Country bathhouse projects are very popular in Russia. This is due to the fact that many residents of our country can afford to build this structure in their country house. In addition, such a bathhouse is inexpensive and can be built independently, without involving professional builders in this process.
Choosing a country bathhouse project
There are several options for building a bathhouse at the dacha. The most common of them is a separate building. Such country baths, their photos and projects are often offered by numerous construction companies as ready-made version construction. Their advantages include simplicity of design and the possibility of their use regardless of the use of other buildings on the site.
The disadvantage of such baths is the need to allocate a rather large plot of land. In addition to the fact that the bathhouse itself will occupy some area, there are also fire safety standards that require maintaining a significant distance between the bathhouse and other buildings erected on suburban area. Moreover, separately standing sauna requires summing up individual engineering communications, such as water supply and sewerage, and these are additional costs.
The second construction option is the construction of structures in a complex, for example, you can select a project country house with a bathhouse inside. This construction option is good because you use the same utilities and develop a single construction plan for several structures at the same time. No need to allocate funds for construction land plot large area what has great value if your dacha has standard sizes. As a result, significant savings can be achieved.
Using a similar construction option, you can implement, for example, a project for a country bathhouse with a workshop. In addition, you can build a guest house together with it or a summer veranda for barbecuing. Often similar construction options can be seen on television - the bathhouse projects shown in “Dachny Otvet” are very popular.
Having dealt with the project option, it is worth moving on to the selection of materials for construction. Currently, the following materials are popular for the construction of country baths:
- tree;
- brick;
- foam concrete.
Foam concrete is considered the most common material for the construction of baths in summer cottage. It's cheap, and buildings can be built from it. with my own hands without hiring professionals for this. In addition, foam blocks retain heat well, which allows you to maintain good heat in the bathhouse for a long time long time.
In addition to choosing a project and material for construction, before starting construction work, you will have to purchase everything necessary for them, as well as determine the place where the bathhouse will be located. It is also worth drawing up a construction estimate so that the money set aside for this is enough to complete all technological operations. If, for example, you have chosen a project for a country bathhouse from the Aurora company or another construction company, all preparatory work It will be carried out by specialists.
Choosing a place to build a bathhouse
Country bathhouses on 6 acres - projects and their photos - give an idea of the requirements for the location.
So, experienced builders advise:
- Do not build a bathhouse next to a pond, as it may be flooded during spring floods. For the same purpose, it is better to build it on a hill to ensure the drainage of melting water from the walls of the building.
- It is better to erect the building on the leeward side so that in the event of a fire, the fire does not spread from it to residential buildings. In addition, if you decide to attach a veranda to it for relaxation, then place it in a quiet area in order to protect yourself from drafts while on vacation.
- It is better not to start a construction site next to the road, as dust from it will fly towards the bathhouse and spoil your bathing procedures.
- It is best to place windows on the sunny side, as this will save money cash for lighting.
In addition, when constructing bathhouses, it is worth keeping the internal area for 2-3 people per 10 square meters, and the height of the interior is 2 meters. Windows and doors should be kept small to save heat. A high threshold also reduces the level of heat loss.
If you decide to choose for constructionproject of a country house with a built-in bathhouse, then in this case you won’t have to search extra bed on a summer cottage, since the bathhouse will become part of a residential building. The only thing that should be provided separately is the arrangement of additional vapor and waterproofing and ventilation. This is due to the high humidity characteristic of a steam room. So it needs to be removed from the premises in a timely manner so that pockets of rot do not arise in them.
By the way, if you have a plot of complex shape or many buildings have already been erected on it, it makes sense to place the bathhouse in a “corner”. This method allows you to free up space for the placement of utilities, as well as the access of vehicles and the passage of people. In addition, the corner structure allows you to create a semi-closed recreation area on the site, where you can barbecue and relax after a steam bath in nature.
Stages of bathhouse construction
After the project country house With the bathhouse approved and you have chosen a suitable place for its placement, you can proceed directly to construction.
If you decide to build a bathhouse from cinder blocks, the simplest foundation option is suitable for you - a strip foundation. It is cheap, easy to implement and does not require the use of heavy construction equipment.
Having cleared the area for the foundation, it will be necessary to dig a trench around the perimeter. Next, prepare a cushion of gravel and sand, as well as reinforcement material. Once the trench is prepared, you can start pouring the solution into it. You can prepare it yourself, or you can buy it ready-made. After pouring, the concrete should sit for a week. When pouring it into a trench, it is necessary to perform this operation so that the foundation protrudes above the ground by twenty to thirty centimeters.
Then you will need to waterproof the foundation. To do this, they lay out roofing material on it or coat it with bitumen. It is also worth making sure that before this operation begins, all communications are installed inside the foundation.
After the foundation is completed, they begin laying the walls. Typically, masonry is carried out in one block when building from foam concrete. To do this, lay out the solution on the first tier, and then the blocks themselves on it. When laying, you need to control the horizontal, vertical and angles using a building level and pre-tensioned twine.
After forcing out external and interior walls, window equipment and doorways, proceed to the construction of the roof. If you are building a small bathhouse, you can assemble the rafters and the entire roof structure on the ground, and lift the finished one up with a crane. After this operation is completed, the sheathing is made and the roofing material is installed.
Separately, it is worth taking care of the arrangement of the heating system. In most cases outside the city, the bathhouse is heated with a brick wood-burning heater. Its chimney can be led either upward or sideways, into the wall of the building.
Once the roof is completed, you will need to work on the floors. To do this, insulation is laid between pre-laid joists, steam and waterproofing is performed, and the insulation is covered with floorboards. Then they can be finished, for example, with tiles or clapboard.
Carrying out interior and exterior finishing
The design of a country house with a bathhouse also involves the choice of special finishing materials. In this case, in any case, it will be necessary to perform a vapor barrier so that excess moisture does not accumulate under the finishing, which can lead to rotting processes in wooden structures.
After the vapor barrier is completed, the insulation is installed, and the bathhouse can be insulated both from the inside and outside. It is best to use a material based on mineral wool, since it does not burn and is not afraid of moisture. It is produced in the form of ready-made slabs and therefore its installation in place should not present any particular difficulties.
Usually, bathhouses in the country are finished with clapboard, although there are other finishing options. It all depends on the design you choose for it. For example, you can use facing bricks, siding, and composite materials. However, they should not be afraid high temperatures and release substances harmful to health when heated.
Exterior finishing is done in a similar way. At the same time finishing materials, used for such finishing, must have increased resistance to mechanical damage and exposure to precipitation. Also, when decorating external walls, you should not use those materials that are intended only for installation indoors, since they will not be able to serve you for a long time when outdoors.
When finishing the walls, do the electrical wiring at the same time. It should either be hidden in the walls, or placed in a special non-flammable box. It is best to invite a professional electrician for this purpose - after all, there is high humidity in the bathhouse, it can lead to a short circuit, which can lead to an accident.
The last stage of construction and arrangement of the bathhouse is its equipping with furniture and necessary accessories. These include shelves in the steam room, benches and racks in the sink, and a table and chairs in the relaxation room if you decide to build one. You can also arrange a separate room for storing fuel so as not to have to go outside to get it.

Description
Project of a bathhouse with a terrace made of 240 mm rounded logs “Aurora”
Wooden sauna for large companies! The dimensions of the bath are 9.6 x 12.0 m2. The total area is 109.44 m2, useful area is 96.27 m2. The bathhouse has a spacious terrace (23.15 m2), on which a barbecue area is planned. The rest room can accommodate up to 5-6 people, its area is 29.55 m2. The steam room (10.62 m2) has seating for 4-5 people.
Architecture. The bathhouse has a spacious terrace with plenty of space for garden furniture. The roof above it rests on cross-cut supports. The rest room has a lot of light due to the large number of windows. For roofing it is proposed composite tiles. On the terrace flooring made of thermal board. Plankten made from Siberian larch will look good.
Layout. In the center of the bathhouse there is an entrance hall, which can be accessed from the vestibule. The living room is large, there is space for a dining area and a small kitchen. Five people will be comfortable in the steam room. There is a large shower and changing room. The bathroom is located in the hallway.
The roof is a necessary part for every home, and it is subject to intense exposure to precipitation and wind. Therefore, it is important to ensure high-quality installation and reliable fastenings. Lack of experience and knowledge in roofing installation will reduce the service life of the roofing, leading to leaks and other problems. The MariSrub company will perform professional roof installation. In addition, the company’s craftsmen will select the appropriate roofing covering, components and additional parts.
Roof installation specifics
The company's specialists will install the roof taking into account all the necessary construction standards. Roofing work in wooden house include:
- Roof insulation and interfloor ceilings, namely installation of vapor and sound insulation;
- Arrangement of the rafter system and sheathing;
- Selection of roofing and additional elements that are optimally suited to the type of structure and to each other;
- Installation of roofing of any shape and from any material, including soft and natural;
- Device drainpipes, gutters and snow retainers, flashing cornices and other types of finishing work;
- Installation of roof windows.
MariSrub specialists will install a reliable rafter structure and lay a high-quality vapor barrier. After the vapor barrier layer, thermal insulation is laid, followed by waterproofing. Afterwards a ventilation gap is placed. And only then the sheathing and covering are installed.
The arrangement of layers is very important when arranging a roof, especially for wooden house. Please note that finishing materials are installed at a distance of five centimeters from the vapor barrier layer. If the location is incorrect, condensation accumulates, which leads to deformation of the wood and the appearance of leaks.
Which roof to choose for a wooden house
The shape and material of the roof affects appearance home and how long the structure will last. Today there are many forms of roofs, which need to be selected depending on the climate and type of structure. So in regions with a large number precipitation the roof should be steeper.
Suitable for verandas, terraces and guest houses pitched roof. The most common option is a gable roof, which is suitable for country cottage, bathhouse and country house. She endures large number precipitation, easy to install and looks aesthetically pleasing.
For attic floor use special mansard roofs, under which it is easy to equip a living space. At the same time, the level of slope of the slopes and the height of the roof can be adjusted to any size. The hip roof with four slopes, two of which are in the form of a trapezoid, the rest are in the form of triangles, looks elegant and original. Installation of this design is more complicated.
You also need to take a responsible approach to the choice of coating material. Today there are many options, including natural wooden roof. This coating looks harmonious with log house, environmentally safe and reliable. Current materials Metal tiles and composite tiles remain. These are durable, easy to install and inexpensive coatings.
MariSrub experts will help you choose suitable materials. From the right choice coating and components depend on the durability of the structure and the aesthetics of the structure.
