Construction of a bath-house

Quite often in the territory of the building there is a shed. Of course, it can be demolished, but it is permissible to continue using it, having made a bath from it, which will last for quite a long time and will save on the creation of a new design. Bath-cabins generally have become quite common in recent times.

Pros of the new bath

If you still have not decided, get rid of the cabins or make a steam room from it, then you should consider the advantages of such a construction:

• Savings on the construction of a new building;
• Possibility to sell after reconstruction;
• There is no need to follow a step from the neighboring territory, this is due to the fact that the cabins act as a temporary structure;
• Mobile qualities inherent in the new bath.

The foundation of a new bath

Bath-houses do not assume the presence of a foundation, since their weight is insignificant. It will only be necessary to install a support under the support profile, which may be, for example, a cinder block or edging board. The main requirement in this case is the ability to level the floor surface at the required angle. But in the event that a completely specific place is allocated for a new bath-house, and in the future you do not intend to move it, you can build a capital foundation that will be based on foundation blocks or screw supports. It should be noted that some cabins have a very strong steel frame, this allows you to abandon the construction of a capital base at all.

Building layout

Initially, you should consider where the steam room will be located, since it should be divided with a rest room to prevent steam from entering the last one. In order for the cabins to comply with fire safety standards, it is necessary to ensure that the doors are opened outward. In terms of dimensions, the steam room should not be more than 2.5х2.2 m, whereas its height should not be made more than 2.3 m, otherwise it will be difficult for you to reach a high temperature within a short time. In addition, for a steam room with a more impressive area it will be necessary to purchase an expensive and powerful furnace.

In the role of wall decoration, it is recommended to use a lime binder, but a more budgetary option will be a pine one. The most suitable size of the opening will be 1.93x0.76 m, this is due to the common dimensions of the door to the sauna, which are equal to 1.9x0.7 m.

Internal arrangement

Bath-cabins must necessarily have benches for visitors to the steam room. But do not install them in tiers that contain more than 2 levels. The length of one shelf should exceed the height of the person, the most suitable parameter will be 2.2 m. But if the space of the room is limited, then we can take as a basis and less impressive dimensions of the shelves. As for the width of the bench, it should be equal to 70 cm, if done more, then it will not be very comfortable to sit.

Thermal insulation

The cabins for the bathhouse must be insulated. This will allow for a longer time to retain heat in the internal space of the steam room. It is not necessary to purchase expanded polystyrene for thermal insulation work. This is due to the fact that sometimes this material is not so high quality and contains toxic substances. Among other things, this insulation is not fireproof, and after all the bath is most exposed to fire and fire. The construction of bathhouse should be accompanied by the use of non-combustible materials such as mineral or stone wool. If the construction is conducted in warm regions, then the conduct of insulation is considered inexpedient because the design will be more expensive.

Regardless of the construction of the cabins, baths, houses, it is necessary to ensure that the building is completely safe. With respect to the first case, this involves analyzing the room of a steam room, before using it, care should be taken to ensure that there are no combustible or meltable materials, such as plastic elements, left in it. This is especially true for those baths, which were originally used only as foraging.

The former cabins are great for converting it to a bath, however, it is necessary to do this, following the rules of fire safety, which are paramount among others.
