Subtleties planning bath size 4x4

Probably every person living in a private house or having a cottage outside the city wants to build his own bath, even if it is quite small. A compact and at the same time practical and comfortable bath of 4x4 m in size will then be the perfect solution. The main thing is to think carefully about the location of all the necessary rooms, then as a result you can get a comfortable and functional bath.

When drafting a 4x4 m bath, first of all, it is necessary to designate where all the key rooms will be located: the steam room, the washing room and the dressing room.

In this case, by all means take into account a number of nuances:

• If you plan to build a small bath, the best solution would be to divide the internal space into two equal parts.In one of them you can equip a rest room, and the second part should be divided into two parts, in which the steam room and the sink will be located separately. Under the steam room you can take a little more space by reducing the size of the washing room.

• The stove can be installed in any of the premises, but very often, in order to save space, it is installed near the wall in the rest room. In this matter it is very important to comply with all fire safety rules.
• It is advisable to supplement the planning of the bath with a small vestibule, which will ensure a comfortable stay in the steam room in winter. Here you can install the stove, thus saving space in other areas of the bath.

• The entrance to the bath can be equipped from any side - it depends mostly on the internal layout, as well as on the location of the bath on the site.
• Transitions between the rest room, the washroom and the steam room should be as comfortable as possible and ensure rapid movement from one room to another.
• There are no special requirements for the design of the steam room and the washing room.However, for the convenience of removing the drain pipes, it is better to arrange these rooms in such a way that the washing room is closer to the drainage pit.

• It is also necessary to provide windows in the bath. One window opening in a small bath of 4x4 m in size needs to be placed in the steam room and in the waiting room, you can choose any size of windows. Another window can be located in the washing room - it will also act as additional ventilation.

Dimensions of all bath rooms are determined by the available free space. It is better to make the steam room slightly more spacious than the washing room, since there are often several people in it at the same time, while the washing room serves only for rinsing the body and is visited by turns.

Requirements are also made for the steam room.

• Dimensions of the steam room should include a minimum of 1 square. m space for each person who will sit in this room. The space required for the installation of interior items and the organization of aisles is not included here - it must be provided separately.
• The height of the room should be at least two meters to ensure a comfortable stay in the room of people of different heights. Also, this height allows for optimum heating of the room.

Selection of the foundation of the bath is based on the type of soil. Most often, for the construction of a small bath, in which 4 people can simultaneously be present, the columnar brick foundation is enough.

The walls of the bath can be made of logs. A timber of 150x150 or 150x100 mm will fit.

The roof is best done from metal.

Coniferous lining of pine, cedar or larch is great for finishing the dressing room, as well as the washing room. And as a finishing material for the sauna should choose lining of deciduous trees: linden or aspen.

For walls of profiled timber can not use any additional finish.

It is very important when performing interior decoration of the steam room to perform high-quality insulation of walls and ceiling, so as to minimize heat loss.

Performing the interior decoration, you can use the owner's imagination to the full and create a unique interior design of the bath.

If the walls of the bath are made of timber, then to obtain a beautiful appearance, it must be sanded and the wood treated with a special substance that will protect the wooden material from rotting and ignition.

Exterior finish can be done with siding. Such a material will serve perfectly for many years, and the walls will be reliably protected from environmental damage.
