. Before starting work, you should stock up on: a sand sieve, a container for preparing the solution, a shovel, a hammer, a plumb line, a level and a trowel.
The installation process is carried out in the following sequence:
- The work site is cleared of unnecessary items and provided with lighting and necessary materials.
- The contours of the planned partition are outlined on the walls, floor and ceiling of the bathhouse.
- From sand and cement sifted using a sieve, a dry mixture is prepared in a ratio of 3:1, for example, 2 buckets of cement are taken for 6 buckets of sand. In the container, the resulting mixture is mixed with water until it becomes uniform and has a plastic consistency.
- Before starting work, the floor must be removed wood covering, and from the walls - cladding at the junctions of structures. Surfaces are cleaned with a wet broom.
- To lay the first row of masonry evenly, a cord is stretched along its edges, serving as a guide for the location of the bricks. The mortar of the first row is applied to the base of the partition, and the second and subsequent rows - to the surface of the previous row and the end part of the brick. The verticality of the masonry is controlled using a plumb line and a building level.
- The door frame in the partition opening is placed in advance and secured in it with the help of spacers, the brick is laid close to it.
- The partition is laid with ligation of the seams in the vertical direction. To achieve this effect, the second row of bricks must be started by laying half of the product.
- To ensure the strength of the masonry, every five rows of the mortar bed are reinforced with steel strips or rods.
- Above door frame As a jumper, you can install a piece of channel 30-40 cm longer than the width of the opening.
- The ceiling gap on the last row of masonry is eliminated by laying waste bricks soaked in mortar, small cracks are sealed with tow.
- To lay communications in a brick partition, it is necessary to provide for the installation of embedded sleeves. The material for them can be pieces plastic pipes length corresponding to the thickness of the partition. The voids between the sleeves and the masonry are filled with polyurethane foam.
On the washing compartment side, the partitions are usually covered with tiles, protecting the brick from moisture. In the steam room, such a partition is insulated, sheathed with foil heat-reflecting and waterproof material, and then lined with natural wood.
Features of a wooden partition in a bathhouse
Wooden bulkheads can be single, double or framed. For baths, due to their “extreme” operating conditions, frame-sheathing structures are more suitable.
Pros and cons of wooden partitions for a bath
The advantages of such partitions are very significant:
- The material used to make them is environmentally friendly.
- The possibility of making a frame partition in the bathhouse with increased strength that can withstand more than 150 kg of load.
- Lightweight wooden partition. With a thickness of 150 mm, the weight of 1 m 2 of the structure is 90-92 kg.
- Good sound insulation, its index reaches 41 dB.
- Wooden structures are afraid of water, so they need waterproofing.
- The material of the partitions is edible for rodents and insects; impregnation of wood with antiseptics can eliminate this problem.
- Wooden partitions are flammable, their fire resistance is 0.2 hours. Partial protection against fire is impregnation of the partition elements with a fire retardant.
The cost of 1 m 2 of wooden partition ranges from $20 and above, it depends on the cladding material.
Construction of a wooden partition in a bathhouse
Let's consider the construction of a wooden partition between the steam room and the sink in the bathhouse. The step-by-step process looks like this:
- Assembly and fastening of the frame. This is the most labor-intensive stage of the work. For the frame, timber 50x50 mm or 50x100 mm is used, its assembly is carried out on site. Two bars for the ceiling and floor, with a length of each of them corresponding to the width of the partition, are fixed to the corresponding structures using dowels. The same should be done with the bars for the walls. They are cut to the height of the room and fixed between the floor and ceiling bars in increments of 600-120 mm. The doorway is formed using transverse bars. For rigidity, it is additionally equipped with intermediate posts on both sides.
- Insulation of the partition. Insulation is placed between the frame posts. The material for it can be basalt wool with a slab thickness of 50 mm and a width of 600 mm.
- On the insulation side of the steam room, the frame is sheathed with foil, the heat-reflecting side of which should face the inside of the room. The material is stapled to the frame posts. The seams between the panels are taped with metal tape.
- On the side of the washing compartment of the bathhouse, the insulation is covered with an Izospan-type waterproofing membrane. Its fastening and sealing of seams is carried out similarly to the previous option.
- Partition lining. To obtain a ventilation gap between the back side of the future sheathing and the waterproofing layer, thin slats 15 mm wide are placed across the racks. The lining is attached to them. The same operation is performed from the side of the steam room using foil material. All wooden frame elements must be treated with an antiseptic.
Features of a glass partition in a bath
Unlike Soviet times, today's glass partitions are fashion element design with a variety of decorative solutions.
Advantages and disadvantages of glass partitions
Modern glass partitions in a bathhouse can be made from glass blocks - a kind of transparent “bricks” made of glass 6-10 mm thick. Their surface can be corrugated, smooth, matte, transparent and colored.
Manufacturing glass partitions has certain advantages:
- The partitions look impressive, are durable, strong enough, and fire resistant.
- They have good heat and sound insulation characteristics.
- They transmit light, for transparent blocks this value is up to 80%, for matte and colored products - up to 50%. The patterns of corrugated blocks give a bizarre play of light and shadow.
- The material of glass partitions can withstand temperature changes from -40 to +50 degrees. In the event of a fire, a structure made of transparent blocks can contain the spread of smoke and flame for two hours.
- Glass partitions are easy to clean and do not absorb odors; they are not afraid of rodents and insects.
- The internal surface of the partitions excludes the laying of any communications - electrical wiring, plumbing, etc.
- You cannot hang shelves or pictures on a glass wall.
- A separate block is not cut when installing the partition.
The cost of glass blocks depends on their type. Industrial products are the cheapest, their price is 40-60 rubles/piece. Colored blocks are more expensive - 160 rubles/piece. The most expensive are blocks with patterns obtained by sintering glass of different colors. Their price is more than 1500 rubles/piece. The cost of installing a partition is more than $20 per 1 m2.
Installation of a glass partition in a bathhouse
Installation glass partition For a beginner this is not an easy task. Used for laying glass blocks cement-sand mortars with a fine fraction of filler or “liquid” nails. There are two installation methods: adhesive cement mortar and into modular cells.
The first method is like leading brickwork, it is quite labor-intensive and time-consuming:
- The base is cleaned of dust, debris and dirt, and then leveled.
- The first row of blocks is set by level. Plastic crosses are placed between them to create seams of the same thickness.
- The masonry is reinforced horizontally and vertically with iron rods with a diameter of 6 mm through two blocks. It is recommended to lay no more than 3 rows per day due to the weight of the products - the damp lower seams of the masonry may shift due to the weight.
