Bath size 6 to 3: features of the layout

In Russia, always loved to bathe in the bath. Time passes, but tastes do not change. Almost every owner of a cottage or a country house dreams of a bath, but not everyone decides to build it. This article will talk about how to fulfill the dream, making the design and construction process less complicated.

Bath of this size is 16.8 square meters. of the usable area, 21.8 - of the total area, 23.2 - of the construction area under the foundation. It can simultaneously be four people. This is quite enough for a family or a small group of friends. Bath 3x6 meters consists of a steam room, shower, rest room and vestibule (dressing room).

The building is divided into three sectors, 2 m each. There is a steam room on the right, a shower room in the center, and a rest room on the left. The shower is divided into two parts, 1/3 of its area is given under the platform.At the entrance to the room a porch is erected with a visor that protects from the sun and rain. There are other options: sometimes a 6 meter by 3 meter bath, lined up with a veranda under one roof or combined with a terrace. In the warm season, a person can, out of the steam room, relax in the fresh air.

Often, a bath is made part of a home or summer kitchen. Such a neighborhood can lead to increased humidity of adjacent structures. To avoid this, you should carefully consider the waterproofing of the room and the ventilation system.

It is necessary to decide what you will build a bath from, because it should be comfortable, durable, have a pleasant appearance. Most often used timber, brick and various blocks. Each of these materials has its own advantages and disadvantages.

In the construction of logs or timber is very comfortable. A pleasant aroma emanates from the walls, they let in air and steam, retain heat.The cost of heating in such cases is small. The disadvantages include forced care for the building, without which it will lose its attractiveness under the influence of the external environment.

A bath made of brick will cost more than the option of a timber, but it will be more durable and will last up to 150 years. Such buildings have good thermal insulation properties, look great and do not need special care. However, brick buildings are more heat-intensive than wood, have less vapor conductivity. This means that it will take longer to heat such a bath, and you also need a good ventilation system.

Foam blocks are lightweight porous material, it can be formed in large blocks, so objects are built very quickly.

Sometimes used for the construction of cinder blocks. They have good thermal insulation, weigh a little, they are easy to work with.

If the bath project has already been drawn up, the drawings are approved, and the materials are chosen, they begin to build a foundation on the prepared flat area. It is lowered to the level of soil freezing, given the location of groundwater. The foundation is made of brick and concrete. It should rise 20 centimeters above the ground so that the wooden walls do not rot. After a few months, when everything dries out well, you can start building.

Waterproofing is necessary before building walls. (treat the foundation with mastic or put roofing material). Then on the waterproofing along the contour of the future walls, a mounting foam is applied and the first row of the beam is fixed. During this period, you need to be especially careful, because the first crown depends on how smooth the walls will be. The timber is impregnated with an antibacterial mixture even before the construction of the bath. Then build the remaining rows of the log house, paving each of them with jute insulation.

At the final stage of construction, the roof is covered, doors and windows are installed. For the construction of the roof on the last beam walls stack beams. They fasten rafters with a distance of one meter.Then under the roofing material set crate. The frame is sheathed with a metal tile or professional sheet. Plywood is laid under soft tile.

When installing the door frame, it is necessary to expose it to the floor and walls with the help of a plumb as even as possible, otherwise the door will not open. It should be left between the wall and the door 80 mm to shrink the structure. The door frame will need to be fixed, and the cracks processed with mounting foam.

For a bath 6 by 3 meters provide several small windows. After the building shrinks, the windows and the door frame are insulated.

An ideal stove for a bath should be safe and do well with its responsibilities (reheat water, stones and warm the air in the steam room). The choice of the furnace itself remains for the customer. It can be a stove, electric oven or gas boiler. Savings on the purchase of the furnace can cost you more, because cheap Chinese counterparts are quickly failing. Also, do not take coal as a fuel, it is better to use wood.

What is important is not only the appearance of the building, but also the arrangement of indoor space. Quality materials help create a very attractive design.

For interior use tile, wall paneling made of natural wood, weaving wicker and beech, a material that imitates timber. It is possible to sheathe wood floor, walls and ceiling. In such a room will be easy to breathe and enjoyable to be. To work with clapboard install frame and mount the crate. It should be noted that the wood heats up due to the high temperature, therefore a gap is left between the wall and the cladding, which affects the total area of ​​the room.

A dressing room is a small room in which they change clothes. In this case, it plays the role of a vestibule between the room and the external environment. Here you can place a coat hanger, narrow bench or stool.

In the recreation room I set up a table, chairs, a bench, and even a TV. You will also need a drawer or cupboard.

The main room in the bath is a steam room. It is necessary to ensure good air circulation. Materials for this compartment choose high-quality and durable. For example, lime has proven itself well.It smells like honey, is easy to install and does not deform. The wood of pine and other coniferous plants in rooms with high temperatures can not be used, because they emit a sharp specific odor. They can be left to finish the vestibule.

If there is a need to increase the steam room, it is combined with a shower room. Although experts do not recommend combining them, such a project makes it possible to be in a steam room for more people at the same time.

Washing (shower) - a room with a large concentration of moisture. Here air circulation should be well established, and moisture-proof materials, for example, ceramics, should be used. Wet tiled floor becomes slippery, so it should be covered with rubber mats or wooden ladders. In the washing room you can install a shower cabin, put a bench or a sunbed, hang a wooden bucket with cold water.We also need towel hooks and a shelf for hygiene products.

This way all the rooms of the bathhouse are made out; there is nothing complicated about it. Many owners of private sites cope with this work on their own, because to wash and relax in the bath, built with their own hands, is especially nice.
