Different projects of baths from a bar with a mansard

For the construction of modern baths the most common material is timber:

• profiled;
• glued.

Properties of bars

For the production of profiled timber using logs, processed using a special machine to the desired section. The material is characterized by high quality, as a rule, manufacturers supply a set designed for the assembly of the structure with their own hands. The connection of the bars in most cases is a "thorn into the groove."

The advantages of profiled timber

• environmental friendliness;
• affordable cost;
• decent external characteristics;
• durability;
• heat insulation;
• easy installation

The specific features of the profiled bar allow the use of various types of decorative materials. Additional savings provides no need for the construction of a solid foundation, as the proposed construction has little weight.

Note! Profiled to glued laminated timber gives shrinking terms, but the price is lower.

Glued laminated timber

Production of laminated veneer lumber involves several steps:

• defects of lamels are eliminated;
• the slats are dried;
• lamellas stick together and pressed;
• fasteners are cut out in the finished timber.

Advantages of laminated veneer lumber for the construction of baths:

• durability;
• no shrinkage;
• quick installation;
• insignificant weight.

Before you start building a bath with your own hands, carefully consider every detail of the internal and external parts of the building. The most popular, satisfying the needs of the average family, is the project of a sauna from a bar with an attic of 6x4

Practicality and universality of this project has been proven in practice. Compact size allows you to easily place the building on a country site, keeping the area for planting.

Bath planning

Projects of baths from a glued bar with a mansard are claimed.

Bathroom 6x4

The 6x4 sauna project with an attic from a bar provides not only an opportunity to take a steam bath, but also to relax with comfort. With proper planning in such a bath will be able to place everything you need.

The 24 square meters of the first floor are usually divided into:

• steam room 2,5x2 m (5 sq. m.);
• shower (8 sq. m.);
• a recreation room of the same size (8 sq. m.);
• terrace 2x4 m (8 sq. m.);

Theoretically, the ground floor is more than enough to implement plans for using the building as a bath, but modern man seeks to save every centimeter of priceless land.

On the second floor there is traditionally placed a room 2,5 x 6 m (15 sq. M), which can be divided into two parts:

• bedroom;
• guestbook

Bathroom 6x6

The 6x6 sauna project with a mansard from a bar is another option for relaxation: after a wellness stay in the steam room you can relax in a comfortable room, have a cup of tea, chat with friends or even sleep.

Despite their compact size, they allow, in addition to the rooms required for a bath, to place elements with which a carefree country holiday is associated:

• spacious balcony;
• terrace.

The optimal size of the lounge, located on the first floor, is 17 sq.m.

On the second floor there is a spacious room for rest or guests, the improvement of which may correspond to a particular taste. As mentioned above, timber is a versatile material that allows the use of various decorative materials.

Architectural features

In addition to the practicality of the projects of the baths of the profiled beam with a loft, you can implement the original design solutions.

The construction of baths from the profiled bar of three styles is practiced:

• classic style (traditional wooden bath);
• Scandinavian style (Finnish houses);
• modern style (different from the traditional non-standard form and decoration).

The construction of any of the above styles requires a minimum of strength, the maximum savings are provided by the absence of the need to attract special equipment. Projects of baths of profiled timber with a loft are quite simple, allow you to easily do the work with your own hands.

First of all, it is necessary to begin with the preparation of the basis, i.e. foundation.

The timber has a small mass, but the construction technology provides for the foundation:

• tape;
• pile;
• columnar.

The choice can be made after studying the soil properties of a particular plot.

Recommendations for construction

Instructions for the construction of baths are almost the same as building a house.

Self-laying timber, be sure to insulate the gaps with special materials for the caulk:

• lnovatin;
• jut.

Waterproofing and weatherization of the bath should be given special attention, it depends on it:

• indoor climate;
• the cost of heating the steam room;
• durability.

These stages of work, as well as the materials needed for construction, should be foreseen in the project preparation process.

Attention! When insulating baths, synthetic materials that can react badly to high temperatures should be avoided.

Basic equipment

The most convenient way is to purchase standard bath projects from professional companies, and to buy from them all the components, from bars to handles and hooks.

In the basic configurations are usually supplied:

• foundation piles
• walls,
• partitions,
• ceilings
• roof,
• rafters
• window,
• insulation,
• vapor barrier,
• Decoration Materials,
• fittings.

Наружные стены монтируются из профилированного цельного или профилированного клеёного бруса. Для конструкций площадью, превышающей 6 ? 6, достаточно одной внутренней walls, для строений 6 ? 9 - две внутренние walls, выполненные из профилированного клеёного бруса.

The remaining partitions are lined with clapboard on both sides. The attic is represented by a single room without partitions, the interior is mainly finished with clapboard.

Foundation

In order for the structure to be strong and durable, it is necessary to prepare a strip or column foundation. Prepare formwork and pour concrete to the depth of soil freezing.

The height of the foundation above the ground is enough 0.5 meters, otherwise it will not be possible to prevent moisture from affecting the lower crowns of the bars. Inside the foundation space should be filled with rubble and sand.

Approximately in 2-3 weeks after hardening of concrete it is possible to start laying the first rows. For the columnar basement along the perimeter, it is necessary to install pillars (at the corners and the intended locations of the bearing internal walls).

A concrete pad is needed under each of the pillars. The traditional distance between the supports is 1.5 meters. For strength, the foundation is reinforced with reinforcement and provides waterproofing.

Laying the first crowns

The laying of the first crown of the bath is a crucial moment, it requires special attention, the build quality of the whole structure depends on this stage. The work is recommended to be carried out strictly in accordance with the project, to exercise control through the construction level.

Before embarking on the direct erection of the walls, one should check the flatness of the horizontal surface of the timber using a level. For the first row, a bursus with a cross section of 20x20 is considered the best option, for the following rows 15x15.

You should not be zealous with the compaction of rows, in the process of laying everything will fall into place. In addition, there is no need to fasten the lower bar, the strength will ensure the pressure of the upper rows. The bars of the first row should be carefully treated with an antiseptic.

Before proceeding with construction, it is necessary to understand that the work is carried out in a strictly established manner:

1. Laying crowns.
2. Alignment
3. The bond.

For fastening use metal pins driven into special holes.

Attention! After the construction of the building to the finishing work can be started only after shrinkage. Depending on the characteristics of the soil, the construction can settle down to 10 cm in 5 months.

Conclusion

The durability and practicality of a bath from a bar is guaranteed provided that the assembly technology and the use of high-quality materials are observed. The feature of the timber is ideally smooth surfaces, which exclude difficulties with interior decoration (see also the article Finished projects of baths from timber: tips and recommendations).
