Scheme of a bath with a steam room and a sink. How to plan a bath: step by step instructions

The question of how to make a steam room in a bath is more than relevant and this is not surprising, since without a steam room a real bath is impossible in principle. The comfort and safety of the bath operation largely depends on how well the steam room is made.

So, can a steam room for a bath be made independently, or is it still necessary to invite specialists who, for a certain fee, will cope with the task?

Arrangement stages

Bath with a steam room and a sink, built on their own at their summer cottage or close to country house, it's not that uncommon.

The construction of this facility is a phased work, including the following points:

  • Project development;
  • Warming;
  • Carrying out finishing works;
  • Installation of the furnace and shelves;
  • Door installation.

Design

Any DIY construction begins with design. From this stage depends on how convenient the bath you built will be in use..

The correctly planned location of the stove in the steam room, the presence of ventilation, the optimally selected ceiling height, remoteness from and many other points should be reflected in the project. The use of standard bath projects is complicated by the fact that the location of the steam room is indicated there and nothing more.

Important: the design of the steam room must necessarily take into account the maximum number of potential visitors.

The standard dimensions of the steam room in the bath are 2 x 2.4 meters, which is enough to comfortably accommodate 2-3 people. The height of the room should be no more than 2.2 and at least 2 meters, so that a tall person can use the steam room almost without bending down.

thermal insulation

A well-executed sauna steam room project is not a guarantee that you will be provided with the required comfort. Taking into account that the optimal effect of staying in a steam room is achieved due to high temperature, it is important to take care of high-quality thermal insulation of the room. Thermal insulation can be of two types: the one that is carried out at the stage of construction of the bath and the one that is performed during the implementation of the complex of finishing works.

If a bath with a separate steam room is built from a bar, in without fail we use interventional insulation, such as jute tape. At the end of the construction of the walls, the sealing of the cuts is also carried out.

Wood is initially characterized by a low degree of thermal conductivity, in addition, the tongue-and-groove connection used in the construction of walls from timber provides optimal tightness. But only high-quality insulation will quickly raise the temperature in the steam room to optimal parameters and keep it for a long time.

In order to reduce possible heat losses to zero, when designing a steam room, it is necessary to abandon windows. Instead of windows, you can use artificial lighting, the brightness of which can be selected according to your preferences.

Finishing work

Finishing the steam room in the bath is a very important point, taking into account the high temperatures and high humidity parameters typical for a steam room. In addition, at the stage of finishing work, it is necessary to establish lighting in the steam room of the bath. Regardless of the type of building as a whole, the pair compartment is sheathed with wood from the inside.

The main requirements for finishing material in this case is:

  • compliance with environmental safety standards;
  • structure with a small number of pores;
  • resistance to high temperatures;
  • low price and availability for sale;
  • aesthetic appeal of the cut texture without the need for additional processing;
  • light weight;
  • ease of machining and, as a result, ease of installation work.

Important: lumber, which is used for finishing in the steam room in the bath, cannot be impregnated with drying oil or varnished, since when heated, such a coating will cause extraneous odors.

Finishing the steam room, including walls and ceiling, is carried out as follows:

  • glassine or a vapor barrier membrane is attached to the rough surface;
  • over the vapor barrier, a crate of 50 * 50 mm timber is stuffed with a step between adjacent beams of no more than 50 cm;
  • insulation is placed between the bars ( mineral wool or glass wool);
  • vapor barrier strips are attached over the insulation with an overlap of 10-15 cm;
  • a wooden lining is stuffed over the vapor barrier; as an option, a block house can be mounted on the walls.

The instruction for making the floor involves the use of boards 20 * 2.5 cm. The floorboards are laid on logs, between which insulation is poured, most often it is large or medium expanded clay.

Considering the abundance wooden surfaces need to take care of their safety. Protect the floor from the damaging effects of excessive moisture produced on the basis of vegetable oils.

Such impregnations penetrate into the surface layers of wood and prevent the boards from getting wet. At the same time, when heated, oil-based impregnation does not emit foreign odors, as happens with carpentry varnish.

For guard wooden finish walls can be impregnated with oil and wax. Such products are absorbed into the wood, while a thin waxy film remains on the surface. This film contributes to the rapid flow of condensate down the walls.

Furnace installation and furniture installation

It is rather problematic to assemble a good stove for a real Russian bath on your own. It is much easier to purchase a ready-made stove-heater made by professionals at the factory and install it according to the initially developed project.

Currently, specialized companies produce and offer for sale furnaces in the classic or vice versa modern design. You can purchase a unit with a deaf, uninformative door, or you can buy a stove with a modern transparent tempered glass hatch.

Most stoves for use in the steam room are made of sheet steel. The simplest modifications are a tank for burning fuel and an open tank for heating stone backfill. More complex modifications can heat running water or water accumulated in the boiler.

A solid concrete platform is being prepared for the installation of the furnace at the construction stage of the bath. That part of the walls to which the unit adjoins is laid out with heat-resistant bricks.

Modern stoves for use in a steam room should have such qualities as:

  • increased operational resource;
  • safety of operation and maintenance;
  • efficient removal of exhaust gases to the outside;
  • sufficient draft in the furnace for quick and easy ignition;
  • the possibility of using both firewood and coal as fuel.

Important: not any stones are used in the bath for the steam room, but mostly large-sized pebbles, which do not crack due to a sharp change in temperature.

Steam room furniture can be purchased at ready-made or made by yourself. All household items that are installed in this part of the bath are made exclusively of wood. The fact is that plastic does not withstand high temperatures, while the metal will heat up, which will result in discomfort.

Door installation

Today doors for baths are made by a number of specialized firms to order. On the other hand, solid wooden structure you can assemble it yourself and the result will be no worse than the quality of the purchased product. Features of the installation of doors depend on the material from which the entire bath is built.

If the walls are made of timber, then the doorway is framed, into which the frame is mounted and then the canvas is installed. If the walls are made of foam block, then the opening for installing the door is made at the stage of laying the walls.

Conclusion

A steam room is an essential attribute of every full-fledged bath. To equip a small room is within the power of everyone and for this it is not necessary to resort to the help of specialists. It is enough to purchase a lining made of natural aspen or larch, buy a stove-heater, install wooden furniture and the steam room is ready for operation. More interesting information, you can find by watching the video in this article.

The main task in the construction of a bath is to create a structure that will keep heat well. For these purposes, a profiled beam with a fairly low thermal conductivity is well suited.

In practice, the layout of the 4x4 bath is very clear and uncomplicated, so the construction of such a structure does not take much time. The entire internal area of ​​the bath is divided by an elegant partition into two functional halves. In one part there is a rest room, and the entrance to the bath itself. In the second half, which is separated by an additional partition, there is a soap and steam area, which has the same area. The simple layout of the 4x4 bathhouse photo shows that it has two internal doors - one leads to the soap room from the relaxation room, and the other separates the steam room.


Bath has daylight- in the relaxation room there is a winter double-leaf window, and in the steam room a window opens. A solid profiled beam is able to provide a tight connection of individual elements to each other. For additional compaction and elimination of shrinkage, flax-jute material is placed between the individual crowns. The bathhouse also has a 1.5 meter ridge, which forms an additional room in the form of an attic, which will additionally serve as thermal insulation for such a bathhouse. The log cabin of the bath is treated with an antiseptic that prevents damage to wood. During this treatment, the wood acquires color and protection. Inside, the bath room is sheathed with clapboard, dried in a chamber way, and the steam room itself is finished with aspen panels. According to its properties, such a tree corresponds to rooms with high humidity and temperatures.

Bath 5x5

This layout of the 5x5 bath meets all the requirements that apply to such premises. The steam room of such a bath is also finished with aspen clapboard, which is moisture resistant, and evenly distributes heat in the room, and also does not emit tar.


Heat-reflecting foil is laid under the clapboard, which helps to accelerate heating and maintain temperature. The rest room and soap room are finished with pine clapboard, which contributes to easy breathing. In a 5x5 bath, thermal insulation of a soapy and rest room is provided. Insulation applies not only to walls, but also to the ceiling, as well as to the frame-panel partition. There is a drain in the floor of the soap room, while the floor in the relaxation room is made in a double version.

Bath project 3x6 and 6x4

Such a layout of the 3x6 bath suggests the presence of a modern wood-burning VPK stove, which is built into the partition between the steam room and the relaxation room. The design of such a furnace involves the location of the firebox in the soap room, and the heater in the steam room. The heater is heated by flue carbon monoxide gases that exit the furnace through a special steel sheet.


The heating temperature of the steam room is about 120 degrees, which makes it possible to get a Finnish sauna. A remote tank is hung on the partition of the soap room, the capacity of which is 45 liters, and the material is stainless steel. The body of the heat exchanger is rigidly fixed on the side of the furnace. Water circulation between the remote tank and the heat exchanger occurs through a pipeline.

In practice, the layout of the 6x4 bath involves window blocks medium sizes. Internal door blocks are an array using wedge keys. This door design is considered the best, because it keeps the linear dimensions under the influence of high temperature indicators. A wooden bath belongs to the class of fire hazardous buildings, but the project requires compliance with fire safety standards.


According to statistics, chimneys are the source of fires in solid wood baths. Bath 6x4 layout, the photo of which is presented, involves the use of a coaxial pipe, which has a double design.

Baths 3x3

Before starting the construction of the bath, it is necessary to make a detailed layout of the future structure. Based on such ready plan, it is much easier to calculate the amount of necessary building materials and the final cost of such an object.


The classic layout of the 3x3 bath is a square building, which is divided into three compartments. Inside such a bath there is a dressing room in the form of a dressing room, a washing department with a steam room and a place to relax. The available space between the two provided walls of the chimney is filled with expanded clay, which is a good heat insulator. The pipe of this bath 3x3 is displayed on the roof. The roof can be made from various materials, but the most popular option is ondulin.

The frame of the bath is sheathed with edged boards, which allows you to get a spacious summer lounge in which you can equip a dressing room. In order to make it warmer in such a room in winter, the metal stove is turned with its front part in its direction. In general, it turns out a rest room and a dressing room, as well as a washing room and a steam room. The presented layout of the bath with dimensions of 3x3 meters has an arrangement of rooms that can be changed at the discretion of customers. Meanwhile, it is not recommended to change the location of the furnace, since its incorrect installation can lead to high fuel consumption and an increase in the heating time itself.

Bath project 5x4

In practice, the layout of the 5x4 bath is the most the best option such a building. Firstly, such a bathhouse can become the first capital structure on a newly acquired summer cottage, and will completely replace a temporary home. Secondly, a well-thought-out layout can allow not only to wash and steam, but also to relax in a fairly spacious room.


However, it should be noted that the layout of the 5x4 bath photo, which is presented, will require considerable financial costs and construction time. In practice, it is possible to significantly reduce the time for the construction of such a structure by using dry lumber. Thoroughly dried wood can shrink the log house by less than 1%. In practice, this means that windows and doors, as well as a stove and other necessary equipment, are immediately installed on the erected walls.

The desire to have your own bathhouse on the site is visited by many: it provides a unique opportunity to improve your health, relax and unwind after a hard day. And if the bathhouse is near the house or cottage, and you don’t need to go anywhere, this way of relaxing is generally priceless. But at the same time, there are a lot of questions: where to put it, how to deploy it, how many and what kind of premises should be, what size and what foundation to make, and a thousand more. For now, let's talk about the layout of the bath on the site and inside.

You need to start by choosing a place for the construction of a bath. In this case, you need to rely on the data of the geological survey of the site: choose the best soils and the lowest location of groundwater. Then the foundation can be made inexpensive, and the bath will stand well. Without such a survey of the site, you have to choose "maybe".

In this case, it is desirable to immediately exclude places where groundwater comes close. They can be seen at sunset. In the evening, inspect the site. If there are places where a small midge curls in a column in one place, water is close at the bottom. It’s good here, but you can’t put a house or a bathhouse.

Excluding all wet places, you can try to fit the planned building on dry areas. There are also some limitations here:

  • the distance to the well should not be less than 5 meters;
  • the distance to the nearest residential building is at least 8 meters;
  • toilet and compost pit should be as far away as possible.

If your site overlooks the banks of a river or lake, it makes sense to put a bathhouse nearby: you can take a dip and not fool around with the construction of a pool. It will also be possible to organize the supply of water from the reservoir, but with the diversion, in this case it will be necessary to fool your head - so that the drains do not get there. So the optimal location of the bath on the site is an individual matter.


Bath layout inside

The most common layout of the baths: the entrance to the south, the windows of the rest room - to the west. The entrance is in the south because the snow melts here first of all, and there are usually fewer snowdrifts. And the windows are made in the western wall, because they are most often steamed in the afternoon and the setting sun illuminates the room.

But this is only the most common layout and nothing more. You can arrange both the entrance and the windows as you see fit: maybe you have an amazingly beautiful landscape in the east, and all that is visible to the west is the wall of the neighbor's barn. No one will stop you from doing what you want.

What rooms are needed in the bath

Around how to properly bathe in the bath, there are constant battles. They also apply to the number and volume of premises. There are several approaches to this issue. Choose the one that is closer to you.

Tambour

In this layout of the bath there is a small vestibule. It will not allow cold air to break into the room.

The first postulate is that with all-season use of the bath (and in winter too), there should be a vestibule at the entrance to the bath. Otherwise, the rest room will quickly dry out: with each opening of the door, a portion of cold air will burst into it. There are no disputes here. There are only a few options for organizing a vestibule: it is enclosed inside or attached outside.

If you bathe only in the warm season, there is no need for a vestibule. In the summer, they often relax after a steam room in the air: or on the porch.

Washing and steam room: separately or together?

But on the composition of the premises that are needed in the bath, there is a dispute. Most are of the opinion that the steam room and sink should be separate. But since the size of the baths is usually small, these two rooms are small. For dry-air saunas, this is good: small volumes warm up quickly. And in this case, a sink separated from the steam room is a necessity: it should be dry in the sauna. No more than 10% humidity. A large amount of steam at a temperature of 100 ° C and above will burn the nasopharynx and bronchi. Therefore, if the bath is dry-air, then the sink must be separate.


Some supporters of moderate temperatures and high humidity - a regime that is typical for the Russian bath - believe that the washing and steam rooms can and should be combined. There are several reasons for this:

  • The first is that in a small steam room, when water is applied to the stones, the temperature and humidity conditions change dramatically. There's nothing you can do about it: a small volume, and the steam literally hits everyone who is in it. If it is possible to make the steam room larger, the question is not so acute.
  • The second reason is physiological. In the steam room, the pores open. If the washroom is much cooler during the time they have been in it, they close again. The next time you enter the steam room, you have to steam them again. If the “washing room” is a trestle bed located in the opposite corner from the shelves, then no “cooling” occurs.

In principle, the second problem is solvable: it is also necessary to maintain a rather high temperature in the washing room of 35-40 ° C, and there will be enough humidity there. You will get an almost “hammam” atmosphere in it. Under such conditions, you can rest. To do this, trestle beds are made in the washing department, on which they rest in a warm, humid atmosphere after the steam room. Then the washing area should be large. And they go to the rest room only when they are no longer going to go into the steam room.


The second approach to soaring is different: after the body has warmed up, it needs to be cooled down. Contrasting procedures are used for this - a cool or cold shower, dousing, rubbing with snow, etc. That's when a separate washing with a cool atmosphere is needed. And here they put it with cold or cool water. With this approach, they stay in the steam room for quite a long time - for 10-15 minutes, because again you need to warm up.

Ideally, you need to visit both types of baths to decide which suits you best. In which of them you will be better, that one is worth building.

Now, let's sum up. The bath can have two or three rooms. There may be a rest room, and separate rooms for a steam room and a washing room. In another option, there is a rest room, and the steam room and washing room are combined in one room.

locker room

This room can be classified as optional, but it is desirable. It is much more convenient if all things are collected in one place. But even here questions and disagreements arise: where should the doors go. There are usually two options: in the rest room and in the washing room. Both options are not ideal.

If the entrance to the locker room is made from the rest room, then undressing, you will have to walk through this room. If there is no one else in the bath, this is one thing, but if a campaign has gathered, and someone is already resting, this is a completely different calico.

From this point of view, the second option is preferable: you immediately get from the locker room to the sink, and from there to the steam room. But then the damp air from the sink will inevitably be in the locker room. Damp air = wet clothes. That's still a pleasure. So you usually have to choose: to walk in a negligee through the rest room or put on wet clothes after the bath.

But more often, they still make the entrance to the locker room from the washing room, and solve the problem of humidity with good ventilation: they make two channels, one at the bottom - for fresh air, and the second at the top - for the removal of damp. An exhaust fan is usually built into the top one (for wet rooms). This is how, in pairs, natural and forced ventilation cope with high humidity.

The dimensions of the rooms in the bath

In addition to the composition of the premises, it is necessary to determine the size. Since most often they still do three rooms - the sink and the steam room are separate, then we will describe approaches to choosing sizes for all three rooms.

The layout of the steam room

The main thing when planning a bath is to decide on optimal dimensions steam rooms. It is clear that you want to save on construction and firewood for heating. But too small a room is completely uncomfortable: the bath overheats quickly and you feel like in a cage.

It is most reasonable to proceed from how many people should fit in the steam room at one time. Moreover, the dimensions also depend on the type of steam room. In the dry air, no one really moves. Everyone sits decorously on the shelves: at such a temperature you can’t move. Therefore, one meter is enough to “sit” for one person. To lie down, already 2.2. So. Determine how many people can sit with you, and how many can lie down. Then you count the area of ​​the shelves, add space for the stove and a little for the passage to the shelves. You get the minimum dimensions of a steam room for a sauna.


In the Russian bath, they mostly lie on the shelves. And yet, the attendant waves brooms. Therefore, the dimensions here should be larger.

For a wet Russian steam room, the width and length are chosen so that two or three can comfortably lie down - depending on how many people will steam at the same time. We calculate the area of ​​​​the required shelves (for one 80-100 cm wide, from 2.2 to 2.5 m long), add the area for placing the stove, the screen around it, approaches and gaps, and we get the minimum volume of the steam room for a Russian bath. If the dimensions do not allow, they leave one “lying” place, be sure to place where the attendant stands, and, if possible, at least a small shelf for “sit”.

In general, it is more rational to use the area in the steam room if it is not square, but rectangular shape. Moreover, the oven is usually located on the long side. And also keep in mind that from the stove, even closed (for Russian baths, it must be closed with a screen), there should be a distance of about 20-30 cm from the shelves, but more is better.


About choosing the height of ceilings and doors, read the article « ». Briefly, we can say the following: for a conditioned steam room (steam is mixed evenly throughout the volume) finishing ceiling not lower than 2.10 m, and for a pirogue (steam is collected under the ceiling) not lower than 2.4 m.

Let's say right away about the height of the shelves - this is another stumbling block when designing a steam room. In general, each parameter is selected individually. If you customize the steam room “for yourself”, then the height of the shelf should be up to the knuckles of the lowered hand. Stand on the floor (on a grate or stool, if any), lower your hand down. Where your knuckles are, that's where the shelf surface should be.

If several tiers of shelves are planned, then the top one should not be closer to the ceiling than 115 cm. And one more thing: the second one is 45 cm higher than the first one: then it will be possible not only to lie on the upper shelf, but also to sit (if you want "hotter" ).


You need to draw everything in size and all this should fit into the steam room in a “clean” form, taking into account the walls and the insulation pie

But not everyone who will bathe is the same height. That's why they make side steps. You can have several pieces of different heights for people of different heights: they rely on such a step when it is necessary to climb the shelves. The bath attendant uses the same steps: people have different waist circumferences, and sometimes even in a steam room fitted “for themselves”, you have to stand on a step to make it more comfortable.

One little advice: make steps wide. Firstly, if necessary, it will be possible to sit on them, and secondly, wide and low ones are more stable.

Washing room dimensions

Here again, there are two approaches: either try to get by with a minimum - this is if the dimensions of the bath are limited, or plan it in a way that is convenient and put the resulting dimensions into the project. If we talk about the minimum, then you can get by with a small shower, over which you can still attach a shower device. In this case, a size of 1.5 * 1.5 meters will suffice. Cramped, but not too tight.


For comfort and for the case if you will relax in the steam room, you need to place trestle beds here. Then, probably, you need to fence off a separate shower stall - this is 1.2 * 1.2 m (or more, if you want). And enter one or two trestle beds (depending on the number of steamers in one run). Trestle beds in size can be similar to the shelves in the steam room, or slightly different. Here the dimensions are not critical. The main thing is to be comfortable.

Some are in the washroom. Here you can’t get by with small dimensions, and the sizes of the font can be different - from one and a half meters in diameter and more.

Rest room dimensions

And again, two layout options, even in baths of the same size. Some try to fence off as much area as possible for the rest room, leaving a minimum for the steam room and washing room. This option is suitable if the bath is something like a club. Then the main action is just gatherings in the rest room. And the room stands out, respectively, spacious.

But there are people who enjoy the processes taking place in the steam room. And then the situation changes dramatically: the necessary minimum is allocated for the rest room: a hanger, a table, several benches / armchairs / chairs. All. But all other areas are allocated for a steam room.


Pay attention to the location of the doors - the aisles eat up a lot of space

Having decided on the size of all rooms and their location, do not be too lazy to draw everything to scale. This can be done on a computer using programs or in the old fashioned way on paper in a box. Just draw large, and with the preservation of proportions, taking into account the thickness of the walls and piers, insulation and finishes. Then calculate the real areas that remained in a "pure" form. Absolutely: you are in for a surprise. And unpleasant. A lot of space is taken away by all the piers and walls. And in the remaining space it will be necessary to “enter” all the items. Especially a lot of difficulties arise with the steam room. So be especially careful here. Most likely, the ready-made bath plan will have to be redrawn, and more than once.


Pay attention to the location of the doors. It is desirable that they are located as close as possible. Especially in passage rooms. It's all about the same utility: it's impossible to use all the passages. So they eat up a decent amount of space.

In terms of security

It is also necessary to consider the layout of the premises in the bath from the point of view of safety. Therefore, it is desirable to make the path from the steam room to the street as simple and short as possible, without labyrinths. This is necessary in case someone becomes ill. The sooner a person can get out into the fresh air, the better. Therefore, some projects provide for two doors in the steam room: one of the washing rooms is for regular use, the second is to the vestibule - for emergency situations.

In order to be able to evacuate as quickly as possible in the washing room, there should be a window of decent size - no less than 50 * 50 cm. And it should open inward (again, safety precautions). And it is better not to save on dimensions: small dimensions will not provide the amount of fresh air required for ventilation. And it's hard to get out through the small window.


The windows in the steam room should be - one on the wall opposite the entrance, the other - under the shelves

Many, by the way, do not make windows either in the washing room or in the steam room, and they are very mistaken. Now let's briefly explain why.

These windows are needed not for lighting, but for ventilation. The steam room needs two windows - one in the wall opposite the door, 40 * 40 cm in size or so. Its upper edge should be level with the door lintel. The second window in the steam room is made under the shelf. It can be small - 20 * 20 cm.

All of them are needed for ventilation and drying of the premises after use. Then you will not have any problems with wood and fungus. They are also opened for temperature/humidity correction. Everyone is comfortable with their own conditions, and with the help of windows they are regulated. Read more about that, and in the article "We are talking about doors and their sizes.

The window in the washing room is also an emergency exit. This should not be forgotten either. Of course, we try not to break the rules, and we set the stoves correctly, but it's better to play it safe.

Many owners of private houses sooner or later catch themselves thinking about what is on the territory. This is a great idea, the bath itself, the steam room and the sink, the layout of which can be the most diverse, will give a lot of pleasant emotions and many hours of relaxation. Of course, the construction of such a structure on the territory should be carefully prepared. The bath has a special atmosphere and safety requirements, so you need to think through everything to the smallest detail.
The design and layout of the bath with a washing and steam room






It is very important to take into account many factors that will become decisive in the question of which steam room to be on. These questions are the following:

Interior design and design of the rest room in the bath




These are just some of the facts that must be taken into account in the process of preparing for the construction of a place where you can steam, swim and just have a good time with intimate conversations.

It should be understood what should be in the bathhouse. It:

  • steam room;
  • or shower;
  • Toilet;
  • dressing room;
  • A place to rest (usually located in the dressing room).

Layout with the size of the bath with a rest room
Everyone can adjust these spaces by adding something of their own. However, each of the rooms must be in the bath, you can only add an additional one.
In addition, a building should be erected taking into account safety requirements, namely, fire safety.

An example of the decoration and design of the washing room

What materials for construction can be chosen

Most often it can be found on the territories of private plots. However, depending on what will be or other sizes, the choice of materials may vary.

Most often, they rely on the following types of raw materials for construction:

Each of the presented materials is worthy, to serve as the basis for the construction of a bath. The main thing is to follow the rules and requirements for self-construction of a building.

What should be in the sink

The layout of a 3x5 bath or other parameters must necessarily have in its open spaces such premises as a sink and steam room, a bathroom, a locker room.
Of course, at will, each owner of the land allotment can independently make a decision on supplementing the space with minor premises. For example, billiards, a recreation room and much more that can only come to mind.
The washing must be present:

  • Pool or shower with cold water;
  • Washbasin.

These are the attributes that you cannot do without in the washing room. The main thing is to make the layout correctly so that all the details are located in the right places and are comfortable for use.

Sauna layout with sink and terrace

It is also worth taking care that in the washing room there are predominant coatings that are resistant to moisture and high temperatures. It can be a tile covered with special wood solutions.

An example of tiling a sink in a bath






As a rule, a shower room or a pool are placed in such a way that it is convenient to enter them after warming up in the steam room, that is, next to the steam room.

What should be in the steam room

If the open spaces of the bath are three by four meters, then you will not accelerate too much in the process of considering the layout of the room. In small baths minimum dimensions dressing room, a small sink and the steam room itself are also quite compact.

In the steam room for the comfortable use of this room, there must be niches where you can sit down. Often this design is made in the form of steps.

Drawing and layout of a compact steam room


This makes it possible to accommodate even in the smallest space on the territory, a lot of people. The layout of the steam room is usually standard. Usually in the far left or right corner are the heating sources. That is, firewood or stones, on which special mixtures are poured to achieve the desired temperature in the room. Heat sources are laid on a special heat-resistant surface, making it possible to observe safety precautions.

The layout and design of the steam room in a wooden bath




Niches are located under the wall, usually "V" shaped. In the middle of the steam room, as a rule, there is a wooden stand, which provides comfort when leaving the steam room.

The bath has always enjoyed special honor in our country. Bath procedures can heal the body and soul, give strength and energy. Baths measuring 4 x 5 meters are considered a medium-sized project. Competent planning is able to provide sufficient comfort to the owner and his family. The main advantages of medium-sized baths are that:

  • they have a fairly spacious steam room that can accommodate up to four people;
  • sink and shower are located in a separate room;
  • convenient location of the bathroom;
  • dressing room can be used as a rest room;
  • an area of ​​​​4 x 5 allows you to organize a small vestibule;
  • the dimensions of the bath do not require a large area, which allows you to build it on almost any land plot;
  • she has simple design and if desired, it can be built with your own hands;
  • such a bath can be located as a separate building or as an extension to existing structures.

However, the process of building a 4 x 5 bath must be approached wisely. It is necessary to choose high-quality building materials, correctly position the bath relative to the cardinal points, here the layout should be thought out in detail.

The main stages of the construction of a bath 4 x 5

A lot of advice on the construction of wooden structures has come down to us from our ancestors, which help to preserve the material for many years. The emergence of new building materials made additional adjustments and simplified the builder's life even more. Let's talk about the construction of the bath in more detail. If you paint the process step by step, then you can easily design and build a wooden bathhouse yourself:

  1. Choose the exact location for building. It is desirable that the window openings look west. So more light will enter the room, and in the evening soft rays of the sun will add comfort to bath gatherings.
  2. All projects of baths necessarily provide for the presence of a foundation. It must be at least half a meter high and 30 cm wide. There is an option to put the building on piles.
  3. Stepping back about 2 meters from the foundation, dig a drain hole (the end of the sewer pipe will be placed in it).
  4. The pipe itself is laid in a trench at an angle to the pit (to ensure a full drain).
  5. For a log house, it is better to use a log with a diameter of 180 mm. It is important to observe the alternation of thick and thin logs when laying. Closer to the foundation are logs of deciduous trees, and closer to the roof - coniferous. It is believed that the most "useful" cedar bath.
  6. To ensure the tightness of the structure, a rope made of jute or flax fiber is laid between the logs.
  7. The roof is covered with either tiles or slate.
  8. The layout of the bath has a number of features. The most popular was the division of the premises into a vestibule and four rooms. The front door should provide maximum heat retention inside the bath. To prevent drafts, many builders choose to install a vestibule with an area of ​​\u200b\u200babout 0.4 square meters. m. Behind him is a rest room of approximately 7.6-8.8 square meters. m. In order to enter the steam room, you need to cross the shower room (4.0 sq. m). In the shower partitions separate the bathroom. It is desirable that the steam room (4.0 sq. M) has 2 rows of shelves and a lower bench. Moreover, the upper shelf was located at a distance of 1 meter from the ceiling.
  9. The interior lining of the bath room should be made of coniferous trees.
  10. The ceiling height must be at least 2.3 m.
  11. It is also necessary to provide thermal and waterproofing.
  12. It is necessary to organize a ventilation system for the room, which can be made in the form of an outlet.

The fundamental parameter when choosing a 4 x 5 bath project will be the size of the area free for construction. It is necessary that the bath is in harmony with the existing buildings as much as possible. The relaxation zone should be planned in such a way that the sofa is in the farthest corner from the door. Typically, stone stoves and additional gas or steam heating are used for heating.

The layout of the bath 4x5 meters, where the sink and steam room are separate: photo review


The bath has always enjoyed special honor in our country. Bath procedures can heal the body and soul, give strength and energy. Baths measuring 4 x 5 meters

The layout of the bath 3x5 with a separate sink and steam room

Most homeowners tend to have a bath near the house. This is not surprising: after all, the usefulness and beneficial effects on the body of bath procedures are known to everyone. One of the most popular bath projects is the construction of 3x5 meters with a steam room and a sink provided separately.

The size and layout of such a bath allow you to wash yourself comfortably, and take a steam bath no less comfortably. In the article we will consider characteristics bath layouts 3x5 meters with separate sink and steam room.

Bath pros

AT recent times The popularity of the bath is only increasing. And no wonder: after all, the usefulness of bath procedures has already been scientifically proven. Let's consider what advantages a visit to this relaxation and hygienic establishment gives us.

Bath - ideal remedy prevention and treatment colds. Many have experienced this beneficial effect, when, with the onset of a cold, a visit to the bath quickly raised you to your feet.

The bath has many more wonderful advantages: you will feel them fully on yourself as soon as you build this most necessary outbuilding on your own site. And here is how the project of a house bath from rounded logs looks like, and how to build it. this information will help you understand.

advance planning

First of all, determine exactly where the building will be located. It is important that the bathhouse is not located near a noisy, dusty road, or in close proximity to cesspool. And keep in mind that the closer the building is located to the house, the easier it will be to bring communications to it. But the distance from the house to the bath, according to construction requirements, should not be less than 8 meters.

Decide on the parameters of the bath itself. Size 3x5, by the way, is practically universal, and fits in most cases. Determine whether a rest room will be needed in the bath. Or, perhaps it is more convenient for you to get by with a small dressing room, and with the help of the saved space, expand the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe washroom or steam room.

Decide on the type of foundation. This largely depends on the type of material from which the bath will be built: a massive foundation is not required for a wooden structure, but yes for a brick one. Accurately calculate the amount of building materials needed, and purchase them with a small margin.

Layout features

The size of the bath is three meters by five - very popular and in demand. Such a bath turns out to be quite compact, however, it is quite possible to place all the necessary bath rooms on its area, and comfortably accommodate.

When planning a bath with separate washing and steam rooms with a total size of 3x5 meters, it is necessary to divide the entire space into three parts.

For the rest room, a space of 1.5x3 meters is intended. This is quite enough so that you can undress / dress quite comfortably, and even relax after bath procedures.

The remaining space is divided into a steam room measuring 3.4x1.5 meters and a sink measuring 3.4x1.4 meters. As you can see, the parameters of these rooms are almost the same, and quite decent. The rest of the insignificant space will be “eaten up” by internal partition walls. But what a bathhouse with a pool under the roof looks like can be seen in the photo in this article.

Terrace project

If you want to equip the sauna with a small terrace where you can drink tea in the summer, pay attention to the following layout. The terrace in this case serves as a rest room. The internal areas are slightly reduced, so the steam room with the washing room is getting closer, but only slightly.

So, the steam room in this case has dimensions of 2x3 meters, washing - 2.8x3 meters. You can also swap these rooms if, for example, you want, on the contrary, a more spacious sink.

The terrace, which is also a rest room, is provided according to the project with dimensions of 5x1.9 meters. In such a territory it is possible to fence off a small nook for changing clothes. And the rest of the space can be successfully used for organizing a comfortable relaxation room.

These are the main types of 3x5 bath layouts with separate steam and washing rooms. Based on the proposed options, you yourself can create your own project that best meets your individual needs. And from this article you can learn about the project of a bath from chopped logs.

Detailed project

Let's give an example of the stages of a detailed layout of a 3x5 bath with separate washing and steam rooms.

Decide on a building site, and conduct a small geological study of it. This is necessary in order to know the depth of groundwater and the nature of the soil. For example, if ground water lie close, which means that the soil is swampy: it is undesirable to build a bathhouse in this place. Keep in mind that swampiness may not be visible on the surface, but geological analysis will determine this for sure.

Choose a foundation: stone tape or pile. Please note that the base of the bath should rise above the ground by about 50-70 cm. Most often, the base is finished with cement: this is both reliable and inexpensive. Get high-quality cement so that the bath is strong and reliable.

It is recommended, by the way, to install a stove or boiler for heating water and heating at the end farthest from the front door. Be sure to provide a place for a dressing room with a hanger, even if you do not plan to build a separate rest room. Also, in addition to the rest room, there can be a bathhouse with an attic and a terrace.

In the washing room, there must be a place for benches: their presence will provide a more comfortable washing process. In addition, there must be a special space for placing tanks: separately for cold and hot water. A canopy in a steam room or shelves on which it will be possible to comfortably accommodate during the procedure are also necessary.

Provide a window in the washing room. It will make the space of a small room brighter and more comfortable, it can be used to ventilate the washing room. In addition, fire safety rules provide for the mandatory presence of such a window.

The size of the window should be at least 0.5mx0.5 so that an adult can climb into it if necessary. It should open inward: in case the outside space near the window fills up with branches or other objects.

That's all the necessary nuances that it is desirable to take into account when planning a 3x5 bath with separate washing and steam rooms. Of course, each owner makes his own adjustments to the initial projects, based on individual needs and requirements.

The common advantage of baths of this size is their low cost, compactness and quick warm-up. As a result, significant savings can be made on building materials, and then save constantly, without spending too many expensive resources on heating a small bath.

It is best to finish the bath from the inside with a tree. Even if the outside of the building is brick, it is recommended to make the interior, including walls, floors and ceilings, wooden. This material will make the bath a truly healing place of relaxation and rest, fill it with a pleasant smell of wood.

The following timber products are most suitable for finishing a bath:

If you want to feel a resinous tart woody aroma during the passage of bath procedures, choose conifers, which are also the most useful ones.

We will find out what nuances there are in the construction of a 3x5 meter bath with separate steam room and sink.

Before you start building a bath, you need an accurate design of the structure: with all the drawings and important points provided for in the form of laying communications, etc. Such a project can either be drawn up on your own, or bought from a special building design company, or found on the Internet.

Please note that the minimum bath area is 10 sq. m. In a smaller space it will be very difficult to place all the necessary devices and furniture, and it will be crowded when washing.

The bath should have its own communications: water supply, sewerage, electricity supply, ventilation. Be sure to consider convenient exits from the steam room and sink to the rest room.

Pay attention to the choice of the stove. We recommend choosing from two options: either an electric stove or a stone stove. In the first case, heating will occur quickly, there will be no soot and soot, but it will noticeably wind up electricity. A stone stove is more healing, but there is more fuss with it: it is necessary to heat, clean, store fuel. But what kind of brick stoves in the bath exist, and how to choose the right one, is described in great detail in this article.

We examined the features of one of the most popular bath layouts: 3x5 meters with separate steam room and sink. As you can see, even such a small space can be well planned and placed on it with all the necessary premises. So don't let the little one scare you. total area baths: our tips will help you create a completely comfortable space.

Bath layout options

To have your own land and not build a bathhouse is bad manners. Even on small garden plots, where, due to greenhouses and beds, there was nowhere to place a full-fledged house, our man always found a place for a Russian bath. What can we say about full-size land plots IZHS category.

Mandatory rooms in the Russian bath

It is better to divide even the smallest bath into rooms with internal partitions than to leave one large room.

An example of the layout of a small bath with a size of 6 × 2.3

A rest room and other rooms in a very small bath, as a rule, are not made, preferring to take them outside the building.

This allows not only to save and optimize the interior space, but also to organize a recreation area more comfortably and thoughtfully using alternative options.

Dressing room in a Russian bath

Necessarily necessary, as in any capital structure. This is a small, most often unheated, although there are exceptions, premises. Its main task is to exclude direct entry of cold air into the interior of the bath - washing and steam rooms.

Some 6x6 bath projects offer to combine a vestibule with a rest room. In this case Entrance door from the street leads directly into the baths.

Layout of a small bath 6 × 4

Where the size of the plot allows, the vestibule can be combined with a terrace or veranda. In this case, in the warm season, the rest room is equipped on the street, in the fresh air, and the interior is used for its intended purpose - for a steam room and a sink.

Washing room in a Russian bath

The Russian bath traditionally separated the steam room from the room where the water splashed. Firstly, it is much more difficult to warm up and make a large room vapor-tight with high quality than a space of a couple of square meters. Secondly, at high humidity it is very difficult to tolerate high air temperature. Although the baths, where the sink and the steam room are 2 in 1, are not at all uncommon.

Even small buildings with dimensions of 3 * 4 allow you to divide the interior space into a steam room and a washing room. Depending on the needs of the owners, the size of each room will also depend.

If a Russian bath is built for frequent meetings with friends exclusively in a male company, then half a square meter will be enough for a washing room - a shower in one of the corners of the bath. And the rest of the room can be occupied by a steam room or a steam room with a rest room.

Bath layout 4×5 with toilet and shower

It is quite possible that it will be the predominant room in the bathhouse, and the steam room will be a purely symbolic room designed for 1-2 people. Such a layout of the bath can do without a rest room at all, since you can drink tea and chat after the steam room directly in the house.

Russian steam room

The heart and the very essence of the Russian bath is the steam room. Such a room is arranged at the maximum distance from the front door. It has no window openings and is small in size. If the dimensions of the building can be arbitrary, then the drawings of the steam room comply with the standards, which are calculated based on:

At the same time, the height of the ceilings has a very small spread: from 2.1 meters to 2.4. But the length and width of the room, even for two people, can vary significantly: from 840 * 1150 mm to 1900 * 2350 mm. And these are only very modest, small-sized projects. The larger the room of the bath itself, the more space and opportunities appear when designing a steam room.

In the event that the steam room will be used by 1-2 people, then this room can be made very compact, providing only seats for steamers.

Additional rooms in the bath

The bath today has ceased to be only a room for taking water procedures. Today it is a place of rest, meeting with friends, a guest house or a country house-bath. Depending on the purpose and size of the building, the number of additional rooms can be completely different.

Bath with relaxation room

If the rest room during the construction of the bath is provided as a separate room, then it performs an independent function, without duplicating the duties of a dressing room, dressing room or washing room.

An example of a 5 × 5 bath layout with a relaxation room

Some bath projects involve placing a small kitchen area and a billiard table in the rest room. And the installation of a special sauna stove with a fireplace module allows you to make this room more comfortable and homely.

Bath with a pool

A classic Russian bath does not provide for such luxury, but today a pool in a bath is not such a rarity. Some projects boast a full-fledged swimming pool, gym and winter garden. But the placement of a small pool-font under the same roof with a steam room is quite an ordinary phenomenon.

A one-story bath with dimensions of 8 * 10 calmly accommodates a spacious relaxation room, a separate steam room, a washing room and a room with a pool. At the same time, the entrance to the water block is through the rest room. A walk-through room, where three doors lead at once, is a washing room. The only way to access the pool from the steam room is through the shower room.

A full pool can be replaced with a font. In this case, there is no need to allocate a closed room for these needs. It is enough to make the washing room a little more spacious and install a font. This option is acceptable even for small baths.

Bedroom in a one-story bath

This layout option is very convenient if you often have guests. Then the bathhouse can be used not only as a place to relax, but also as a separate house to accommodate friends. The bedroom in the bath is an independent room and does not function as a common rest room. It may not have a separate entrance, but it must be isolated from the main bath block: washing room and steam room.

Most often similar projects offer symmetrical or asymmetrical placement of the guest room.

In the first case, the internal layout of the 3x5 bath is divided into two equal parts, the front door is located clearly in the center. And on one side of the entrance there is a guest room, on the other - the whole complex of bath rooms. The guest room has a common wall either with a rest room or with a steam room and washing room.

Two-story bath

A two-storey bathhouse is built only if it is used as a living space by the owners themselves or as a guest house. Less commonly, a two-story bath is built exclusively for relaxation.

A full-fledged second floor, in order to save money, is often replaced by an attic. This type of building fully meets all the requirements that are placed on the second floor.

Most of the attic bath projects provide for the placement of bedrooms or guest rooms there. AT small buildings it can be one common room, in larger ones on the second floor there will be room for two bedrooms. Depending on the option chosen, the floor is equipped with a small hall, where the stairs lead, or it may be absent if there is only one bedroom upstairs.

The space of the first floor is divided by a spacious steam room, washing room, possibly a pool and a relaxation room. The recreation room on the ground floor is a place with a table, benches or sun loungers, as well as a small kitchen area with a kettle, microwave and refrigerator. All this makes for a comfortable rest after the steam room and gatherings with friends.

Bathhouse with outbuildings

Another interesting option bath planning is the construction of the main bath block, which contains a steam room, a washing room and possibly a rest room. And all other premises - guest rooms, bedrooms, recreation areas, a pool and a font - are being completed nearby, as needed.

The advantage of such a prefabricated structure is that you can add the necessary premises as they are needed and the opportunity arises. In addition, separate construction will save on the materials used, construction technologies.

In rooms where there is no high humidity, you can save on steam and waterproofing by making it from more simple materials and simplified technology. And heating, if the extensions are used in the winter, can be provided from the main furnace, laying the possibility of connection in the initial project.

Modern infrastructure and the benefits of civilization will never replace a real Russian bath. A bathroom, a shower room, a sauna in a cottage - all this pales in comparison with a real steam room filled with dry heat from birch logs and the resinous aroma of fir brooms.

If earlier construction own house started with the construction of a bath, today it is left in the end. When all the work on the construction of the main housing is completed and the necessary minimum is completed, then you can relax and creatively approach the realization of your ideas and desires: the construction of a dream bath.

The project and layout of the bath with a terrace of 50 sq. m

This project is small, but at the same time a cozy bath. Such a building can be considered part of the estate or used as individual element as an independent home, necessary for relaxation.

The entrance is preceded by a terrace measuring 9.8 sq. m. Then comes the vestibule 2.3 square meters. m.

Bath layout 50 sq.m.

From the rest room, the passage leads to the washing room (7.8 sq. M.), And then to the steam room (7.8 sq. M.). All rooms are arranged in such a way that only a minimal amount of heat leaves the last room.

Much attention is paid to the heating and lighting system. Windows are located in the billiard room, rest room and the smallest in the dressing room. Consequently, even in the daytime there will be a lack of lighting. Such a problem will be solved by using lighting at the bottom of the ceiling.

Layout features

To receive you need to comfortable conditions To relax in the bath, you will need to take into account certain features.

  1. In no case should there be drafts in the bath. In this project, such a problem is solved with the construction of a vestibule. For greater efficiency, it is worth placing the doors perpendicular to each other.
  2. The door to the bath must be low and narrow. This will help keep the heat in the steam room, even during severe frosts in winter.
  3. The size of the allowable windows in the bath can be 40x60 or 70x80.
  4. In the washing room, it is worth taking care of the window above the level of the head of a standing person.
  5. If, in addition to the stove, it is not planned to use heating in the bath, then it should be installed in such a way that it can heat several rooms at once.
  6. It is best to place the bath on a slight elevation so that dirty water leaves the building by gravity.
  7. All materials that will be intended for construction must first be dried in the sun so that the degree of humidity is not lower than 8%.
  8. The clarity and quality of the ventilation system is essential.

The main characteristics of a wooden bath:

  • Design: the bath is made from round logs;
  • Foundation material: monolithic reinforced concrete;
  • Material for external walls: logs;
  • Floor material: wooden beams;
  • Roof material: wood;
  • Roof material: metal tiles.

Fire safety requirements for a bath

  1. The space that is located below the floor level must be covered with a screen made of metal or brick. This is necessary in case a hot coal or a spark of flame gets there.
  2. Under metal oven, the floor must be insulated with several rows of bricks. It must be laid on asbestos cardboard or double felt, which must first be impregnated with a clay mixture.

Even our ancestors believed that the bath is a source of health and years. And even in modern world a person still does not refuse a bath. It is for this reason that the bath plan remains one of the most sought-after projects, along with simple residential buildings. A well-built bath can completely change the whole appearance site.

Bath layout: a draft plan for washing and a steam room separately with your own hands

According to statistics, more than 30% of Russian citizens have summer cottages, the majority of residents spend their holidays there, only 14% of citizens spend their summer holidays in resorts. How to equip a steam room, you will learn in this article. We read and build.

Country rest

Today, the dacha is perceived not as in Soviet times, on six acres with minimal amenities, summer residents grew a large number of vegetables, made preparations for the whole winter and considered the cottage a nurse. Now many people go to the dacha to spend time outdoors, they dream of acquiring their own bathhouse on the site. This is a great opportunity to improve your health and fully relax after a working week. And if you don’t need to go anywhere at all, the bathhouse is next to own house, it is doubly wonderful.

Sauna planning

Having decided to put bath with my own hands , the owner asks a lot of questions, in what place to put it, what size to build, how many rooms to make and many more. Consider the layout of the 3x5 bath, these are the best dimensions for building in a small area.

As a rule, suburban areas have 6-8 acres, so it is beneficial to build compact buildings. It is desirable to place three rooms in the bath: a relaxation room, a steam room, a sink. First you need to develop a project for the future cottage.

Design

Choose a place for a bath, it should be free and located about 8 meters from the house, according to fire safety regulations. Five meters from the well, away from the toilet and compost pit. If there is not enough space on the site, then the bath, at your own peril and risk, is attached to existing buildings. In this case, consider good insulation and take care of reliable electrical wiring.

The project itself can be ordered in construction company, it will be developed according to all your requirements:

  • number of rooms;
  • dimensions of the sink, steam room;
  • features of the arrangement;
  • the presence of a veranda, a second floor, and so on.

The cost of the project is not small, it is significant will affect the price of the entire construction, as a result, the bath will cost a pretty penny, and will no longer be so pleasing. The Internet resource is full of construction topics, where photos of typical bath projects are provided in abundance. Thought and changed a little standard project, independently distributing the sink and the steam room separately, you will receive a drawing that will satisfy your requirements.

Having decided to act in similar ways, to save money on the project by doing it yourself, you should provide for the following:

Even the smallest bath is better divided by internal partitions for several rooms than to leave one room. The height of the steam room is recommended to be limited to two meters ten centimeters, the washing room can be made 10 cm higher.

If a family of four, five people or often gather as a company, then the layout of the 4 by 5 bath project is more profitable and practical than a small 3 by 5 bath. A competent project is the key to successful construction and further operation of the bath.

Greater comfort in a small bath will bring an adjusted interior space, it is worth increasing the steam room, this will allow family members to comfortably accommodate. You should not save useful meters in the locker room or rest room, but the sink can be made smaller, then you can bathe with the whole company, and wash one at a time.




Entrance to the bath most often projected from the south, in winter there is less snow, it is easier to clean, and the windows should preferably face west. Usually they go to the bathhouse after lunch or in the late afternoon, the light of the setting sun will illuminate the room, such a well-thought-out layout will help save on electricity.

If you want to make a bath with a terrace, then such a project does not provide for a washing room, and a terrace serves as a resting place. The option is optimal for summer residents who use the bath only during the summer season.

dressing room

it unheated room, necessary in the bath to prevent cold air from getting in. The projects of even the most modest baths provide for a small nook with two doors facing the street and the steam room. Often the dressing room is equipped with benches, clothes hangers. If a visit to the bathhouse in the winter is not included in the plans, then the need for a vestibule is no longer necessary.

Washing and steam room

The question for many is what about washing and steam room, organize them together or separately. When the bath area is small, the individual rooms will be very small. For saunas, where dry steam is good, because a small room warms up quickly, besides, there should be as little humidity as possible in the steam room, so washing is done separately from the steam room.

For lovers take a steam bath in a Russian bath with a broom, where moderate temperature and high humidity, washing and steam room can be combined. On the other hand, in the steam room the body is very hot and you want to cool it down. For this, it will be very useful to have a separate washing room, where there is cold and hot shower, or a font with cool water.

Before you start building your own bath, it is advisable to visit several types of steam rooms to find out what you like best and finally make sure that you choose the right one.

Arrangement of the steam room and washing inside

If, according to the project, the bath is on two floors, then the steam room should be located on the first floor; windows in the room are not provided. Convenient when from the steam room there is access to the washing room and a rest room. Doors for a steam room are better to choose from tempered glass if this is not possible, then wooden. But in any case, they should not have any metal elements, the metal is very hot and, touching the door, you can seriously burn yourself.

The height of the shelves is selected individually, but distance from ceiling to shelf should not exceed 110 centimeters. If there are several shelves according to the project, then one should be 45 cm higher than the other. The width of the shelves depends on the size of the steam room itself, the larger the area, the wider and more convenient the shelves. It is convenient to bathe in a lying position, so the optimal length of the shelves is 180 cm.

If two people will most often use the bath, then in compact room you can arrange for them only seating places. When the area of ​​​​the room allows, then the shelves can be arranged in a cascade, this will make the steam room more spacious.

The sink from the steam room should be separated by a partition and a door. The washing room is heated by the same oven, which is the pair. The area per person must be at least 1 square meter. If the dimensions of the washing room are available, then a shower built into the wall or a shower stall, a font is installed there, for greater comfort, you can put a toilet bowl.

rest room each furnish to your liking, with their own hands, as a rule, they have big table and comfortable benches. The construction of a bath is considered one of the simplest, however, the internal layout should be approached seriously and responsibly, then the wishes “with light bath” will sound sincerely.
