Bathhouse made of 5x5 logs with an attic. Beautiful designs of bathhouses with an attic

Despite the fact that beautiful designs of bathhouses with an attic are presented in abundance in free access, most homeowners still want to have unique design of its own construction. The desired project can be ordered from a specialized company or compiled independently. But for this, many factors must be taken into account, starting from the material from which the structure will be built, and ending with zoning.

Peculiarities

A bathhouse with an attic is a relatively new solution that has only recently gained recognition. Using the attic space opens up many possibilities:

• you can equip a rest room;
• allocate space for a billiard room;
• build Gym;
• leave the attic for storing small items: towels, bath brooms and the like.

However, it is best to turn the attic into a room in which you can spend time pleasantly. Organizing the space above the bathhouse has many advantages:

• This way you can save space by rationally using all available square meters.
• A large bathhouse with such a superstructure, for example, with an area of ​​8 by 9 m, can be used as a full-fledged guest house, which will solve the problem of accommodation large quantity friends or relatives.
• The attic can be converted into a veranda, completely glazed end walls, or you can supplement it with a terrace if you make an exit to open balcony. Such specific solutions will not leave anyone indifferent.
• Baths with attic floors look much more attractive than low one-story buildings. They fit better into any environment.

By using the space under the roof, it becomes possible to save on heating costs. If everything is calculated correctly, the attic floor will be heated by a sauna stove and will always have a comfortable temperature. If the bathhouse is used only in summer period, then you can use the attic in the summer as living room. Another solution is to equip it with a summer kitchen with beautiful view to the surrounding nature.

Project

Today, large designs of bathhouses with an attic are in demand:

• 5x5 m;
• 5x6 m;
• 6x4 m;
• 6x6 m;
• 6x7 m;
• 6x8 m;
• 6x9 m.

It is worth looking at some drawings, to understand exactly how the plan for a bathhouse with an attic is built and what professional architects focus on.

• Bathhouse with attic measuring 6 by 4 m has all the necessary compartments on the ground floor. There is a steam room, a washing room, a relaxation room, and even a terrace. A small attic room can be converted into anything, but it is best to make it either an additional bedroom or a billiard room. So after the bath procedures you can have a pleasant time. Please note that this project is not designed for people to live permanently in the attic (even guests), since the layout of this 4x6 m bathhouse does not include a toilet.

• Bathhouse with attic measuring 5 by 7 m has a full bathroom. Please note that a building with an attic is still considered to be one-story, and the attic floor on the plan is called an attic, and not a second floor. The second floor has a small area due to the fact that the bathhouse is covered gable roof, under which there is almost no space left to build a full-fledged room.

• The design of this bathhouse with an area of ​​6x5 m does not provide a large space for bath procedures. It is most suitable for constructing a residential building. So, the roof here is attic, freeing up maximum space for rooms, so there are two of them under the roof. In addition to this, there is a large room rest area on the ground floor, part of which can be used as a kitchen.

Materials

In general, bathhouses can be built from completely different materials: timber or rounded logs, aerated concrete, brick, SIP panels - in a word, from almost anything. An attic superstructure is a completely different matter. You can’t make it out of anything, and there is a very simple explanation for this: the foundation may not hold up and sag under the weight of the structure.

That is why it is important to initially indicate in the plan the desire to add an attic. This way it will be possible to calculate everything so that the foundation can withstand and not sag, and the walls do not crack.

If you decide to build an attic only after the bathhouse has already been built, it is strongly recommended to take a closer look at lightweight materials: frame panels, gas or foam blocks. They weigh significantly less, and will cope with their duties no worse, especially since the main protective function will still be performed by the roof.

It happens that the owners of a site build a bathhouse with an attic for reasons of economy, but at the same time do not want to give up quality construction. In this case, the first floor itself can be built from quality logs, and for the attic, leave a simpler option, for example, a laminated timber frame. Since the second floor is not subject to the same colossal loads, you don’t have to worry that such wooden walls will rot or crack.

It is important to pay attention to insulation materials, as well as the caulking of the entire structure, if it is made of a log house.

Tree

The best material For the construction of baths, no matter how many storeys, wood is rightfully considered. Since ancient times, our ancestors have used this particular raw material, since it has many positive features:

• It is resistant to temperature changes. Specially selected wood, laid properly, is better able than other materials to resist temperature changes, which are essential in a steam room.
• Has a beneficial effect on the human body. Evaporation essential oils Some types of wood have a calming effect on the psychological background of a person, and also lead to natural cleansing of the respiratory tract.
• Wood retains heat well. Wooden buildings will not cool down for a long time, so you can take a steam bath longer. In addition, the heat is moist and comfortable, the heat is not harsh.
• Wood is an environmentally friendly material, which a priori speaks in its favor.
• Usually, wooden structures perfectly withstand the weight of superstructures, especially if they were built from high-quality wood. This means that an attic for a wooden bath can be built a little later than the start of its operation.

The biggest disadvantage of wooden baths with an attic is their high cost, but by choosing an alternative material for the attic you can save significant money. Wood is also a fire hazard, so you need to think about possible evacuation from the attic floor.

Brick

Brick, unlike wood, does not burn, but its positive qualities are not limited to this:

• Like wooden baths, brick ones last a very long time. Their service life, if the construction is made of high-quality raw materials using all the rules, exceeds 50 years.
• Brick is an environmentally friendly material. In its production, only natural substances are used.
• Objectively speaking, it is almost impossible to build a bathhouse with a complex, intricate shape from timber. Another thing is brick. When using this material, it is possible to build any intricate structure, while the thermal insulation characteristics of the walls do not suffer, since the joints will still remain completely sealed.

Brick baths They also have a number of shortcomings:

• Heating such a bathhouse is much more energy-intensive. Brick heats up much more slowly than wood, but cools down several times faster.
• It will be necessary to provide good waterproofing, since brick quickly becomes damp when exposed to moist air.
• Brick costs a lot, so you need to prepare decent money for the construction of a brick building with an attic floor.

Bathhouses with an attic, made entirely of brick, need to be fully planned. Brick is a fairly heavy material, and the base underneath it may simply not support the weight of the structure with the superstructure.

There are a number of materials that can be used to create an attic without greatly increasing the weight of the entire bathhouse building.

Gas and foam blocks

Foam blocks or aerated concrete are a bad solution for building a bathhouse itself. This is due to the fact that under the influence of moisture, materials quickly disintegrate, therefore, such walls will not last long. As for the attic floor, where the air is much drier, blocks are a great idea. Thanks to your positive qualities they are perfect for lining an attic.

Advantages:

• Block material is much cheaper than brick or wood. In addition, construction from it is a fairly simple process, so you won’t need a lot of money to pay workers.
• Thanks to the lightness of the blocks, construction can generally be done alone. The same lightness plays into the hands in the case of excessive load. Thanks to the block attic floor, this will not occur.

• Both aerated concrete and foam blocks are fire resistant. They do not burn, therefore they are fireproof.
• Although the blocks cannot be called ecological pure material, it does not adversely affect the atmosphere. Due to their synthetic origin, the blocks are not attacked by rodents or insects, and mold fungi do not grow in them.
• The blocks are large. Due to this, all work is carried out in the shortest possible time. They are easy to saw, giving them the desired shape, which makes the work even easier.
• Although the material is “afraid” of temperature changes, it tolerates high temperature conditions well, without cracking or deforming.

Block material has more than enough disadvantages. That is why it is rarely used for the construction of baths. As mentioned above, blocks do not tolerate temperature changes. This material itself easily releases heat, so high-quality thermal insulation will be required, and this greatly increases construction costs. However, in cases where the blocks are used for the attic, these disadvantages are not so important.

Frame

Assembling a frame for subsequent cladding with inexpensive panels is not a new solution. Builders generally speak positively about this method, since the construction process itself is greatly simplified. You don't have to apply any special effort, as is the case with wood or brick. Frame construction is suitable for both the entire bathhouse and only the attic floor. The material retains heat well: its performance is not inferior to its wooden counterparts. However, there are also some nuances.

By itself, a frame bath without finishing does not look particularly attractive, so considerable investments will be required in its finishing, both outside and inside. In addition, for winter use you need to properly insulate the frame walls, and this will also cost a pretty penny.

Not every material is suitable here: it is important that it be fire-resistant, otherwise the frame will easily burst into flames at the slightest exposure to an open flame, since the materials for the frame are not fire-resistant.

So, there is not much difference in price when they are building a frame bathhouse or a log bathhouse. But there are strong differences in weight. The frame structure weighs 5-6 times less, therefore, there is almost no load on the foundation. If you build a frame attic floor over an existing bathhouse, this will not harm the foundation. You can also save on insulation here, since the main heat insulating function will be carried by the roof.

SIP panels

The construction of structures from SIP panels began in Canada, and since this country has a climate close to ours, Russian companies The technology was quickly adopted.

You can build a bathhouse with an attic from SIP panels in record time. fast deadlines, and they will have a lot of advantages, including:

• The low weight of finished buildings allows them to be erected on lightweight foundations, for example, strip foundations, which are the easiest to build.
• The panels themselves already have a fairly decent level of thermal insulation due to the components they contain. So, on the attic floor you can do without additional insulation.

• Proper execution installation guarantees the absence of drafts, dampness and cold in the room due to the complete sealing of all seams.
• What is important for baths is the moisture resistance of the material. Some of the SIP panels are moisture-resistant, but not all, so you need to pay attention to the presence of appropriate markings.
• This is not to say that the panels are flammable. However, they are made of wood, so the use of basic measures fire safety Necessarily.
• SIP panels have good soundproofing qualities, which is important when constructing an attic for a living room, in particular a bedroom. This way, street sounds will not penetrate into the room and you can relax peacefully.

SIP panels have a number of significant disadvantages, which are mainly associated with their installation and financial component. You won't be able to install it properly on your own. You will definitely need assistants, or better yet, a team of professionals. The cost of the material is by no means so low, especially if it High Quality. Aesthetically, such baths also do not look very attractive, so money will be required to decorate them.

Room zoning

The attic can be adapted to any room, or you can combine several zones here at once. The most popular options include the following:

• Restroom. Zoning provides places for passive and active recreation. Here you can organize billiards, placing them next door comfortable sofas or armchairs so you can sit comfortably and just relax.

• Veranda + living room. When an attic is turned into a glassed-in veranda, it is always advantageous, especially when the bathhouse is surrounded by picturesque surroundings. In such an atmosphere it will be pleasant to drink tea after the steam room.

• Living room + kitchen. If space allows, then you can organize a full-fledged living space here. However, difficulties may arise with communications, in particular gas. Some craftsmen manage to adapt a sauna stove for kitchen needs, but you shouldn’t go to such extremes. It is better to simply organize a dining room in the attic, placing a sofa bed nearby for relaxation.

• Gym. If you make good ventilation in the attic and install several exercise equipment, you will be able to create a full-fledged sports room. Since there is a washroom downstairs, cleaning yourself up after sports will not be difficult.

Characteristics

Description:

The roof is attic (increased area of ​​the second floor), only the frame of the common room is completed, roof height: 3.70 m.
Ceiling height: 2.10-2.20 m.

Be the owner suburban area with a dacha or a cottage for permanent residence, and at the same time not have your own bathhouse - probably few people will agree to this. It’s not just about the opportunity to wash thoroughly in comfortable conditions created for yourself, without fear of any unsanitary conditions. Since ancient times, the bathhouse has been almost the most essential element of any farmstead, a symbol of the thoroughness of the owners, a kind of personal medical institution, and often favorite place relaxation for the whole family and meetings with your closest friends.

If the area is large, then the owners can afford a lot in terms of choosing a bathhouse. But what about those who have limited space? It’s okay, and in a small “patch” of the building it is quite possible to fit not only the bathhouse itself, but also additional living space. An example is a 5x4 bathhouse with an attic, the design of which will be discussed in this publication.

It would seem that what can be accommodated in such a small area? Don't rush to conclusions...

If you give in internet search request for baths of the required size, then, for sure, you will receive many options coming from specialized companies engaged in the production and assembly of ready-made building kits. There is plenty to choose from - and wall material, both in terms of layout, and in terms of the degree of insulation of the room, and in numerous other parameters.

However, it also happens that the owners are not fully satisfied with the layout of the bathhouse building. Another situation is that the family budget does not allow for such an acquisition at once, and future owners are forced to gradually accumulate stocks of building materials in order to later, when ready, build a bathhouse themselves.

In this case, why not try to plan your own construction? It is clear that any capital structure requires architectural calculations - but they can be ordered, already having outlines in hand own project. And every owner of the site can carry out initial sketches and calculations independently, if he has basic knowledge of mathematics, drawing skills, and has a rough idea of ​​what he wants to get in the end. And if you have experience working with graphical applications on a computer, then the task becomes even easier.

And having in my hands finished project, you can either do the selection yourself necessary materials, or contact the same company, where they can produce a complete set according to the drawings CT for construction.

The article will not technological processes of construction are considered– separate sections of the site are dedicated to this. The main goal is to show how to correctly provide in your project everything necessary for a small wooden bathhouse with an attic.

Bath foundation

Any building needs reliable basis, the role of which is played by the foundation. Which option is preferable?

• For small bathhouse shallow-depth is quite suitable strip foundation. It can be erected on almost any soil, and its depth, tape width, degree of reinforcement, etc. - already depend on the size of the building and the characteristics of a particular site.

Using a strip foundation is not always profitable

For all its advantages, it is still not without its shortcomings. Thus, significant excavation, high consumption cement, sand, gravel, especially considering that the recommended base height for a bathhouse is about 500 mm. Absolutely not profitable It will be on a rough area, where there is a significant level difference in the building area. And one more minus - concrete will require no less to fully mature, and during this period all further construction works are suspended.

• Another type of concrete foundation is monolithic slab. Although it is not afraid of seasonal soil fluctuations, it will require a lot of building materials, and for a small wooden bathhouse this option seems redundant.

• A columnar foundation can significantly reduce the cost of building materials. In addition, it allows you to raise the building itself to the desired height, and helps to “fit” into a moderately rough area. The supports are made of bricks on concrete base, or fill their solution completely or using pipes. The pillars are placed at the corners and along external walls buildings and additionally, for reinforcement, along one or more lines inside the quadrangle.

It would seem to be the optimal solution, but it is also not without vulnerabilities. So, on heaving, clay or loamy soils, especially with close proximity of aquifers, such a foundation will be unreliable. In addition, although the volume of concrete poured is low, its maturation period does not decrease at all.

• A pile-screw foundation is probably the best of all existing ones for a bathhouse. Piles screwed into the ground to a depth below the freezing level are not afraid of winter heaving and close proximity to water. The sections of piles protruding above the surface can be brought to the same desired height even with a strong difference in ground level, and connected to each other by grillages, they become an excellent basis for attaching beams or logs of the lower frame.

To install such piles, the efforts of 3 ÷ 4 people will be required without the use of special equipment; excavation work is kept to a minimum. Although the technology involves filling the pipe cavities with concrete solution, it is not at all necessary to wait for it to mature - you can immediately proceed to further installation. Thus, in a few days the foundation will be ready.

So, the starting position is along the axes of the walls of the bathhouse, the given size is 4 × 5 m.

The thickness of the walls, just for example, is 250 mm.

The plan of the bathhouse must first be “fitted” into the area

In the case considered in this article, nine supports will be sufficient - four at the corners of the building, one additional one in the center of each side, and one at the intersection of the center lines of the building:

The supports are connected by longitudinal and transverse jumpers - grillages. Usually a channel is used for this. After installing the lower crown beam along the grillages, you can install the beams basement floor

or immediately logs (depending on the type and height of the planned floor). After appropriate waterproofing and insulation, they will become the basis for the flooring.

Features of the bath foundation
When doing foundation work on the construction of a bathhouse, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the structure. This concerns the height of the base and the advance thought out of the used water drainage system.

A separate article on our website is devoted to the nuances of construction.

What to build the walls of a wooden bathhouse from? Nowadays, there are several options for this.

• An ordinary log house is in old Russian traditions. Usually done from coniferous species d wood, which creates a unique microclimate in the bathhouse. Diameter br even – from 200 to 250 mm.

Methods for laying crowns log house can be different - “with the rest”, “in the corner”, “in the hook”, “in the head”, “in the paw” - all this requires considerable carpentry skill, that is, without the help of a specialist given It will hardly be possible to get by at the work stage.

A log house involves caulking the cracks between the logs - initially, during the laying of the crowns, and final, after the walls have subsided. The material used is jute, flax tow, felt, moss (“cuckoo flax”) and other natural materials.

• Walls made of timber - it is believed that they are much easier to build, since the blanks, when quality material, do not require special carpentry finishing, with the exception of corner lock joints. It is easier to lay insulating material between the beams, since they should fit tightly against one another.

Prices for timber

The design itself is lighter - the material is used in sizes from 100x150 to 150x150 mm, rarely - 200 mm.

• Much more expensive, but incomparably more convenient - profiled beams, for example, so-called "carriage". Such bars or logs are profiled, that is, they have a “tongue-groove” or “bowl” system of mutual coupling.

Very easy to use high-quality profiled timber, “carriage”

When laying the crowns of profiled timber with the simultaneous installation of insulation, a solid surface is obtained with virtually no serious cold bridges. Often, sets of such beams are sold with ready-made roll insulation materials, which are precisely calculated to fit the size of the grooves. To “bundle” the corners, special notches are used, for example, “Norwegian lock”.

Prices for profiled timber

• Recently, frame structures have become increasingly popular, including in the construction of bathhouses.

On foundation, along the lower belt of the frame, a wooden frame is mounted, which is then sheathed on the outside and inside with natural or composite materials, and a thick layer of insulation is laid between its posts. Of course, such a design is much cheaper and easier to implement, and with correct assembly and high-quality thermal insulation, the appearance differs little from a real wooden log house and fully copes with the task of preserving heat in the bathhouse. True, whatever you say, it is still not able to convey the real atmosphere of an array of natural coniferous wood - the presence of “foreign” insulation affects it.

• For internal partitions in the bathhouse, either natural beams, profiled or ordinary, or frame construction. They often put up a “five-wall” - with an inner wall made of the same material as the outer ones.
• The type of wood is also important. For a bath, with its high humidity content, optimal solution there will be coniferous wood. Pine is famous for retaining heat very well indoors. A spruce log house will be less susceptible to putrefactive processes. Fir is characterized by increased strength and a pronounced antifungal effect. The best option, of course, is larch - this wood is practically not afraid of water, and only becomes stronger when exposed to moisture. However, the cost of timber or larch logs is very high, and not everyone can afford such a luxury. In addition, when heated strongly, larch gives off a too cloying resinous smell, which may not suit everyone.

However, experienced masters give recommendations not to spare any expense, and at least the most vulnerable point is two lower crown, lay it out of larch.

Deciduous tree species are practically not used for bathhouses, with the exception, however, of aspen, which has a natural antiseptic effect and thereby improves the health of the bathhouse atmosphere.

• However, let's return to our project. With the foundation and outer contour of the building sorted out, it’s time to outline the interior.

In order to carry out full-fledged bath procedures, the bathhouse must have a steam room, a washing room, a relaxation room or a dressing room. It would be nice if, when entering from the street, a person gets not right away in the dressing room, and in the vestibule - this will reduce the loss of precious heat. Let's try to place all these rooms in our project, for example - like this.

These sizes should be quite sufficient. The length of the steam room allows you to arrange two-meter floors, which will accommodate even a tall person at full height and will easily leave room for a heater stove. A washing room in a small family bath does not need too large an area - you can install a shower tray or stall standard size(900×900 mm) and hang a tipping vat with cold water for dousing. The area of ​​the dressing room will allow you to install a table with chairs (couch) for several people. In the hallway, in the free space, you can install shelves for storing bath utensils.

For external walls (for example), a material of 250 mm thickness was used, for internal walls 100 mm will be quite sufficient.

We are planning to install doors. At the entrance you can install a wider door, 800 or 900 mm, with a height of 2000 mm. Doors to the washing room and steam room of this size are not needed - a 600 mm leaf with a height of 180 mm is enough. At the same time, you should remember the recommendation - all doors in the bathhouse, with the exception of the entrance one, should have a threshold of approximately 150 mm - in order to exclude “creeping” drafts along the floor.

Please pay Special attention– all doors, without exception, are placed so that they open towards the exit from the bathhouse. This is a special requirement safety: in emergency circumstances it is much easier to jump out doorway a traffic jam will not be created.

Since the bathhouse is located on a base with a height of 500 mm, plus the lower crown beam has another 200 mm, it is necessary to provide a ladder, at least the simplest one - a wooden one. In the example under consideration, these are three steps (the role of the fourth is played by the floor surface), each 175 mm high and 233 mm deep.

As planned, we are planning a bathhouse with an attic. This means that it is necessary to place a ladder to climb into attic space. Performing it outside is not too good decision. Go out after bath procedures outside, in the cold, wind, rain to rise in residential attic extremely inconvenient. Let's try to install a staircase - there is a convenient place for this, formed by the separation of the hallway wall.

Here the stairs practically do not bother anyone. The advantage of its convenience is that it rests on the outer wall and on the partition. Installation of such a staircase structure is much easier than just a “hanging” one. The result was 11 steps, each 255 mm high. It’s a bit steep, but here you can’t really run away.

You need to think about ventilation (ventilation) of the premises and their natural lighting. So, we “install” windows. Two windows in the rest room will give good illumination, one will illuminate the staircase to the attic, and one more will illuminate the vestibule.

Windows in the rest room and vestibule - for ventilation and natural light...

The height from the floor to the window sill is 1100 mm, the window height is 1000 mm with a width of 700. In the vestibule there is a smaller window - 500 × 500 mm.

This arrangement and number of windows is not a dogma at all, and if someone thinks the number or size is excessive, then they can be changed. But it is also necessary to provide a window in the washing room - it should not be large, since it will mainly serve to ventilate the room.

... and one small one in the washing room - for ventilation

The drawing shows a window at a height of 2 meters from the floor, dimensions 500 × 300 mm.

IN general outline The layout of the bathhouse itself is complete. You can try to visualize what we got:

Everything is quite convenient and rational. You can move on to the attic structure.

Attic - rafter system and roofing

Roof installation and roofing is an extremely important and voluminous issue that requires consideration in separate publications. Here, more attention will be paid to the choice of design in relation to the project already being developed.

If a bathhouse is planned with an attic, then, most likely, this means a full-fledged living space, which, for example, can serve to accommodate visiting guests. In addition, it will be very convenient for the owners themselves to relax after a good bath, without going outside, but by going upstairs to a furnished room.

This is said in order to make it clear that the attic should not be a dark “nook” in which you cannot turn around or stand up to your full height. This means you need to carefully calculate the parameters rafter system.

So on finished walls the attic floor beams were laid and secured, a flooring was made, which will later be brought to the level of the insulated bath ceiling (attic floor). Above there is a rafter system, which rests on beams or on the upper crown (mauerlat). What type of rafter system should I choose?

• There’s no need to even talk about a single-slope house - on the scale of such a small bathhouse, it would be simply impossible to build an attic.

• A gable roof is a very big question, and here's why. Let's look at the diagram:

This is a drawing done to scale. With a span of 4 meters and a normal roof slope (45°), the height in the ridge part will be only 2 meters - and this does not take into account the structure itself and the necessary insulation of the roof slopes from the inside. Even if we assume that it is possible to hem the ceiling at a height of 1800 mm (which in itself is not enough), then we still end up with an extremely narrow “pencil case”, only 500 mm wide (green rectangle). There is simply no need to talk about any amenities in such an attic.

Of course you can do it gable roof with a steeper slope. But here, too, the possibilities are unlimited. We increase the angle of the slope to 60°, and it will be possible to walk in the center of the attic without bending, but also in a strip of only about one and a half meters. But the height of the ridge has already increased to 3, 6 meters! And every even slight increase in the angle will lead to a sharp increase in the bulkiness of the roofing structure, its complication, and weight, since long runs will require lumber of a larger cross-section. Plus, the windage of the roof, that is, its exposure to wind load, is rapidly increasing.

• It’s a different matter if you plan the attic according to the “broken pattern” shown in the figure below.

The “broken” design gives a huge gain in usable space

The lower rafter legs are placed at an angle of 75°, the upper ones - 30° to the horizon. The result is a quite decent room with a height of 2 and a width of 2.9 meters, with a total length of the building of about 5 m. And at the same time, the total height of the entire roof structure is only 2.86 m, which is not so much.

Even on a small building, the attic “broken” roof looks very organic

Of course, such a rafter system will be more difficult to implement, since it includes a considerable number of load-bearing and reinforcing parts.

The main elements of the “broken” rafter system

1 – attic floor beams.

2 – side drains (the cladding of the attic walls often runs along them).

3 – run.

4 – attic floor beams.

5 – lower rafter legs.

6 - upper rafters.

7 – central pillars.

8 - ridge beam.

For the rafter system, you need high-quality lumber - beams or boards (round timber is less commonly used). The cross section of the rafters depends on the span length (distance between two support points rafter leg) and installation step. There are corresponding formulas for calculation, but you can also be guided by average values, for example, from the table below:

The design is quite complicated to implement, but it is worth it. Even above a small bathhouse of 5 × 4 meters, you get a spacious room where you can easily organize several sleeping places or a cozy lounge for relaxation.

In relation to our project - a quite spacious room

The gables on both sides are covered with wood with mandatory insulation, and windows are cut into them. In addition, if desired, you can install skylights on the roof slopes - this innovation has already received wide recognition among homeowners.

You can, of course, change the design of the roof, placing the gables on the wide, 5-meter side of the house, and the slopes on the short side. True, in this case you will have to think about a different location for the stairs to the attic - so that it is preferably located along the gable part.

Roofing is at the owners' choice. Slate has already lost its former popularity, a simple roofing material will too “depreciate” the appearance of the built bathhouse. The best option in terms of price-quality ratio is probably metal tiles or roofing sheeting, they look original and will last quite a long time.

By and large, the main design of the bathhouse structure has been completed. Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done.

First of all, you need to think about the model and location of the sauna stove. It is recommended to opt for the option of a ready-made, factory-assembled stove-heater, in which the combustion part can be placed in the dressing room.

In the steam room there are only heated surfaces and a red-hot heater, and from the rest room-restroom it is easier to fire the fire and control the combustion. In addition, if equipped with a transparent fireplace glass, this will add special comfort to the room.

How to install a stove in a wooden bathhouse?

Installation heating device in a wooden structure always requires special precautions. How to do it correctly - in a special publication on our website.

Gasket issues engineering communications, waterproofing and insulation, finishing and equipping the bathhouse with the necessary accessories and accessories are not discussed in this article - these are topics for separate detailed discussions.

In our age high technology The popularity of the conventional hot steam washing building has not waned at all. They begin to build it immediately after completion. The owners of small summer cottages are of particular interest in the 5x5 bathhouse project. Its implementation is affordable for the average family. Today, popular or more expensive ones are made of timber.

Initially, determine the location of the bathhouse. If, then tall, dense thickets of bushes and trees are desirable around. They will protect vacationers from prying eyes.

Usually the bathhouse is visited at the end of the day. Therefore, if its windows face southwest, then even in cool weather, when a vacationer comes here after work, he finds himself in a bright and sun-warmed dressing room.

Before construction, it’s tedious to decide:

• Build a bathhouse with or without an attic;
• What premises are required;
• What should be their minimum area?
• Which location is most comfortable?

The answers to these questions should be given by the layout of the 5x5 bathhouse. Its classic version:

• Tambour;
• Locker room;
• Steam room;
• Washing;
• Restroom;
• Bathroom.

Layout of a bathhouse made of 5×5 timber

Tambour

It is a must, especially if there are lovers of strong steam in winter time. The vestibule cuts off the heat and moisture of the premises from the cold air of the street. Otherwise, icing in severe frost will not allow you to open the door. Even the smallest bathhouse makes it possible to allocate at least 1 m2 for the entrance room.

Locker room

In small bath rooms, she is allocated 10 m2. Hangers, a mirror, and furniture are installed here, on which it will be convenient not only to sit down, but also to lie down. Here, after the steam room, you can take massage treatments.

Washing

Its presence has become possible since the advent of running water. Until this time, people washed in the steam room with water prepared in advance in a large barrel. If the family is large, then they take turns washing in this room. In this case, 6 m2 is enough for it. And if the washroom is just a shower, then a smaller area will do. It will be equipped so that there is enough space for sheets, towels and everything that is required for washing.

Steam room

A 5x5 bathhouse should allocate at least 6 m2. Four people can comfortably steam in it at the same time. Why can sunbeds be placed on two floors? Moving to the top shelf is a transition to a higher temperature.

Restroom

If the bathhouse has an insulated attic, then it will be equipped so that you can relax and even have fun here after completing all the bathing procedures. They put a billiard table, shelves for cups and a kettle, a TV, even a bar table with your favorite drinks.

Bathroom

It is, of course, necessary. Then you can invite friends and acquaintances to the bathhouse. They will not be bothered by discomfort during a long stay in bath room. The toilet will require little, at least 1.5 m2.

Bathhouse on personal plot- the secret desire of every owner of land and home ownership. The building is of great value. It lies in the health benefits and artistic beauty. In an effort to acquire something exclusive, many are thinking about such an option as a bathhouse with an attic. It has an undeniable majesty and is equipped with numerous design nuances. Let's consider the subtleties of designing such a structure.

Peculiarities

The exclusivity of attic baths implies the full implementation of a variety of design solutions. Choose a bath house option taking into account characteristic features. For those who like to design various variations of buildings, a bathhouse with an attic will be an excellent way to implement own ideas. One of the main superstructure structures of the attic is the staircase. Climbing to the attic in the bathhouse will require its presence.

The counterbalancing points should be carefully analyzed, taking into account the arguments for and against. Only after taking into account the main characteristics of a personal bath structure is it possible to consider design issues. One more design feature baths with an attic is the roof structure. It is important to take into account the limitations of the attic. To make this floor useful, a broken gable roof structure is often used.

Undesirable pitched roof, the type of traditional gable option also cannot be called the most convenient. Hip roofing structures are often used. WITH geometric parameters more or less clear. Choose an option for climbing to the attic, taking into account one or another roofing option. For example, marching type options are considered the most effective, but they are difficult to install in small areas. Main devices adapt especially poorly to the design of 4x4 m bathhouses.

Bolster ladders are equipped with the advantages of marching devices. Such systems cannot be applied to frame structures, since they require durable bearing support. Steps are attached to the wall. If the bathhouse is made of other materials, the device is quite acceptable for use.

Screw-type devices are not convenient, but they are effective in terms of saving space. Often they become a lifesaver in a 4x4 or 5x5 m attic bathhouse project.

The best version of the project with a veranda, terrace and attic involves placing the rooms in the following order:

• first floor;
• steam room;
• shower or washroom;
• vestibule;
• small veranda.

The veranda is often used as dining area, filling with benches, chairs, tables. This space is usually open, so it creates a simple atmosphere natural beauty. However, the veranda is sometimes sacrificed to increase the internal area of ​​the bathhouse. Arrangement is allowed in the attic area sleeping place, game room(for example, a billiard room), a pantry. If the attic is a storage room, it is more expedient to equip a resting place below. For comfort in the attic, a total room height of 2.5 meters should be provided.

Construction materials

On the modern market there are many types of building materials that can be used for any bathhouse. For example, they are built from:

• timber;
• logs;
• foam blocks;
• wood and wooden blocks;
• aerated concrete;

• rounded logs;
• frame blocks;
• glued timber;
• finished log house;
• bricks

If the project contains brick, foam concrete and aerated concrete, the walls require obligatory cladding, both inside and outside. This feature is interconnected with the technical qualities of the materials. For example, a brick bath without insulation will be cold. The qualities of aerated concrete and foam concrete are almost similar. The structural pores of these materials can collapse under the influence of high humidity and temperature changes. In this case, it is important to perform the cladding of the foundations with the construction of the structure.

The most suitable material for building a bathhouse is wood. Wood is environmentally friendly, reliable and durable, practical and durable. In such construction they also use frame technologies. In this case, both wooden and metal frames are allowed. The cladding is installed on top of the frame. Be sure to choose high-quality insulation for such a structure, which will serve as insulation for the entire structure.

The finishing of a frame building can be made of:

• wood;
• block panels;
• linings.

Interior decoration can be made from plastic. The most economical and profitable technology for constructing baths is frame. The frame does not require a massive foundation. In this case, building materials are not the most expensive. And the weight of the building will not have any additional effect on the soil.

Determining the material for building a bathhouse - important stage. In construction stores you can find standard construction kits made from ready-made elements. An assembly kit is purchased based on standard developments. Constructor parts can be made with my own hands. For the construction of baths they are often used wood materials(for example, timber, logs, rounded wood), block panels are often considered. Having dealt with the raw materials of construction, they move on to design.

Projects

Bathhouse designs with an attic vary in size and layout. The most popular of them include structures 6x6, 6 by 4 m. Despite the fact that the buildings are compact and usually simple, they provide complete relaxation. This option is suitable for a small number of people, as well as for those who do not have extra space on the site.

The 6x4 m project plan involves the placement of:

• steam rooms;
• shower;
• vestibule;
• verandas.

Some small projects do not include a veranda. Sometimes the entrance area turns into a rest room. In this case, a guest room is placed on the attic floor. Sometimes the attic involves placing a storage room.

The staircase is placed so as not to clutter the bathhouse. Structures of 6x6 or 4x6 m will also not occupy the territory of the site. An equipped attic will make the building area more useful. Wherein inner dimensions Bath rooms can vary at the request of the owner during construction.

The design of a bathhouse with an attic of 6x8 m usually accommodates everything necessary for relaxation big company. This building layout even includes a bathroom. More often there is a large terrace and a relaxation room of 20 sq. m. The room can accommodate standard furniture and even big table. A group of several people can fit at the table, while leaving space for free use.

The building includes a classic shower room and a relaxation room. There will be a spare bedroom on the attic floor. This could be a billiard room, tennis room or gym. The building material will be profiled timber.

A good compromise is the layout of bathhouses 5x5, 5x6, 5 by 9 m. To make visiting a small bathhouse enjoyable, you need to carefully calculate everything. The layout of the premises is important to take into account a well-thought-out plan. For example, in a small bathhouse 5x5 m there will be an entrance hall, a washroom, a steam room, a relaxation room or a storage room on the attic floor.

Choosing a suitable log house project is always a search for a compromise. The bathhouse must accommodate all dimensions. When choosing a 6x9 or 7 by 8 m bathhouse, it is important to take the marking of the area seriously. Think carefully about the placement of the bathhouse (especially if the land is only 6 acres).

Another important parameter is the cost of construction. Logging of large dimensions will require a larger area on the site. For example, a log house with parameters of 4x6 m will cost 10,000-15,000 rubles more than a 4x5 m bathhouse. A larger bathhouse will require more time and fuel for heating. The temperature in the steam room should be sufficient for the heat.

An important parameter for choosing the size of the bathhouse is the number of people who will visit it. If the number of steam lovers does not exceed two people, it is enough to build a small and low structure. For a large family and regular guests you need large building. To correctly indicate the layout, draw drawings.

Zones

Let’s say it’s decided to build a log bathhouse 5x5 meters.

If we consider standard plans for functional areas, there are three main ones:

• dressing room;
• washing room;
• steam room

The 5x5 m bathhouse layout option involves placing the firebox not in the dressing room, but in a separate corner, separated by a wall. The same wall separates the dressing room from the steam room. The waiting room will be spacious. It is convenient to place a table and benches, as well as hangers. This room can be a living room.

A 5x5 m bathhouse will accommodate a group of 5-6 people. Attic floor in such a bathhouse they are often used as small room recreation. The attic can be equipped with a toilet and shower room. It is definitely worth considering communications.

In a 5x5 m bathhouse, it is important to install the doors correctly. For example, it is important to get directly from the guest room to the wash room. This placement will prevent heat loss from the steam room. A shower room can be allocated a little less space than a steam room. Plan your steam room carefully. It is important to carefully consider the shapes and sizes of the shelves.

Don’t forget that part of the area will go under the stove and heater. Its location should not be close to the wall, otherwise there will be a risk of fire in the sheathing and wooden walls. They expand the area of ​​small baths by providing the building with a terrace. A small terrace can serve as a summer kitchen. The construction of a terrace will increase the number building material.

Communications

The rules imply the preparation of a building project simultaneously with the installation of all necessary communications. You will definitely need water, electricity (sometimes gas). Pad water pipes takes place during the construction of the structure. Don't overlook installation quality system ventilation in all rooms (including rest rooms), otherwise the humidity will increase. Humid air will cause fungus to appear on the walls. Some types of building material will begin to deteriorate quickly.

To maintain optimal heat in winter, it is important to provide a heating structure. Only with additional heating can optimal temperature regime in the cold. In addition to ventilation in the bathhouse, it is important to provide high-quality waterproofing and thermal insulation. Installation of communication systems in a two-story building is easier than in a one-story building with extensions.

Work related to planning is a critical stage in the construction of a bathhouse. It must be approached with full responsibility.

Once the planning issue has been resolved, determine the following important organizational steps:

• Take into account popular sizes: 6x4, 6x6, 6x8 m.
• Consider the materials from which the bathhouse will be constructed.
• You can download the program on your PC “3D modeling”. This will simplify the planning stage.

The standard arrangement of rooms is usually as follows:

• entrance from the terrace into a small hallway;
• further on there is a rest room or dressing room;
• Behind it there are two exits: to the bathroom and the steam room.

Sometimes a shower room and a steam room are provided with an additional entrance. All this is located on the first floor. The second floor is often used for entertainment, recreation or household needs. Sometimes a solarium is installed on the second floor. This adds comfort to the rest of a large company.

Buy a ready-made standard construction set. Create from a kit standard bath. Coming up with your own options for arrangement details is more difficult. If the soil properties on the site are unstable, use frame constructors for the construction of the attic complex. Columnar and screw foundation structures will help strengthen the foundation of the bathhouse.
