Planning baths with a rest room: what to consider?

About this Russian bath you can talk a lot. Therapeutic and preventive properties of bath procedures are known to everyone. Since ancient times, people appreciated and enjoyed them. Fans of steam in the summer were engaged in harvesting birch brooms for the whole season. The old Russian tradition of steaming with a birch broom has been preserved to our times.

Spacious, modern bathroom facilities are a bit like a residential building and are significantly different from their predecessors. In addition to the traditional steam room and the dressing room, separate rooms for rest and bathrooms are equipped in the modern steam rooms.

Before the construction of the sauna room begins, it is necessary to choose a suitable place on the site. The building should not be too close to the living quarters, roads, wells. The distance to the sewage, toilets should be as remote as possible.Excluded areas with surface location of groundwater.

The sides of the world also play an important role. If possible, the window openings of the sauna room should be located on the west side, this will provide access to sunlight. Entrance doorways are better located on the south side. This will avoid large snowdrifts near the entrance to the building during the winter season.

Next, you need to carefully plan the location of the main premises: steam rooms, dressing rooms, washroom and rest rooms. For this purpose, a detailed project is prepared taking into account all wishes, requirements and financial capabilities of the developer.

Before construction, you need to purchase some building materials:

1. timber from a tree or calibrated logs (depending on the wishes of the developer);
2. for interior decoration you will need a certain amount of lining;
3. for the foundation you will need a brick, aerated concrete blocks;
4. it is better to close the roof of the building using metal tile - this is the most practical and durable coating.

It is not necessary to do a complex project, the most important thing is to make the room as comfortable and convenient as possible. You can use a simple project in the construction of the bath, according to which it is enough just to divide the room into two parts. In the first compartment there will be a waiting room, a rest room, then in the second part of the room there is a steam room combined with a washroom. This arrangement is ideal for small-sized buildings.

In case the location of the steam room and washing station is planned, it is necessary to correctly calculate the area of ​​each compartment. There are no window openings in the steam room, as it is necessary to maintain high temperatures in this compartment.

The construction of a more spacious bath with additional rooms, for example, a veranda, implies the development of a detailed project.The project must take into account all the slightest nuances, the distinctive features of the land and located nearby residential and ancillary buildings.

In addition to the traditional steam room, dressing room and washing room, spacious bath buildings imply the presence of a small pool, a separate room for playing billiards and an original open veranda. The project of baths of this scale implies the presence of a toilet and a shower stall.

A dressing room in the sauna room plays the role of a barrier, prevents the flow of cold air from the street into the washing room and the steam room. Hot air in the room cools down less, which is especially important during the cold season.

Absolutely any, even a very small bathhouse structure is not complete without a waiting room and a rest room. In this compartment, a person rests after a hot steam room.You can gather after the bath procedures in pleasant company with a cup of fragrant tea.

Currently, rest rooms are equipped with a TV, a sofa for greater comfort, wardrobes and shelves for things and food, a small refrigerator. Especially for women in the waiting room must have a mirror.

Also in the dressing room there is a special cupboard in which everything necessary for the steam room is stored: various brooms, herbs, tinctures.

Perhaps the most important room in the bath. Distinctive features of this room are the absence of window openings and the small size of the steam room itself. Its dimensions depend on the building materials, with the help of which the building was erected and the interior was completed.

When building a steam room, the technical characteristics of the furnace must be taken into account, the optimal place for its location. It takes into account the required number of shelves and the method of their placement. All fire safety requirements are complied with.
