O Baths

In the first humidity reaches 60-80% at a temperature of 40-45 ° C, while the second only 20-30% humidity, and temperature - 90 ° C and above.



Place for a bath at the garden site should be determined taking into account the general planning area, topography, location of garden plot in the quarter, the availability of other buildings on the site and neighborhood, health and fire safety requirements. Most appropriate to place it in the economic zone area, interconnected with other utility structures or freestanding. Lock can be shed with the economic, storage space for inventory and shop. It can also be placed outside shower, and in some cases it can perform the role of a summer kitchen.


Size baths usually 3-4 m2 of total area per washable, although in traditional practice, these dimensions do not exceed 2,0-2,5 m2. On the composition of bath rooms can be simple, consisting of one room 5.6 m2 area, where the combined washing, steam room, locker room, as well as a set of premises where there may be provided in a waiting room, dressing, washing, steam room. The latter can be constructed at a community center with the calculation of the horticultural staff at the service of gardeners. It is constructed with public funds. The area of a bath to 15 m2.

A simple bath from one room is not quite convenient, as are uncomfortable temperature conditions after the parks, no place to rest after the thermal treatments, where in summer it is desirable to relax outdoors in the dressing room. After a hot bath is better to dress in less than a hot room than a combined washer and steam room. That is why the Russian baths in most cases provides for a waiting room. Without increasing significantly the area of baths and price structures, it creates an undeniable convenience and advantages over the simple one-volume bath. Especially that dressing room can be made of lightweight walling: boards, chipboard, corrugated or flat slate, etc. It can also be provided for a small pantry.

The best material for the construction of a bath - a tree, especially conifers. It may be 18-20 cm thick logs or timber - 12-20 cm tree quickly absorbs steam, creating a lower air humidity, and allocated to the pine and spruce wood aromas have antibacterial properties. In the absence of wood in sufficient quantities wall bath can be made of red bricks, rubble, cinder blocks, reinforced cinder block. However, the wall of stone with a sharp temperature drop of condensate covered, long warm up and cool down quickly. For garden plots, these disadvantages are compensated somewhat by the fact that the bath is operated mostly during the warm period. You can reduce the deficiencies noted by the stone walls lining the inside of the baths Softwood Lumber.

To save heat in the sauna suit a high threshold (20 - 25 cm) and a small doorway, which sets out the door size of 70-80X130-150 cm, made of thick planks of 40-50 mm in a quarter or a dowel. Arrange window, usually small in size 50X60 cm, although for a bath in the garden of the window can be recommended to larger sizes, but preferably with double glazing. Ceiling height in the washing and steam room - from 180 to 200-220 cm, which ensures rapid heating premises with less fuel or electricity.

The device of the sexes in the bath has its own characteristics and structurally can differ in the changing room and washing. In a waiting room for insulation and operation in the winter is better to arrange the two decks: the black and pure sex. Can be used for black boards worst sort, but rather well-fitted to each other. At the black floor plank net that color. You can rely on him as linoleum, wood-fiber plate followed by painting.

Prior to the floor in the washing device to resolve the issue of withdrawal of the used water from the bath into the local sewer system. Underground space suit inclined to the pit running in a small tank. In the pit to a height of 10 - 12 cm from the bottom should make exhaust pipe spillway through which the used water goes into the local sewer system. To prevent unpleasant odors from the drains in the bath is arranged castle. To do this, install sump plate inclined to the plane of the exit drainage pipes are hermetically fastened on three sides and nedohodyaschuyu to the bottom of the pit for 5 - 6 cm, which provides a water seal. The surface of the underground space, which receives the water should be absorbed by clay, concrete or other waterproof material. Directly on this surface suit brick columns to six bricks druh series on the solution, which put the wooden joists. Among the beams and columns arrange waterproofing. On the joists attach the floor boards with a gap of 5-6 mm for water drainage. To ensure normal flow, with the boards removed longitudinal bevel, making them slightly sloping. To prevent wood from rotting they should be treated with antiseptic.

The most important part of the baths - the heating system, which can be as different ovens, as well as providing hot water from geleoustanovok or otherwise required temperature in the bath can be achieved by the heater of special design.

The most common furnace-heater of simple construction. Install the boiler in the furnace, which is arranged under the firebox. Output of hot gases occurs through the heater where stones are placed (preferably granite), iron ingots, good thermal storage. Over stones arrange door, where for the creation of high heat in a bath bucket to fill with water.

In summer the bath can also serve as a summer kitchen. In this case, the desired wave of a different design. Instead of the built boiler use ordinary jars or other containers that are mounted on the ordinary plate. You may apply a standard cast-iron stove with two or odnokonforochnaya.

The stove is running as an extended tube filled with stones. As the heater can be used by an ordinary iron barrel with cut holes on both sides. You can not do a continuous hole in the bottom, and with the help of gas welding done on the part of the furnace system of holes, which are not allow to fall stones - heat storage. In the upper part of the barrel can cut a hole on the value of the tube channel. Above the barrel-stove in the brick chimney mount the door size 220X270 mm, which serves water to raise the temperature in the bath. This stove is easy to manufacture, requires no special skills.

For masonry stoves used refractory bricks with clay mortar with the addition of refractory sand. Masonry are mostly in a half-brick, at least - into a brick with a good series ligation thin mortar joints. Firebox are satisfied with podduvalom, which is separated from the combustion grate. Chamber stove filled with granite stones weighing from 1 to 4 kg for 60 kg of stones per 1 m 3 room steam room or sauna room-washer. As possible to 25% thermal storage mass is desirable to replace the cast iron ingots.

Place the oven chosen for the size baths and rooms. When combining the location of bath and the sauna stove is installed in one corner of the room with the distance from the wall of wood at 30-40 cm in the device apart and washing the sauna stove is placed so that it is warmed both rooms.

The furnace is required foundation depth of at least 50-60 cm from the rubble concrete and red brick. When placing the foundation of the furnace in the vicinity of the basement wall between them leaves a distance of at least 60 mm, which is poured sand.

Tube furnace operates out of masonry the size of the channel 19X19 cm, or can be used asbestos-cement pipe with a diameter of 150 mm. When placing the tubes should observe fire conditions, placing the pipe no closer than 150 mm from the timber.

Simple heating stove with stove can be made of two metal barrels, one of which fit under the firebox with podduvalom, ash pan and grate, and another - as a heater. In the barrel can be mounted water tank. The distance from the bottom of the tank until the grate should be not less than 25 cm can be a barrel of crop height and the upper part adapted odnokonforochnuyu iron plate on which set of common water bottles. Barrel-stove is placed on the legs and connect with the firebox, flue pipe diameter of 22 cm at the side of her mount the door size 220X160 mm, and the top is arranged chimneys pipe diameter of 150 mm.

For better thermal effect at the installation stove-heater arrange a Finnish sauna heat-reflective screen, which is a metal corrugated or wrinkled shiny surface of aluminum foil.

Heat bath should be wood, birch is better. Close the tube furnace only after the complete combustion of wood, the disappearance of blue flame over the coals, and appear on their flying ash. This ensures that no carbon monoxide.

When using the solar systems or other means of heating water can be used to heating stove with electric heaters such as heater. Power of one of the heaters, furnaces, developed Моснечерноземиндустрпроект, 2,8 kW. He has four heating power of 1 kW each. Operating voltage 220 V. Install the stove in the asbestos-cement slab at a distance of not less than 10 cm from the wall. Furnace body ground, and shield the wooden barrier. Electrical wiring made of a chetyrehzhil Nogo-cable in a metal protective tube. Control and protection set in the waiting room.
