House combined with a bath project. Bath-house: projects of impressive and stylish tandems

Many people who are planning to build a private house and who love a bath often have the idea of connecting these premises. And it happens that the site is small and there is simply no place on it to accommodate a separate bathhouse. What are the options for combining a bath with a house?

Peculiarities

Like any other construction project, a house and a bathhouse built as a single complex have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Let's talk about the pros first.

Convenience for owners. There is no need to put on warm clothes to get to the bathhouse and come back.

If it is customary in the family to visit the sauna with children, it is even more comfortable.

Risk reduction colds. In the case of using a bath as a prevention of colds, it is logical that after it steamed people do not go out into the cold, risking catching this very cold disease.
Project budget. Equipping a steam room in the house is much cheaper than building it separately. In addition, it is easier to equip engineering networks - they will be combined with the networks of the house.

Space saving. This is very convenient when the plot of land is small (less than 10 acres) or it is not practical to place additional buildings on it.
The sauna, equipped inside the house, does not need large maintenance costs, as if it were a separate structure.
In the bath, if it is part of the house, you can dry, for example, linen. Or design a laundry room with drying during construction.

As you can see, there are many advantages, and they are quite significant. Now let's look at the disadvantages.

The main inconvenience of such a project is the need to comply with and comply with fire rules and regulations. The material from which the house is built, and the place where the bath is located, must fully comply with them. For houses with baths, rebuilt from wood, the requirements are especially serious.
Ignoring SNiPs and other mandatory rules during construction will lead to the fact that the relevant services (this includes sanitary, fire, electricity and others) will not issue a permit to put the facility into operation. Accordingly, such an object will be operated illegally. If you do not report that a bathhouse is equipped in the house, you can seriously suffer - large fines will be issued and engineering networks will be turned off.

If engineering and technical norms and rules are not observed, for example, you can pay with high humidity inside the house (this is especially true for wooden buildings). And from this it is a stone's throw to such troubles as mold or fungus, which destroy and deform all structures in the house. Therefore, it is imperative to be puzzled by the correct hydro and vapor barrier, as well as to ensure good ventilation in the bath.
The sewerage in the bath will have to be done separately, since in common pipe draining all the water from the steam room is impractical - too much load.
If a wood-burning stove-heater is installed in the bath, then it is necessary to properly adjust the draft so that soot does not settle on the walls and ceiling.
For insurance companies, houses combined with a bathhouse are objects of increased danger. Accordingly, the sum insured will be much lower, and the conditions of the insurance policy will be much tougher.

You can place a bath either in the basement or basement (if any), or next to the bathroom and toilet.

Building drawings

A house and a bathhouse located under the same roof can be built in two ways:

the project was originally designed for the construction of the complex;
the bathhouse acts as an extension to an already rebuilt house.

The second option is more common: first they build a house - a country house or for permanent residence, and after that thoughts about the bath appear. You can use ready-made projects, or you can develop it yourself.

Currently, there is a decrease in the popularity of the classic layout of private houses with separate buildings: a bathhouse, a garage, a gazebo, a summer kitchen. Modern designs of large houses and cottages are becoming more widespread, under the roof of which rooms of different purposes are combined: rooms of the house, a garage and a bathhouse. Since now in the market of building materials huge selection– from brick to aerated concrete, these projects are easy to implement.

The projects of cottages with built-in sauna and garage have a lot of advantages.

Variability:

a bathhouse and a garage can be located in the basement (basement), living rooms- on the first;
if the house is one-story, then, of course, all the premises will be located on one floor;
it is possible to make a bathhouse and a house under the same roof, but with different entrances, connecting them inside with a passage, then it will be possible to get into the bathhouse, bypassing the entrance to the house;

if the building is planned to be two-story, there are even more options - 2 floors will allow you to plan the location of the rooms as you like;
there are also many so-called "one and a half-story" houses - with an attic, in which there can be a workshop, an office, a billiard room or a nursery;
the size of the garage can also be different: for one or two cars, 6x8 m, 6x6 m, the dimensions of the bath can also vary - 6x8, 6x9 m, it can be with or without a rest room, together with a bathroom or separately from it.

One of the main advantages of the joint object is the convenience of the owners. Put the car in the garage - and you are already in slippers. Also a bath - no need to go through the frost through the entire area and back. The hostess can make face masks and, without being afraid that prying eyes will see her, calmly walk around the house, then return to the bath again and finish the spa treatments.

The owner can also combine soaring in the Finnish sauna with friends with a friendly billiards match.

The house, garage and sauna combined together save a huge amount of space in the country house. On it you can create beds, greenhouses, a greenhouse or such interesting design solutions like an alpine slide or rockery. Most space is saved if the house is small, but two-story. Then in the garage, for example, you can install a boiler for a bath, and replace the rest room in the bath with a kitchen in the house. You can place the grill on the terrace near the bath. The sauna stove can become an additional source of heat for the whole house. In addition, communications are much easier to mount once than to bring them to each building separately.

The layout of the house with the letter "G" is also very interesting option for the combined project. You can make the most of the entire area by beating the corner rooms and arranging them as conveniently as possible for the owners. The optimal area for a fairly comfortable accommodation of a house with a bathhouse (and a garage) is 10x12 m. Everything can be “embedded” in it - an attic, a terrace, a summer kitchen with a canopy, a fireplace, and a brazier. The layouts of houses 9 by 15 are also interesting, they are one of the most popular among the owners. country houses. If there is not so much space on the site, or the above options are not so budgetary, there are also 8x8 houses. This the average size, which can be no less comfortable for the family, provided successful planning. The most budget option is a 6x8 house, but it requires very careful project planning so that it is not crowded.

materials

The basis of the bath is the walls, they determine the reliability of the construction, the quality of thermal insulation and, to a large extent, the comfort inside.

Most often, the walls of the bath are erected from:

bricks;
foam concrete, aerated concrete;
wood concrete;
tree.

brick walls very hard to put down. They have a high thermal conductivity, so you need to strengthen the thermal insulation. Under the brick walls it is necessary to lay the foundation.

Wood concrete is a mixture of cement with organic aggregates. mainly shredded wood. Its properties are similar to foam concrete, it is also made in the form of blocks. You can make it yourself right at the construction site, the technology is very simple. The main drawback is one - low resistance to moisture.

Foam concrete and aerated concrete blocks they have much higher thermal insulation qualities, besides, they are much lighter and do not require a massive foundation under them.

The size of a standard wall foam block is 20x30x60 cm, and it alone is 13 silicate bricks. It is not difficult to build walls from foam blocks yourself.

If you build walls from wood concrete, they need to be upholstered with a protective coating.

Wood is most often used for the construction of baths in our country. There are enough wood species suitable for this; experienced builders distinguish larch, pine, and cedar.

To raise the log cabin of the bath, the following materials are suitable:

logs (solid or round);
sawn timber with a rectangular section;
profiled timber;
glued profiled timber.

You can use both wet material and dried. For a log house, the first is better. The more moisture in the material, the more the frame will shrink. Glued laminated timber practically does not need shrinkage. A log cabin takes longer and more than the rest. It is not necessary to mention that wood is the most environmentally friendly material, so it is best suited for building a bath.

Interior Design

If we talk about the interior decoration of the bath, then, as a rule, it is not included in finished projects. Architects develop only a project, and then the fantasy of either the owner or the designer invited by him comes into play.

The fundamental step is the choice of material for finishing. It is not necessary to take one type of wood, their combination will give the bath originality. Of course, you need to take into account the properties of the material you have chosen, otherwise you will be in for a lot of disappointment.

Interior decoration performs a large number of functions:

bath insulation and waterproofing;
extension of its service life;
effect on the body through excretion useful substances into the air at high temperatures;
decorative function.

Dressing rooms and rest rooms are well decorated with pine. It is inexpensive, easy to process and has an interesting structure. Pine is not suitable for the steam room, because when the air temperature rises, it releases resin, which will cause a lot of inconvenience. No chipboard and no linoleum are allowed - these are combustible materials, moreover, the latter emits when heated different kind substances that are of little use to humans.

Linden or larch is better suited for finishing the steam room and sink. There will be no burn from touching these rocks when the air is heated. In addition, both types of wood do not lose their attractive appearance for a long time. It is also good to finish the steam room with alder, birch, aspen, cedar. These types of wood do not conduct heat well, so they do not heat up much. In addition, they dry out very quickly at the end of the bath procedure.

No chemical coatings can be used in the steam room, because all of them, when heated, evaporate toxic substances.

To seal the room, often the walls are trimmed with clapboard, under which there is mineral insulation and aluminum foil.

If there are no other finishing options in the steam room, except for wood, then in the washing room and especially in the rest room there is where to roam about the design and realize all the interesting ideas. If space and finances allow, a removable floor can be made in the washing room, under which there is a small pool or jacuzzi. There is no place for a pool - it does not matter, you can make a font from a barrel and relax in it. A waterfall instead of a shower and a natural “wild” style are an original solution for a home bath. Whatever finds the designers will not surprise - what is worth only a shower in the form of a huge watering can or furniture made from barrels in the dressing room.

Excellent layout - with two lounges: a small tea room, finished with wood, next to the steam room, and a large one, for example, with a billiards table. And the lamps hidden under supposedly torn boards along the walls will add modernity to the interior. Outwardly, such a building with a house can be designed as a tower or a fairy-tale palace.

Exterior finish

The purpose of the exterior decoration of the bath is to insulate its facade. If you make it ventilated, then the settling of drops of moisture on the walls will be excluded. This will extend the life of the bath. When choosing any material, you need to remember that it must be combined with the decoration of the whole house, since these rooms will be combined. Or you can finish the bath with the same material that the house itself is lined with, without highlighting its walls against the background of the main structure.

The following materials are suitable for finishing:

siding (vinyl or metal);
lining (wood, plastic);
timber imitation;
block house.

Metal siding is not combustible and is great for finishing a bath. Siding panels are available in widths from 0.2 to 1.2 m, the color has more than 15 shades. There are many manufacturers both in Russia and abroad.

One of the most sought-after construction projects is a house with a sauna under one roof. Such popularity is due to the functionality and ease of construction. A bathhouse can be provided at the design stage of the house, or it can be added to the house later as an extension. We have prepared for you the most successful ideas for steam room and living space projects under one roof.

Pros and cons of combined construction

The complex in the form of a steam room and a residential building in one building has a number of advantages:

Territory saving. For owners of small land plots, combining a bathhouse and a house is sometimes the only way to get their own steam room.
During the initial construction of the complex, the combination of a bathhouse and a house allows you to spend less time and money on the construction of a building in comparison with the separate construction of two buildings. An additional plus - you can not spend money on building a rest room and a bathroom, but only on a dressing room and a steam room directly.
Higher level of comfort. Placing a steam room within a residential building allows all family members different ages take it comfortably water procedures, which is especially important in winter time.
Reducing the cost of maintenance and upkeep. Since the house is used all year round, you do not have to spend a budget on the maintenance of a separate room. In addition, due to the absence of a temperature difference, the bath will last longer.
Ability to create a unified communication system.

However, when building a combined bath with a house, be prepared for such difficulties:

Strict observance of building codes and regulations, which require high-quality hydro and thermal insulation of buildings, ventilation.
The bath will need to be treated with refractory impregnations, antifungal antiseptic preparations to prevent the development of mold.
Building in the form of a house and a bathhouse under one roof has an increased fire hazard, so obtaining insurance can be difficult for home owners.

Important! If you do not comply with building codes and regulations, you can get a refusal to put the building into operation, that is, the use of the house will be illegal. This threatens with fines and shutdown of engineering networks. In no case should you attach or combine a bathhouse with a house without the consent of the relevant services!

Combination options

Consider in more detail the combination options, there are several of them:

Annex. A very common, although not the most successful option in terms of convenience. However, often people build a house and only then think about building a bath. In this case, the bath has a separate entrance from the street. To use the steam room (especially in winter) it was more convenient, the entrance to the bathhouse and the house should be combined with a common glazed veranda. This will entail additional expenses but the result will be worth it. It is also possible to provide autonomous ventilation, water supply and sewerage.
Bath and house have common wall.
Bath is one of the premises of the house, located on the first or basement floor. In this case, the steam room is laid at the design stage of the house.

The combination of a steam room and a residential building can be laid initially, then the construction takes place at once. But a more common option - a bath is attached to an already erected building. In the last situation, you should pay attention to the following points:

site for building an extension. Experts recommend building a bath from the side of the kitchen;
engineering networks and communications: wiring and sewerage for the two premises will be the same;
ventilation system. Properly organized ventilation system will extend the life of the building, because the bath is a building with high humidity, which means - is subject to faster destruction;
waterproofing. It is worth taking care that the room dries thoroughly.

Various options for baths with a house: extensions and rooms inside the building.

Projects of country and residential buildings from scratch

If you are lucky enough to be the owner of a spacious private plot within the city, then the bathhouse can be combined with a residential building. However, most people have private plots only in the countryside or even combine a bathhouse with a summer cottage. Therefore, we will consider the most popular turnkey projects of country and residential buildings with a bathhouse under one roof. Projects include both one-story and two-story buildings with an attic.

Advantages of a ready-made bath-house project (during the initial construction of the building):

Saving time. For development individual project you will have to spend many times more time than choosing a ready-made one. Although even in the finished project, you will have to calculate the foundation and the thickness of the walls, separately consider the summing up of engineering networks.
Budget savings. The price of the finished project will be lower than the cost of its development individually.

Turnkey construction of a house includes design, construction and commissioning. The development of the design of the premises must be dealt with separately.

Option 1

In the first version, a rustic-style house made of logs is presented.

Bath-extension to the house: features

As we mentioned earlier, adding a bathhouse to a finished building is a fairly popular solution. But it is important to know about some of the nuances.

If you have doubts about the legality of such a decision, you can safely discard them. The extension of the bath to the dwelling is absolutely legal, subject to all building and sanitary norms and rules.

Addition of a bathhouse to a residential building.

Types of connection to the house:

Through the vestibule in the bath, you can conduct wiring, heating pipes, plumbing, sewerage.

There is a small opening between the main building and the bathhouse.

Material selection

When choosing a material for attached bath It is worth focusing on those that give minimal shrinkage and are easy to install. Ideally, the bath should be built from the same material as the house, otherwise as a result of different shrinkage various materials buildings can be deformed, give cracks. If the building is old, the bath can be built from the following materials:

Logs. Significant advantages of timber are aesthetics, environmental friendliness, low thermal conductivity compared to concrete and brick. Subject to the rules for harvesting wood and with proper care after construction, it will serve more than one generation. For the construction of a bath, pine is most often chosen (it differs in a small number of knots and a straight trunk) and larch (more resistant to rot, but more expensive).
Bar. It has the same characteristics as a log, but is cheaper. It is impossible to say which of the two materials is better, because the choice between them depends on individual preferences and the wallet.

Important! Wooden baths from timber and logs must be impregnated with a special fire retardant composition.

Brick. Fireproof, durable, environmentally friendly material. However, it has significant drawbacks: high thermal conductivity and hygroscopicity. For heating brick bath it will take much more time compared to a wooden building. You will also need to make high-quality steam and heat insulation, otherwise the walls will dampen and deteriorate.
Foam block. Inexpensive, lightweight material with excellent frost resistance and thermal insulation. It is also characterized by strength, ease of installation, minimal shrinkage. A significant drawback is low moisture insulation, therefore, to protect the walls, you will have to use high-quality waterproofing material.

The foundation should ideally be the same as that of the main building. Lightweight would be the best solution. strip foundation. For facing the building, you can purchase clapboard, siding, block house or materials that imitate timber.

Fire Safety Rules

The bath is considered to be an object of increased fire hazard, therefore, when building it under the same roof as the house, the following rules should be observed:

rules fire safety for a bath.

Wooden surfaces must be impregnated with fire-resistant impregnations and compositions, since wood ignites not only directly under the direct influence of fire, but also during pyrolysis.

Important! Impregnation should be renewed every two years.

If the bath is located in the basement or basement, there should be two ventilation systems: natural and forced.
Doors and windows must open outwards.
When installing wood and electric ovens it is necessary to observe a distance to surfaces of 20-25 cm.

Thus, we examined the projects of houses with a bathhouse under one roof (from foam blocks, timber, bricks). A bathhouse and a residential building are often combined for economic reasons, as well as for comfort. Although for many, this relationship is still a novelty. However, the steam room and living area under one roof is convenient, practical and modern!

Would you like to make a bath in the house? Be ready to fulfill serious requirements and non-standard environment, as the options for connecting such a room with a living room are quite unusual. True, for the pleasure of going to the bathhouse in the shortest way, you will have to “pay” by observing the special rules for the operation of the building.

The nuances of designing a house with a bath

A house with a bath can appear in one of two ways: even at the stage of designing a residential building or after its construction as an extension from either side. Most often the second happens.

Usually a bath appears after the construction of a residential building.

To combine a house with a bath, you will have to take certain measures:

Options for combining a house with a bath

The dilemma “how to connect a bathhouse with a house” is solved in the most interesting ways, among which the use of a veranda, the restructuring of the first floor, the arrangement of a gazebo and the organization of a pool take pride of place.

Bath with a veranda under one roof

Dreams of a separate entrance to the bathhouse, made inside the house, are destined to come true if the transition between the two rooms is arranged in the form of a closed and glazed veranda. Winter, with this approach to business, can never spoil the mood of lovers of bath procedures.

The project "bath plus veranda" is quite complex and requires large financial investments. It involves the purchase and installation of high-quality double-glazed windows, wall protection heat-insulating material, laying non-slip tiles on the floor and the use of heating equipment.

A sauna with a glazed veranda is a real find for those who do not want to return home from the sauna across the street, where it can be cold

A bath with a veranda can be arranged so that one exit from it leads to the house, and the other leads directly to the street. This option is especially attractive for those who like to cool the body warmed up in the steam room in a snowdrift or just refresh in cool air.

By combining the bath with the veranda, it will be possible to save on construction, since only three walls will need to be erected for the bath room. But the biggest plus of such a project is the convenient location of the bath, as if at some distance from home, which guarantees complete silence and tranquility for those who like to bathe.

The bathhouse, separated from the house by a veranda, will give lovers of the steam room precious peace

Bath and house together

You can connect a bath with a house in three forms:

Those interested in placing a bath on the ground floor of the house may like the layout, which frees them from the need to create a separate rest room and restroom. With this arrangement of rooms, it will be possible to organize a steam room and a dressing room with a shower room, as well as become the owner of a terrace, ideal for spending time outdoors.

A bath in the house can be made next to the kitchen and bathroom

Another winning option for planning a house with a sauna inside implies the absence of a terrace and the presence of a pool of 15 m². Such a two-story building is deprived of a rest room, but it provides for a spacious dining room and living room.

The described building can be called special, because the second floor of the attic type is not located above the bath room. Such a delimitation of rooms and baths significantly reduces the cost of creating steam, hydro and thermal barriers for floors between floors.

On the ground floor of the house you can place both a bath and a pool.

Combining a bath with a gazebo

You can connect the bath with a gazebo, which is considered a very original solution, with the help of an intermediate link - a gazebo. With this room, the owners of the sauna inside the house will protect themselves from the winter cold and will be able to enjoy increased comfort.

It is better to make a single whole out of three buildings after discussing this issue with the architect, since the gazebo, house and bath are not at all similar to each other in terms of design complexity and purpose.

The gazebo can serve as a transition from the bath to the house

In order for the gazebo in the complex with the bathhouse and the house to be convenient and comfortable, you should take into account some tips:

the best option for a gazebo combined with a bathhouse is a closed or even glazed room with huge windows for unobstructed penetration of natural light;
the floors in the gazebo between the house and the bath should be wooden, not tiled or stone, exuding cold and sliding underfoot;
heating, water supply and electricity for houses and baths, in order to save resources, it is desirable to combine gazebos with communications, which will only benefit from this, becoming warm;
the ventilation of the gazebo, standing close to the bath, must be thought out to the smallest detail, otherwise moisture will accumulate in it.

Most suitable for combining with the house are a gazebo and a bathhouse connected to each other by a wall and a pitched roof.

The house in a complex with a bathhouse and a gazebo looks like something exotic

Sauna with swimming pool under one roof

Owning a bathhouse combined with a swimming pool would be desirable for everyone who has people constantly visiting.

In a room with a steam room, you can safely create both a stationary and a mobile pool. For the construction of the first one, it will be necessary to dig a pit of considerable depth, lay it in the ground sewer pipes and install filters for water purification, and for the appearance of the second one you don’t have to do anything grandiose.

A house with a sauna and a swimming pool is a very real object.

Any platform in the bath can become a place for a pool. But experts strongly advise equipping a bathhouse with an artificial reservoir in a two-story building. Moreover, on the first tier of the house, they recommend creating a steam room and a swimming pool, and on the second - a spacious rest room.

Combining a bath with a pool, it must be borne in mind that nothing good will come of it without good waterproofing. By allowing moisture to penetrate to the top floor, the owner of the house will quickly face a serious problem - the appearance of a fungus on the floors.

It is important that the house with a sauna and a swimming pool is well waterproofed.

In the project of a bath with a pool, there must be a staircase to the second floor - compact, spiral or wide classic. The form does not really matter, it is only important that this object be wooden.

It is advisable to put the stairs only inside the building. There is absolutely no need to be outside this object, because in winter, climbing it after a steam room or swimming in a pool, a person runs the risk of catching a cold.

Inside the house with a bathhouse and a swimming pool, it does not interfere with making a shower room

The bathhouse in which the pool is built may well be equipped with a shower room, a room for firewood or other fuel, as well as a pantry. It is better to make a shower room closer to the pool, and this is quite logical: after swimming in chlorinated water, the body is supposed to be rinsed.

Features of the roof of the house with a bath

By closing the house and the bath with one roof, the owner of the buildings gets a great advantage - the opportunity to save on building materials.

With a combined construction, the roof simply must be solid. Otherwise, the building will quickly lose its solidity.

over two buildings for various purposes it is reasonable to build one roof of two or four slopes, since it will never fail in terms of protection complex design from precipitation.

The gable roof over the bathhouse and the house combines different buildings into a single ensemble

In the case of the appearance of a bathhouse as an extension to a residential building, the choice is made between a shed and a gable roof. When a decision is made in favor of a roof with one slope, its highest part is placed almost close to the wall of the house and led under the roof of the house.

Before the construction of the roof frame, common to the bath and the house, it is determined whether there is a need for an attic or an attic. If you can’t do without a room right under the roof, then they start building it right there, and not after the construction of the entire truss system. Acting in this direction, carefully calculate the height of the roof over both the bath and the house.

During the construction of the roof frame, which simultaneously covers several buildings, two holes are prudently left: one for the chimney of the house, and the other for the chimney of the bathhouse.

A house with a sauna cannot have less than two chimneys

Any material is ready to serve as a finishing coating for a roof common to a bathhouse and a house. However, according to people with experience in this matter, it is cheaper and easier to create a roof deck from galvanized sheets or metal tiles.

A bath inside the house, unlike a building that stands separately, does not need large funds for maintenance. There is a simple explanation for this: a bathhouse in a complex with a residential building does not suffer from a sharp change in heat to cold and vice versa.

However, finding a bath inside the house is fraught with a serious threat - the walls of the building run the risk of becoming covered with fungus due to strong air humidification. Along with this, an unpleasant smell can also appear in the house. To save the building from such a "disease" is possible only by airing the bath after each use.

By opening a window or door in the bathhouse after all procedures, it will be possible to avoid big problems with the life of a residential building

More terrible than spoiled air and dampness can only be poisoning the inhabitants of the house with carbon monoxide. Therefore, in a bath combined with a house, it is required to create a good forced or natural ventilation. The latter may be a hole for air flow above or below the furnace. A hole that draws out the spent oxygen is made under the shelf.

The place for the exhaust opening or device is usually found as low as possible relative to the heating structure. Otherwise, the bath will lose the hot air that accumulates at the top of the room.

The hood in the bath is created under the shelf, next to the floor

If it is impossible to equip the steam room with an exhaust hood, then you can find it good replacement- a gap of 10-15 cm wide left between the door and the floor, or a small window at the bottom of the room, which will open if necessary.

The bath, created on the basement floor, is usually equipped with a forced ventilation system.

To help the bath get rid of moisture in an accelerated mode, it does not interfere with making a drying hole above the door on the ceiling. It must be in the closed state during the heating of the bath and the adoption of water procedures.

The drying hole in the bath inside the house quickly removes moisture from the room

The bath, which found a place inside the house, can do without special protection of the walls from the cold. The material that retains heat is laid indoors, taking into account the rules for arranging a steam room.

The house connected with the bathhouse is heated in the usual way. At the same time, the steam room does not need to be specially heated in winter, because it is reliably insured against freezing.

The bath, melted right in the house, is supposed to be closely monitored, since it is considered an extremely fire hazardous object.

You can find the meaning of combining a bathhouse with a house, although this seems like a strange decision. Having taken a step towards originality, that is, having built a steam room inside the building, it is really possible to paint ordinary weekdays or weekends in bright colors.

Many of our clients are interested in where the definition of "Guest house" or "house-bath made of logs" came from. The answer is simple - these options make it possible to bring together a bathhouse and a wooden residential building during the construction process. This type of housing is economical and at the same time very convenient. Eliminates the need to run through the most likely cold street after taking a bath. Bath procedures can be conveniently combined with a stay in guest house, where everything is provided for the most comfortable spending time.

The guest house often serves as a place for active recreation of the owners: table tennis, billiards, a variety of exercise equipment - all this is perfectly placed here, freeing the owners from the need to build additional premises in the main house and install soundproofing. The terrace can be used as a barbecue area. A good addition to this building will serve as an attached winter Garden or pool.

If there are adult children in the family, they will certainly take the opportunity to invite their noisy friends to relax, who, if there is a guest house, will not interfere with you at all, and at the same time will be under your control. Accordingly, you will always have the opportunity to receive a large number of guests or relatives without a headache about where to place them.

IN Lately owners of suburban land plots in Moscow are increasingly moving away from the traditional scheme of building houses and baths from concrete, giving preference to natural wooden building materials. After all, it is wooden houses that make it possible to most fully feel their closeness to nature.

The main advantage of the building country house for guests or baths is that wood is a living material, with its own energy. People living in wooden houses, have much better health, peace of mind and a charge of vital optimism.

The second important advantage of using wood as a building material is the savings factor. When erecting a wooden structure, there is no need for a heavy and expensive foundation; the process of finishing the walls will also not affect your financial capabilities. Under equal conditions, construction will cost you ~ 1.5 times cheaper than brick or concrete. Well, the undoubted advantage of a wooden house is its aesthetically beautiful appearance. Log buildings have extraordinary beauty and are in perfect harmony with stone houses. Warm, beautiful, cozy and durable - such a house will forever remain a favorite vacation spot for you and your family.

Most often, a small guest house or bathhouse is built on an already built-up site, taking into account the buildings present on it. Therefore, special attention should be paid to its placement. Since a wooden building has increased level fire hazard, the best option its construction will be at a distance of at least 10. from the nearest neighboring building. The bath should be located so that in the winter months its entrance is not covered with snow.

Our specialists will listen and take into account all your individual wishes, and engineers will first carefully examine the proposed building area, prepare project documentation, after which it will be possible to proceed directly to the construction process.

Features of the guest bath house

The classic version of the Russian bath is a structure made of logs or, which is insulated with linen or jute felt. Alternatively, you can apply the method. This method is the most economical and has a wide variety interior decoration, and the appearance of the room can be made in a variety of ways. architectural style. Under construction log cabin we use only the most quality material northern species of coniferous forest: pine, larch, spruce. in the best way connecting logs for a bath is considered a cutting "in the oblo". Thus, the log house is given maximum stability and heat saving.

The bath house combines 2 functions at once - a wooden steam room and a classic country home. Its main advantages are ergonomics, durability and aesthetics.

Anyone wishing to build a country house with a bathhouse under one roof, projects should be carefully studied.

Harmonious structure

There are 2 options for the construction of such buildings:

initial construction of the complex;
extension of a steam room to an already built dwelling.

Bath on the attic floor

Choosing option 2, you need to pay special attention:

ventilation;
waterproofing (the dwelling should be well dried and ventilated);
the construction of an extension (for this purpose, the use of a kitchen wall is recommended).

Note! If a single complex is being built, then communications should also be unified.

4 types of combination

Combining a steam room with housing can have the following options:

the location of the bath in the basement;
combination with a bathroom;
bathhouse on the roof;
bathroom extension to the dwelling.

The last option is not the most popular and successful. It requires additional communications.

Attach to the bath

Main stages of work

After selecting a project, you must:

Inspect the area carefully.
Make the necessary measurements.
Carry out all calculations.
Bring the project to life.

The construction steps look like this:

Foundation laying.
Walling.
Roof erection.
Screed filling.
Interior decoration.

Foundation laying

The reliability and longevity of the home depends on the foundation. In the place where the extension is planned, the foundation of the dwelling is opened. At this level, a new foundation is being laid.

The best option for the foundation for a 1-storey wooden house is a monolithic tape. Its depth is 0.5 m. The width is 300 mm.

Interior decoration of the bath

For a brick and block house, a full-fledged foundation is created that can withstand a heavy load.

Important! The foundation of the dwelling and the bath is laid separately.

The base parameters depend on:

wall structures;
bearing load;
type of building materials.

The stages of building the foundation look like this:

Determine the location of the bath.
Drive pegs around the perimeter.
Using the pegs as a guide, string the construction twine.
Set aside the width of the foundation.
Install a dash.
Stretch 2 lines of twine.
Check the diagonals and the accuracy of right angles (it is desirable to use a range finder and a laser level).
Dig a trench according to the markings. If a central sewerage system is installed in the house, then it is necessary to carry out a trench to the nearest tie-in into the tube. Otherwise, it is carried out drain pit, which is arranged separately from the dwelling.
If the soil is sandy, install temporary formwork. It helps to prevent shedding of the walls to the bottom. Internal walls formwork is laid with roofing felt or film.
Mount a pipe in a trench under communications, fill it with sand and soil. The trench under the base is covered with sand (coarse-grained) and crushed stone (2/3). Then you need to moisten the backfill with water and compact well.
Lay the connected bars of reinforcement in the trenches, fix the frame with clamps made of plastic.
Pour concrete, level, dry. Carry out waterproofing with roofing felt or bituminous mastic.

It is desirable to lay the foundation in summer or early autumn. It should dry well and settle for 3 weeks.

In winter, screw piles are used to build the foundation.

Wall construction features

The principle of their construction depends on the type of building material used. If applicable wooden beam, you need to properly "seat" it.

If the house is built of brick, the walls can be either brick or made of foam blocks. The cost of the second option is much lower.

If the steam room is attached to the dwelling, it is necessary to remember the correct docking. The use of a bundle of reinforcing bars is recommended. Docking with their help is done like this:

Drill holes in the walls for the pieces of reinforcement.
Drive the rods in such a way that their opposite end enters the masonry of the extension walls.

The walls of the bath should rise 1-2 bricks below the height of the walls of the house.

The wrong approach to docking can lead to the fact that the steam room "departs" from the home. It will look ugly, and there will also be many problems.

Bath with a veranda

Features of the construction of the roof

The main requirement for the roof when combining a living space with a bath is integrity.

Failure to meet this criterion can lead to the destruction of the entire structure.

The roof should be two or four slopes. Before its construction, it is necessary to determine whether the structure requires an attic or an attic. If required, then first you need to build this particular part of the house.

The optimal material for the roof is asbestos-cement slate. You can also use a metal tile or a galvanized profile. For these materials, you will need a conventional frame with logs made of wood.

When building a roof, you must:

calculate its height;
design a system of chimneys and hoods;
design a system of ebbs and snow holders. She hangs up right away.

The number of chimneys - 2: for the house and the steam room.

The highest point of the roof should be adjacent to the wall of the dwelling and go under the main roof. When installing ceiling ceilings, a beam is used. Its parameters are 10/10 cm. You can also use a board laid on edge. Its width should be the same.

Lathing is carried out from the lower and upper parts of the beams. It contains thermal insulation and vapor barrier. The angle of inclination during the installation of the roof rafters should be 20%.

All gaps and gaps formed in the place where the slate adjoins the wall of the dwelling must be sealed with mounting foam.

Panoramic steam room

Insulation of the building and interior work

Used for insulation mineral wool. The advantages of this material include:

resistance to fire;
ease of installation;
environmental friendliness;
democratic price;
no interaction with high humidity.

In order to reduce heat loss, mineral wool is used to protect walls both inside and outside.

TO additional materials used for wall decoration is wood - oak or pine.

The floor in the room is equipped by pouring the screed. In this case, it is necessary to observe the slope in the direction of the drain pipe of the steam room.

The drain pipe is located in the central part of the room. It must have a conclusion cesspool. If the soil is sandy, the pit should be located directly under the steam room. Dimensions - 600/600/600 mm. If the soil is clayey, then the outlet should be mounted away from the bath. Otherwise, the water will not absorb well.

At the same stage, the installation of the drain ladder takes place.

Bath from a bar

In those places where the floor is connected to the walls of the future steam room, it is necessary to make a thorough waterproofing. The recommended method is shielding with bitumen. You can also make a gasket of any waterproofing material.

For additional insulation, you can use foam or expanded clay.

The final stage is the installation of the equipment necessary for the operation of the steam room:

wiring to sockets;
special furniture;
wiring for lighting fixtures;
ovens.

If the steam room is an extension to the dwelling

During construction, it is necessary to adhere to the following recommendations:

In the extension project, you need to indicate the materials that will be used in the construction, describe the transition from the house to the steam room and clarify the layout inside the bath.
The main requirement for the foundation is lightness. It must be the same type as under the living quarters.
Doorways are low, their threshold is high. This will help to keep the heat in the steam room better. The main door should lead to the vestibule.
The waterproofing of the walls inside the steam room is carried out using vapor-reflecting foil. From above, the walls must be sheathed with lime clapboard. It can be replaced by any other material of suitable quality.
The pipe is insulated. It needs to be brought out in the opposite direction from the housing wall. Otherwise, when burning, smoke will penetrate into the dwelling.
Conducting communications - directly from home. Pipes and electrical wiring are carried out through a common wall, or through the foundation under the steam room. Wiring in the bath is carried out by any convenient way. It is advisable to conduct water separately. You can also make a well on the site.

Important! The tambour should be through. So the risk of heat loss is reduced by 80%.

If the vestibule is separate, then you need to make additional insulation. There are benches and a clothes hanger in this room.

Country house and bath

Log cabin + sauna - comfort and aesthetics

The frame set varies. In 90% of cases, this is a completely finished building.

The best option is to buy a dwelling project with a steam room made of timber.

Small steam room inside the house

Guest house-bath

SIP panels;
brick;
beam;
foam concrete blocks;
log;
aerated concrete blocks.

The layout in such a house can be any. On the 2nd floor guests are usually accommodated, on the 1st - a living room, a hall and a bath complex. If land plot large, then the building can only be one-story.

Ideally, the residential part of the guest house-bath accounts for up to 60% of the building. About 40% of the room goes to the steam room.

Country-style foam block bath

Benefits of a bath house

The main advantages of building a house-bath:

comfort;
minimum cash costs (the presence of a bath allows the arrangement of a rest room);
saving space (relevant for owners small area, which does not imply the presence of additional extensions);
no additional costs for the maintenance and service of the steam room (a separate sauna house wears out very quickly. This is due to extreme internal temperature fluctuations).

Additionally, a bathhouse “built-in” into the house can be used as a dryer.

Conclusion

The main drawback is the need to comply with fire safety recommendations. Particularly stringent requirements are imposed on wooden structures.

If the engineering and technical standards are not met, the humidity inside the room increases. This leads to the appearance of fungus and mold. Against this background, structures, engineering networks and finishing materials are deformed.

According to insurance companies, combining a house with a bath is life-threatening. The conditions of the insurance policy become very tough.
