Construction and installation bath

Baths, steam room and brooms were used by mankind for hygienic and sanitary purposes. Peter the Great was a great admirer of the Russian bath> and did much to enhance the construction of bath houses throughout Russia. Russian bath became popular in western Europe after the victory over Napoleon. In Russia itself, bathhouse and is currently very popular. The most famous baths in Russia - is Sandunovsky and central bathhouse in Moscow. In almost any city in Russia are public baths. In the same villages, especially in Siberia, often every house has its own bath. With the expansion of suburban development in our country, the popularity of private baths are not reduced. So maybe you will be relevant tips and advice on building a sauna. First, you must choose a location for a future bath. From a neighbor's fence is necessary to withdraw not less than 3 meters, so as not to obscure the neighbor's plot. Need to calculate how much area will take a sauna. If you are thinking to build a classic bath, it should consist of the following premises: 1. Steam room, which will house the shelf and oven - stove steam (4-6,5 square meters.) 2. Waiting room or office that will house a shower, wash basin (4-6,5 square meters.) 3. Saloon (usually it comes out here fire door stove - stove) (10-20 square meters.) 4. WC (3-5 square meters.) 5. Storage room for storage of cans, buckets, brooms, etc. (7-10 square meters.) The average area of ??the bath gets about 40 square meters. m. Depending on soil properties, it is decided what type of foundation to build. Further, by using poles, ropes or fishing lines mark out the location of trenches for the foundation. Usually sufficient for the construction of baths strip foundation. In the construction of the basement under the bath must be very carefully considered, to take water from the bath and toilet. Water should be given for the perimeter of the basement, as the constant presence of moisture inside the bath is harmful to wooden structures - mold, fungus will appear immediately. It is also necessary to build the foundation and under the stove - the stove. Strip footing placed on a bed of sand about 10 cm and gravel about 10 cm body-based foundation can serve as a ready-made concrete blocks or reinforced concrete pouring. Reinforcement shall rebars with a diameter of 10-12 mm or wire 8 mm in diameter. Reinforcement produce horizontal rows and vertical connecting rods as well, but short. Between the elements of reinforcement are connected by electric wire or knitting. The entire perimeter of the base fixture is inseparable, or foundation can crack. Concrete pouring for the foundation consists of: - Cement - Part 1 - Sand - part 3 - Gravel - to 5 parts is important in the construction of the foundation to withstand the angles of 90 degrees and the level of the basement surface. This will greatly facilitate the installation log to the finished basement bath. Wall baths are made, usually made of logs (possibly rounded), or timber of different sections. What would the walls have successfully resisted the various fungi and beetles - Dry wood borers, they are treated special impregnation. Between the foundation and the first crown pave the waterproofing of log, for example, two layers of roofing material. The Wall is constructed carefully, laying between the logs or timbers tow or moss for insulation. Inside the steam room is better sheathe lining of lime, in extreme cases - of aspen. The shelves are made of linden, aspen, and the best material is wood Abashev. This type of wood has very interesting properties: shelves made from it does not heat up strongly and, accordingly, not burn the body. The length of the regiments usually 2-2,2 m. of floor covering in the sauna are made wooden lattice shelves. Themselves in the steam room floors do with a bias for what would be the water flowed to the drain. In the shower with floor to do the same. Doors, window frames can be set standard (special requirements for them are not presented). Bath is a bath, only if it is kiln. Most often the "heart" is a sauna stove - the stove. Its structure is such that it heats up the stones that hold heat in the steam room, and plesnuv bucket of water on the rocks, we get dry steam. If pairs of crude and heat does not stay in the steam room - which means blame the oven. Therefore, the construction of the furnace must pay the utmost attention. In addition, the furnace heats water for use during a visit to a bath. Stoves in baths typically operate on solid fuel - wood, coal. Firewood is best to use birch - they are the most calorie of heat transfer. Sometimes used in baths and ovens for liquid and gaseous fuels. In recent years, increasingly use the oven with electric heating. Especially characteristic of electric saunas. If the oven can heat the stones, which are in the oven should be about 60 kg per 1 cu. meter steam rooms, up to 200-250 degrees - this is sufficient that Steam would function correctly. Stones must not be less than 10 cm in diameter. Stones should not be made of sandstone - in the oven during baking, they turn into lime. The best stones for a bath - granite. Some people recommend a stone backfill to add iron ingots and the battle of pottery - it makes it easier to heat the stones and get a dry pair.
