Bathhouse layout. How is the space distributed in the room?

Today, many ways to relax for the soul have been invented. But, as before, the bathhouse is a “holiday” for your body, relaxation and a relaxed state. A visit to the steam room for half an hour will lift your spirits, calm you down and help you forget all your problems.

Project options for a small bathhouse

Before creating a project, you need to decide: why you need a bathhouse, how many people can be in it at the same time. But what to do when building planning is limited by the capabilities of a small area?

If your site or its topography does not allow you to choose a room for a bathhouse large sizes, then a bathhouse measuring 3 by 3 will become the most a good decision this problem.

Of course, with such a shortage of space, you will not be able to connect a steam room, washing room, locker room with a relaxation room. But the way out will be columnar foundation and a roof with a three-meter offset with the connection of a small frame structure.

Projects for 3-4 people

• with a veranda (photo);

• with a rest room (photo);

• without a veranda and a relaxation room, but with an enlarged steam room (photo).

By covering such a frame base, you can create additional space. The new space will serve as a lounge during the summer months and will serve as a locker room in the winter. So, you will achieve the most important condition comfortable layout, which should include the main rooms: steam room, locker room and washing room.

As an option, you can leave an additional building as a veranda or open terrace.

Bathhouse project for 2-3 people

One of the bathhouse planning projects could be a combination of a steam room and a washing room (photo), which will occupy 4 square meters. 2-3 people can take a steam bath in such a bathhouse.

Baths should be built for 2-3 people, because they not only wash, but also communicate. It will be safer for two or three people to steam, as people look after each other’s well-being.

It is impossible to wash or steam in a room 1.5 meters away; it turns out not to be a bathhouse, but a closet. You cannot install shelves in such a steam room; you will have to steam while sitting.

That's why the best option will combine a small steam room with a washing room.

Combining a steam room and a washing room, however, is completely inconvenient, since the air humidity will be high and the air temperature will be lower, for example, than in a bathhouse with separate rooms. You will have to comply with inconvenient conditions: first, everyone will take a steam bath, and after ventilating the room, everyone will wash.

You will have to completely abandon the combined shower option and try not to splash water. Otherwise, a huge amount of steam can have a bad effect on the well-being of even a healthy person.

The cost of a turnkey 3x3 log house is within 65,250 rubles. If you build the structure yourself, you can save half.

A compact, small-sized sauna will cost you little and can be placed in any area; in such a room there is enough space for two people to steam.

Easy construction!

For some, a bathhouse is a must spacious room, in which you can not only take a steam bath, but also relax, receive guests, have fun and simply have fun. For others, on the contrary, the bathhouse is only a steam room and is designed for a fairly short stay in it. Be that as it may, almost any owner of a private or country house dreams of building his own steam room. And a 3 by 3 meter bathhouse project takes place if for some reason it is not possible to build something larger.

Ready project

Pros of a small building

Most main feature The 3 by 3 meter baths are, of course, very modest in size. But this does not mean at all that she will be considered inferior. After all, even at six square meters With a smart approach, you can arrange everything to feel comfortable and fully enjoy the bath procedures. This layout fits perfectly into a small plot of land, which you don’t want to overload with any unnecessary structures. It will also be an aesthetic addition to the home.

In any case, if you are going to build a steam room with your own hands, you should definitely start with a 3 by 3 meter bathhouse layout. This way you’ll get fewer bumps, and you’ll be able to objectively assess your strengths regarding the construction of something more global.

What are the advantages of such small bathhouse?

1. Significant reduction in time for construction work. The absence of complex architectural elements makes the execution of all processes fast enough even for a beginner. Therefore, you can also save money on hired workers by performing all the steps yourself.
2. Much less building materials are required than for a large bathhouse. In addition, the consumption of the materials themselves is much more economical. So, standard size timber - 6 meters. And to build a small bathhouse, one beam can be cut into two, which will be fully used without waste.
3. Small bathhouses are considered very reliable. Since they require little material, you can buy only the most durable and high-quality raw materials without making a hole in your own budget.
4. A small bathhouse is much easier to legitimize than a more global building. When you are building a steam room for personal use, you can skip this step. But if in the future you want to sell a plot of land on favorable terms, it is better to contact the registration authorities in advance.
5. The mini-bath looks great on small area land, and also if almost all of its space is allocated for trees or vegetable gardens. The small structure does not take up much space, but it looks very elegant and attractive. It’s easier to fit a small bathhouse into landscape design plot.
6. If you are accustomed to regular bath procedures and do not want to stop them no matter what, then a mini-sauna for your dacha is perfect option. In a residential building, the bathhouse may have a larger area, and for irregular use in country house or at a summer cottage, a steam room for one or two people will be an excellent alternative.

Small baths are a separate category with a number of advantages. And the main one is that you can build it yourself. But before this, as with any other building, it is necessary to develop a thorough detailed project. It indicates all measurements, materials, location of premises and other information. Because the plan is kind of technical documentation, then it is better to entrust its development to a knowledgeable person.

If some calculations turn out to be incorrect, then the success of the entire construction will be in question from the very beginning.

What mandatory premises can be made

Despite such modest dimensions, a bathhouse of six square meters must consist of at least the required premises: a dressing room, a washing room and the steam room itself. The dressing room protects inner space baths from cold air. Since there is only one door leading inside - and this is the door from the dressing room - the locker room, and even more so the shower room, should be located in a separate room. In the dressing room you can provide several hooks for outerwear and a shelf for shoes. In addition, the dressing room allows you to retain heat in the steam room itself, as well as keep comfortable temperature in the shower or rest room.

The shower room may have absolutely small sizes. And if you plan to take bath procedures alone or exclusively in the company of men, then it is not necessary to allocate a separate room for a shower. It will be enough to leave one of the corners of the steam room for a shower. It can be placed as a bucket-tub with cold water, and a stationary shower, the water in which will be heated in a special tank above the stove.

If the mini-bath will be used occasionally when visiting the dacha, then there is no point in connecting it to the central water supply or installing a shower pump. The steam room in the bathhouse, 3 by 3 meters, will also have very small dimensions. Therefore, it is better to attach the shelves to the wall in two rows. This way you can save space, and under the shelves you can place buckets, tubs, brooms, and so on.

What material is best to build such a bathhouse from?

There are not so many materials for construction: brick, logs, timber, blocks. And the choice should depend, first of all, on your skills in working with this or that material. If you are new to building baths, then brickwork or a block design may not be feasible for you. Therefore, it is best to use a beam or log for the first time.

Natural wood has a number of advantages over other materials

Even if you choose some other material to build a bathhouse, it is still better to make the steam room from wood. However, not every one is suitable for these purposes.

What types of wood are best for a sauna?

Pine and spruce - only for exterior decoration

Therefore, if you want to fill your sauna with a pine aroma, use such wood strictly for exterior finishing. The situation is the same with spruce. It smells very nice, but the rich amount of resins makes it impossible to use it directly in the steam room itself. If spruce or pine is used for exterior decoration, inner surface The walls need to be laid with a vapor barrier and tiled.

Larch - health benefits

Cedar is beautiful, but expensive

In addition, cedar is rare plant, so cutting it down is prohibited. As a rule, it comes on sale from fires or obtained as a result of illegal logging. If you take into account that a 3 by 3 meter bathhouse is your first building of this kind, then it is not recommended to purchase such expensive material for it.

Oak - difficulties to use

This is expensive wood, which also should not be used when building a bathhouse for the first time. Firstly, difficulties will arise already at the stage of preparing the foundation. Oak itself is heavy, so you will have to make a major foundation. Secondly, oak logs tend to dry out in hot climates. In order not to be offended by the time and money spent, it is recommended to use more accessible breeds.

Linden and aspen are the best options

These tree species are not so expensive, they are durable and easy to work with. Linden wood under conditions proper drying does not shrink, so the sauna can be used immediately after completion of work. A sauna made of such wood quickly warms up, so fuel consumption is reduced.

Linden is an ideal option for beginners in bathhouse construction. However, linden, like the less expensive aspen, succumbs to insects, fungi and mold over time. Therefore, such wood can be used as interior decoration. And the exterior will be made, for example, from foam blocks.

Building design

When creating a 3 by 3 meter bathhouse project, you should consider general recommendations for the construction of baths:

• planning the entrance from the south side;
• installation of windows facing west.

It is believed that such a small sauna does not need windows at all, but this is a common misconception. A window is required not so much for lighting the room, but for ventilation and airing. It may be small, but its presence is mandatory in any bathhouse.

It should be as comfortable as possible for each of its visitors. So, after the dressing room it would be nice to have a shower. However, not all projects provide it as a separate room. Sometimes the shower is placed directly in the steam room, while the vacated space is used as a rest room and changing room. If the shower is located separately, the entrance from the steam room should be direct - so that it is convenient immediately after good couple douse yourself with ice water.

Construction stages

If you decide to build a sauna with your own hands, you need to develop clear instructions: what, why and how you will build it. After all, only if you have a plan, the design will be thoughtful and durable and will delight you for many years.

Foundation with formwork

Best done strip foundation, it is ideal for a small bathhouse 3 by 3 meters. To do this, we transfer the foundation drawing to the ground, previously cleared of grass, using pegs. To check the correctness of the future foundation, it is necessary to measure the diagonals of the resulting rectangle. They should not differ by more than 0.2 m. The internal perimeter line must be less than at least twice the thickness of the wall.

The next step after marking is preparing the trench. Its depth should vary between 0.5–0.7 m. It is necessary to dig a trench with the expectation that the formwork will take approximately 10–15 centimeters. The bottom of the trench is sprinkled with 10 cm of gravel and sand and compacted thoroughly. The sides of the formwork should be 10–15 cm higher than the proposed foundation. Boards fastened together with nails or screed are suitable for formwork. If you have not performed such work before, it is better to rent prefabricated formwork in advance. Even if you have to spend extra money for this, the foundation will be of excellent quality.

Foundation reinforcement is only necessary for heavy wood and brick. Next comes cement filling; it is better to use more expensive brands M250, M300. If possible, order already ready solution V construction company. It will be brought to you in a concrete truck, so you definitely won’t have any problems with pouring the foundation. The foundation must be poured once, otherwise the structure will not be as reliable. The foundation dries out in about a month, during which time it needs to be moistened periodically.

What do we make walls from?

For a beginner, it is best to build them from profiled timber 10–15 cm thick. At the same time, there is no need to additionally cover the outside with anything. The foundation is covered with a layer of insulation and insulation. The first crown of timber is attached to a pre-installed dowel reinforcement in the foundation.

Then the timber is laid on top of each other, aligning on both sides wooden dowels. The last side beam and the topmost beam are connected according to the “socket-tenon” principle. Jute is used as additional insulation and sealant. Partitions in the bathhouse are also built from basic material.

What kind of roof do you need?

A single-pitch would be ideal for a beginner, since it does not require complex rafter system. When installing such a roof, snow and rain loads must be taken into account. If your region has heavy rainfall, the roof slope should be 15 degrees or more. The rafters are laid directly on the walls of the bathhouse in pre-cut grooves. Rafters must be installed every 60–120 cm.

The sheathing, a layer of waterproofing and roofing are placed on top.

Interior work and finishing

Without them, the construction of the bathhouse can hardly be considered complete. In order for bath procedures to bring maximum comfort and pleasure, the environment must be appropriate. Therefore, after construction load-bearing structures and the roof needs to be addressed with communications and finishing.

Warming and insulation

In the steam room you need to use insulators with a natural base and foil layers. Such an insulator can be considered a kind of reflector that keeps steam within the room. If the shower and steam room are in the same room, then the insulator must be laid throughout the entire space.

Foil insulation must be overlapped onto the insulator, alternately wrapping them with reinforced tape. Afterwards, the sheathing is installed and the finishing material - lining - is attached to it.

All communications

If a small bathhouse will be used only from time to time, then there is no point in connecting it to all communications. It is enough to provide cesspool or a septic tank for used water and electricity for lighting the shower and vestibule. Communications are carried out upon completion of finishing work.

In addition, good ventilation is a must. Without quality ventilation system The steam room will wear out much faster. However, if you use the bathhouse rarely and for a short time, you can skip this point.

Interior and exterior finishing

Aspen or linden wood is ideal for interior decoration. Despite the fact that they deteriorate faster than oak, they have a healing effect. And a damaged element can always be eliminated and replaced with a new one. In addition, these types of wood are quite durable. For exterior finishing are used different materials- both lining and siding. It all depends on financial capabilities and personal preferences.

Recently, block house lining has become increasingly popular, which appearance very similar to a log house.

Extensions and superstructures: is it worth building?

Not much can be accommodated on six square meters, so often extensions are made to such small bathhouses in the form of a terrace or veranda, or a second floor with an attic is added. This is a very beneficial solution from a practical point of view. After all, on the second floor you can place a rest room, utility rooms and auxiliary premises. A frame veranda will become great place for shish kebab and barbecue even in bad weather.

But don't forget that two-story baths have their own design features. Therefore, it is better to immediately decide what kind of bathhouse you want in order to order in advance the project that best suits you. But it’s much easier to build a veranda with your own hands. It can be open or closed. In the warm season it is used as summer kitchen, which will make your stay even in a small bathhouse cozy and comfortable.

Choosing a stove for a 3 by 3 m bath

For small steam rooms it is preferable to install iron stoves. Stone ones, on the contrary, would be inappropriate in such a small room. The iron stove is compact, heats up quickly and heats up all the sauna rooms in just as short a time. The stove must be installed so that the fire is carried out in the shower room, and the stones are in the steam room. Another advantage of such stoves: they can be installed on wooden surface. With a relatively low weight, they are completely ready for use and do not require modifications.

If the size of the land plot or finances do not yet allow you to acquire a large and extensive bathhouse, this is not a reason to give up your dream. You can always build a cozy mini-sauna with an area of ​​only six square meters and at the same time place all the essentials on it.

Even a beginner can complete this project. The main thing is to entrust the design of the bath to a professional, and then just follow the plan. Then everything will work out, and you will enjoy bath treatments right at home!

Modern timber construction

The art of construction wooden buildings has roots in the deep past. Our ancestors used wood as a building material long before stone buildings appeared. The wooden architectural monuments that have survived to this day date back hundreds of years and are capable of causing a storm of enthusiastic emotions, stunning with their special expressiveness and the splendor of the structure as a whole.

To this day, wood is considered the most popular material for the construction of structures for various purposes. Its reserves, of course, are not unlimited, but manufacturing process gaining momentum. But even in the age of rapidly developing technologies, no worthy substitute has been found - an alternative material that at least partially inherits the main part of the quality characteristics of wood.

Construction of baths according to standard designs

For owners of small plots located in a suburban area and those wishing to build small sauna on own plot, modern architectural and design companies offer a wide selection of oversized structures, which include structures such as bathhouses, measuring 3.0x3.0 and 3.0x4.0 meters. They are very simple and easy to assemble. Each project document is developed in full accordance with the rules and regulations wood construction With precise calculation required material, its waste and economic costs. In addition, when choosing standard scheme construction, you can place an order for an individual project, which will be arranged according to the client’s wishes.

It's important to know that

Individual design takes into account the wishes of the customer, but adheres to certain standards construction documentation, GOSTs, SNiPs and recommended rules for the construction of structures made of natural wood.

During development individual project the number of users exploiting the bath building on an ongoing basis. There are custom standards that correspond to the following standard values ​​​​accepted during the construction of a bathhouse.

Standards for using bath space per person:

• one and a half square meters in the steam room, washing room or shower sections;
• 40 sq.m. in the locker room;
• 75 sq.m. is allocated per person in the rest room;
• the norm for 1 person in a vestibule or hallway will be 1.3 sq.m.

The given figures reflect only the minimum amount of space per person recommended when drawing up a typical project for an oversized bathhouse. It is equipped with standard premises - a steam room, a washing room and a hallway. The calculation of a room with a small area is made based on:

• the minimum width of the bath shelf is at least 0.4 m;
• its standard length is at least 0.9 m, where a person can fit with his legs;
• The length of the shelf or bench in the “reclining” position must be at least 1.5 m.

It is advisable to position the stove in the steam room in such a way that the firebox opens into the rest room. With this position of the stove, it is quite convenient to heat it, and serious savings are achieved when heating the bathhouse. An additional vestibule device will allow you to retain heat, and winter time will not allow frosty air to penetrate deeply into the room, which also saves energy resources.

When drawing up an oversized project, it is advisable to take into account everything small parts, A functional rooms arrange in a certain sequence. So, the rest room should be located in close proximity to the exit, regardless of whether there is a waiting room. Next is the washing compartment, and only after that comes the steam room.

It's important to know that

Location interior spaces is determined by the order of procedures, since before entering the steam room, a person must rinse or take a shower.

Construction project 3 by 3 meters

The bathhouse, measuring 3.0 x 3.0 meters, is a very compact structure that fits easily and is quite simply installed on a small standard summer cottage plot of 6 acres. The dacha a priori does not have spacious interior spaces, not to mention big room rest or large washing compartment. In oversized construction, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Interior decoration very cozy, thanks to natural finishing materials– aspen, cedar or linden. The small size of the steam room allows you to quickly pump up steam and thereby seriously reduce energy supply costs.

Construction project 3 by 4 meters

Design developments for the construction of a bathhouse, 3.0 x 4.0 meters in size from profiled timber, consist of three main rooms - a relaxation room, a washing room and a steam room. For buildings of a similar plan, there are interesting ones where Finishing work made of aspen lining. Availability attached veranda visually increases the volume of a modest room, while providing additional space for relaxation.

The big advantage of buildings made of profiled timber over log houses is that the buildings are not subject to shrinkage and the operation of the premises can begin immediately after construction.

How to calculate the area of ​​a room

In my own way internal structure traditional sauna enough simple design, which includes only three main rooms: a dressing room, a soap dish-washing room and a steam room in which the heater is located as the main source of steam - the product of the steam room. The heater is installed in such a way that one of its sides is in contact with the wall of the dressing room, thereby serving as a heating element for the adjacent room. The heater is installed in the corner behind the door entering the department. Occasionally, an additional heat source is installed in the dressing room for heating - a metal potbelly stove. The stoves are heated with wood.

The steam room is equipped with shelves, which are installed in such a way that you can lie on them at full height, and when standing up, you will not hit the ceiling with your head. The main shelf, or shelves, is not removable. The platform is permanently installed at a certain distance above the upper level of the stones that make up the heater. Therefore, the ceiling height is calculated depending on the level of installation of the shelves.

For example, if the platform is located at a height of one meter from the floor level, then the height from the shelf to the ceiling should be at least 1.10 m. Such space will allow an adult to sit on the platform without touching the ceiling with his head, and comfortably steam while working with a broom. Therefore, the average ceiling height of a steam room is 2.10 m.

Often the equipment uses wide benches that can accommodate your feet. As a rule, there are two of them – low and high, which are periodically removed from the steam room. The area of ​​the steam room is calculated in such a way that people receiving procedures do not feel crowded, that is, based on the number of people simultaneously in the steam room and receiving procedures.

Location on the site and layout of the bathhouse

The construction of a bathhouse on a site involves certain measurements and specific calculations carried out on the territory, especially if the site is small. It is advisable to position the building in such a way that it is located on a hill, having first determined the location sewer well for water drainage. Before laying the foundation, it is very important to describe as accurately as possible the layout of various communications.

To save space and create a common communication network, you can link the bathhouse to the main house. This will significantly reduce the cost of engineering equipment, such as water supply, lighting and sewerage.

It's important to know that

When creating a project, it is advisable to position the main window openings of the bathhouse in a western direction so that the rays of the setting sun can penetrate into the room, creating a cozy atmosphere of complete tranquility.

When planning interior spaces, it is advisable to dispose usable area in such a way that the dressing room and washing compartment have dimensions close to each other - up to 6.0 sq.m each.

At the entrance it is a good idea to attach a small vestibule, which has the protective functions of the room, especially in bad weather and winter period, preventing cold air masses from entering the heated room.

The optimal area of ​​the steam room for a small bathhouse is about 9 sq.m. They build it square with low ceiling, which makes it possible to quickly heat the room, and a high threshold, which prevents the outflow of steam and heat loss from the steam room. The wall of the steam room adjacent to the dressing room is blank. Along it there are shelves in a couple of rows. In the corner behind the door there is a stove-heater with one of the sides adjacent to the wall with a dressing room, which provides heating to the adjacent room. There should be a window opening on the wall opposite the entrance to the steam room and, as a rule, a window opening is placed along it. wooden benches with attributes of the bathing process.
A small bathhouse is often equipped with only two rooms - a steam room and a dressing room, and each of them carries an additional load. The steam room is additionally used as a washroom, and the dressing room serves as a hallway, locker room and rest room. With this arrangement, the body of the stove is located in a steam compartment, and the process of loading firewood is carried out from the dressing room, which in this situation is also considered a combustion chamber.

It's important to know that

Door leading to pairs department should open into the dressing room, and not vice versa. Such a discovery front door prevents steam from entering the room where dry clothes are stored.

Built-in and free-standing sauna

Depending on the project, the bathhouse can be located either in one of the rooms of the house located on the site, or as a separate independent structure. As a rule, both options are small baths, whose size does not exceed 3.0x3.0 or 3.0x4.0 sq.m.

Projects separately standing baths may provide various options extensions, such as terraces, verandas or a small swimming pool without heating at the base of the building, if, of course, the site area allows. Interesting solution is a layout project. Also very popular among customers is the design of a bathhouse with an attic, where you can place a billiards room, an office or a bedroom. Or use it as a guest house.

The only drawback of free-standing buildings can be considered their additional insulation, since the location of the bathhouse in the walls common house implies the process of insulation only in the steam room. In a separate building, almost all rooms are insulated, with the exception of the furnace room, unless it is moved beyond the outer boundaries of the walls. The biggest advantage separately standing bathhouse is its almost complete fire safety in relation to the common house.

The process of building a small bathhouse

A small bathhouse is quite economical in many respects, from laying the foundation to interior decoration. For a small log house, as a rule, a lightweight strip foundation is used. In addition, a significant part of the cost savings occurs when purchasing building materials. Taking into account the construction of an oversized structure, there are also no difficulties with joining rows of logs at the time of their laying and the main selection of lumber.

The main advantage of a small bathhouse is its heating process. The purchased equipment is matched to an oversized building with minimal power, its cost is an order of magnitude lower, technical support- the most primitive and easy to manage.

If you use a frame rather than a frame as a building material, then financial expenses will be reduced significantly. The construction of frame premises today is considered the most inexpensive, fastest and quality construction, allowing the premises to be used immediately after it has been rebuilt, since the shrinkage process frame buildings absent.

Thermal insulation frame walls are carried out with high quality modern materials. WITH outside the bathhouse is decorated with siding, and if you decorate such a bathhouse with block house clapboard, it will become very similar to a log house.

If you live in a private house or have a summer house. How nice it is to wash in your own bathhouse in the evening after a hard day at work.

Or in winter, in the bitter cold, take a steam bath with brooms! So that you can leave the bathhouse and feel as if you were born again.

Often people who are planning to build a bathhouse turn to construction organizations or various teams. But if you figure it out, you can build a bathhouse yourself, saving enough money. The main thing would be desire.

If you decide to start building a bathhouse, then the first thing you must decide on is its size.

Certainly ideal project and bathhouses 5 by 5. But it is not always possible to build a bathhouse of this size. You don’t always need a large bathhouse if, for example, you live alone. It’s not worth overpaying for construction materials, and when lighting a large bathhouse, much more firewood or coal will be consumed.

Therefore, we will consider a 3 by 3 bathhouse project.

The 3 by 3 bathhouse project is like a mini bathhouse. Designed for one washing person. At correct layout A 3 by 3 bathhouse will significantly save the consumption of building materials if you approach the matter wisely. Even in this small room It is possible to retain all the necessary functions.

Bathroom layout 3 by 3

What should be in any bathhouse, regardless of its size.

• Waiting room
• Steam room
• Washing

You can add a rest room to the standard rooms. In our case, the layout of a 3 by 3 bath should be compact, because there is not a lot of space. We divide our bathhouse into two rooms. We leave one smaller one for the dressing room. In the second we will have a combined steam room and washing room.

We will install a stove in the corner of the wall adjacent to the dressing room. Usually this is the left corner, and in the right corner we will place a door. In our case, it is better to install a purchased stove. Compact stoves with a protective screen are available for sale. The stove set includes water tanks, mounted, soldered to the stove. They don't take up much space. This way we will gain extra space. On the wall opposite from the stove, we make curtains. One above the other. The minimum width of the canopies for sitting is 40 centimeters, and for shelves designed for lying the width should be about a meter. The canopies can be made removable so that they can be removed if necessary. This will be a steam zone.

We will have a washing area in the center of the room.

We will not make windows in the steam room or washing room, but we will make a small window in the dressing room.

The layout of a 3 by 3 bathhouse can be arranged in such a way that the stove is fired from the dressing room. This way we will free up space in the washroom and steam room. And in winter it will be warm in the dressing room.

We will not place hangers and shelves in the dressing room, but will hang ropes under the roof for drying towels. We will nail hooks for clothes on the walls. You can put a folding chair in the corner of the dressing room. The height of the ceilings in the bathhouse is no more than two meters, so that heat is not lost and is at the level of human height. We will not put a ceiling in the dressing room in order to increase the space, which is already very limited for us.

You can come up with a bunch of different ideas. In our case, due to limited area It's hard to come up with something new. This 3 by 3 bathhouse design is the most optimal.

This is not an ideal construction option, but many still consider these dimensions when building baths. Besides large design not always necessary. Why build a large sauna if you have a small family? Of course, there are many excuses for this, but if you have financial difficulties, you can build quite a comfortable room.

Let's think about the layout

Small dimensions allow you to save a lot on materials and energy costs. After all, it is much easier to warm up a small steamy room. An electric stove or a masonry stove - in any case it will be required less costs. Speaking to the point, when the right approach, you can save everything functional features baths even with such dimensions.

The dimensions of the 3 by 3 bath allow you to organize a full-fledged washing compartment, steam room and dressing room. At the same time, no one forbids combining the internal space. When drawing up a plan, it is necessary to delimit the space into two compartments. One is larger, for the steam room and sink, the second is slightly smaller, for the dressing room and dressing room.

It is better to install the stove in the corner of the wall adjacent to the dressing room, and door frame place on the opposite side. Thus, it is possible to achieve maximum effect heat preservation. Considering its small size, it is better to purchase a ready-made stove and not try to “shove” a heater under which you need to make an additional base. Various copies are available for sale. protective screens. It will be more convenient to choose a sauna stove with a built-in water storage tank. This will allow you to additionally gain space and protect yourself from additional work for installation of a separate tank.

We place the shelves on the side opposite from the stove. Minimum width steps - 40 cm. Since the height to the ceiling will be 2 meters, it is recommended to make 2 steps. If you wish, you can install a removable shelf, which will allow you to remove it for drying at the end of the bath procedures. In a 3 by 3 meter bathhouse, there is no need to make window structures. A little ventilation in the steam room is enough. Install small window better in the dressing room.

What will we build from?

The most simple option There will, of course, be a frame structure mounted on a lightweight base. A structure made of timber or traditional “round timber” is considered a good option. These are selected logs, pre-sanded and processed. Tow or modern is used as insulation jute fiber. Depending on financial capabilities, it is possible to build a bathhouse from blocks, rounded logs or profiled timber. But in any case, the material must be of appropriate quality. If wood is preferred, it must be dried and impregnated with protective compounds.

How will we build?

In any size, the construction of a bathhouse is carried out according to pre-established rules: first the foundation is laid, then the box or frame is assembled, the roof is installed and, at the final stage, finishing, with installation of bath units and electrical wiring.

Foundation for a 3 by 3 bath

The choice of base is not a whim of the owner, but a necessity that plays important role V bearing capacity the entire building. To select a foundation, all influencing factors are taken into account and a 3 by 3 bathhouse, in any form, is no longer considered a lightweight structure. Therefore, the foundation must be reliable. Of all the options, you can use any type to build a foundation with your own hands. These include pillars, piles and even a slab base. The most rational option would be to fill a shallow-depth tape. The order of execution is as follows:

• First, a trench is prepared according to the size of the bathhouse, up to 70 cm deep;
• a sand and gravel cushion of 15–20 cm is poured onto the bottom;
• formwork is assembled, up to 20 cm high;
• the trench is being reinforced;
• on last stage, the solution is poured, pinned to release air and left for a month to harden.

After hardening, the surface of the tape is closed waterproofing material and you can proceed to the next work.

Walling

Assembling a box from 100x100 cm timber, for lower crowns It is better to use a material with a larger cross-section. Still, this is the basis, and it should be more massive. You can use material with a cross-section of 150x150 cm. The harness is attached to the foundation with special plates. When building a bathhouse 3 by 3 meters on two floors, no additional fastening is needed. The weight of the structure will press the base to the foundation. If the partitions in the bathhouse will also be made of timber, then at the stage of laying the first crown, it is necessary to work out the insertion points connecting elements.

Connecting the corners “into a paw” is first done at the ends of the beam; recesses of the appropriate size are cut out so that when connecting two logs, you get an even link, without protrusions. Having laid the first crown, it is secured at the corners with a screw connection. All subsequent rows are fixed with dowels with preliminary laying of jute as a sealant and insulation.

Window designs are worked out either during the construction of walls, or are cut out after assembling the frame. The second option is preferable; there is no need to prepare timber in advance for laying the window opening and additionally adjust each row. Cutting out the installation location of a window or door in an already laid out log house is faster and easier.

Manufacturing of roofing and ceiling

The roof structure does not have to be complicated. It is better to consider the option of one or gable system. The angle of inclination is selected according to the selected roof covering material, taking into account its weight. With this condition, wood for the ceiling and rafter system is also purchased. When choosing heavy bitumen roofing felt or tiles, it is necessary to further strengthen the structure with horizontal and vertical supports.

The simplest ceiling structure– flat. On the attic side, logs are laid, on top of which a board is sewn. Then, from the inside of the bath, a heat-insulating “pie” is laid, sewn up with clapboard. For a steam room, it is recommended, in addition to the vapor barrier, to lay a layer of waterproofing film.

Bath floor

There are no special recommendations for laying the floor in a 3 by 3 meter bathhouse. Provided that the foundation is strip, pouring a concrete coating is allowed. The drainage system is worked out in advance, the heat insulator is backfilled or it is laid between the floor joists, provided that the floor is created according to such a system. In any case, it is necessary to work out a slight angle of inclination towards the sewerage in the bathhouse so that the water does not stagnate on the floor.

Stages of external and internal finishing

Before you start decorating the room, you need to insulate the ceiling and walls according to all the rules. Special attention given to the steam room. Here it is necessary to use only insulators for natural basis with obligatory laying of foil layers. This is a kind of reflector that traps steam indoors. When combining a washing compartment and a steam room, the entire space is subject to such treatment. To relieve the room a little from the heat, the locations of the vents are being worked out.

The insulation is laid as tightly as possible. Insulators and foil material are attached with a slight overlap, covered with reinforced tape. Then the sheathing is filled and the lining is attached. For these purposes, material made from linden or aspen is used. This is expensive wood and should only be used for steam rooms and washing. In the dressing room, finishing is allowed coniferous species.

Upon completion of finishing, a stove or a steam generator for a bathhouse, a storage tank for cold water, is installed, and electricity is installed in accordance with the standards. Then you need to heat the bathhouse. After cooling, places where the lining is weakly secured will reveal themselves. It will be necessary to correct the shortcomings and start using the bathhouse.

Despite its small dimensions, the construction of a 3 by 3 meter bathhouse must be taken seriously. With the wrong approach, the situation can radically change, which will immediately affect the quality of bath procedures.
