It is necessary to remember that at construction of any object there are nuances, try to consider it when you undertake to build bath the hands.

1. For a start it is necessary to choose correctly location for bath. If nearby there is reservoir or the small river, then, in order to avoid flooding, it is desirable to put bath at distance not less than 15 meters from them. It is not recommended to combine bath with various buildings, such as house, summer kitchen or workshop. If you not the professional builder, then can lead such experiments to emergence of dampness and musty smell in these rooms.
2. Decide on the sizes. If the site small, then bath is put size 6kh4m. It is enough to place the main rooms: pair, washing and waiting room. Anyway, everyone solves, proceeding from the opportunities and number of people in family. It is possible to do without washing and it to save on construction materials.
3. We lay the foundation. It can be pile, tape or column. The brick, concrete, stone or combination from these materials are used at laying of the column base. Laying the pile foundation, give preference to piles from oak, they will longer serve. Between columns put brick wall thickness in one brick, or make bulk walls of gravel, beaten brick or slate.
4. Less labor-consuming on time and expenses is laying of continuous footing. For this purpose it is necessary to dig out trench, to fill up in it sand layer in 20-25 cm, to water and stamp. Further there is layer from filling brick of the same thickness. If you make everything correctly, receive reliable and long-life construction.
5. Ideal material for bath walls still is the tree. It eco-friendly, well holds and gives heat. It is possible to use other materials (brick, natural stone, concrete) only in case they are more available to your purse.
6. We equip bath heart — steam room. Most important part of steam room, of course, furnace Kamenka. In comparison with variety of electric heaters in the market, pipes with hot water or gas, the furnace Kamenka remains the reliable economic decision. It is possible to buy it, about the prices it is possible to take an interest in specialized online stores and shops of your city.
7. In bath there should not be nothing that could emphasize her isolation or take unfairly a lot of place, there should be no sharp angles. In the doorway in steam room establish glass: when there is opportunity to see the outside world, even purely psychologically closed space seems more, besides, for the purpose of safety it is convenient to watch the person who is in steam room. Air in steam room has to circulate therefore the flooring on benches and regiments should not be continuous. For gleam between boards the distance in 1.5-3 cm is enough.
8. Width of the top benches, as a rule, should not be less than 70 cm as with smaller width of bench at adult men the hand falls. Height of benches. If room height of 200-210 cm, then the top bench does not be higher than 110 cm, and the lower 70 cm.
9. Light in bath has to be soft and uniform therefore if the average sizes of steam room 2х2 meters, then optimum use two 40-60 W lamps. Usually lamps establish closer to ceiling, but the person lying on the top shelf, such light will not be pleasant, especially in steam room where we want to relax, first of all. Therefore installation of lamps on wall will be optimal variant.
