Sauna in the house, eight arguments "against"

Why no one has ever built to do a Russian bath and even a dry Finnish sauna

Make bath in the house or not? This discussion wording FORUMHOUSE escalated into a heated argument, we began to understand, and, of course, went to see the views in our forum. Most of our members of the forum said that the bath in the house - it's a whim, for that too would have to pay dearly.

1. Sauna in the house - this is the increased fire hazard

Even free-standing bath - it is always the object of increased fire danger. Building a bath, we are always very careful, trying to comply with all the letters of fire safety rules and operation of the bath, too, but it does not always help. Even on our forum, where awareness and responsible attitude towards their life in humans is several orders higher than the "average hospital" no, no, yes, and there are questions such as:

I burned yesterday bath, of course, it was very hot check point heated to 120 gr., And to cool it last bathers intensively poured water on the stove. I saw flame after 2.5 hours, caught fire, apparently from the tube to the ceiling. In short, I was left without a bath, good neighbors do, put out all the time.

Now let's imagine that it would not stand this room, away from home but right in it.

Always leads other arguments "against", and now add another: if burned, one bath, and not the whole house!

I think a fire hazard, and even a wooden house, must outweigh all the advantages of built-in baths. And by walking out of the bath in the house we get only a pleasure, and in the winter, too.

2. Sauna in the house - a glaring contradiction sanitary standards

Construction bath is regulated by several documents. Fire regulations and the distance specified in SP 4.13130.2013, and there is much depends on the material, although it is clear that the farther room, located on the home, the safer.

Sanitary standards are recorded in SP 53.13330.2011 (SNIP 2/30/97), and it is clearly stated:

between the room and the house should be a minimum distance of eight meters.

SNIP of 1934 - a bath in the far corner of the yard.

3. Sauna in the house - the constant risk of excess moisture

Good architects are always trying to dissuade developers from dubious and, without speaking equivocation, very hemorrhoidal solutions "bath house" is also due to the emerging architectural restrictions. All you need to design, calculate and construct so as to avoid excessive moisture, or - meet the condensate even in a residential area.

It is the eternal struggle with steam and mold! Bath - Separate unit always!

Built-in Bath several times increases the risk of wet insulation in the walls and in the roof. And this is a very expensive risk, because by doing vapor barrier need to make a very off-budget test for air permeability (blower door), and not only in the bath and around the house.

Vlower door test? In our region, worth 300-350 euros a time.

4. Built-in bath increases the requirements for ventilation in the house

If the desire to build a sauna in the house, you have to be prepared for the fact that, for the living and the bathing area required separate ventilation system (in each zone - a microclimate), but the work they will have to concert. Obviously, this is too difficult, and also quite expensive.

There is still such a moment, as the need for multiple launch ventilation through the door and the window: the steam from the steam room must be somewhere to go, and certainly not in the house. That is, this question would require a separate decision.

5. Bath house complicates engineering solutions

Russian bath - a complex engineering structure, before the ventilation system is to face a number of challenges:

• it delivers to the furnace combustion air;
• it directs the heated air along the ceiling of the furnace to the shelf;
• it directs fresh air breathing paruemyh;
• it removes the exhaust air from the steam room;
• it performs volley airing;
• it dries the steam room after using it.

Perform all these engineering requirements in the internal bath is much more difficult (and expensive!) Than a free-standing.

6. Sauna in the house less comfortable than freestanding

This item is practically eliminates the only significant "plus" built-in baths. Well, no need to go into the house with a wet head in the cold, and for some it's probably worth it; but how many are there unpleasant "but"!

• «But» №1: free standing bath room is always comfortable. There may be provided a spacious relaxation room, a steam room a comfortable, pleasant nook for storing firewood.
• «But» №2: free standing bath room is always kept private. Less risk that get caught in the eyes of the guests and members of the household, when you jump out of steam in the snow or in the font.
• «But» №3: In a free-standing bath, we will not interfere!

I bath begins hours of 6 pm and lasts until one or two nights (guests). And this is the inevitable noise. And again, after the steam room where to go sit and drink tea.

7. The quality of the built-in bath is always worse than a free-standing

Combined object "bath house +" difficult to do efficiently, in compliance with all requirements than the two separate objects. Like it or not, to fulfill all the requirements (and the true lovers of a bath they are always a lot) in the internal bath is impossible. Any connoisseur will tell you that the room in the house is not only dangerous, but also serious.

Bath should stand alone, in a pleasant location on the edge of the area next to the pond, or man-made pond - everything else Chinese fake.

In the end, not that we moved out of town to be satisfied with half-measures.

8. Built a Finnish sauna was not invented by the good life

And, as they say Forumhouse participants, is not new to this life, "when prosperous circumstances, and for themselves do not need to."

As far as I know, "dry sauna" was invented by the Finns in the middle of the last century only by poverty, war and after the war. Including because dry sauna easier to build in the town house without waterproofing. Then, for the same reason, the idea picked up by traders in the perestroika Russia. When affluent circumstances, and it is not necessary to do for themselves.

"Native" the Finnish sauna is not dry. It is just enough wet, with brooms and a bucket on a constant supply of the heater. Of course, in Russian bath ratio moisture / higher temperature, but in an authentic Finnish sauna "Water also goes liters."

conclusions

Let's be objective: Built-in Bath has its advantages. We go over them briefly:

• it saves land area and does not clutter it, which is especially important if a small portion;
• If a stone house, built in Bath did not cause him such damages constant humidity as wood. And it is not so dangerous from the point of view of the possible risk of fire;
• According to approximate estimates, sauna in the house will still be a half times cheaper than a separate entity;
• permitting power and host views on life, in the bath, you can not put a wood-burning stove and electric. With this oven will have to solve a lot less constructive tasks. And if the homeowner is lazy sybarite, he would like to sink your bath one-touch smartphone on the way from the city to the house.

But none of these items individually, or all together do not change the fact that the Russian bath is built:

• self-indulgence;
• technically complex self-indulgence;
• expensive indulgence;
• very dangerous self-indulgence;
• not very convenient indulgence.

A person who understands the meaning and benefit of Russian bath, appreciate the magic of the impact of the fine steam and just loves how to wave a broom in the sauna after a long and busy day, inevitably give up the idea to build a sauna in the house. Such examples on FORUMHOUSE too.

I originally built the two-story house with a bathhouse. But after 1.5 years I decided to remove the stove and to build a sauna separately on the site. And in the existing chimney smoke from the forest fire.

On FORUMHOUSE you can read an article about how to calculate the size and make a plan real Russian baths, meet to types of baths and their performance, learn how to warm bath inside. We strongly recommend an incredibly fascinating branch of our forum "Physics of Russian baths. Steam Room"Where the guru bath business in Russia and abroad, the best modern bathhouse conduct their highbrow and at the same time emotional debates.
