Complex summer kitchen, bathhouse, hozblok projects. How to build a bathhouse from a barn with your own hands

Previously, in Russia, baths were heated in black, that is, stoves without a pipe were used to heat the room and heat the water. But you are hardly a connoisseur of the primordially Russian traditions, because the smoke sauna has a number of significant drawbacks: it is constant soot, smoke and carbon monoxide. Some people are looking for an alternative to electric heaters. But this is also not the best option for lovers of steam, because the electric heaters do not produce such saturated steam. Although, their installation does not imply the presence of an outlet pipe, and the implementation of a number of actions.

A woodburning stove is an excellent solution for connoisseurs of light steam, because they are unpretentious in operation and can operate on the most accessible type of fuel - wood. Yes, you will have to equip an exhaust chimney and build a stove, which can be either brick or iron. But if you decide to build a bathhouse, then the construction of the stove may be questionable, because in such cases an electric heater would still be more appropriate, although much depends on the project.

House-bath, as a win-win option

The decision to build a bathhouse is made in several cases:

1. With a limited area of ​​\ u200b \ u200bthe site.
2. With limited financial resources of the customer and his persistent unwillingness to "go into debt."
3. If the customer is "a little lazy" and wants "everything to be in one place."

The bathhouse is a unique building of its kind, since technical and leisure facilities can be placed on the ground floor (steam room, shower room, washroom, utility rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, living room, gym). The second floor can easily be set aside for living space. But before giving preference to a specific project (and there are a lot of them in our collection) and materials, it makes sense to decide on a place for the construction of the future "bath and residential" complex. It is worth noting that it is quite possible to adapt the attic for permanent residence, provided that your family is not too large.

The place for construction is chosen based on specific circumstances, and at the same time such factors as: the relief of the site, the presence / absence of outbuildings, fire safety and sanitary requirements, etc. a structure is the shore of some body of water - natural or artificial. If it is absent on your site, then we can build a good pool. If possible, you can build a bathhouse on a dais.

House-bath project

The layout of the premises can be different. Usually, on the ground floor there are:

1. Steam room. The dimensions depend on the number of potential visitors, the number of shelves and the size of the oven.
2. The dressing room. At its core, this is a rest room designed for changing clothes, storing firewood and bath accessories such as brooms, ladles, sheets, towels, etc. In the dressing room, you can install chairs, sofas, tables and other pieces of furniture that contribute to relaxation.
3. Washing or washing department. Cold and hot water is supplied here, which can be heated by a boiler or stove.
4. Utility rooms. Designed for storing inventory and other things, you can also install a washing machine in them, for which you need to take care of the availability of power supply, drainage and water supply systems.
5. Kitchen-living-dining room. It can serve as a continuation of the rest room.
6. Bathrooms. Ideally, they should be available on both the first and second floor.

The presence of other premises is determined by the size of the structure. For example, a continuation of the first floor can be a terrace or a veranda. But the second floor is residential, and there are bedrooms and a living room. It remains to add that the bathhouse is an atypical structure and in some ways even "extreme", therefore, its construction must be approached very responsibly. Having given preference to our company, you can be sure that everything will be done at the highest level.

What materials are the best to build a bathhouse from?

The simplest and cheapest option is the construction of a frame bath, because it can be used immediately after construction. But there is also a more expensive and technically difficult option, which involves the construction of a brick bath. It is noteworthy that such a structure will be safer in terms of fire, but it has a high thermal conductivity and heats up slowly. Also, the construction of a brick bath implies the construction of a more solid foundation. If for some reason such structures are not suitable for you, then we suggest considering the option of building a bath from traditional materials - timber and logs.

Log baths are the oldest and most common type. And the main task facing the builders is to choose the right diameter of the logs. If they are thin, then this will lead to increased heat loss, and if they are thick, then this will create inconvenience during installation. The best option is logs with a diameter of 24 cm. Bar-shaped baths are also common, due to the availability of the material. For these purposes, we use glued or profiled beams made from northern softwood. This is a very important aspect, because northern trees grow slowly, and therefore have a higher density than their southern counterparts. This circumstance seriously slows down the decay process, which is necessary, given the specifics of the object.

A home steam room is often used to organize a healthy vacation and enjoyable time with family and friends. Today, the most popular and economical option is a bathhouse in the basement of a country house.

Turning a basement into a functional and practical room for wellness is simple - just organize the construction process correctly.

Benefits of a basement bath

When deciding on the arrangement of a steam room, the owners of country houses ask themselves the question - why is a bathhouse in the basement of a private house more profitable than an independent building erected on a land plot?

The main difference lies in the cost of heating the room. For a free-standing bath, it is necessary to build its own foundation base, which requires additional heating, which ultimately increases the expenditure part of the cost of maintaining the structure.

A bath in the basement or basement has the following advantages:

• General heating of the premises is carried out due to a single floor slab between the house and the bathhouse.
• The entrance to the steam room is accessible from any room in the house.
• Reducing the cost of arranging and maintaining the bath.
• It becomes possible to additionally organize a rest room and a dressing room in the basement.
• Joint communications are being laid.
• Part of the land is saved, which can be used for other needs - setting up a garden, creating an artificial reservoir, building a gazebo.

Features of arranging a steam room in the basement

The construction of a bath is a technically complex and responsible process that requires proper preparation and adherence to construction technology. Bath and sauna in the basement or basement requires the use of only high-quality and durable materials.

To develop a project, you can use the services of private design bureaus, make it yourself, or see our examples below.

The working draft must contain all the basic data about the finished structure:

• bath dimensions;
• layout of functional rooms;
• the scheme of laying communications;
• calculation of building and finishing materials.

When arranging a bath in the basement, the following technical points should be taken into account:

• If, at the design stage of a residential building, information about the bathhouse was entered into the project documentation, then the existing construction scheme is certainly used to carry out the work.
• If the basement was used for household or household needs, the previously carried out communications will have to be replaced or re-planned.
• For the safe operation of the bath, the installation of a chimney and drainage equipment will be required.

Technology for the construction of a sauna (bath) in the basement

A bathhouse or sauna in the basement of a private house is a specific functional room, during the arrangement of which it is necessary to follow the sequence of work.

Basement insulation

Building a steam room with your own hands in the basement requires reliable insulation of surfaces. To avoid the destruction of the heat-insulating layer, when installing the insulation, it is necessary to observe technological air gaps of 10 to 15 cm. They contribute to the rapid removal of excess moisture and drying of surfaces.

How basement walls are insulated is shown in the photo.

Important! For decorative finishing of the walls of the bathhouse in the basement, natural wood of larch, alder or oak is used without additional processing with protective varnishes.

Arrangement of ventilation and lighting systems

A bath or sauna in the basement requires the mandatory installation of a forced ventilation system, which will reduce dampness and prevent the development of mold and mildew on the walls.

The best ventilation option for a steam room is a deflector connected to a duct-type fan. It is designed to perform the following functions:

• ensuring forced and natural air exchange;
• supply of fresh air in the required volume;
• supply of cooled air to heating equipment;
• removal of exhaust gases outside the premises.

For rooms with high humidity, the wiring is carried out in the floor. Electric cables are laid in special corrugated ducts, which will provide protection against moisture and mechanical damage.

It is not allowed to lay cables under wood sheathing on walls. Also, it is not recommended to install electrical appliances in the steam room - sockets and switches, they are taken out into rooms with optimal operating conditions.

For saunas and baths, special lighting equipment is used - lamps in waterproof shades installed opposite the stove.

Organization of the drainage system

To carry out wellness procedures, water is required, therefore, the drainage system in a bath or sauna must be thought out at the stage of drawing up a working project and implemented in accordance with all the rules.

According to experts, the best option is to install a pumping station, which will ensure reliable drainage of wastewater into the water intake. The station consists of a surface pump for supplying wastewater and for collecting water.

A more affordable option is the arrangement of a sewer drain for a bath. Its main purpose is to drain drains and prevent the appearance of an unpleasant smell of sewage in the room.

The arrangement of the drain for the bath is carried out in the following order:

1. A vertical shaft is dug to a depth below the level of soil freezing. The shaft width is no more than 55 cm.
2. One part of the shaft is brought to the washing room, the rest to the steam room.
3. The pipes are laid from the drain hole at a slight slope for free drainage of drains outside the basement.

Use of drainage equipment

A full-fledged bathhouse under the house also provides for the arrangement of an effective system of dehumidification of premises - a basement or a basement, especially if it is planned to build a pool or hot tub.

An air conditioner is used as a dehumidifier, which is a radiator with a built-in fan.

The dehumidifier is designed to solve the main tasks:

• elimination of excess steam with transformation into condensate on the radiator body;
• dry air conditioning;
• supply of dried and heated air to the room.

An alternative option is to install a monoblock window air conditioner to remove excess moisture from the room. Despite its simplicity and affordability, a window dryer has significant drawbacks - low efficiency and high noise levels during operation.

Bath stove installation

The main functional element of any bath is a stove installed under the chimney or next to it.

How to build a sauna stove for a steam room located in the basement? To equip a stationary furnace structure, it is necessary to erect a separate foundation base. The work is carried out according to the scheme:

• A pit is pulled out for a foundation, the size of which exceeds the dimensions of the furnace by 30 cm.When arranging the pit, a minimum distance to the wall is observed - 20 cm.
• At the bottom of the pit, crushed stone of a fine fraction is poured, rammed and poured with a concrete mixture.
• The installation of the furnace equipment is carried out so that the chimney goes out through a special hole in the wall, and the combustion compartment into the dressing room.

If the bathhouse is being set up together with a residential building, then it will not be difficult to organize a chimney system. For an already constructed building, the arrangement of the chimney requires a different approach.

In this case, the best option for a wood-burning stove is to install a ceramic chimney. This design allows the use of waste gases to safely heat all areas in the house.

The bathhouse in the basement of the house is an excellent solution for owners of country houses who want to get a comfortable area for relaxation and recovery of the body and at the same time rationally use every free square meter with benefit.

It is quite possible to equip a bathhouse in the basement of the house with your own hands. All important nuances - from the arrangement of the sewage system to the installation of the chimney - read in our article. The technology of building a bath in the basement in steps!

Content:

The basement bathhouse is a popular building for today's private house owners. Firstly, it is a great opportunity to relax and unwind from the comfort of your home. Secondly, a chance to save a useful part of the territory in a tight area. It is very quick and even easy to organize a bath in the basement of the house. But only if all actions correspond to the project, and the safety regulations are strictly and unquestioningly observed.

Features of organizing a bath in the basement

According to safety rules, the bathhouse should be located at a distance of at least 10 meters from the nearest building. Therefore, along with the cost of the arrangement, another problem arises - the coordination of the project in various instances. As a rule, such a process takes up a certain part of the resources, but still has resolution paths.

Given the specifics of building a bath in the basement of the house, several specific features can be distinguished:

1. If the bath was planned even at the stage of building the house, the owner or builders must certainly have a project on hand, according to which all subsequent work will be carried out.
2. If any residential or utility area has already been equipped in the basement room, all communications, including ventilation and electrics, will necessarily be subject to replacement or redevelopment.
3. The installation of a chimney for a bath in the basement always entails much more trouble than in a separate one- or two-story building.
4. It is extremely important to provide the bath room with reliable drainage devices. Especially if the pool equipment is planned.
5. It is recommended to route the electrical wiring as low as possible. Ideally, under the floor. Only special heat-resistant lamps are allowed as lighting devices.

Bath construction technology in the basement of the house

The bathhouse is a very specific room. Extreme microclimatic conditions force to comply with all the rules at all stages of the arrangement. Excess moisture should be regularly eroded and dried, and the high temperature regime prevents the use of budgetary and impractical materials and devices. All processes and actions should be weighed and deliberate.

Insulation of the basement floor for a bath

It is not recommended to use polystyrene as a heater for a bath. Such material does not tolerate too extreme conditions and, under the influence of high temperatures, begins to emit toxic fumes. The best solution would be to buy a special insulation material with a foil layer.

On a note! For wall cladding of the bathhouse in the basement, it is better to choose natural hardwood, not covered with any varnishes.

Bath ventilation in the basement

It is better to entrust ventilation communications and their planning to an experienced specialist with knowledge of the specifics of such premises. Otherwise, the risk remains to pay a large sum for a completely non-functional system.

The best option for a bath of this kind is a basement deflector. Such a device is capable of performing all important functions, despite its low cost:

• Natural and forced ventilation processes;
• Supply of the required amount of fresh air;
• Supply of fresh air directly to the fireplace and stove;
• Removal of any gases from the room.

Arrangement of a drain for a bath in the basement

A high-quality pumping station will facilitate the movement of water masses in the right direction. In fact, such an apparatus is: a special pump that raises the drains, and a large tank that holds the collected drains.

In some cases, you can do without sewerage by equipping a high-quality drain. It should be equipped in such a way that not only the water completely leaves, but the musty smell is not allowed to return to the bath.

For a full drain, you must:

1. Make a vertical concrete shaft to the depth of soil freezing;
2. Horizontal section - approx. 0.5 m;
3. Take a third of the mine to the washing room, two-thirds to the steam room;
4. If the pipe is installed at a noticeable slope, water can go out of the territory.

Drainage system in the basement for a bath

He is capable of:

1. Eliminate the abundance of vapors from the air, precipitating them in the form of condensate on the radiator;
2. Air conditioning;
3. To supply air back to the room - slightly warmed up and dehumidified.

Sauna heating in the basement

For the competent arrangement of the stove in the basement of the house, you will need a reliable foundation:

• A pit, with a perimeter slightly larger than the perimeter of the furnace, is dug at a certain distance from the walls.
• Then the pit is covered with rubble, tamped tightly and completely filled with concrete.
• The stove is installed in such a way that the pipe goes out through the hole in the wall of the basement, and the firebox goes into the dressing room.

Important nuances in the construction of a bath in the basement

1. At the construction stage of the house itself, a separate exit to the street must be prepared and equipped in advance.
2. Since high humidity destroys ceilings and walls, built in the usual way, their arrangement especially for a bath must be correctly made even at the stage of building a building.
3. The basement floor, equipped with a steam room with a stove, is more susceptible to fire than other floors, which means that all floors located above are under attack.

Safety measures during the construction of a bath in the basement

So, the reasons giving rise to emergency situations can be:

• Poorly organized fire safety system in the steam room even at the stage of arranging the recreation area. The bathhouse in the basement is even more susceptible to fires than in a separate wooden house.
• Saving on waterproofing can have dire consequences. Since all rooms of the bath are constantly exposed to high humidity, some elements of the building may begin to deteriorate over time. High-quality waterproofing will help to avoid such troubles.
• The device of a cheap and low-quality ventilation system can also cause damage and deterioration in the performance of those materials that were used in the process of building the whole house.
• The lack of an additional exit from the bath in the basement to the street can simply deprive visitors of the opportunity to get out in the event of an emergency.
• The choice of unsuitable materials (flammable, not heat-resistant) will inevitably turn into a disaster, leading to the need to redo a significant piece of work from scratch.

One of the most inexpensive ways to increase your home without taking up a lot of space on the site and without violating the number of storeys in suburban development is to arrange the space under the house and create a basement floor. This approach makes it possible to carry out all auxiliary premises during construction and separate them from living rooms. Since it is not beneficial for human health to be at levels below zero, (i.e., buried underground) for more than four hours a day, you should not place a dining room, living room, or, moreover, bedrooms in the basement floor.

Design features

• Consideration should be given to adequate ventilation to keep the air from stagnating and moisture to rise, otherwise there is a risk of fungus growing on the walls.
• Since sunlight does not penetrate underground, enhanced artificial lighting will be required, which must be taken into account when calculating the load on the network at the stage of creating drawings.
• When installing a sauna, showers and toilets, it will be necessary to install a special pump for the sewage system, since natural drainage under the ground is impossible.
• Basement height should be at least 2.2 m, which is the norm for both physical and psychological comfort of residents.
• In areas with wet soils, the cost of waterproofing will be significantly higher than in sandy or rocky soils.

WITH It should be borne in mind that when installing in the basement of rooms where people will stay, it is necessary to maintain the temperature from 16 to 22 0 C. In pantries or dressing rooms, heating up to 8 0 C is sufficient.

Use cases

The arrangement of a garage in the basement is a great opportunity to create convenience for all family members at the same time. This is comfortable parking, and saving space on the site, and the safety of the rest of the family. There are quite a few projects with such a solution in the catalog:

• original log cabin on a high stone base;
• three-storey with a garage for two cars, making it possible to build on a small plot;
• compact modern cottage
• unique, unparalleled

The basement can accommodate home gyms and mini-gyms:

• where the "simulator" is adjacent to the sauna and the laundry room, and the technical room separates the cold storage room from them;
• a cottage with a corner terrace where the size of the basement allows you to plan a spacious billiard room next to the sports area;
• aristocratic where a staircase hall separates the gym from the large-scale recreation room with a home theater.

A rather sensible solution is to equip a sauna or steam room with a relaxation room in the basement, where you can take a variety of wellness treatments at any time of the year. These are projects such as:

• a cottage with a small attic, where there is a steam room and a dry sauna on both sides of the shower room;
• a representative three-storey one, whose underground level accommodates both a sports area and a playroom, and a corner where you can listen to music or watch a movie while relaxing after a Finnish bath;
• quite economical and compact ”with a large shower and jacuzzi combined with a steam room in one volume.

In addition, the space underground can be completely economic or assigned to be a workshop. You can fill it with pantries for various purposes, both heated and cold for storing food and home preservation. When choosing a project, focus on the needs of your family, and we will be happy to help you with this.

Today, almost any private house has a basement or garage. Both rooms are often required. The layout of such structures has many attractive advantages:

Basement layout in a modern house

1. Common heating system for all residential and non-residential rooms of the house. You don't need to buy an additional electric heater for your garage or basement.
2. Convenient entrance to the basement from. Going for marinades will not be burdensome in any weather conditions, and there is no need to change your shoes and clothes.
3. Arrangement of a basement and a garage underground, if the area of ​​the summer cottage is small.
4. Construction is being carried out on a tight schedule.
5. A warm garage is a comfort zone for a car enthusiast.

House projects with basements and garages also have disadvantages:

You can build houses with one, two or more floors. Popular projects include a basement or garage. are also considered in demand.

Whether you need a basement, you need to decide when pouring the foundation. This option is considered convenient. Arrangement of the basement is the optimal solution for unloading the territory from various outbuildings.

Layout of all floors of a cottage with a basement, garage and attic

A practical owner will be able to place a boiler room, storage room or boiler room here. If the house has a basement, you can equip "warm floors". They are easy to make when the heating system is autonomous. Basement construction must begin when laying the foundation of the future structure.

An integrated approach requires the construction of a residential building with an attic. The loft space can be a tricky place to store unnecessary items. Here you can equip a workshop or study. often used as a guest room. During the construction process, the master must take into account that an additional load will be exerted on the foundation, therefore it is important to strengthen the foundation well.

We are building a basement in a one-story house

It is important that water does not appear in the house after rain. Getting rid of it is difficult. It is easier to avoid problems by making a high foundation. The main thing is to correctly perform calculations and drawings.

Stages of work:

When choosing the type of foundation, the structure of the soil must be taken into account. The walls of the base should not be less than 30 cm.

Having completed the markings, they dig a pit and a trench for a tape-type foundation. The basement can occupy one part of the house, the other can be set aside for the garage. The basement, intended for storing marinades and pickles, should be up to 2 m in height.When it is used as an office or workshop, it will need to go 2.5 - 3 m deep.

For the construction of the formwork, the master needs the following materials and tools:

• boards with beams;
• level;
• saw;
• self-tapping screws.

Project and layouts of the first floor and basement of the cottage

Together with the installation of wooden formwork, they are laid for insulation:

• Styrofoam;
• polyurethane foam;
• solid materials.

• cement M 400;
• crushed stone;
• water;
• sand.

The best way to prepare a solution is to use a concrete mixer. The walls of the basement and the foundation should be poured at the same time. You cannot take breaks so that the building is of high quality. Before pouring the base of a residential building, you need to fill up the sand with crushed stone into the pit.

After that, the mixture is evenly distributed over the bottom. The concrete should dry well. This takes 15 to 21 days.
