Bath of aerated concrete - preparation for construction,

The construction of the bath is the first thing that the owner of a country house with the site thinks about, taking care of its arrangement. Traditionally, this building is erected from wood, but the modern variety of building materials determines that a bath of aerated concrete, foam concrete and other cellular concrete blocks can also be built.

Bath of claydite or aerated concrete is becoming an increasingly popular type of this structure. The choice of such materials is made due to the fact that the construction work takes a minimum of time, and the price of such construction is noticeably less. Properly constructed bath of foam concrete and other cellular blocks will delight their owners and their guests for many more years.

What is aerated

Aerated concrete is one of the most popular types of cellular concrete blocks on the market today.

The composition of this material includes;

• Quartz sand;
• Cement;
• Lime;
• Gypsum;
• Aluminum dust;
• Water.

The production process involves moving the solution created from these components into an autoclave, where under certain conditions the mass foams and solidifies.

Let's see if it is possible to build a bath of aerated concrete.

These blocks are perfect for building a bath due to its undeniable advantages:

• The large size of each block with a relatively small mass;
• Affordable cost;
• Environmental Safety;
• Fire safety;
• Easy installation and processing;

Council If necessary, the machining of each individual block or already finished masonry can be used such methods as cutting reinforced concrete with diamond circles and diamond drilling holes in the concrete.

• Low thermal conductivity;
• Under such a building there is no need to build a powerful foundation; it will be enough to have a shallow support in the form of a ribbon one;
• Durability.

If a bath is being built from polystyrene concrete, from gas blocks, or from other cellular concrete, some disadvantages of such materials should be taken into account:

1. The ability to absorb large amounts of moisture;

Council Cellular concretes must be waterproofed inside and primed outside.

1. Cheap blocks have irregular geometry, which can cause uneven masonry and complicate the construction process.

Preparation for construction

Before you begin the construction process, you need to thoroughly prepare.

Choosing and buying aerated concrete

The price of blocks of this type directly depends on their quality, therefore, when choosing a material for construction, you should pay attention to the following points:

• The color of each block must be uniform on any of its faces;
• The form must be perfect, each piece element must have even edges;
• The size of all blocks must be the same;
• The purchased material must be packed in a sealed plastic wrap.

Materials and tools for work

Bath of aerated concrete blocks is built using the following tools and consumables:

1. Construction level;
2. Markup tools;
3. Grinding;
4. Glue ladles;
5. Carriages;
6. Wooden or rubber hammer;
7. Electric cutter;
8. Sawing;
9. Electric drill;
10. Strobbler
11. Cement;
12. Sand;
13. Glue for cellular blocks.

Well and, of course, it is necessary to purchase the basic material for laying in volume according to the project data.

Project work

Before you start building, you should decide on the layout of the building. Projects of a bath of aerated concrete can be ordered from a specialist, found online or developed independently.

Whichever option you prefer should be aware that the project documentation should take into account the following nuances:

• The presence in the planning room rest and vestibule;
• Supply of communications to the building;
• Type of furnace and method of its installation;
• Basement size;
• Pool;
• A set of building materials with their quantities.

Foundation arrangement

Instructions for the construction of the bath involves the arrangement of the foundation tape or column type. Moreover, the tape base will be taken more often and is considered the most reliable.

The sequence of works for the construction of the foundation:

• Leveling the ground on the site;
• Markup;
• Digging the pit;
• Laying sand and crushed cushion;
• Filling of a pillow with liquid concrete;
• Arrangement of formwork;

Council To ensure the strength and reliability of the design should be laid in the formwork reinforcement.

• Pouring concrete formwork;
• Waterproofing construction with roofing material.

Masonry walls и перегородок

When building your own hands, you should work according to the following steps:

1. Level out the surface of the basement;
2. The first layer of blocks laid on the solution, aligning the tub horizontally;
3. At the corners we install the slats and tighten the cords to ensure horizontal laying;
4. The remaining rows of laying laid on a specialized adhesive composition;
5. Each 4 row of masonry is reinforced with metal rods that fit into the recessed groove in the blocks.

1. The upper row of masonry is strengthened with the help of a solid hard belt.

Gable roof

For arrangement of the roof over your head in the baths of aerated concrete blocks used gable design.

Instructions for the construction of such a ceiling includes the following list of works:

1. Arrangement of a truss system consisting of a truss foot, a transom and a base;

Council The construction of this system is conducted from an edged board section 4/10 cm.

1. Collect triangles of overlapping fronts;
2. The implementation of the sheathing of a continuous type or with the location of the bars at a distance of 50-100 cm from each other;
3. Sheathing gable;
4. Waterproofing of the sheathing and roofing of the structure.

Finally

Теперь, когда вопрос о том, можно ли строить баню из газобетона, понятен, и даже разъяснено как это делать правильно, можно смело утверждать, что сооружение бани из данного строительного материала – это наиболее простой и экономичный процесс, который не отнимет у вас много времени (см.также статью «ТМО для прогрева бетона: назначение, характеристики, оборудование»).

After the main parts of the structure have been constructed, all that remains is to make a supply of communications, trim the aerated concrete surfaces inside and outside and, of course, install or independently build a stove, which will be responsible for the temperature in your personal bath.
