How I built an inexpensive frame bathhouse with my own hands: project, solutions and photo review

The necessity forced me to start building a new bathhouse - the old one, with a homemade stove from time to time, ordered me to live a long time. The budget was limited, so the frame bath option was chosen.

Foundation

As a foundation, concrete bailiffs from electric poles 320 cm long, laid on a sand cushion, remained from the old bathhouse. A mistake made during the previous construction, when the bailiffs were laid in the form of a strip foundation, was also fixed. This excluded normal ventilation of the underground. This time, I decided to place the bailiffs in parallel to ensure normal ventilation under the bath, and insulate the floors.

Bake

With the furnace, the issue was resolved even before the development of the project. There was little choice in the nearest stores, the budget was limited, so a Feringer-Sukhovey PS-1 oven was purchased. It suited the volume of the steam room without much stock, but since the bath is used only in the summer cottage, it suited me perfectly. Moreover, the pensioner has nowhere to hurry, you can sink a little longer.

Roof

Taking into account the experience of operating the old bathhouse, it was decided to make the roof pitched. This made it possible to raise the height in the steam room, taking into account all the insulation up to 2.3 meters - a sauna by a sauna, but I also wanted to work with a broom. The option was chosen with sloped ceilings in all rooms, with solid ceiling beams 150 * 50 * 5000 and one and a half meter slopes from the same board. The meter overhang behind the bathhouse made it possible to organize a place for storing firewood there.

Floor

Subfloors made of boards left over from the old bathhouse, scraps of 10 mm plywood and OSB with drilled holes for ventilation were laid on the ledges on the sides of the main beam. A non-woven material was laid on top, 10 cm layer min. insulation and a vapor barrier layer on which the floor boards are laid. The entire resulting insulated shield is ventilated from below through the subfloor. All boards and beams of the shield are impregnated with bio-protection.

Frame

The racks of the frame are made of planks loose along the boards with the subsequent connection of the resulting board 100 * 50 with a bar 45 * 50. The board made it possible to make cutouts in it for better fastening and support of the roof beams, and the bar brought the wall thickness to the planned 100 mm.

The resulting frame is sheathed from the inside with a layer of steam and wind insulation, and then with OSB plates, which rigidly tied the frame. The outside walls are insulated in two layers of 50 mm mineral mats, sheathed with a layer of non-woven fabric and finished with plastic siding.

Layout

The steam room was the central place in the layout of the bath, so all efforts were thrown at it. The floors in the steam room are usually the most loaded element, both in terms of load and moisture, so special attention has been paid to them.

The distance between the floor beams in the area of the furnace was made minimal at the design stage. The floorboards in the steam room, in contrast to the KO, were short so that, if necessary, they could be changed without disassembling the entire bath. 10 mm plywood is laid on top, which distributes the load, levels the surface, and at the same time provides a slight slope towards the drain hole.

Based on the experience of the previous bathhouse, in which the temperature did not rise above 30-35 degrees, it was decided use as a coating and waterproofing linoleum with a thick polyethylene under it film. It was a little embarrassing that the water makes it slippery. But judging that there is nowhere to fall in the steam room, and wooden ladders on the floor can solve this problem, I settled on this option.

Warming

Initially, a pie made of OSB, 100 mm mineral wool, OSB and clapboard on foil was planned, but the boards were bought with a margin, so instead of the inner OSB layer, it was decided to use a 50 mm board (almost timber). This somewhat reduced the internal dimensions of the steam room, but made it possible to reduce heat loss and more reliably fix the ceiling frame.

It was also decided to insulate the ceiling additionally. For this, 50 mm beams were nailed to the ceiling beams and boards were already on them, on which a 150 mm layer of insulation was subsequently laid, covered with a non-woven fabric on top to ventilate the cake. From the inside, the resulting box was sheathed with foil and after 20 mm slats sheathed with clapboard - coniferous walls "A", ceiling aspen.

Steam room

The most difficult thing was to correctly install the stove in the steam room - the fire safety standards were such that it was just right to place it in the middle of the steam room. The question arose of what is better to do, a brick wall towards the vestibule and KO, or to stop at the old version of bare metal with insulation, tested over the years in the previous bathhouse.

The budget calculation inclined to the second option - it is not so expensive, there is already a lot, and the load on the wooden floors already loaded with the stove will be less. The result is a reliable pie of the walls near the oven, consisting of met. a frame assembled from a profile used for drywall and a galvanized sheet towards the vestibule, mineral board and gypsum in the vestibule.

In the KO, from where the stove is fired, the firebox is brought out through a sheet of minerite, a mineral plate and drywall, with basalt cardboard lining. The stove stands on a thick flat slate, under which is placed basalt cardboard, on top of the slate are two sheets of thick paronite and a sheet of galvanized iron.

Washing department

Since in addition to "sitting - getting warm" in the steam room they also like to wash, the question arose of how to make sure that there was enough space for everyone to wash, and to sit and lie down. As a result, such a structure was born: the upper shelf 80 cm wide from the side of the oven and 70 cm from the side of the hood at a height of 110 cm from the floor; perpendicular to it, the second shelf 55 cm wide at a height of 65 cm; the third shelf is 40 cm wide on the side of the stove 45 cm under the second shelf at a height of 50 cm. Taking into account the 10 cm ladder on the floor, it is quite convenient to climb onto all the shelves.

Hot water supply from an electric boiler, which hangs right there in the changing room. Draining the steam room and shower into a homemade septic tank behind the bath. The water in the bath is from the centralized water supply, which works during the warm season. Hot water in the steam room from a 40-liter register on the stove.
