A wonderful way to save is to build a bathhouse from foam blocks yourself. Currently, this material is gaining more and more popularity among the people. They are made of concrete with cells. It does not have chemical impurities that affect the health of the owner and members of his family, as well as easy to operate, which also shows him from the best side.
In order to make a bathhouse competently, first of all, it is necessary to correctly lay out the foundation.
Creation of the foundation of a bathhouse from foam blocks
Initially, it is necessary to dig a pit 60×30 cm with dimensions.
Then you need to apply the laser level and score the pins in its corners
Next, the rope pulling and the introduction of additional pins, which should be located with a period of 1.9 m,.
Thus, the process of preparatory work is completed. Next, it is necessary to build a special frame structure from the reinforcement. The thickness of the metal structure should be 12 mm., and wooden – 25 mm.
Further, the basis should be poured with concrete of the 200th brand. The result is a foundation, the height of which is about 75 cm. This is enough for the design to build a small bath from foam blocks.
The shower area should have a sewer laid down. It should have a 10 cm receiver.
Then this structure is covered with a special grid. It is necessary that the net is slightly larger than the base of the foundation. This will help to avoid its possible deformations when installing it.
Next, you need to wait a few days so that the base is frozen. After a while, it is necessary to continue construction work.
Wall and roof trim
Laying waterproofing is the next step in construction. After that, the wall decoration should be done. One of the most popular brands of foamed materials is M 25 with density D 700. They are designed specifically for structures with dimensions of 10x30x60.
Initially, it is necessary to calculate the highest angle. It is determined by level. After that, wall decoration is carried out.
Pentlock materials should be laid out on the rope. It is necessary to ensure that the seams are as thin as possible and less noticeable. This will help make the heat loss minimum.
This material has good properties of protecting the premises from heat loss. In addition, the presence of thick seams also helps to reduce thermal insulation.
The installation and manufacture of a bath structure does not require any additional difficulties and cash costs, however, this process involves the availability of the necessary skills and experience in the owner. For example, experts know that when laying out the first row that will help fastening block structures, it is necessary to use the usual composition of cement and sand. There are also many subtleties in this work, about which an ordinary person may be not aware.
When this series is completed, it is necessary to align the surface and eliminate possible ledges and changes in the height in parts of the foundation. To carry out these work, the laser level should be used. Block structures are equal to a rubber hammer.
Subsequent rows must be fixed using special glue. Usually in stores it is sold in special bags in the form of a conventional mixture. Next, a certain volume of fluid is added to it. After some time, it can be applied to the surface in the form of a layer of 0.5 cm. The bath structure made of foamed materials does not contain any docking seams, as well as the “bridge for the transition”, which is characteristic of complex structures. Typically, masters recommend installing foamed structures in several rows. Betions of them should be laid a grid with small cells. This will help make the structure more dense and significantly reduce heat loss.
Then it is necessary to pour concrete into the formwork. Typically, this technology is used in the manufacture of ceilings or doorways.
To achieve the best effect, the first layer is laid out the thickest blocks. You can connect them using a solution with an admixture of cement.
Subsequent rows are installed using a mixture of glue. It is made thanks to the connection of dry elements and mixing them using a drill and a corolla.
Waiting for the required time to harden the structure is not required. It is superimposed immediately after breeding on the block and the next layer is laid out on top, while a special rubber hammer is used.
It is necessary to carefully monitor the horizontal and vertical layers. They are controlled using a laser and construction level.
Roof installation process
When the wall decoration process is completed, you need to fix the fasteners under the roof. Usually used boards in size 10×40 cm and uterus made of wood in size 15×50.
The grate is installed with a gap of 50 cm.
It is necessary to ensure that the supporting structures have a gap of 10.2 cm. Thus, the black version of the ceiling from boards in size 2.5 cm is installed. They are fixed between the uterus.
Then the following layers of foam block structures with a width of 19 cm are attached.
The finished design should contain several foures for ventilation.
The outer surface of the roof is covered with a special flooring, which should be dense and is not able to deform, as well as resistant to weather conditions.
The front part is covered with roofing material. There is a wide selection on sale. It all depends on the desire and capabilities of the owner.
