Just think, we suggest you build a sauna with your own hands right in your home. You can’t say that. You are mistaken, you can build a sauna in the apartment and do it relatively simple, you only need to know some details, which will be discussed in this article. If you are a happy owner of your own home, it is better to collect a sauna in a non -residential room, basement, attic, or just a “extra” room. If you live in a typical apartment, and at your disposal there is no sufficient amount of non -residential space, do not despair, be a sauna, but a little smaller than in the previous case.
An important point in the construction of the sauna in any case is high -quality waterproofing and effective ventilation. These measures together exclude an increase in humidity in the residential building, the appearance of extraneous unpleasant odors, as well as damage to structural elements of the sauna. For heating the space of home sauna, electric furnaces are used, modern models of these heating devices are different, they differ structurally and in power, choose you based on the size and design of your homemade steam room. Professionals advise equipping the sauna with a thermometer and hygrometer so that it can fully control changes in humidity and temperature. You can also resort to the achievements of progress and acquire an automatic system that controls the necessary conditions and supports them at a given level, but to acquire such a miracle of equipment will have to be forced up.
You can put a bathhouse in your home in two ways the first – this is to assemble the entire structure from scratch, and the second to purchase a finished bathhouse in a disassembled form. But as they say, the professional does not seek easy ways, well, tell me why we can buy what you can do on your own? Well, here’s right, and therefore we will start.
As mentioned earlier, a sauna is a qualitatively insulated room of a closed type, which is easiest to build with frames. It is better for the frame to use a beam, the cross section of which is 4*6cm, for interior decoration, wall sheathing, for benches and shelves, aspen or maple lining is suitable. In order to sheathe walls outside, you can use coniferous rocks. The insulation requires special attention, it should not be sensitive to high temperatures and, most importantly, not “gas” when he is heated enough. It is believed that an ideal solution will be the choice of foil insulation, which, by definition, has higher thermal insulation indicators. Such details of the bath as windows and the door can be ordered from the master, this will save time well, but again, you decide to decide.
The work begins with the construction of the frame, the racks are first attached to the ceiling and floor of the room (they need to be set in level, vertically). If the room where the sauna will be located has high ceilings, and you do not plan to make the structure in full embroidery, then the upper overlap is also installed at the same time. You can fix the horizontal jumpers on the racks by cutting. If you have a sauna in the corner of the room, then the two corner walls must be sheathed with a crate under the casing and insulation.
After installation, the frame is sheathed with boards from any side (if you first sheathe the inside of the frame, then use aspen, do not finish yet). Do not forget that all the metal parts of the fasteners (bolts, nails, etc.), must be completely recessed into a wooden surface, otherwise you risk getting a burn from a heated metal. After one of the sides of the frame is sheathed, the process of filling the cells with a heater begins. When using a foil material, the part where the foil is located should be facing the inside of the sauna to improve pair -defense characteristics.
When a layer of insulation took its place, move to the skin of the free walls, ceiling and floor, after which the stage of arranging the sauna begins. In the cabin, depending on its size, one or more shelves (removable boots) are mounted, light is drawn and electric burst is installed. The latter must be isolated from the floor and stream with the help of non-combustible material, for example, asbestos cartoon, and where the stones are installed a protective grate of wood to avoid a painful touch of hot parts in the future.
All electrical wiring is placed in special tubular channels, and passes inside the walls, outside the insulation layer. Remember, the installation of electrical wiring is an extremely responsible and complex process, especially when it comes to electrifying such an object as a bath or sauna, therefore, if you are not a qualified specialist in this field, it will be the best decision to contact such. Well, at the end of the work, the doors are hung, it is important to perform this work efficiently, the door should easily open and close, there should be no cracks between the threshold and the walls, another moment – the door must certainly open outside.
If you still decide to collect a sauna from ready-made blocks purchased in the store, pay attention to the attached photos, they just depict this process. Well, perhaps that’s it, you are a couple of a couple.
