Bath projects with attic
A bathhouse on the plot is the secret desire of every owner of the land and home ownership. The building has great value. It lies in the benefits for health and artistic beauty. In an effort to get an exclusive, many think about this option, as a bath with a loft. It has an undoubted majesty, is equipped with numerous nuances of design. Consider the subtleties of designing such a structure.
Special features
The exclusivity of the mansard baths implies the full implementation of a variety of design solutions. Select the option of home-bath, taking into account the characteristics. For lovers of designing different variations of buildings, a bath with a loft will be a great way to implement your own ideas.One of the main superstructure of the attic is a staircase. Lifting to the attic in the bath will require its presence.
It is necessary to carefully analyze the counterbalances taking into account the arguments for and against. Only after taking into account the basic characteristics of a private bath structure, consideration of design issues is allowed. Another structural feature of baths with a loft is the design of the roof. It is important to consider the limited attic. In order for this floor to be useful, roofing of a broken gable construction is often used.
A single-sided roof is undesirable; the type of the traditional dual slope variant is also not the most convenient. Tent roof structures are often used. With geometrical parameters more or less clear. Choose the option of lifting to the attic, taking into account one or another variant of the roof. For example, variants of a marching view are considered to be the most effective, but they are difficult to mount in small areas. Marching devices are especially poorly adapted to the construction of baths of 4x4 m.
Boltsev stairs equipped with the advantages of marching devices. Such systems can not be applied to frame structures, as they require a strong bearing support. Stairs are attached to the wall.If the bath is made of other materials, the device is perfectly acceptable for use.
Screw-type devices do not differ in convenience, but they are effective in terms of space saving. Often they become a lifesaver in the project of the attic bath 4x4 or 5x5 m.
The best version of the project with a veranda, a terrace and an attic involves placing the rooms in the following order:
- ground floor;
- steam room;
- shower or washbill;
- vestibule;
- small veranda.
The veranda is often used as a dining area, filling with benches, chairs, tables. This space is usually open, so an atmosphere of simple natural beauty is created. However, the veranda is sometimes sacrificed in order to increase the internal area of the bath. Arrangement of a berth, a game room (for example, a billiard room), a storeroom is allowed on the mansard square. If the attic is a pantry, it is more expedient to equip the resting place at the bottom. For comfort in the attic should be provided with a total height of the room from 2.5 meters.
Materials for construction
In the modern market there are many varieties of building materials that are permissible to apply for any bath. For example, they are built from:
- timber;
- logs;
- foam blocks;
- wood and wooden blocks;
- aerated concrete;
- rounded logs;
- frame blocks;
- glued timber;
- finished log;
- bricks.
If there is a brick, foam concrete and aerated concrete in the project, the walls require the presence of lining, and inside and outside. This feature is interrelated with the technical qualities of materials. For example, a brick bath without insulation will be cold. The qualities of aerated concrete and foam concrete are almost the same. Structural pores of these materials are able to collapse under the influence of high humidity and temperature difference. In this case, the lining of the foundations is important to perform with the construction of the structure.
The most suitable material for building a bath is wood. Wood has ecological purity, reliability and durability, practicality and durability. In such a construction used and frame technology. At the same time the framework is allowed both wooden, and metal. Facing is mounted on top of the frame. Be sure to choose for such facilities quality insulation that will serve as insulation of the entire structure.
Finishing frame construction can be made of:
- wood;
- block panels;
- lining
Interior trim can be made of plastic. The most economical and profitable technology for the construction of baths - frame. For the frame does not need a massive foundation. Building materials in this case are not the most expensive. Yes, and the weight of the building will not have an additional impact on the ground.
Determining the material of the bathhouse is an important step. In the building stores there are typical designers of prefabricated elements. On the basis of standard designs buy assembly kit. Parts of the designer can be made with your own hands. For the construction of baths, wood materials (for example, timber, logs, rounded wood) are more often used, and block panels are often considered. Having dealt with the raw materials of construction, go to the design.
Projects
Projects bath with attic differ in size and layout. The most popular of them include buildings 6x6, 6 by 4 m. Despite the fact that the buildings are compact and usually get simple, they provide a good rest. This option is suitable for a small number of people, as well as those who do not have extra space on the site.
The project plan of 6x4 m involves the placement of:
- steam rooms;
- shower;
- tambour;
- verandas.
Some small projects do not imply a veranda. Sometimes the area of the entrance zone turns into a rest room. In this case, a guest room is located on the attic floor. Sometimes the attic involves the placement of a pantry.
The staircase is placed so as not to clutter the room of the bath. Structures 6x6 or 4x6 m will also not occupy the territory of the site. Equipped attic will make the area of the building more useful. At the same time, the internal dimensions of bath rooms can vary at the request of the owner during construction.
The project of a bath with an attic of 6x8 m usually accommodates everything needed for a large company to rest. This layout of the building even includes a bathroom. More often, there is a large terrace, there is a lounge area of 20 square meters. The room accommodates standard furniture and even a large table. At the table fit a company of several people, while there will be a place for free use.
The building includes a classic shower, a room for rest. On the attic floor there is a free bedroom. This may be a billiard room, tennis or gym. The material of the building will serve profiled timber.
A good compromise is the layout of the baths 5x5 5x6, 5 by 9 m. In order to enjoy a visit to a small bath, it is necessary to carefully calculate everything. The location of the rooms is important to take into account a well thought-out plan. For example, in a small bath of 5x5 m there will be an entrance hall, a washing room, a steam room, a rest room or a pantry on the attic.
Choosing the right log house project is always a search for a compromise. Bath should be arranged in all dimensions. When choosing a 6x9 or 7x8m bath, it is important to seriously approach the marking of the site. Properly consider the placement of the bath (especially if the land is only 6 acres).
Another important parameter is the cost of construction. A large-sized log house will require a larger area on the site. For example, a log house with parameters of 4x6 m will cost 10,000-15,000 rubles more than a 4x5 m bath. For a larger bath, it will take more time and fuel for heating. The temperature in the steam room should be sufficient for the heat.
An important parameter to choose the size of the bath is the number of people who will visit it. If the number of lovers to steam up does not exceed two people, it is enough to build a small-sized and low structure. For a large family and regular guests need a large structure.To designate the layout correctly, draw the drawings.
Zones
Let's say it was decided to build a log house of 5x5 meters.
If we consider the standard plans of functional zones, the main ones are three:
- waiting room;
- washing up;
- steam room.
The option of planning a 5x5 m bath implies placing the firebox not in a waiting room, but in a separate corner separated by a wall. The same wall of the waiting room is separated from the steam room. The pre-family room is spacious. It is convenient to place a table and benches in it, as well as hangers. This room can be a living room.
Bath 5x5 m will accommodate a company of 5-6 people. The attic floor in such a bath is often used as a small lounge. Attic can be equipped with a toilet and shower room. Be sure to think about communication.
In the bath 5x5 m it is important to properly install the door. For example, from the guest it is important to directly get into the washroom. This placement will not allow heat loss from the steam room. Shower can be allocated a little less space than the steam room. Carefully plan a steam room. It is important to carefully consider the shape and size of the shelves.
Do not forget that part of the area will go under the stove and the heater.Its location should not be tight to the wall, otherwise there will be a risk of fire to the plating and wooden walls. Expand the area of small baths by supplying the building with a terrace. A small terrace can serve as a summer kitchen. The construction of the terrace will increase the amount of building material.
Communications
The rules involve the preparation of the draft building at the same time as the posting of all necessary communications. Be sure to need water, light (sometimes gas). The laying of water pipes takes place during the construction of the structure. Do not lose sight of the installation of high-quality ventilation systems in all rooms (including in the rest rooms), otherwise the humidity will increase. Moist air will cause fungus on the walls. Some types of building material will begin to collapse quickly.
To maintain optimal heat in winter, it is important to provide a heating design. Only with additional heating can you achieve optimum cold temperatures. In addition to ventilation in the bath room, it is important to provide high-quality waterproofing and insulation.Installation of communication systems in a two-story building is easier to implement than in a single-story building with extensions.
Tips
Work related to planning is a crucial stage in the construction of a bath. It must be approached with all responsibility.
After resolving the issue with planning, identify the following important organizational steps:
- Adopt popular sizes: 6x4, 6x6, 6x8 m.
- Think over the materials from which the bath will be constructed.
- You can download the program on the PC "3D modeling". This will simplify the planning phase.
The standard layout of the rooms is usually:
- entrance from the terrace to a small hallway;
- there is a rest room or a waiting room;
- behind her are two exits: to the bathroom and the steam room.
Sometimes the shower and steam room provide an additional entrance between them. All this is located on the first floor. The second floor is more often used for entertainment, recreation or business needs. Sometimes on the second floor there is a solarium. This adds comfort to the rest of a large company.
Buy a ready type designer. Create a standard bath from the assembly kit. Coming up with your own options for details of the arrangement is more difficultIf the soil properties at the site are unstable, use frame constructors for the construction of the attic complex. Strengthening the basement of the bath will be facilitated by columnar and screw designs of the foundation.
A weak soil in any case will require powerful piles or special armlent. In the construction, approximate in shape to the cube (with roofing rooms), less heat loss. To warm such a bath will require less wood and time. A single-story building with the same parameters and ancillary rooms at the bottom will require more firewood and time for heating.
In addition to the properties of the soil, it is important to take into account the aesthetics of the location of the bath on the site. The project with an attic and a terrace implies the presence of the monitored landscapes. They will be a significant component of the rest. Do not forget to protect the under-roof room from temperature extremes. This is difficult, since heat and humidity will penetrate from the bottom to the floor, and the summer sun will heat the roof. In winter, the attic floor will be particularly cold.
Pay attention to waterproofing in the floor and under-roof space.Modern building materials allow you to combine a Russian bath for a couple with a stove with a house under a common roof and attic floor. Such a project of a house-sauna is not deprived of advantages, but it also has disadvantages. The main difference of such projects from ordinary houses and baths is the shape of the roof, which can not but affect the supporting structures. Consider the thickness of the walls and the depth of the foundation. Think over the functional features of housing.
Beautiful examples
Consider beautiful examples of a bath with a loft. Some examples of projects involve combining a steam room with a lounge on the first floor. Then the recreation room is settled in the attic. A good project places a steam room, shower, dressing room, bathroom, rest room. The second floor (attic) can be used as a bedroom, hall, not forgetting about the balcony.
Spacious mansard baths are especially popular today: it is inexpedient to equip the mansard floor in a tiny structure. Modest log houses of 3x4 or 4x4 m are expanded by increasing the volume of the first floor. There may be a full-fledged gaming room or a cinema. The mansard bath is often complemented by a veranda. Sit at a large table more comfortable in the fresh rest.
