With its roots, the history of the bath goes into the distant past. It is known that they began to visit the steam room during the time of pagan Rus’, in the 5-6 centuries of our era. At that time, in the baths, I met to know commoners. Despite the such significant story of the Institute of Bathwall, its principles themselves over the long year have not changed at all.
Is it realistic to become the owner of his own steam room? Is it so difficult to build it? In fact, a bath of construction with your own hands does not imply the presence of special skills in the owners of summer cottages, it may well appear in the sections of hundreds of our compatriots. Particular attention should be paid to the arrangement of the steam room – the heart of any bath complex. In order for the reception of water procedures to bring the owner of the cottage a lot of positive emotions, when erecting a special purpose premises, a special approach exists to the finish and thermal insulation of the steam room.
So, its vertical and horizontal surfaces are recommended to be sheathed with lining made of natural wood. The option is considered optimal in which the construction of the bath is carried out by panels from alder, aspen, cedar or linden. Based on the same materials, they perform benches and sunbeds installed in the steam room.
Principal moment: it is important that metal objects do not appear on the surface of horizontal surfaces. Experts advise, in addition, to select the height of a bench in which the steamer’s legs would not be in the air. At the same time, normal blood circulation is disturbed – serious harm is done to human health.
Ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles are selected for flooring. So that water by gravity gets into the sewer hatch, its styling is carried out at an angle of 1-3 degrees. Removable track panels made of wood are installed on the ceramic floor.
In accordance with the adopted technology, the outer surfaces of the room are also made of wood. If a gallended beam is chosen for construction, after its shrinkage, the space between the individual elements carefully brown paclies from the moss or felt. Recently, more and more often the bet on the building material of the new generation – glued beam. As a result of shrinkage, the technological composite is not deformed over time – there is no need for additional thermal insulation of joints. It is using a timber obtained on the basis of glued technologies that the bulk of the bath complexes in summer cottages is built.
