Construction of country houses with a bath. House-bath: examples of projects

If you live in country house, then organizing your own bathhouse for health and pleasure is easy for you. It's not limited opportunities city apartment, where you have to be content with a bath or shower.

Moreover, if until recently a residential building and a bathhouse were supposed to be separate buildings, today you can afford a house with a built-in bathhouse or sauna. Good, modern materials and technology makes it possible. Of course, you can choose the classic version and build a separate bath on personal plot. But let's try to understand the benefits of a built-in bath.

Benefits of a home with a bath or sauna

The first benefit is the ability to save money. If you do not need to separately lay the foundation, build walls and a roof, then the gain is obvious. Add here more common with engineering networks. In total, the score is 2:0 - in favor of the built-in bathhouse.

And, besides, by implementing such a project, you will save space for a garden or playground. Agree, for those who own small plots of land, this is a very significant plus. Well, does it count? Then, 3:0.

The last benefit concerns ease of use. If you are not a walrus, then you are unlikely to enjoy running through the entire yard from the bathhouse to the house in the cold or in the rain. And if there are elderly people or children in the family, then this is not only a matter of your personal comfort, but also care for family members. Another "pro" in favor of this option.

Let's sum up - 4:0 in favor of the project of the house with the built-in bath.

Bath location

It does not matter on which floor the bath or sauna will be located. The main thing is to be closer to the bathroom and the bathroom. This greatly simplifies the laying of engineering networks. And, therefore, it saves on installation and materials.

As a rule, a classic mini-bath consists of a steam room, a changing room and a shower room. But, taking into account the individual wishes of the customer, it can be supplemented with a bathroom, a rest room and a bathroom. But then it will already be more like a bath plant.

Features of the implementation of the project at home with a bath

When choosing a house project with a bath, you need to pay serious attention to the laying of engineering networks. Our company offers projects where the following standards are strictly observed:

For high-quality waterproofing of the floor, it must be remembered that first several layers of special insulation, insulation, and tiles are laid on top.
thermal insulation . The steam room should be sheathed with wood. If for wooden houses this goes without saying, then in houses made of aerated concrete or brick, this, although additional, is not necessary condition: wood holds heat well and protects from heat. Moreover, for cladding, you need to use high-quality wood to avoid the appearance of fungus. But you should not forget about the special insulation of walls and ceilings either.
Ventilation should provide high-quality heating of the steam room, while removing excess moisture and preventing the formation of condensate. Therefore, it is worth taking care to select equipment capable of changing the air in the room at least 6 times per hour.

One more important point which must be taken into account is fire safety.

First, everything wooden details must be treated with special flame retardant impregnations.

Combining a bathhouse and a house under one roof is now a popular way of organizing life in a country life. Combining two functions in one building solves many problems and provides certain advantages. And when there is very little space to place a bathhouse and a residential building on the site, the two-in-one building turns out to be the only possible option construction.

Advantages and disadvantages

In addition to saving space, the house-bath has other advantages:

Creates domestic comfort. To wash and return from the bath, you do not have to leave the house, outside of which it can be cold and damp. This is doubly true for people who often suffer from colds, whose condition is affected by temperature changes in the most unpleasant way, as well as when it comes to washing children. Taking them in the cold from the bathhouse to the house is not the most useful thing to do.
Building a bathhouse under the same roof with a house is financially beneficial. In this case, there is no need to create a separate rest room for the bath building, since it already exists in the house. It is no coincidence that such projects often provide for the arrangement in a single complex of only a dressing room and a steam room as elements of the washing part.

The solution to the issue of creating engineering networks is simplified, as well as the material costs for this.
The construction of a single complex is going faster.
The cost of maintaining two different buildings is reduced, especially considering that a separate bathhouse building becomes unusable faster due to large temperature fluctuations. And when it is located in a single complex with housing, the overall microclimate is quite stable.
For the same reason, it is always faster to prepare a bathhouse for work if it is combined with a house.
It is convenient to use some bath rooms inside the house for drying things, including washed clothes, which is important for any housewife.

The other side of the bath house promises certain problems:

Questions fire safety in such a structure, special attention must be paid. What matters here is the material chosen for construction, the location of the building, and so on. If the bath house is built of wood, fire safety requirements will be especially stringent.

In case of non-compliance with the relevant rules, it is impossible to obtain permission to put the house into operation, and if this issue is not taken care of, sooner or later the relevant authorities will impose a fine. In addition, electricity and gas will be turned off.

Since houses combined with baths are considered objects of increased fire danger, their insurance is more expensive than ordinary houses.
If the construction technology is violated, the bath house will suffer from high humidity, which, in turn, can lead to the appearance of fungus and the spread of mold, with all the ensuing consequences.
Large bathhouses require careful study of the heating system. Here you will need a powerful electric or gas boiler so that you can heat both parts of the building without any problems. You will have to pay a lot for the use of consumed resources.

Material selection

You can build such a house from different materials depending on the preferences of the owner and, for example, his desire to build a building with his own hands. Many people opt for wood, aerated concrete, foam concrete. But if a person who has only small skills in such a matter can build a structure from a bar, rounded logs or blocks, then it is better to attract high-level specialists for brick construction, since a violation of the work technology will be too expensive.

Also, when choosing a material, one must be guided by the financial costs that lie ahead for the implementation of the project. Obviously, the construction of wooden houses-baths will be cheaper than the construction of brick ones.

The financial side also plays an important role when choosing a roofing material. It is advantageous to use a galvanized profile, a metal tile. Under their laying, it will be necessary to organize an ordinary frame made of wooden logs.

But fashionable for some time andulin roofs will require the work of professionals. This is justified by the spectacular and respectable appearance of the finished roof.

Design subtleties

You can combine a bath and living space different ways. If private house is built, for example, in 2 floors, the bath "share" can be allocated a place in the basement or basement. Also, a separate room or several on the ground floor are allocated for it (steam room, washing room and dressing room). Then it's just extra rooms inside the house.

Also, a bath can be built along with a bathroom, including a bathroom and a toilet.

In the event that there is already an operated residential building, it is easy to create a bathhouse as an extension. Between the two parts of the building there will be a common wall and roof. It is believed that it is best to choose a place for such an extension from the kitchen. Then it will be possible to make a common stove for the bath itself and the kitchen.

Another option is when the bath has four walls, but it is connected to the house by a passage. Thanks to this, when moving from one part of the building to another, you do not have to go out into the open air.

For cottages that are not limited in area, it is quite appropriate to create a full-fledged bath complex with a washing room, a steam room and an independent rest room.

It is not difficult to arrange a bathhouse in the house to the taste of the owner of a summer cottage or a land plot in the village. In this matter, it is easiest to rely on standard projects. Can be built single storey or two-storey house with a sauna, a garage and a terrace with a grill. There are projects that allow you to build a small modest house with a bathhouse on a small piece of land.

A good option is a two-story house, which will occupy no more than thirty square meters on the land. On the ground floor, you can place a bathhouse with a shower and a steam room, as well as a dressing room, where it is convenient to stack firewood. If the area of the house allows, on the ground floor you can allocate space for a small pool and a relaxation room, for example, with a billiards.

A billiard room can also be arranged on the second floor. As a rule, there is also a bedroom, or even several.

Even if the basis is standard project, it is better to entrust its completion to a professional architect. No matter how good the finished version is, it must be tied to the place and, possibly, adjusted to suit the wishes of the customer. It is also better to entrust the development of ventilation and sewerage systems, electricians to a specialist.

In the house-bath, water is drained through two separate pipes. If there is no main sewage system, an independent cesspool will be needed for the bath part. It is also better to use a separate pipe for plumbing in the bath. All this should be reflected in the project, taking into account the specific situation.

Having worked together with a professional architect, you can get a bath house that not only completely suits the owner in terms of functional qualities, but is also very attractive in appearance. There are a huge number of interesting exterior solutions for such buildings.

For example, the corner option looks unusual. But even a house of a traditional form can be given individuality with the help of certain architectural elements.

Construction features

Whatever construction option is chosen, in order to start it, it is necessary to prepare the site. The scale of these works will depend on what kind of soil you have to deal with, how waterlogged it is and how close to the surface are ground water. If we are talking about loam, black soil or sandstone, then here everything can come down to just a thorough mowing of grass and uprooting stumps. If the site is swampy, it is partly necessary to change the soil and ensure water drainage.

The area of the house-bath itself can be any - 6x8, 6x10 and so on, depending on the size of the site and the wishes of the owner. During the construction of a summer cottage or ordinary house combined with a bath, special attention should be paid to the construction of the foundation and sewerage.

How they will be arranged in a particular case depends on what materials the bath house is built from, what load is expected on sewer system. All this is calculated before the start of construction work. A win-win solution is the construction of a tape monolithic foundation.

For single storey wooden house-baths, for example, it is enough to have a depth of only 0.5 m and a width of 30 cm. A block or brick building creates a greater load on the base, so the foundation here should be more powerful.

The work on pouring the foundation under the house itself should be carried out in the warm season - after the completion of the process, the foundation dries for another three weeks, so the weather should be suitable. AND only after the expiration of the exposure period, you can proceed to the next stage.

If construction starts in winter, then here you can deal with screw piles, which will become the basis for the future house-bath.

If a traditional timber is chosen as the main material for its construction, it should be borne in mind that such a building gives a noticeable shrinkage. Other materials have their own characteristics. You need to ask about them in advance.

Often a bath is attached to a finished residential building. In this case, you need to take care of the competent docking of the two parts. If the construction technology is not followed, the extension will eventually “move away” from the wall of the main building, which will create many problems, starting from the fact that it will look ugly from the outside. Ideally, the bath should "grow" to the house, representing a single whole with it.

To successfully resolve this issue, often use reinforcing bars, with which they “tie” two buildings into one. Holes are made in the wall, reinforcing bars are driven into them so that they, if, for example, a brick building, are mounted into the walls of the attached bathhouse at the other end.

When creating a roof, it is necessary to carefully observe the arrangement of hoods and chimneys so that repairs do not have to be carried out after a short time. In a combined house there should be two chimneys - one for the residential part, the other for the washing room.

When it comes to the simultaneous construction of residential and bath components, the roof over the structure should initially be a solid structure. In the case of an extension, the roof from the house is “extended”. For a house-bath, a two- or four-pitched roof is suitable.

Compliance with insulation technology is important. Even with an excellent layout of the bath, it will be inconvenient to use it if it is cold in the dressing room in a dressing gown and slippers.

Warming is carried out both inside and outside, which ensures proper thermal insulation.

As for the decoration of the part of the house where the washing will take place, it is necessary to use only natural materials. It is better if it is a tree.

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 and more widespread, under the roof of which rooms of various 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 speak about interior decoration baths, 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, the walls are often finished 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.

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 who wants to build country house with a bath 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.

Successful project

Wall construction features

The principle of their construction depends on the type used building material. 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.

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.

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.

Classic option The design of the site is the construction of a house and a nearby bathhouse. But today, the popularity of house projects with a bathhouse under one roof is growing. This option is great for small areas where everyone square meter has a high value.

A house with a sauna under one roof: advantages

compactness. A house and a bath in one building will take up less space than separate structures;
saving. Of course, building one building, even if it is more complex, will be cheaper than two: less materials will be needed for construction, and one engineering network will also be enough;
reliability. The bath, due to strong temperature changes, deforms faster, if it is in the house, then the service life of the building will increase;
no need to equip a shower room and a rest room in the bath. All this can be in the house, therefore it is enough if in the bath itself, attached to the house, there are only a dressing room and a steam room;
high level of comfort. Visitors to the bath do not need to go outside to go from home to the steam room. If in summer such a walk does not cause inconvenience, then in winter and in autumn bad weather it will be less convenient to move along the street.

House combined with a bath: disadvantages

The main disadvantage is the increased requirements for fire safety. Failure to comply with them will result in the refusal of the authorities to issue a permit to commission the building.

These requirements exist for a reason, in the bath conditions of high humidity and strong temperature fluctuations, which can cause the appearance of fungus, mold, destruction of structures. For this reason, you need to carefully approach the issue of hydro, vapor barrier and.

If you plan to insure your property, please note that baths combined with houses Insurance companies are considered buildings of increased danger, and this affects the amount of insurance premiums.

Bath in the house: projects, photos

There are two options for building a bath: simultaneously with the construction of a house or as an extension to an existing building. The second option is the most popular, since the idea of \u200b\u200bbuilding a bath usually arises from those who already have a house at their disposal.

A drawing of a future building can be made independently or ordered from specialists. Bath house projects and their prices can be easily found on the Internet, and free projects are also presented on the network. It is worth making a drawing on your own only if you are confident in your abilities. Building a house combined with a bathhouse is more difficult than building a regular bathhouse, which is why it is much more difficult to draw up a project. Turning to professionals, you will save yourself from mistakes, which in the future can lead to financial and temporary losses.

When building an extension, it is necessary to ensure a high level of vapor and waterproofing.

Popular is the option of building a bathhouse with a house in which they have common wall and roof.

If you look at the projects of houses with a bathhouse inside, you can also see the option where the bathhouse is located on the ground floor, but this option is only possible with the simultaneous construction of a bathhouse and a house.

Even if the project indicates separate entrances from the street to the bathhouse and the house, it is better to provide for a transition between the rooms. This is especially true in winter period. And if you want to make your vacation even more comfortable, then pay attention to the projects of a sauna with a barbecue, in which case you can spend time outdoors in warm weather, combining steam baths with an outdoor picnic.

A veranda or gazebo can be placed between the house and the bath, in which case it will act as a corridor between the two rooms.

When developing a project, it is imperative to consider ventilation and waterproofing systems, since high humidity can destroy load-bearing structures and reduce the life of buildings. good option there will be a combination of a bath with a bathroom, a common sewer will save you from unnecessary costs.

Below are projects of bathhouses under one roof. They differ in shape, size, location of premises, etc. Combining a bath and a house is a rather complicated process, so it is better to entrust the development of a project to professionals.

A house and a bathhouse under one roof differ not only in convenience, but also in a stylish appearance. Buildings made in the same style look impressive. Below you can see a photo of the baths attached to the house:

How to attach a bath to the house? Features of building a house combined with a bath

After the completion of the project and the purchase of all materials, you can proceed to the construction of the bath, the construction process includes the following steps:

Stage 1. Territory preparation

The construction of any building begins with the preparation of the terrain. It needs to be cleaned of debris and plants, and it is advisable to carry out cleaning not only within the territory of future buildings, but also with a margin of at least one square meter on each side.

Stage 2. Construction of the foundation

The foundation is the basis of the building, so it must be done especially carefully. The type of foundation depends on the chosen material for construction. For example, if you are planning to build a one-story wooden building, then you can do strip foundation. For buildings made of brick, a more reliable foundation will be required.

For a bath and a house, you need to make a separate foundation, because elevated level moisture can cause cracking, which in turn will lead to the separation of the foundation from the general building.

At the same stage, the sewer outlet should be prepared.

And houses can be built from different materials: timber, logs, aerated concrete, bricks, etc. Each of these options has its own advantages, disadvantages and styling features.

Beam is the most popular material, it is quick and easy to build from it. It does not need additional finishing, it is light in weight and practically does not shrink.

A log bath is a more complex option, but this material is more resistant to negative influences. external environment. If the beam can crack in different places, then the logs are more often vertical, they retain heat better. Such a building will cost more, for example, the price of a 6x6 log house-bath project and its implementation is 600 thousand rubles, while a similar building made of timber will cost about 400 thousand rubles.

It is easy to build a bath from aerated concrete, the slabs have big sizes, so the construction will not take much time. The disadvantages of materials are hygroscopicity, so you have to make high-quality waterproofing, and unaesthetic appearance, so they need additional finishing.

Bricks make strong and reliable structures that can stand for decades. But building a brick bath is better if you have the skills, since this process is quite complicated.

If you are making an extension of the bath to the house, then it is important to do correct docking, otherwise a gap will appear between the bath and the house. You can provide a strong bond using reinforcement bars that need to be driven into the walls of the house and then attached to the walls of the bath.

Stage 4. Installation of the roof

The roof must be solid, otherwise the building will begin to collapse much faster. It is recommended to use a two- or four-pitched roof for a combined building, one- and two-pitched for an extension.

For each of the rooms you need to make a separate chimney, as well as immediately mount a system of ebbs.

The material for the roof can be different, today metal tiles and galvanized profiles are very popular.

Stage 5. Interior decoration

The final stage is thermal and waterproofing, interior design baths. For the design of walls and ceilings in the bath, they most often choose - natural material, which helps to create the right atmosphere in the bath, has high reliability and is quite easy to install.

In the bath, it is also necessary to install a stove, shelves, arrange a rest room (if provided), etc.
