The whole country rests on such workers

Alexey Gennadievich!!! Due to lack of time, I couldn’t write to you - thank you very much for the work of your employees in building the bathhouse, two young men, unfortunately, I don’t know their names, they worked clearly and harmoniously, the quality of the bathhouse is EXCELLENT!!! The whole country rests on such workers. All our friends and relatives also noted the impeccable work of the guys, which resulted in the bathhouse we dreamed of.

The guys built us an amazing bathhouse

I would like to express my deep gratitude to Alexey (general director), Sergey Zorin and Vladimir Chistyakov (builders)! At the beginning of August, the guys built us a stunning bathhouse, taking into account all our wishes. The delivery of materials was carried out on time, the construction was completed even ahead of the time agreed upon earlier, the quality of materials and work was excellent top level. In general, just a fairy tale! I advise you to build only with Russian carpenters!

"Price quality"

The work is pleasing to the eye. Fast, high quality, on time. I thank the team of guys (Evgeny, Dmitry, Sergey) and general director Alexey Roslov for the work done. I ordered a bathhouse with a 6x6 attic, project B-20, with minor changes, “for shrinkage”. All work has been completed ahead of schedule and high quality. All my wishes were taken into account. I was very pleased with Alexey Roslov’s attitude towards his work. He always promptly and competently answered all my questions and resolved controversial issues. The team, despite the young age of the guys, worked quickly and smoothly, and at the end they gave advice on caring for the timber and preserving it for the winter. Next year I will do the finishing with the same team. "Russian Carpenters" wins in all respects compared to other large companies. “Price-quality” is about them. Thank you very much again. I will recommend it to everyone.

The steam room has been loved by the Russian people for a very long time. To this day, it is customary for large companies and entire families to go to the bathhouse, because it is not only a pleasant pastime, but also a process that brings undeniable benefits to the body. Almost every owner suburban area I would like to build a bathhouse on my territory. Corner baths are considered very convenient and visually attractive buildings, which are gaining increasing popularity today.

Advantages and disadvantages of designs

Such buildings have a whole set of positive characteristics, thanks to which they are so popular among consumers.

Corner structures are best placed on small plots of land or where there are already buildings and plantings that cannot be moved to another place, for example, a utility block, a flower bed, garden furniture sets, etc. Placed in one of the corners of the plot, such a building will not occupy there is a lot of space and will not disrupt the overall compositional design.
A sauna, consisting of two “wings” located at right angles to each other, allows you to build an additional recreation area in the form of a veranda or terrace on the vacant plot of land between them.
If you provide each part of the corner building with a separate entrance, that is, a door to the steam room and an entrance to the rest room, then it will be possible to use these rooms separately.
Convenient placement of the stove in the middle, that is, between the rest rooms and the steam room, makes it possible to heat these two rooms at once, which is a means of saving money.

Triangular steam rooms have very few disadvantages. The main disadvantage that you may encounter when building a “corner” is the special architectural and planning characteristics of the site itself. However, if a professional is working on the project, then in such cases we will resolve the issue.

Corner-shaped buildings are very economical in terms of consumption of building materials and are convenient to use.

Where to start designing

It is worth paying special attention to the issue of choosing a place to build a bathhouse and its orientation. It is better to build a triangular paired building in the far corner of the site so that the entrance is not visible either from the street or from neighboring sites. The distance from the residential building to the steam room should be at least 10 meters, and to the fence - from 5 meters on all sides of the building. This is done so that there is unobstructed access to it along the entire perimeter in case of a fire. For the same purpose, the building is placed on the leeward side.

According to the definition of regulations, a bathhouse is defined as a commercial building. Accordingly, no permit is required for its construction. But despite this, it is still worth developing a competent, detailed project. Firstly, this will help to find out what building materials are needed for the work, and, secondly, an approximate estimate will appear with an assessment of the planned cash investments. Project documentation can be obtained in several ways: order from professionals; develop independently using special computer programs or draw by hand; take advantage of ready-made developments found on the Internet.

Design options for corner saunas

On initial stage A technical specification is drawn up that determines the area of each room. The dressing room is the first room into which a person enters when entering the bathhouse. Here, as a rule, firewood is stored, and there is a place for changing clothes and hanging clothes and shoes. Often, the dressing room is combined with a rest room, if there is not enough separate space for the latter. A double-glazed window is placed here at a level of 1 meter from the floor plane. The doorway is standard: 1.8 m by 0.8 m, opening to the street.

The most important room- steam room. The area of the steam room is calculated based on 1 m² per visitor. The size of the stove must also be taken into account. The most the best option for the steam room there is a metal wood-burning stove, which is placed at a distance of 100 cm from the wall surfaces and fenced with a small brick partition so that visitors do not get burned. The heater itself should be in the steam room, and the firebox in the relaxation room.

Window openings in the steam room, as a rule, are not made. More often they are replaced by a ventilation duct. If a window is still planned, then its size is 30 by 30 cm with double glazing, and its location is the wall opposite the stove. It is better to orient the opening to the west side so that the room has natural light most of the day. The interior decoration also depends on the area. If the size allows, then it is advisable to place comfortable benches here, on which you can lie down and relax. In another option, only seating areas are provided. The steam room door must have a high threshold to minimize heat loss. Dimensions 1.5 m by 0.8 m, opening outwards.

Washing room. The equipment of this room depends on the area. You can place just a shower or an entire swimming pool in the washroom. The minimum room size is 1.8 m by 1.8 m. The window here is designed at a height of 1.5 m so as not to allow drafts.

Bathroom. To place one toilet you will need a room with dimensions of 1.2 m by 0.8 m. The rest room is the largest and most comfortable area. Here you can relax after a steam bath and chat over a cup of herbal tea. A mandatory attribute of the guest space is a table with benches made of wood.

The optimal design of a corner bath includes a dressing room, a steam room, a guest room, a bathroom and a washing room.

What is better to build a small steam room from?

The next design stage is the choice of material for the construction of a corner sauna. The most popular raw materials will be various kinds of lumber, bricks and aerated concrete blocks. The first (in different types) are attractive because wood is absolutely safe for the human body. In addition, the final cost wooden bath much lower than its brick counterpart.

Today, the following types of wood materials can be used to build a sauna.

Rounded log. Among the advantages: deep impregnation protective compounds. The shape of each element is close to ideal, the size is the same.
Scraped raw materials. The log is manually cleared of bast (top layer), all irregularities and flaws are removed. With high-quality processing, the service life is 100 years.
Planed log elements. Upper layer removed with an electric plane. Excellent heat retention.
Products made from laminated veneer lumber fall into a separate category. This material is high-tech, thanks to which it allows you to create functional structures with unique architectural forms without additional costs.

Brick saunas are durable and do not require any pre-treatment. Brick is environmentally friendly, fireproof and visually attractive. In addition, it has high thermal insulation characteristics. It is possible to construct buildings of any shape and architecture from it. But do not forget that brick raw materials strongly absorb moisture, so the bathhouse will require good ventilation and vapor barrier. In addition, this is the most expensive raw material.

Having chosen the material suitable for construction, you should think about designing the foundation. Its type is determined precisely by the raw materials. Typically, masters use the following options.

Foundation types

Relatively new material for the construction of steam rooms - gas silicate block elements, which are valued for their light weight and ease of processing.

The process of building a corner bathhouse from lumber

Having compiled project documentation, you can safely begin construction work. It is very important before starting to decide on the place where the building will stand. When choosing, many factors should be taken into account: soil type, topography, the presence of sewerage, drainage systems and open natural reservoirs. Having decided on the location, you should begin purchasing high-quality raw materials.

Timber for the construction of a corner steam room on a site is chosen by the consumer quite often, because this raw material is available, environmentally friendly, and the construction process itself does not require any special skills, as a result of which you can build a bathhouse with your own hands. The purchased timber must have a flat and smooth surface, treated with special antifungal and fire-retardant compounds. If the material is of poor quality, this will affect not only the installation of the crowns, but also the service life.

To determine quality wooden beam, you need to pay attention to the following points:

the end sections and the entire surface should not have signs of rot, one of which is a pronounced bluish tint;
the wood is selected without cracks and pits, because the slightest defect can split the timber during use;
raw materials should not be infested with pests.

As for the type of wood for bathhouse construction, for the lower crowns it is better to choose larch, which has high insulating qualities. The rest is laid out from various coniferous species.

Construction stages

It all starts with building the foundation. For a bathhouse made of profiled timber, two types are suitable. Which one to choose will depend on the type of soil. Clay soil is characterized by deep underground water, so it is advisable to make a columnar foundation here. To do this, throughout the entire area future construction, namely in the load-bearing walls and in the corners, columns are dug in at a distance of about 0.5 m from each other. The base of the pillars is poured concrete composition, forming a special pillow.

For a strip foundation, a previously prepared trench is filled with concrete. The main thing: keep in mind that the base should rise 50 cm above ground level. Complete drying of the concrete pour occurs in 2–3 weeks, after which you can begin to construct the building.

To provide long term bathhouse services, the fundamental base must be well insulated. To do this, a layer of molten bitumen is poured onto it and covered with layers of roofing felt. This operation is performed twice, after which everything cools and dries.

Laying the first crown. The lowest layer of the building consists of small slats impregnated with an antiseptic composition that protects against fungal pests and mold. Insulation is laid between the slats. On at this stage It is important to maintain horizontality. The next layer is a thick beam, which will bear the entire weight of the building. To do this, choose raw materials measuring 20 by 20, then 15 by 15. The lower beams are not attached to the foundation, since due to the total weight of the structure it will be well fixed to the base.

Laying flooring and erecting wall surfaces. The floor should be installed at a slope of 2–4 degrees in one direction. This will ensure that water flows in one direction in the future. Logs are placed that act as attachment points for the floor surface. Wall partitions are erected from beams, which are aligned and fastened together with pins or dowels. Insulation in the form of moss or tow is laid between the beams.

Placement of window and door openings. When erecting wall partitions, it is necessary to leave marks in advance in the places where windows and doors will be located in the future. It is along these marks that bars of appropriate sizes are cut.

Construction of the roof. Before completing construction and starting to cover the roof, you should give the entire complex time to settle. On average it will take about six months. During this period, it should be covered with a layer of timber, on top of which a sheet of roofing material or slate is laid.

After the shrinkage period has expired, construction begins. gable roof. It is assembled from beams with a cross-section of 12 by 5 rafter system, on which the transverse boards are attached. Sheets of slate are laid on them.

To lay a sewer drain, a pipe is used that runs from the drainage point to the septic tank. The pipe is dug into the ground at a slope to ensure natural drainage of water.

Construction of a corner bathhouse made of bricks or blocks

The construction of this, and any other brick sauna, also begins with the arrangement of the foundation. Since this design is quite heavy, it is chosen belt type foundation. A trench is dug for it, the bottom is covered with a sand cushion 150 mm thick. Then the formwork is built and reinforced with steel rods. All this is filled with concrete. In this state, the trench dries out for about a month to gain strength.

Before laying walls made of bricks or foam blocks, the base is waterproofed with roofing felt. The masonry is done using a mortar of cement and sand. After each laid layer, the surface is checked for horizontalness building level. A concrete beam lintel should be placed over the openings of windows and doors. When the wall partitions are laid out, floor beams are laid and a rafter system is erected for the future roof.

The main element in the steam room is the stove. It is better to give preference to a traditional rectangular heater, which, if desired, can be decorated with various inserts made of stone or glass. It is very important that you feel comfortable spending time in the steam room, and multi-tiered rooms can provide this. corner shelves and better rounded shape. So that you can easily use a broom, the ceiling height from the top shelf is 1.5 m, the distance between the benches themselves is about 1 m.

Based on Russian traditions and the purpose of the bathhouse, they choose quality wood. The design of a corner (like any other) steam room has certain requirements that should not be neglected. Firstly, lining of soft wood shades is used for cladding inside the building. The interior is very warm and relaxing. In addition, the naturalness of this material puts it in a leading position, bypassing its plastic counterparts.

Secondly, interior decoration must not contain sharp corners. Due to possible slipperiness and humidity, it is necessary to minimize the risk of injury when using the premises. Thirdly, the steam room must be filled with all the necessary attributes for a good rest. These can be various aromatic compositions, washcloths, hats with gloves, brooms and more. Choosing wood for interior design obvious, because this is an environmentally friendly raw material with low thermal conductivity, due to which it is in the steam room at high temperatures and high humidity very comfortable.

Lighting fixtures with soft, dim light are selected inside the sauna. It is better to choose models with anti-fog lamps made in pastel colors. Devices can be placed both on the walls and on the ceiling - it all depends on personal preferences. Will give special aesthetics interior design bath doors. Today you can use traditional solid products, modern glass models, giving the room a pleasant appearance.

As for the exterior design of a corner sauna, the main condition for choosing a suitable concept is a harmonious combination with the overall landscape.

As a rule, it is not customary to sheathe structures made of wood with anything. The design of a corner bath consists of impregnating the elements with special protective compounds, which can emphasize the texture of the wood, shading it. If the building is built of brick or block elements, then it is possible to use decorative cladding siding, block house, lining and other materials imitating wood or stone texture.

Types of extensions to a corner sauna

Any bath complex has a separate guest room inside. However, in good weather I really want to spend time outdoors. For such a pastime, various types of extensions are used.

The terrace is attached to the sauna and is located at a height of 50 cm above the ground cover. Corner baths with a terrace look attractive, and an additional platform allows you to place people on outdoors. Thanks to common roof The combined structures look very harmonious. Also, a barbecue area is often set up on the open terrace. For this purpose, special equipment is installed on which wonderful dishes are prepared. If desired and if there is free space, it is possible to arrange a separate attached gazebo, on which a barbecue oven will also be laid out.

Another excellent solution for arranging relaxation outside the walls of the sauna are corner baths with closed veranda. Thanks to the glazing, it can be used even in bad weather, which maximizes the functionality of the entire complex. When designing a corner steam room with a veranda or terrace, you should follow some rules.

Only one raw material is used for construction.
The connection between the extension and the main structure is not made rigid.
The distance between them remains 10–15 mm; it is filled with elastic material and decorated with platbands.

A bathhouse with an attic can be considered a full-fledged recreation complex. Thanks to this equipped attic space, it is possible to expand the usable area of the building, creating a separate room for a pleasant stay. A swimming pool will be an excellent addition to the corner bath complex. However, its presence should be thought about at the design stage, because this design requires certain manipulations with the equipment of the sewer system.

Today, every owner of a plot of land has access to their own corner bath building. The choice of projects and layouts makes it possible to build a full-fledged steam room even in the smallest areas, and the simplicity of the construction process allows you to independently turn all your ideas into reality.

Baths have existed in Rus' since ancient times. And if in the old days the main task of the bathhouse was hygiene procedures and maintaining cleanliness, then in the modern world it is rather a place comfortable rest with family and friends, as well as the opportunity to demonstrate their financial viability, because not every Russian can afford their own bathhouse.

Nowadays, bathhouses are built from exceptionally high quality materials so that they are comfortable, practical and serve faithfully for many years.

Modern bathhouse– this is not just a steam room. This is a whole multifunctional complex that includes everything that could be located in a comfortable house: the steam room itself, a recreation room, a gym or billiard room, a small swimming pool and an open veranda.

Peculiarities

A spacious terrace is perhaps the biggest dream of any metropolis resident who values outdoor recreation in the company of close friends. However, if your cottage is not equipped with a veranda, as is often the case in old private houses and modern standard cottages, then you can compensate for this shortcoming and build a bathhouse in the yard, equipping it with a functional recreation area.

Thanks to this, you can solve several problems at once:

the presence of a bathhouse “without leaving home”;
the presence of a terrace, which can be used as an ordinary gazebo, where you can arrange intimate gatherings in pleasant company;
a practical solution to the problem of organizing friendly or family leisure;
if necessary, solving the ill-fated “housing issue”.

Terraces can be equipped with barbecues, grills and barbecues, without which no picnic is complete. There are other pleasant bonuses of such structures - you can fry kebabs and prepare other snacks right on the veranda.

In addition, the joint construction of a bathhouse and a terrace allows you to maintain a single architectural style and comply with the concept of landscape design throughout the entire site. There is no need to connect separately located objects with paths, and this significantly increases the total usable area of the land plot, which can be used for a flower bed, rockery or lawn.

And, of course, combining a bathhouse with a place of relaxation allows you to save on construction work oh, because in this case the wall of the bathhouse simultaneously serves as the wall of the veranda, and this significantly reduces the consumption of necessary materials.

Special attention should be paid to the fact that connecting a terrace with a bathhouse is much more difficult than constructing them at the same time.

If the common foundation was not laid at the stage of foundation construction, then it is better to abandon the idea of a bathhouse + terrace “2 in 1”, especially if the soil is heaving. In this case, both parts will shrink differently, which leads to cracking of the walls.

If you are determined to combine two functional buildings, then it is worth considering the basic aspects of this technological process.

It is optimal to build a veranda only after the building has completed shrinkage, after that they equip a columnar foundation and build a building perimeter on it.

To reduce the likelihood of distortions, the terrace can simply not be connected to the main wall bath complex, and mask all gaps that appear using polyurethane foam or using sliding fasteners.

It is better to arrange the roof separately for both structural elements, and so that water does not flood between the roof of the bathhouse and the covering of the veranda, an L-shaped ebb is installed. It is placed 2-3 cm above the terrace and mounted to a log frame.

Selection of materials

Most builders assure that the bathhouse should be wooden, and the most the best material is coniferous wood. This is a very common misconception. The fact is that coniferous wood is characterized by increased resin content, and this resin begins to emit a pungent odor under conditions of elevated temperature. That is why coniferous varieties It is recommended to take it only for the construction of frame boxes, but for the finishing interior decoration you should give preference to linden, alder or oak wood.

Keep in mind that pine, juniper and cedar vapors have a beneficial effect on the body only in small quantities. When inhaling large doses, you can cause significant harm to the respiratory tract - their passages become blocked, and inhalation/exhalation becomes difficult.

It is equally important to decide on the standard form wood material. Many people use logs when constructing baths, since such buildings can work effectively in any season in a wide variety of climatic conditions. Other consumers prefer timber. Such material is more expensive than logs. However, its operational parameters are also higher: the timber is laid faster, but cracks much less often.

In any case, both types of wood blanks are suitable for building a bathhouse with a terrace, and the final choice is only a matter of personal preference of the owner of the site.

Well suited for the construction of sauna houses gas silicate blocks and foam concrete. It's relative inexpensive materials, which effectively solve all problems associated with the thermal insulation of a room.

The only thing you need to pay attention to Special attention– this is equipment for highly effective waterproofing of walls and their high-quality putty. The air in the steam room is humid, so walls must be reliably protected from the adverse effects of moisture. Nowadays brick baths are practically not built, although this material is considered the most optimal for finishing cladding facade of a country building, also look very stylish decorative fencing brick verandas.

For those who are looking for original solutions for their site, we can recommend a round bathhouse with a terrace, built using environmentally friendly clay technology. All that is required for this is a couple of dump trucks of firewood, a cart of hay and big car clay.

Design and layout

At its core, creating a bathhouse project with a terrace is, in general, a simple task, but in practice it requires compliance with and application of a large number of different rules and principles.

The area of the steam room must be at least 10 square meters. m, and the ceiling height is not lower than 2 m– with this arrangement of the bathhouse, three people can be in the room at the same time without loss of comfort.

For any bathhouse, it is important to have the possibility of natural water drainage, so the subfloor, as a rule, is made at a certain angle.

When installing a bath complex, it is prohibited to install cables, lamps and shades; If they come into contact with steam, they may cause an accident. When constructing such premises, it is worth giving preference to specialized materials, although they are by no means cheap.

Depending on the location of the bathhouse and terrace, there are several types of layouts: open, closed and corner.

Open

A mansion with a large open veranda and equipped steam rooms is not only stylish, but also quite comfortable. On the veranda at any time you can equip a small functional gazebo, set up a grill or barbecue for barbecuing and preparing other dishes for which access to air is important.

The terrace often serves as a playground for small children, a place for meeting guests and dancing. It is on the veranda that it is so comfortable to read, draw or just relax even in the most inclement weather, since it is, as a rule, reliably protected from the wind and sun.

For greater comfort, you can hang curtains; they will protect from the piercing wind and annoying mosquitoes and other stinging insects.

Closed

Today, more and more owners of private houses and cottages prefer the most efficient use of their land plots. Lands, especially those located within the city, in the vast majority of cases have small sizes, and the owners want to build a bathhouse with a gazebo and other recreational facilities in their yard. This is especially important during the landscape planning stage.

If there is no house on the new site, but its construction is planned for several years, then first you should build a bathhouse. At first, it can be used not only for its intended purpose, but also play a role summer kitchen, warehouse and storage areas gardening tools. Subsequently, a garage can be built above the bathhouse and on the sides of it, as well as living rooms and equip a connected veranda. This type of structure is called closed.

This also includes projects of free-standing bath structures, to which a covered veranda is attached.

It increases the total area of the relaxation space and solves whole line tasks:

allows you to use useful space as extra space for gatherings with family and friends;
use of the terrace for comfortable relaxation outside the bathhouse complex;
arrangement of a winter garden on the terrace;
use for the purpose of an additional area of the utility room for storing household equipment.

As a rule, in closed terraces they use panoramic glazing, and the glass is made transparent or mosaic.

Corner

Corner types of baths with a terrace are quite popular and widespread. This arrangement is considered a modern trend in garden construction. The design has a unique configuration, takes up little space on the site, and fits harmoniously into any landscape design and is combined with other buildings in the yard. Well, besides, such a bathhouse with a veranda is quite spacious inside due to its shape.

Corner modifications are preferred in situations where it is necessary for the bathhouse to be as close as possible to the cottage, almost right next to it - this may be due to the characteristics of the site or the personal wishes of the owner of the house. In this case, the terrace, which is adjacent to the main building, can have any shape - square or rectangular.

The corner bath is ergonomic. The use of this type of layout creates conditions for a more logical and beautiful use of the site area, and also allows you to tidy up the areas adjacent to the house.

A distinctive feature of corner structures is their unique shape. In the traditional version, the basic functional area The premises (the steam room and shower) are located perpendicular to the leisure area.

In corner-type buildings, the stove is located in the middle between the steam room and the recreation room, thanks to this the entire space is heated, which is extremely important in cold weather winter time of the year.

Corner structures are optimal for small areas. They are located on one of the corners local area, take up little space and fit into any landscape composition.

Buildings in the shape of a triangle always look quite stylish and attract attention with their architectural design. It is the corner baths with verandas that are considered the most acceptable in terms of ergonomics, practicality and functionality.

Examples of finished buildings

The choice of a specific project for building a bathhouse with a terrace most often depends on the parameters of the local area.

Eg, classic version– project of a standard bathhouse measuring 6x9 m optimal for houses with quite large yard. Such a guest recreation area can comfortably accommodate not only a family, but also a large group of friends. In this case, it is assumed that a joint foundation will be built for both zones. You should not stop at one-story buildings. Often the structures are made two-story and on the lower floor there is a steam room with a veranda, and on the second floor there is a room or a billiard room or a toilet.
If the bathhouse is attached close to a residential building, then in this situation there will be a project with dimensions of 5x6 or 6x6 m looks harmonious. The proportions will allow it to fit into the design concept of any type of site. At the same time, the owners not only significantly expand the area of the house, but also receive cubby, where they can meet friends and family in any weather. By the way, this will create additional heating of the walls of the main building, and this is also of no small importance.

Bathhouse 4 x 4.5 m with terrace- one of the standard projects offered by construction companies. A bathhouse of this layout contains three functional rooms: a relaxation area, a steam room with a plunge pool. An open veranda is attached to the bathhouse on a separate foundation. Such a project assumes that the entrance to the recreation area is from the street, and this can be extremely uncomfortable, especially in autumn and winter. To eliminate this shortcoming, you can make the veranda covered or partition off part of the room and convert it into a vestibule.
Project of a 6x4 bathhouse with a terrace involves the arrangement of a small-sized vestibule, since such a bathhouse can be used in the cold season without any modifications. The steam room and shower are not combined, but their sizes are almost identical. This is not always justified from an ergonomic point of view. In the shower room, as a rule, people wash one at a time. Therefore, it would be more correct to make it a little more compact, but it is worth allocating more space for the steam room, since for the most part there are 2-3 people steaming there.

Drawing of a 6 x 5 bath (with a protruding terrace)- another typical version of a bathhouse with a fenced vestibule. With this layout option, it occupies a small part of the veranda, so in order not to hide its functional area, part of the veranda is simply designed as an extension, that is, “pushed” beyond the existing foundation of the building. Sometimes it is enlarged even more, shaped like the letter “G”. This allows you to create and arrange a spacious area for a good rest for a large or small company at any time of the year. At the same time, a small area of the gazebo can be safely reserved for grilling, barbecuing or installing a barbecue.

Advantages of corner baths

Gardeners often complain about small area plot of six acres. What can you say about a tiny piece of land of three hundred square meters? And there are still plenty of gardening partnerships with such tiny “plots”. And the owner of such a piece would like, in addition to a small garden house, to have a place where he can park a car, plant at least a couple of beds of greenery, install a greenhouse, arrange a green lawn for children or for a barbecue, and of course, put a bathhouse.

In such cramped conditions, as an option, you can consider the design of a small bathhouse, placed at an angle, on the border of two neighboring plots.

Such a solution can have several positive aspects at once:

1) Two wings of the bathhouse, forming an angle, will create a piece of space, closed from the prying eyes of neighbors. Then in winter, after the steam room, you can safely plop naked into a snowdrift, and in summer you can dive into a small pool.

2) Thanks to this configuration, part of the land is freed up on which you can put a veranda, terrace or barbecue.

3) If he comes to you a large number of If you like to take a steam bath, you can choose a project with two entrances - to the relaxation room, to the steam room or to the washroom.

4) Corner bathhouse is convenient for arrangement small attic, where a teenage child will happily spend the summer.

Below we present two completed corner bath projects.

First option

The project of such a bathhouse was born completely unexpectedly. Initially, there was no talk of any corner structure. We just bought a new log house to replace the old one. During dismantling, it turned out that the old building was still quite viable. Therefore, they decided to change the logs of the lower crown and correct the foundation, and next to it, build a new log house on a separate foundation. Both buildings were connected by a doorway.

The stove in the old log house was removed - now there is a washing room, the rest remains the same - a locker room + toilet. In the new one, the entire area is intended for a steam room, and only in the cold season, when it becomes cool in the unheated washing room, do we use the steam room as a washing room.

Both log houses stand on a strip foundation filled to a depth of 70 cm with cement mortar and reinforcing bars. The solution is poured flush with the soil surface. At the corners, the log houses rest on halves of curbs, the rest of the foundation is red brick, and front side– facing.

The first crown is laid on roofing felt waterproofing. the remaining logs of the new cage are laid on flax batting. Due to the fact that the log house is of good quality, the walls are not insulated in any way and retain heat perfectly. The only thing that is carried out periodically (about once a year) is external treatment Aquatex protective agent - pine color. True, despite this, the wood becomes a little darker every year. The inside of the logs is not hewn, sheathed or treated in any way.

The old log house is lined with pine clapboard inside. In the washing compartment it is coated with a special colorless wax-based compound (I don’t remember the name).

The rear outer, invisible part of the frame is sheathed with an ordinary “inch”. And the front one, visible in the photo, is lined with blockhouse.

The ceilings of both buildings are made of floor lath, 30 mm thick, with a tongue and groove connection. On top, from the roof side, on a ceiling board covered with foil, insulation is laid - penoplex, 50 mm thick.

The roof is pitched. I was afraid that the ridge gable would look too cumbersome in a small area. Subsequently, I regretted it - an extra attic space would not have hurt, and there would have been no snow load.

The floor, in a new log house, is in the form of a cement screed with reinforcement mesh, made with a slope from the front door to the opposite one end wall with a drainage hole in the foundation through which water is drained through a pipe into a d/well. The cement floor is covered with ceramic tiles. On top of it, the main floor boards, 50 mm thick, are laid on the logs.

The floor of the old log house is similar, but has a slightly funnel-shaped screed, with a drainage hole in the center, from where the used water flows through a pipe into a second well.

Ventilation of the bathhouse is provided by a small opening window with double glazing and four holes in the foundation made of plastic sewer pipes with a diameter of 50 mm. If necessary, these holes can be closed with special plugs.

The bathhouse, in my opinion, is practically devoid of shortcomings. The impression is somewhat spoiled only by the unsightly sauna stove, it is welded from a “five hundred” pipe. But of course, it's not just the appearance, the whole problem is the hot water tank installed on top of the stove.

Not only does it have a small volume, but being part of a steel “five hundred”, it is susceptible to corrosion. The water often has to be changed due to rust. Since the chimney is located in the center of the tank, it is impossible to place a stainless steel liner there. Coatings made from fire-moisture-resistant paints do not produce the desired result. In addition to the fact that they are toxic, the coating also slides off by the end of the season.

Another disadvantage of this design is the abundance of soot in the pipe, which is formed due to the fact that smoke passes through the tank with cold water, so the chimney has to be cleaned at least once a season. So the stove would have to be more modern.

Although this can also find its advantages: significant metal thickness of 6 mm, good heat transfer and efficiency. It has a spacious heater made of a horizontally welded pipe with a diameter of 200 mm. The flame from the firebox, covering it on both sides, warms up the stones well and goes up, also heating the upper tank of water.

Well, another disadvantage of such a building is the proximity of the toilet to the rest of the rooms. Although, I think we can’t do without it. In order to prevent the smell from being annoying, the toilet must be reliably isolated from other rooms already at the foundation stage.
Otherwise, since its construction in 2009, the bathhouse has established itself only as a source of health and pleasure.

Second project

This bathhouse was built in 2015 according to the same principle - a corner design.

The ordered pine frame of non-standard shape 4x2.5 m was also installed on a strip foundation, which was buried 0.5 meters into the ground and laid brickwork another 0.5 meters above the surface. Before pouring, the foundation was reinforced with a double grid of reinforcing bars with a diameter of 12 mm.

As in the first option, the bathhouse is divided into a locker room (or rest room), shower room and steam room. It was already decided to install the toilet here at some distance from the bathhouse. I don’t even know if this is a plus or a minus? The photo shows how the corner bathhouse is compactly located on the site, having three fairly spacious rooms inside.

The foundation is quite high. This made it possible to lay a row of tiles from the inside of the steam room, from the floor to the lower crown of logs. The floor is a cement screed, on top of which there are logs made of steel pipes, with a diameter of 100 mm (the diameter is large, but these are the used pipes that remained from the dismantling of the water pipeline). The ends of the pipes are embedded in the foundation walls. And boards 40 mm thick are laid on them. From the outside, the foundation is additionally insulated with a layer of 50 mm polystyrene foam and plastered.

The locker room is designed like an extension to a log house. The frame is made of 150x100 timber, which made it possible to lay mineral wool insulation, 150 mm thick, and sheathe outer wall siding, and the internal lining is made of aspen. The wall between the washroom and the sauna is also lined with aspen clapboard on both sides and insulated with mineral wool. Why aspen? It is believed that, despite its relative cheapness, this material is almost as good as linden in its properties.

There is also a storage type hot water tank installed in the locker room. It must be remembered that when installing such a tank, you need to take care of high-quality electricity. wiring By the way, the wiring throughout the bathhouse is made of special heat-resistant wire.

The bathhouse has no windows, and ventilation is provided - in the wash compartment due to the “ventilation fungus”, and in the sauna - due to the wooden curtain visible in the photo. Above the floor there are unclosed ventilation holes, the size of half a brick.

The inside of the ceiling is lined with clapboard sewn onto aluminum foil. Then, on the roof side, a layer of mineral wool 200 mm thick is laid on the waterproofing film. The steam room itself is not sheathed with anything, only in places of contact with the walls near the shelf, aspen slats are sewn onto the logs so as not to get dirty with the resin released.

The roof is pitched, covered with corrugated sheets yellow color, which goes well with the color of the logs.
Drainage is carried out by connected pipes from the shower and from the sauna, and led into a drainage well in the cement screed of the floor.

The main feature of this bathhouse is the stove, with a firebox facing the street.

Vesuvius brand stove, with a special elongated combustion channel.

It would seem that this kind of solution is quite absurd and, to put it mildly, not entirely popular. But in vain, because heating a bathhouse from the street has many advantages:

Oxygen is not burned in a heated room, therefore there is no carbon monoxide.
No garbage is brought into the bathhouse along with firewood.
Due to the firebox, usable space is saved, albeit a little.
The combustion hole is located higher, unlike a traditional stove, so when igniting and firing the stove you do not need to bend over, or even kneel.

Thanks to the well-placed canopy, we got rid of one inconvenience - in the rain you can throw firewood without fear of getting wet.

Well, in conclusion, let’s say that, conveniently located in the corner of the site, such a bathhouse occupies a minimum of land area and easily fits into any landscape.

If previously the bathhouse was used exclusively for washing and warming up, today it is becoming a unique way of spending leisure time. It provides comfortable recreation areas, including outdoor ones. It is designed to be more spacious so that a large company has the opportunity to combine business with pleasure: improve their health and have a spiritual conversation over a cup of tea.

In this regard, a large number of projects for these premises are being created.

Peculiarities

Designing baths with your own hands is a rather complex and even multi-level task. It is necessary to choose the right location on the territory of a suburban area, distribute the areas so that all the necessary zones are located, and, most importantly, comply with all safety conditions.

Bathhouse designs differ depending on the wishes of the owners.

If “after-bath” communication is important to them, then a large area is allocated for a relaxation room. If - the process itself taking place in the steam room - then it and washing become priorities. The sinks themselves may vary in size and function: either they contain only one shower and a couple of benches, or a real font. The same can be said about steam rooms: in saunas they are small and “sedentary”, while in traditional standard baths they are spacious and “lying”, equipped with a large number of shelves.

In addition, before starting construction work, it is important to decide on the construction material - the size of the finished bathhouse may depend on it. For example, the standard length of beams and logs is 6 meters, so very often the size of the bathhouse is planned to be 6 by 6 or 6 by 3 meters in order to reduce waste. Bathhouse projects made of bricks or foam blocks can be of various sizes, since foam blocks are easily cut with a hacksaw, and various masonry schemes can be realized using bricks.

Bathhouse projects with two floors, although more complex and expensive to implement, allow you to get double area and free, perhaps even living space. And also often, owners add a terrace to the bathhouse.

The final projects will depend on the number of family members, the planned frequency of use of the bathhouse, the layout of the site, and the financial capabilities of the owners.

There are three main types of baths:

separate;
extensions to the main house;
steam room inside the house.

The standard option is still considered a separate standard building, equipped with water drainage and ventilation. If the bathhouse is planned as an extension or inside the house, then you will have to think through the location of communications in advance and strengthen compliance with safety measures. This way you can save space on a small area and money on building walls, foundations and roofs.

An obvious advantage of modern separate baths is also the fact that you can build them yourself, without the help of professionals. They even produce ready-made bathhouses in disassembled form - sets of logs and beams that can be assembled at a chosen location in almost a day.

Where to place it?

When planning a bathhouse, you need to allocate a place for it in your summer cottage in advance. Many factors will have to be taken into account, for example, the level of occurrence groundwater, therefore this issue should be approached as seriously as possible.

Based on the soil and surface of the site, it is determined which foundation and design of the sauna house to choose.

This way, water during the spring flood will not flood the structures;
If the correct slope is maintained, the flowing wastewater will not be able to pollute it.

Windows should be installed on the western side of the bathhouse, as there is more sun here. In a traditional Russian bathhouse there is only one window - in the dressing room, but in modern models, of course, there is much more incoming light. Entrance door It is recommended to place it on the south side, where there will be less snow during the cold season.

Requirements for the gap between the bathhouse and the nearest buildings have also been established. The bathhouse must be located at least 10 meters from the house and 3 meters from the border summer cottage, that is, a fence to provide access to the building from all sides in the event of a fire. The distance to the well should be about 20 meters.

In general, the most the best option will place the bathhouse in a separate recreation area, away from the main building. Nearby you can place a swimming pool or an artificial lake to plunge into the water after a hot steam room.

Subtleties of design

The design of a modern Russian bathhouse is developed in such a way that several people can be in it at the same time. The layout of a small building indicates a vestibule that creates a thermal barrier, a dressing room (in which you can change clothes) and the steam room itself, usually with an area of 6 to 9 square meters. A large bathhouse can be complemented by a shower room with a toilet, a swimming pool, a plunge pool, a technical room and a spacious relaxation room. In villages, it happens that a special room is equipped where you can wash clothes, and where children and sick people wash.

In small baths there is no rest room, but there is a vestibule, the area of which reaches 6 square meters. It usually has a window, a bench and hooks for clothes. In the vestibule you can undress and dress, relax and cool down after the steam room. It is recommended to make the doors of the steam room itself and the dressing room exit towards the vestibule and heat the entire bathhouse from one stove.

The steam room is usually made square, retaining heat. At the entrance to it they make a high threshold and install a small low door. The floor in the steam room is raised by 7-10 centimeters. In the corner area, a stove-heater heated with wood is usually installed. Opposite it are shelves for washing, usually of different heights.

The most common option is a bathhouse where a steam room, a washroom or shower room, and a relaxation room are located under one roof.

Very often the steam room and the wash room are separated by a small partition. If the rest room is quite large, then you can also decorate it with a kitchen so that you can always cook something simple and boil tea. It would be a good idea to complement the summer bath open terrace with a canopy that will accommodate a barbecue oven. Second floor two-story bathhouse It’s worth making it a living area with full rooms.

If preference is given corner bath, then it is worth keeping in mind that in the classic version, two relaxation rooms are located around the steam room. Moreover, all rooms have a separate entrance. A corner bath is considered the most budget option in a situation where there is a shortage of extra square meters.

The bathhouse project can be ordered from professionals or developed independently. It’s worth starting with the development of technical specifications, which will determine the area and location of all the desired zones.

The dressing room (especially in the absence of a vestibule) is responsible for performing many different functions, which must be taken into account in the project. It is necessary to consider places for sitting and changing clothes, places for storing clothes and shoes, and a place for storing firewood. It is recommended to make the dressing room twice as large as the steam room, and to equip the room with a door insulated from the outside.

When planning a steam room, keep in mind that the minimum area per vacationer should be 1 square meter, and the metal stove is installed at a distance of at least 1 meter from the wall and is enclosed by a partition. An excellent solution would be to place the stove in such a way that it heats both the steam room and the relaxation room. In this case, the heater should be in the steam room, and the firebox should be in the second room. When deciding on shelves in a steam room, you need to consider your preferred way to steam: sitting or lying down. Windows in the steam room are not needed if there is a ventilation duct. Otherwise, there is one double-glazed window facing west.

The place for washing depends on desires and possibilities: either a shower, or a font, or a pool, or just a bucket of water.

Two-story

If you want to combine a bathhouse with a guest house, it is recommended to create a plan for a two-story building with a kitchen. On the ground floor there is usually a steam room, shower room, relaxation room, toilet, and on the second floor there are bedrooms, a small kitchen and another bathroom. Such a structure will save space on the site and create additional space.

The dimensions of a two-story bathhouse depend on the number of planned guests.

One-story

There are more projects for one-story baths of different sizes.

The popular 5x4 meter project is suitable for small plot 6 acres. Such a bathhouse will quickly flood when minimum quantity fuel, and as many as five people will have time to steam in it. This building is made of logs.
A small bathhouse 3 by 4 meters can accommodate only 1-2 people. But it has a shower stall, so it can also be used as a shower room. The steam room itself occupies 4 square meters, so only 1 person can be in it at a time. A vestibule is not provided for in such a project. The bathhouse is a small one, which provides for a combination of a locker room and a relaxation room. Most often, such buildings are erected with their own hands.

A 6x3 meter project usually has 4 rooms: a dressing room, a steam room, a washing room and a relaxation room. The bathhouse is classified as medium-sized and often also has a veranda.
The simplest bathhouse, 4x4 m, is a building consisting of one room, which is both a dressing room and a steam room. The standard project includes a relaxation room or dressing room, steam room and, if possible, a washing area. The most successful option also contains an attached terrace.

The bathhouse, with an area of 3x5 m, requires the presence of a dressing room, a rest room, a sink and a steam room. A project with dimensions of 5 by 3 meters is classified as medium in size.
In spacious baths - from 30 to 40 square meters - the locker room and rest room are separate rooms. A spacious veranda is a must.

Bathhouse designs with attics must take into account the additional load on the foundation and minimize the area occupied by the stairs. It is mandatory to include a vapor barrier and thermal insulation of the ceiling between the first floor and mansard structure. This will prevent the development of fungus on the ceiling in the bathhouse.

Selection of materials

The question of choosing materials for a bathhouse is raised at the design stage. The location on the site, the type of foundation, and the appearance of the structure itself depend on this. The main materials for construction are wood, brick and foam concrete.

As for wood, log baths are considered optimal, rounded or chopped, regular timber and profiled timber. Such projects are quite cheap. Brick baths are quickly and easily installed. One of the advantages is that they have better fire protection and a long service life, but the disadvantage is that the structure takes longer to warm up.

Gas silicate baths are quite light in weight, which allows them to be installed even on problematic soils.

The blocks are easy to process, so their individual parts can be used as decorative elements.

Bath buildings made from three-layer SIP panels have excellent noise and heat insulation, relatively light weight and no temperature restrictions during construction. However, the material is far from environmentally friendly, easily ignites and serves little purpose to its owners.

Aerated concrete baths are no worse than wooden ones, and their cost is much lower. Aerated concrete retains heat well, is an environmentally friendly material and is easy to process.

Stone baths have low shrinkage and high resistance to fire. However, the construction is quite expensive and technologically complex.

Wood concrete baths are considered very environmentally friendly and fire resistant. If the finishing is done well, the building will retain heat well and not create condensation on the walls.

Foundation

The type of foundation is selected depending on the material chosen for the construction of the bathhouse itself and the number of floors. It is also necessary to take into account the possible maximum load of the walls and the natural characteristics of the soil. Baths can be built on various foundations.

Screw– which are typical for any soil. The screw foundation is installed within one day at any time of the year. Immediately after completion of the work, you can begin to build the structure itself. No soil treatment is required. A foundation on screw piles can last at least 150 years and withstand heavy loads. A screw pile is a metal pile that is placed into the ground by screwing. It looks like a screw and, once in the ground, compacts it, thereby increasing its supporting capacity.

Tape– the most labor-intensive. Usually strip foundations made of concrete or concrete blocks are used on difficult soils and in the construction of multi-story baths. The drawing takes into account the dimensions of the building, slopes, possible subsidence, and the depth of water. Before construction, it is necessary to carry out preliminary excavation work - removing the top layer of soil and leveling the site. Tape device provides better thermal insulation.

Columnar concrete- an option for those who want to save money on purchasing materials. The construction of a columnar foundation is very simple - columns are made from asbestos-cement pipes, which must be reinforced and filled with concrete. But preliminary excavation work on loose, flooded soils is also necessary. In addition, it is worth taking care of the floor insulation.

Such foundations are chosen by owners of small bathhouses made of logs or timber.

Driven piles– such structures made of reinforced concrete piles are used extremely rarely, but they are good for speeding up construction. Usually 6 screw piles with a depth of 2.5 meters are sufficient.

Monolithic. Such a foundation looks like a continuous layer of cement with crushed stone under the entire area of the bathhouse. It protects against excess moisture and subsidence, is very durable and can withstand heavy loads. It is not afraid of soil movement, freezing and further thawing, or heavy rainfall. In essence, a monolithic foundation is a continuous reinforced concrete slab, deepened into the ground. The walls of the room are built directly on it.

A separate foundation is being built for brick oven , which cannot be less in depth than the foundation of the bathhouse, or be part of it. It is recommended to leave a small distance between both foundations so that during shrinkage they have the opportunity to move relative to each other. In addition, it is important that the difference between the level of the floor itself and the foundation is about 70 millimeters.

Walls and roof

When choosing roofs, various materials are used: sheet steel, turf, tiles, slate sheets and others. The roof should primarily perform a protective function, and also fit well into the overall design of the summer cottage. Therefore, when choosing a material, it is necessary to take into account precipitation, the design of the roof with an angle of inclination and the covering of adjacent buildings. The roof is usually installed with a single slope, a gable roof, or an attic. The latter allows you to combine a bathhouse with living quarters.

The slope angle should be from 10 to 60 degrees, depending on the materials and terrain features. If precipitation is heavy, then the angle of a detached gable room is 45 degrees. Shed roofs are usually chosen for extensions to the main building. The angle of such a roof is from 50 to 60 degrees. Flat roofs are installed in highly windy areas.

The most economical materials are considered to be timber, wood chips and turf. Among modern materials They include slate, roofing felt, corrugated sheets, metal tiles and ondulin. In Russia, the bathhouse is usually covered with soft roofing materials. Most available material- roofing material, and durable ones - slate, which, unfortunately, increases the load on the frame, corrugated sheets and high-cost metal tiles.

As for the walls, traditionally the bathhouse is made of wood - pine, linden, spruce, aspen or even birch. The log house is cut from logs and formed into 9-10 rows for a standard design.

However, non-professionals will not be able to cut down trees on their own, so it is better to purchase a ready-made log house assembled from rounded logs.

If the choice fell on timber, then it is better to give preference to processed- then you can save on interior decoration. Timber allows you to create buildings of varying levels of complexity with your own hands - working with this material is very easy. The shrinkage of a bathhouse made of this material will be only 5-10 centimeters. But it is also worth adding that construction from a log house does not require special carpentry skills.

The cheapest solution is to assemble a structure from connected frame panels, inside of which there is insulation and a vapor barrier film. The technology is such that the frame is made up of beams covered with panel panels on the outside and inside. Thermal insulation material, for example, glass wool, is placed inside, and the outside of the panels is sometimes sheathed with clapboard or siding. Thus, the walls become a “thermos” and provide warmth inside the bathhouse. The construction of such a structure will not require a lot of time or a lot of money - frame-panel elements are mounted without preliminary preparation and are relatively cheap.

The only drawback of wood, which is an environmentally friendly material and creates a unique aroma in the room, is that it quickly rots, especially in damp rooms. Therefore, do not forget about special treatment material.

Construction of a bathhouse from lightweight concrete blocks is also considered inexpensive., which are currently widely represented on the market. You can assemble a bathhouse from them in 2-3 days on your own, without turning to anyone for help. However, it will be necessary to insulate the facade with siding, which will also provide protection from external influences. Concrete blocks are able to serve for a long time and calmly endure more than one change of interior decoration. The bad thing is that such buildings do not retain heat much like wooden ones.

Brick baths can last up to 150 years and look very attractive, demonstrating the imagination of designers. Brick has the highest fire resistance rates, and the material itself is considered safe for humans. But they take much longer to heat up and have poor vapor conductivity.

Baths made of foam concrete and aerated concrete require little firewood to heat the room and demonstrate high thermal insulation characteristics. If the walls are covered with foil, the room will quickly heat up and maintain a high temperature for a long time. And also when using these blocks you can save on finishing works, since the material has a smooth surface.

One of the main advantages of foam concrete is the fact that it does not burn.

Interior decoration

The interior design of the room performs an aesthetic function and also protects the surfaces of the walls, floor and ceiling.

The finishing of the walls and floors inside the bathhouse can again be done using various materials. They must be resistant to humidity and an abundance of steam, environmentally friendly, capable of serving for many years and, of course, aesthetically pleasing.

Most often, preference is given to wood - linden or aspen. Not recommended for use coniferous trees giving resin. All wooden parts treated with a special solution to increase service life.

One of the popular materials with an attractive design is lining. It is made from larch or cedar and is very safe for rooms with high humidity. It can also be used to perform external cladding. Wood lining has a pleasant texture and is combined with other materials. But it is quite difficult to install, difficult to maintain, and the material does not have high fire resistance. Unfortunately, the cost of the lining is also very high.

A block house is also used - a kind of lining that looks like logs. Suitable for interior lining only hardwoods, for example, linden. Imitation of timber is also a common solution.

Quite often, the washroom and other areas are decorated beautifully. tiles , which simplifies the maintenance of the premises. In the washing room, due to the constant presence of water, the atmosphere is destructive for wood, but does not cause any harm to ceramics. In addition, tiles make it possible to use original design solutions. Just don’t forget that the floor should be covered with tiles that won’t slip. Ceramic tiles are durable, sustainable and environmentally friendly.

For locker rooms, rest rooms and showers, PVC panels with affordable price, a variety of colors and easy installation. But such material is very short-lived and unstable to high temperatures.

Interior decoration always starts with the floors. It's pouring concrete screed, on which logs and rough coating are subsequently laid, and after that the finished floors are laid. In this case, you immediately need to think about a system for removing water from the room. Tiles or cut boards are most often used as flooring, although original modern solutions are also available.

Flooring can also be made from cork, planks or fiber matting.

Next comes the finishing of the walls, and the ceiling comes last. In a bathhouse, mainly in a steam room, the ceiling is exposed to hot steam and high humidity, which indicates the need for it additional protection. For this purpose, the floors are covered with a construction membrane or aluminum foil. All joints are taped with aluminum tape. The ceiling above the stove is additionally protected by a steel sheet. The highest quality materials must be used upstairs.

It is worth adding that at the stage of interior decoration it is time to think about the method of heating the building. Traditionally, a Russian bathhouse is heated with wood, but sometimes preference is given to gas, electricity, coal or fuel oil.

Firewood is good for its low price and widespread availability. It is worth adding that they create a unique atmosphere and smell in the steam room. Their disadvantage is that a person engaged in heating must always be present in the bathhouse. In addition, you have to think about a room or flooring for storing firewood. Gas heating can operate autonomously for an unlimited time, which means there is no need for human control. It produces no harmful emissions and is also inexpensive.

TO modern methods The heating system includes a “warm floor” system. They come in electric and water, with the second option being more economical and more labor-intensive. First of all, it's laid waterproofing material, then a layer of mortar and a layer of thermal insulation. A cable or pipes are mounted on top to circulate the hot coolant, and everything is covered again with screed.

There are no special requirements for the choice of materials for decorating a rest room; the aesthetic appearance is more important here. For example, in chalet-style bathhouses, the floor is assembled from solid boards that are not painted or varnished. The walls are lined with plaster or wood; there are always large protruding ceiling beams. The furniture is installed aged, simple, with untreated surfaces. A fireplace is required. Speaking of furniture, usually beds and shelves, benches and benches, cabinets and hangers, stools, chairs and tables are purchased or made for a bathhouse. All interior elements must be safe, durable and multifunctional. Standard steam room shelves are 185 centimeters long, 65 centimeters wide and 80 centimeters high. Shelves can have several tiers, be folding or stationary. In addition, the steam room contains foot and head rests.

The latter help you sit comfortably on the shelf while lying down, reducing pressure on the spine.

IN washing department There are shelves, stools and hangers for storing bath accessories. Practical and comfortable furniture for a relaxation room in its standard form is a set of a table, benches, chairs and stools. In the vestibule there is a bench or couch, a wardrobe and a hanger.

Examples of finished buildings

Oriental lovers with in cash, they can decorate a steam room, and even the bath itself in Turkish style. A traditional oriental bath, called a hammam, is heated by a stone bed, which is placed in the center of the room. Often a “waterfall” is formed on the wall, which serves as a washing area - here you can rinse off after a long stay in a hot room. The air in the hammam has a comfortable temperature, which makes it possible to perform a variety of spa treatments and massages. Among the decorative elements, such a bathhouse will require neon lighting, special benches, tiles with oriental patterns and mosaics. In the relaxation room you can set up a full-fledged hookah bar, hang bright curtains, set a low table on curved legs and scatter colorful pillows.

Those who are close to Japanese culture will like the idea of decorating a bathhouse in the same style. Large areas are not required, so you can place it inside the house or in a small outbuilding. According to Japanese customs washing room complemented by a wooden font, divided into two parts. One has a bench for sitting, and the other has a heating element. Another way to design a Japanese-style bathhouse is to install an ofuro - a rectangular container of water heated with cedar or linden sawdust. Bamboo screens, a large fan on the wall and natural shades will complete the creation of a complete interior.
