How to build eco-friendly bath with his hands

Now let's talk about the most common mistakes in the design and construction of a bath and pay special attention to its most important elements.

 

The FoundationLike any other building, bath-house begins with the Foundation that there are a great many varieties. The biggest mistake at this stage of construction will be to choose the Foundation based only on the price of materials or fashion trends. Most good Foundation for bath from logs is considered filler tape.





To the Foundation have served you faithfully for many years, it is necessary to take into account the relief of the soil, on which will be the bath, as well as the degree of mobility in the period of freezing and thawing. All the materials from which will be poured the Foundation, you need to test: pour the solution into a form, let it harden and get a good hit with a hammer. If the materials are high quality, hardened cement will not crumble.

To tragic consequences and the violation of the procedure for solution preparation: water + cement + gravel + sand, and nothing else. Well ensure that your solution has not got a slag — he quickly destroyed and will shorten the life of the Foundation.

 

Framerecently blockhouses for baths are more often manufactured from softwood trees, although this is not entirely correct. To build the perfect room, and every time to achieve in full harmony, best for the walls to take the Linden or aspen, which do not have extraneous odors and not "smoke". Aspen thrives in humid conditions and last for years.

To log into the carcass lasts longer, check with the seller when they were harvested. It is best to use the log winter wood, as in the freezing temperatures, the movement of juice in the tree smaller, and the wood is denser and stronger.





After installation you need to give the frame a year in delay — without this point it is impossible to build a good bath. During this time, logs osyadut and lapped each other.

 

Fire safetyMistakes at this stage, it is better not to do, as they can lead to ignition of the building's construction and the tragic consequences for those who wash in the bath.

But don't worry — it's not that difficult if done correctly and wisely. As for oven and fireplace, wooden walls and ceiling around them better sheathing metal sheets, and the chimney can be hidden in a metal box. If you keep it away from hot items all wooden parts is 40 cm, then your bath will be safe from harm.



 

In addition to hot items, fire safety is more wiring. It can be stretched on the ground or in the air, better highlighting for "bath" posting a separate line. For complete safety wire can be hidden in gofroshlanga, and in place of its passing through the wall to install a metal pipe.

 

Oven and chimneyAs a chimney for a bath? Highlights:

  • draft in the chimney would be better, if the pipe is circular;
  • the height of the chimney must be at least 5 meters, 0.5 meters while the elevation above the level of the peak of the roof;
  • the flue installation should start from the bottom up;
  • in place of passing through the roof, you need to install the entrance box, which is filled up with expanded clay.




As for furnaces for baths and materials, the best here is, of course, brick. It retains heat, heats quickly, looks aesthetically pleasing and refined. But a brick oven requires lining to reduce moisture absorption, but this can be expensive.

Another option is cast iron or steel furnace. They instantly heat up and distribute heat throughout the room...but don't hold heat in and burn out the oxygen in the bath.

 

Fuel and stovea Big mistake when choosing a fuel bath will use softwood that smoke and clog up the chimney a large amount of soot and fumes. The best option of fuel serve as birch, oak and alder firewood. Birch is well lit and hot, the oak retains heat, and alder vaporize aromatherapy oils that energize.

The heater and its content — it would seem a trifle in comparison with the frame and Foundation, but also very, very important. Stones is better to take a small, clean, plump. Any stone before use, needs to be heated on the stove — if it will not crack and will not allocate the fumes — can safely use.



  

We hope that our tips will help you in the construction of baths, which will bring not only clean and health but also the peace of mind coupled with positive emotions. There is something special when after a hot bath and plectania a broom out in the warm summer evening at sunset, sit in the gazebo with a Cup of home brew and admire the setting sun. published
