Wooden bath is considered traditional for our country. Many people would like to see her in their summer cottage or in the courtyard of a residential country house. A feature of a wooden bath can be considered the fact that the adoption of water procedures in it gives a certain therapeutic effect. The walls of such a structure "breathe", which contributes to the ventilation of the steam room.
Most often, a wooden sauna is built from coniferous logs - spruce or pine. When choosing a material, first of all, it is worth considering its quality. To build a strong and durable structure, the logs should not have too many knots and resin pockets. The tar smell is one of the advantages of a wooden bath. However, if there are too many pockets, the resin will begin to flow from the intense heat and stand out on the walls. In addition to coniferous, you can use lime logs. This steam room will smell nice.
A wooden bath should be built in a suitable place. In this case, it will be much more convenient to use it. When drawing up a project, it is necessary to providePossibility of wiring. In addition, this room is best located near a water source in the event that, of course, there is no central water supply in the country house. The entrance to the bath is best designed from the south side. In this case, it will be easier to use this room in the winter.
Currently, completely different wooden baths are being built. Projects can be both simple and complex. The simplest design of the bath can be considered a simple wooden house, consisting of one room, in which they undress and steam. However, clothes are usually left in a special dressing room. Sometimes such structures are attached to the main building. However, experts in most cases advise to put the bath separately. In this way, high humidity in the main room can be avoided.
Building wooden baths is not an easy task. Basically, the technology is similar to the methods of erecting residential chopped or block houses. The design of the foundation depends on the thickness of the walls and the characteristics of the soil. Both columnar and tape options are used. Logs in the process of construction are stacked butt to the top. At the same time they are laid with tow. The corners are connected "in the paw", "in the bowl", or "in the oblo".
At the end of the construction of the log house, it is caulked. This process is repeated after shrinkage of the building, after a year and a half. A wooden bath can have an attic space. In this case, the steam room will be longerkeep warm. The roof itself can be both single-pitched and gable. The latter option looks more aesthetic.
As for the stove, the Russian sauna traditionally uses a heater. It can be made of brick or steel. The latter option, as cheaper and easier to use, is used much more often. Recently, many have begun to use electric fireplaces in the baths as well. When installing them, care should be taken to ground the electrical wiring.
So, a wooden sauna can have absolutely any design. In this regard, everything depends primarily on the personal preferences of the owner, as well as on the state of his wallet. Either way, it's worth it. This room can become a place of real relaxation for both the body and the soul.
