Construction bath with his own hands

Recommend that the construction of saunas separately from the house or inside it. In some cases, they are building in an annexe to the house or outbuildings. Place the construction of such structures on the plot is coordinated with the local architecture and construction authorities, fire inspection and sanepidemstantsiey and determined in accordance with the general plan of development of rural community or urban settlement. For the construction of baths or saunas require permission of the executive authority in your area. It is best to build a bath or sauna on the sloping bank of a river, lake, pond, sheltered from the wind the trees. If this is not possible, then on the plot it is desirable to build (subject to availability), Swimming pool depth of 1,5-2,5 m. The gravity drainage of contaminated water bath, a sauna is placed on higher ground. The site area for the construction of baths should be such that it can be placed on the shed and fuel storage and inventory. For lighting, water supply and sewage from the bath is advisable to use existing engineering facilities. The distance between the outermost houses or Combining two adjacent pairs (groups of) buildings (baths) should be 8.10 meters (depending on the fire resistance of buildings). Orient the bath is usually the windows to the west, as the rays of the setting sun, filling the room bath and dressing room create a sense of calm. In rural settings appropriate to build sauna rooms with soap, which can wash clothes and bathe the children and for those who steam room procedures are contraindicated.

The rules of painting metal

More recently, the idea of ??painted metal surfaces with water-dispersion paints seemed utopian. The most common of the metals - iron is very rapidly oxidized in the presence of water, and then water-emulsion paint. Conventional water-dispersion paints, of course, are not suitable for these purposes. In this case, need specialized materials that form a dense protective coating, have corrosion resistance and have good adhesion to the metal. All of these problems, scientists were able to solve at once. Now in Europe it came to that water-dispersion paints were used in difficult areas such as automobile and shipbuilding. We shall not running too so far, and consider the possibility of painting the metal surfaces in the building. Let's start with the most complex - of the roof. Metal roofs can be divided into three groups according to the materials used. The first - from the black iron. Second - galvanized iron. The third - non-ferrous metals: aluminum, its alloys, copper, etc. The third group is extremely rare because of high cost, and therefore consider it not worth it. The first and second - much more accessible and widespread, although much more expensive than slate. With a black iron all clear, it must necessarily paint. Typically, for these purposes in Russia in the old used oil and alkyd paints. Those who love often paint may do so in the future. For the "lazy" may be advised acrylic aqueous dispersion enamel to the roof with an anticorrosive effect. Such coverage will cost you a bit more expensive than oil or alkyd paint, but will last much longer.

The roof construction

Choosing a carrier of the roof structure primarily due to the architectural image of the entire building, on which work together in an investor and an architect. At the cottage styled country house, the roof will be one, and at townhouse in modern forms - is another. In addition, the degree of complexity of design, and thus its value affects several factors: the distance between the inner bearing walls and location of bearing walls (they will be based design) significantly restrict the choice of design solutions roofs and floors. Unsupported spans of up to 5 m are small, and over 5 m - big; Planned use of the attic space - this is basic information for the architect and designer. Alya residential attic floors is desired height over 2,5 m, while non-residential loft can have a height of 1.9 m, angle of the roof to the selected roofing material, which, in turn, depends on the architectural design of the house, her edge wall. It is called ma-uerlatom. The lower part of the roof can rely on short beams - fillies, which serve as a continuation of the rafters. For thousands of years of roof structures to develop reliable construction solutions to build a roof on the building cost of any plan. Thus, for large spans using additional elements of truss construction - beams, bracing and tightening. If the architectural problem is more complicated, for example to block the passage of 12 m over some indoor premises, used trusses. They are considered more complex structures and therefore cost more.

Country version of the bath

In this article we will consider only version of separate sauna, which is a special building. This solitary structure includes, as a rule, not only steam but also the room where preparing for the procedure, rest and dress. Where to put the most common village bathhouse erected at some distance from home, but it's just some tribute to the tradition. Sauna can be used and extension to dwelling house. Rigid and unambiguous rules, requirements or restrictions to the location and orientation of the sauna on the ground does not exist. There are only a certain set of recommendations based on - the experience of their construction and rationality. If the area is a pond, it is natural to set the sauna on the shore. To avoid flooding it up on stilts or not closer to the 10-15 m slice of water. Place for a sauna is usually chosen a secluded, hidden by trees or shrubs from prying eyes, and the distance from it to the house or outbuildings shall not be less than 5 m. It is reasonable to orient a freestanding bath and around the world - in some cases it makes it easier . So, the door is best done in the southern wall. In winter there is less snow drifts have rarely wield a shovel, and snow in the spring on the south side will melt faster. Window dressing room is recommended to have in the west wall, in this case to illuminate the space will be used as the setting sun. And of course, choosing a location for a sauna, you need to take into account the possibility of summing up her utilities.

Ceramic tile

What is the reason for this success shingles? First of all - the attractiveness and durability, during which the material retains its technical and aesthetic properties. Ceramic tile is securely protected from the weather - it can withstand more than 150 cycles of freezing and thawing. This material is resistant to external influences - acid rain, solar radiation, extreme temperatures, and also copes with the function of heat and sound insulation. Small size of individual elements to cover the roof of the most complex shapes without large amounts of prirezki material. Shingles provides optimal ventilation conditions subcritical velnogo space. Types of tiles ceramic tiles - this piece of plastic roofing material fusible clays by firing. It can be an S-shaped, undulating, high-and low-profile, bespazovoy (flat), and trough. Natural color of ceramic tile, depending on the composition of clay and firing modes are red-brown or yellow-gray shades. Over time, it is covered by a noble patina and slightly darker. And on the market today a variety of colors clay tiles is the result of engobing - drawing on a blank tile surface of a special solution - engobe. It is composed of powdered clay mixed with water and various minerals, which give by firing the appropriate palette. Glazed tile is good because over time it does not change its color. Another way to impart non-traditional colors - glazing. Before firing, the surface of workpiece shingles applied vitreous mass. Under high temperatures it solidifies, forming a protective layer.

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.

Aesthetic standard

The authority of a natural tile, conquered over the centuries, does not waver even after people started using alternative forms of metal roofing, bitumen, polymers. But until now, their background, ceramic tile is an aesthetic standard, a symbol of prestige, wealth and prosperity. Not surprisingly, the more modern roofing systems have not received even own the original title and as an honorary title, have the name of their glorious predecessors: asphalt shingles, tile polymer-sand, metal ... True, there are in this series product, as close to its virtues to the original and in appearance, and the degree of closeness to nature, - tile cement and sand, or concrete. And it is no coincidence these two materials often incorporated the term "natural tiles. Content of the "natural product" refers to the fact that it is made from natural materials. This is equally true for the ceramic, and concrete tiles, manufactured using natural minerals. Therefore, the cement and sand, and clay tiles on the characteristics and environmental performance are almost identical. The chemical composition of clay - is a complex compound of silicon oxide (a natural quartz sand), aluminum oxide doped with iron oxide, which gives it a red hue, typical of ceramics. To enhance the decorative effect of the ceramic tile glaze (vitreous coating is applied and secured firing) or angobiruyut (coated with clay from the CEE-toobrazuyuschimi additives). Cement - a material obtained by fine grinding of limestone (calcium oxide), fired with clay at a temperature of 1000 "followed by the addition of gypsum (calcium sulfate).

Designing baths

When designing baths primarily calculated area of ??the house and individual rooms. To determine the total size is sufficient to know the minimal acceptable standards. Thus, each person should have not less than 1 m2 sauna and changing room 1,3-1,5 m2. If the bath is not combined with other structures, its area must be at least 1 0 m 2, and the ratio of steam rooms, washing and rest rooms - be 1:1,5:2. During the construction of baths for 3-4 people optimal plan dimensions are 3x5 or 3 x 6 m. This is due to the possibility of creating a comfortable space planning. As for the height of ceilings, it is calculated as follows: above the upper-level stone-oven stoves have the upper shelves. Who sits on it the person needs to ensure ease of use a broom, and this should be left up to the ceiling space of not less than 1,1 m. Most often the stones in the furnace are at a level of 1 m, because the most common ceiling height in the steam room is 2,1 m. This value is observed in almost all Finnish sauna, in addition, many experts recommend to stick with it and the construction of Russian baths. The reason is that a decrease in height may be problems with ventilation, while increasing - there are difficulties with heating facilities. There are also certain requirements and to the size of regiments. Optimal width for them is 70 cm (in this case fit on a shelf adult male). The upper bench, as a rule, do already - 40 - 50 cm Recommended height of the top shelf - 105 - 115, see also the size of pay great attention to the regiment.

What kind of paint are needed in the bedroom?

Designers believe that the foundation of any interior is the color. Correct color combinations are not only able to set the mood in the house, but a beneficial effect on their hosts. In addition, color can smooth the impression of weakness banal layout. In the lightweight version of the human perception of any solid color can be irritating, it requires a contrast - and a psychologist says designer Gregory Belyaev. - So when you make an apartment should not give preference to any one color, especially if it belongs to the so-called active palette (yellow, orange, red) - long stay in this room would be psychologically difficult. Color is always possible to dilute, to facilitate or, conversely, heavier. Importantly, avoid strong contrasts - they quickly tire the eyes. Combine at least three colors, and in a room with low light, use of color, diluted with white. Bed in bed So good match between a muted blue and yellow hues, calming effect creates a shallow light-green color - this option is ideal for bedrooms, - advises Gregory Belyaev. - For a child, choose saturated colors purple, green, blue and pink. Neutral looks composition of blue, yellow and white flowers - in such a room is good and relax, and work. Special comfort to fill the atmosphere is possible by means of golden-brown scales. Grey's ambitions Topical now able to give tired Orange black and white interior joyful warmth and high spirits - says designer Alexander Panshina. - Attractive, this color looks in the interior of country music or folk music.

Parade walkway

If the trees were soldiers, they lined up to a column by one. But trees for military service unprofitable, but to create a landscape fit perfectly. And freezes in a silent parade, lined up in rows and alleys. Trees planted in a line, form a series. Common ordinary landing mostly in parks. In the old days they outlined the boundaries of estates - do not come to mind when people put the three-meter fence. Used for this purpose, large trees with a powerful long-lived: linden, oak, fir, spruce. Series of large - 1 st value - trees in historic parks are called tapestries. Conducting border - still the main function of tree rows. They limit the different zones of the site, planted along the fence. Rows of trees to protect from prying eyes of the noise, dust and wind, eliminate hosts from the boring look of the surroundings and the form in its own impenetrable fence. Straight and forward! If the rows of trees lined the road in front of us alley. The road there may be broad and narrow, car and pedestrian, is divided into two or three paintings. To call it a mall, you need one condition: The road should be straight. (However, experts in landscaping plant around the trees and the curves of the road. To justify it can be in one case: when are they going to resort to the reception on gardening slang termed "ah-ah." "Ah-ah!" - exclaims aesthetically sensitive person, when his gaze suddenly presents a dizzying view. For example, he just walked along the winding road, and saw on both sides of a monotonous trunks, branches, so leaves.
