Sauna with an open terrace. Bath with a terrace: we think over the project and choose the material for construction

suburban area with the house is considered finally equipped when the architectural design of the bathhouse with a terrace, a relaxation room and a barbecue area is implemented. Bath was an element of Slavic life. It served to cleanse the body, hence the old name "soap".

At Slavic peoples there was a bathing cult. They loved to steam.

The very process of going to the bathhouse is a kind of ritual, it is: knitting brooms, preparing decoctions from herbs, natural mixtures for cleansing the body with birch tar, honey. Many religious rituals are associated with the bath.

The project of a bathhouse with an attached spacious terrace, a gazebo is the most common type of structure. Despite the fact that the role of the soapbox was replaced by a bathtub or a shower stall, they could not replace the bathhouse. For modern man is the place for wellness procedures, leisure, the opportunity to relax, have a great time in the company of friends.

The desire to implement a bath project on the site is subconsciously hardwired into our hereditary code. The owner may not brag about the house, but he will emphasize, "what a bathhouse I have."

A suitable project is selected from catalogs on the Internet. It is possible to combine a bath with a summer kitchen, a billiard room.

Overview of typical projects

The project looks great with an open veranda on a pile foundation without a basement, a blind area

Projects with a bathhouse, a terrace, a barbecue veranda in the country, a personal plot are popular and in demand. Such equipment includes all the necessary elements for recreation.

Bath project 6 x 4 m with a veranda

The bath complex consists of three main elements: steam room, washing room, dressing room. Additionally, there is a locker room, a relaxation room, a terrace. A wooden door is installed between the steam room and the washing room. Sliding glass doors are popular now. They have handles that don't get hot.

What you need to consider in the project of a bath and barbecue

There are SNIPs that determine the location of the building according to sanitary, fire safety standards.

According to SNIPs:

Before choosing a bath project with a veranda, a terrace, you need to consider the following factors:

1. Before deciding on a bath project with a terrace, a barbecue, you need to think about how many guests will relax in the health complex. This determines the dimensions of the building, the size of the terrace for relaxation.
2. The structure must be proportionate to the site, you need to observe the proportions. Unless a bath with a terrace is located on a separate territory.
3. Will the sauna with a terrace be used in the cold season. When used in the off-season, in winter, it is additionally necessary to equip the building with a cut-off vestibule. Cold air from the street will not get into the room.
4. Choose a layout based on the equipment for the bath: steam room size; a mini-pool, font or shower cabin will be installed to take a dip after the steam room. Layout options suggest the presence of a washing room, a bathroom, a rest room, a locker room, an entrance hall (cutting off the vestibule), and a bathroom. The toilet is usually made in the washroom. In order to place everything, you first need to make a drawing to scale.
5. Material possibilities determine the cost of building, selection of materials, overall dimensions of the building.

The bath is recommended to be placed on the leeward side. The smoke from the sauna stove, barbecue will not blow into the territory of the building, terraces. It is cozy to relax when the smoke does not enter the recreation area. When planning a bath, it is necessary to make calculations for the chimneys.It is correct when the bathing part of the building with the steam room faces south. The advantage of such an installation is the rapid heating of the building in the cold season.

The building is located on an elevated place to improve water flow. If this is not possible, raise the foundation.

If there is no centralized sewerage, drain hole do 5-6 meters from the bath. Laid out with bricks, poured with concrete around the perimeter.

The project of a two-story bath with a terrace 5 x 7 m

For an open terrace it is better to choose as floor covering paving slabs, terrace board. Materials are resistant to moisture, temperature extremes.

For year-round use, they make a closed veranda with glazing.

Sample projects

Small building 6 x 4 from profiled timber, boards with a canopy

The project of a small bathhouse with a small terrace, without a barbecue, can be placed on 20 sq.m. As a rule, this is a small rectangular building with bath rooms (a steam room, a washing room with a shower, a small dressing room) and a rest room.

In such a bath, a stove-heater is enough to heat the whole house and small room recreation. rectangular shape practical, provides uniform heating of the room from the inside.

Baths with a terrace from 35–40 m 2 - a complex that includes elements of a bath and recreation areas with a fairly spacious outdoor area. The terrace to the facade of the building can be attached to one of the walls later, if funds are limited, on a separate foundation.

In conditions limited space suburban area, coupled with the desire to build a full-fledged recreation complex, they are implementing projects for baths with an attic.

Project benefits:

• significantly increases the usable area, with a compact building
• the roof covers the terrace and the building at once
• the pipe from the steam room stove serves additional source heat for the attic floor
• on the second floor under the terrace, you can equip a balcony for relaxation, it will complement the architectural ensemble

Among best projects two-story baths with an attic, a spacious terrace, a barbecue. They act as a summer kitchen. In fact, it is a small cottage, a residential building. Interesting projects with a sliding glass wall between the rest room and the attached gazebo.

Another project of a bath with a terrace and big room rest 7.5 x 5.5 m

The ladder is often installed on the first floor in the rest room. On the second floor they make bedrooms, a billiard room. If there is a pool nearby, an artificial pond, it is appropriate to install sun loungers on the terrace.

Terrace, sauna room

In most bath projects, the terrace is traditionally located on the front side of the building, but not always. The most compact, ergonomic, in terms of space organization, corner one-story baths.

The covered terrace in the bathhouse is a place of comfort for relaxing after the steam room. They are covered with a common roof with a bath or a separate roof, with an adjoining. Lightweight, transparent polycarbonate is also used as a roof.

It is convenient to relax if you install a barbecue grill on the terrace. Mount a small kitchenette with a dining table, you get an outdoor dining room. It is desirable that a sink with a water supply be equipped. Need a place to store firewood. Decorate the bath terrace with flower arrangements in hanging pots.

The terrace in the bath is open and closed. To prolong the pleasure of using the terrace after the bath in the off-season, install removable double-glazed windows.

The rest room in the bath is equipped at its discretion. In the cold season, it can replace the terrace. Usually there are bathing equipment, a trestle bed for relaxation, a small couch, fits into the interior of the fireplace. From the rest room there are doors to the dressing room and working rooms of the bath.

Even if it is planned to implement a small bath project, within 20 square meters, it is necessary to make a foundation. The main function is the uniform distribution of the bearing load, which gives stability to the building. Manufacturing, the type of foundation depends on the type of soil, materials of the walls of the bath.

You can use the services of professional builders, designers who will make all the calculations. Calculate specifications the foundation of the bath can be done using an online calculator.

Types of foundation, based on the characteristics of the soil:

1. Tape type. Recommend for expanded soils, with the installation of a "cushion" of sand and gravel, reinforcement
2. On a sand and gravel cushion, erected on a columnar foundation, on clay, sandy soils
3. Piles are suitable for a lightweight type of baths, frame-type buildings on stable soils (sandy, rocky)

When erecting baths with a brick terrace, timber is installed strip foundation. Log cabins are mounted on a columnar base. Under the foundation, they make a “pillow” of layers of rubble, sand, ram them.

The marking of the strip foundation is done using a level, a hydraulic level. Install the formwork from the boards, but it is better to use high-density polystyrene foam. It also serves as a heater. Under the attic-type bath, you need to lay, tie the fittings. The metal frame is poured cement mortars with rubble.

The slab foundation is rarely installed, due to the specifics of buildings. Plates are mass-produced, standard sizes.

The loads on the foundation at the bathhouse, the terraces are different, the latter is a lightweight structure. It is not recommended to pour a common foundation. It is more correct to make a deformation seam between them. Then, with a slight subsidence different parts building reduces the likelihood of cracks, gaps. An extension (terrace) is also installed on poles, floor logs are laid, and insulated. Tiles are laid on top, a terrace board is laid.

Wall materials

The project of a bath with a terrace, a relaxation room - a corner of relaxation. Hence the desire to use environmentally friendly materials, wood, stone. In Russia, they built soap rooms with steam rooms made of wood - this is a typical Russian bathhouse. Traditions have been preserved in our time. The use of impregnations, protective agents increases the technical characteristics of natural materials, extends the service life.

Wall material options:

• log cabin for a bath: a log, chopped by hand; calibrated; rounded;
• bar: double; glued;
• brickwork;
• foam concrete and gas silicate blocks;
• frame construction, a clay bath.

The tree has whole line advantages, but also some disadvantages. It is necessary to periodically treat with protective equipment.

A somewhat exotic option for building a bath - a building made of clay, that is, from chopped firewood, sawn logs. They are laid out on a clay, cement base. Some projects from chopped, sawn firewood look very interesting.

Saunas with a terrace, barbecue from logs, timber

The construction of a bathhouse from logs chopped by hand is quite complicated. A suitable log must be cleaned of bark, dried (up to a year). Impregnate with agents that prevent the penetration of moisture, rotting wood. Then sort the logs, hollow out grooves in them for laying.

Due to discrepancies overall dimensions during installation, gaps may form that need to be caulked around the perimeter. The way to save your strength is to work with prepared material.

Calibrated rounded log - material that has passed all stages of preparation for construction, sizing, drying, processing. The finished material is immediately used for the construction of a bath with a terrace according to the project. But the cost of the material is higher.

Advantages of sauna log cabins:

• ecological cleanliness;
• aesthetic appeal;
• low thermal conductivity;
• no toxic emissions;
• vapor permeability;
• soundproofing;
• fast installation;
• therapeutic effect, in the process of heating, phytoncides are released;
• does not require interior decoration.

A bath with a terrace made of timber has all the advantages of log cabins made of calibrated material. Prepared building timber is fitted slats, boards, which are combined into a single array with the help of glue under pressure.

They have an almost perfect fit, so the possibility of cold air entering through the cracks is minimized, unlike a chopped log.

Among the disadvantages of wood baths:

• low refractoriness
• even after impregnation, wood can be attacked by carpenter insects
• when shrinking in the corners, cracks sometimes form

It is necessary to regularly protect the outer part of the log house from moisture. In the summer, dry, impregnate with compounds that prevent the absorption of moisture.

Brickwork

Brick is durable durable material, but hygroscopic, absorbs moisture. In conditions of improperly installed ventilation, waterproofing, there is a high risk of fungus formation. Bath time to warm up brickwork you need much more than for wood, due to the high thermal conductivity.

Keeps heat for a short time, additional heating is required. The thickness of the masonry is 25–38 cm, one and a half to two bricks. Inside, the steam room is trimmed with clapboard. It is attached to the rack frame with self-tapping screws. The best option for finishing the washroom is tile.

A brick bath will not be cheap. The material is heavy, the load on the foundation increases. When drawing up a project, it is necessary to take into account the heat loss of brickwork, to provide for external insulation of the layers.

Foam concrete, gas silicate blocks

Porous blocks, foam concrete, gas silicate - « golden mean", in terms of price and quality indicators.

Advantages:

• quick installation
• low thermal conductivity due to the presence of internal air pores

When choosing a bath project with a terrace, a veranda, a relaxation room, it is better to stay on foam blocks. Compared to gas silicate blocks, they have much lower hygroscopicity. Porous blocks have a small specific gravity, in comparison with bricks, even hollow ones.

Accordingly, the load on the foundation is less. From the outside, from the inside, it is necessary to veneer the walls with plaster.

Under a brick, block building, reinforcement strapping is made of metal bars for the foundation.

Frame baths with terrace and barbecue

Inexpensive frame type of buildings on a pilefoundation

The most cost-effective material for baths with a terrace. Installed on a pile foundation, light construction. Requires thorough waterproofing.

If the integrity of the waterproofing layer is violated, the insulation mats are saturated with moisture, which sharply reduces their thermal conductivity (basalt, mineral heaters). OSB facing boards swell and deform. Like wooden houses, materials have low fire safety.

On such columns set small baths with a terrace.

Heat and vapor barrier

The specificity of the baths is that in working area, steam room, washing high temperature and humidity. Previously, log walls were caulked with natural moss; it took several hours to warm up the room.

Currently, they are trying to minimize heat loss, to create the effect of a thermos, so that the bath warms up quickly, keeps warm. In addition, steam and waterproofing is needed so that the condensate does not penetrate deep into the materials of the walls, floor, ceiling, and quickly erode from there.

Floor insulation

As a heater under concrete screed in the steam room, washing use expanded clay. It is recommended to lay geotextiles on top of it. The advantage of expanded clay for warming baths with a terrace is that it easily passes moisture.

AT winter time expanded clay and concrete are cooled, the heat from the stove has time to warm only the upper layers of the floor. The optimal way out is the installation of the “warm floor” system, which allows you to quickly heat up the steam room of the bath, keep the heat inside.

Concrete floors, which are covered with waterproof boards, are recommended to be additionally opened with liquid rubber (at least two layers). A dense waterproofing film is formed.

Increases the effect of sliding water. If you do not carry out waterproofing of the floor in the working rooms of the bath, soapy water interspersed with fat and sweat clings to the roughness of the concrete coating. It is difficult to clean it.

Wall insulation

The heated steam from the stove rises to the ceiling, so there is the highest temperature. Traditionally, the walls of the steam room of the bath are sheathed with clapboard made of hardwood. Coniferous varieties of trees are not suitable, as resins are released when heated. Decorative lining is attached to rails.

In the process of heating, moisture, condensate penetrates into the gaps between the planks, accumulates in the cavity between the lining and the wall, ceiling. In order to prevent the penetration of moisture into the wall of the bath, a moisture-resistant barrier is installed on the path of condensate. Insulation is installed to prevent heat loss.

The construction market offers a range of insulation materials for moisture-resistant barriers and membranes. For projects of baths with a terrace, foil materials of a combined type are mainly used. They combine the properties of a heater and a vapor barrier.

The foil surface perfectly reflects thermal energy. The main rule when laying a heater, a vapor barrier is the elimination of butt joints, they will be connected with foil tape.

In the rest room, locker room, where the humidity and temperature are lower, it is possible to use other types of insulation, vapor-tight membranes.

It is not recommended to use moisture-resistant bitumen-based membranes in the steam room, washing, mineral, glass wool as a heater. In the composition they contain substances harmful to the body that can be released at high temperatures. The listed heaters are hygroscopic, in a wet state they increase thermal conductivity.

Ventilation device in baths with a terrace

Properly installed ventilation in the steam room, washing - guarantee of longevity finishing materials. If the room is quickly ventilated, quite normal circulation of air masses is ensured, moisture does not accumulate in the interstitial space. The tree does not deteriorate. Reduced to a minimum the possibility of the formation of fungus, mold.

Experts recommend making a small window in the steam room of the bath, located on the opposite wall from the door (40 x 40 cm), at the height of the door lintel. The second ventilation hole is punched below under the shelf (shelf in the steam room).

When the steam room is not in use, the doors and windows are opened, which ensures quick ventilation. Except natural ventilation mount forced, with built-in check valve so that cold air does not enter the room.

Roof

The cost of construction is affected by the design of the roof. The best value for money - single, double. The hip roof is suitable for attic structures. The terrace is covered with one roof with a bath, with a single truss system.

The step between the rafters is done according to the calculations of the project. For an adjoining, protruding terrace, erected later, rafters are installed separately, a crate under roofing. The site for the extension is planned, fenced off in advance.

As roofing material use: ruberoid, soft tiles, ondulin, professional sheet. It all depends on the design features of this project.

Sauna ovens with dry, wet steam

Sauna with a terrace, barbecue - a wonderful health complex on its site. Favorite place rest, where you can take a steam bath, then get some fresh air, arrange gatherings with friends, especially after a week of work, work in the garden, orchard.

Before proceeding with the development of a project for a bath with a terrace, a place for construction is determined, in accordance with the size of the site. Perhaps, during the construction of the house, a plot “for a bathhouse” was already allocated. Based on the size of the allotted area, choose an architectural project.

If you want a more spacious and functional room with a guest room, take a look at the design projects of a bath with a terrace and an attic floor. Think over the details of the location of the rooms, arrangement. Draw a schematic plan of the future building. Take as a basis standard projects with sauna, terrace, barbecue.

Construction companies offer an individual bath project with a terrace of different sizes. They will help to build, equip a bath with a terrace.

Assess the possibilities. Construction can be carried out in stages. For example, in the fall, lay the foundation so that it settles. Lay the main communications. In spring, summer, build walls, a roof. And on next year go to finishing. Attach the terrace later. It’s good when you can still install a pool, an artificial pond next to the bathhouse. It is good when the house is located on the shore of a natural reservoir.

It is desirable that a bath made of timber, logs stand for a season, so that the foundation and walls shrink.

Construction of a bathhouse with a terrace on a personal plot - the final chord of landscaping. A visit to the bathhouse with a good steam room, a spacious terrace for relaxation will restore health. This is a place where you can have a good time with family and friends.

Washing in your own bath cannot be classified as a banal hygiene procedure. This is a real pleasure, which is accompanied by a pleasant feast in the company of friends and a leisurely conversation. Therefore, when planning to build a small bathhouse on your site, do not miss the chance to make it truly comfortable and convenient.

In the warm season, after a hot steam room, I want to go out to Fresh air, get settled in easy chair and freeze in sweet languor.

Your vacation will not be overshadowed by weather vagaries if a sauna with a terrace under one roof is built on the site.

What should be its layout in order for water procedures to be optimally combined with relaxation, board games and cooking homemade meals, we will consider in more detail.

Bath layout options

It is advantageous to build a terrace (veranda) not as a separate structure, but under the same roof with a bathhouse. Therefore, at least one size (length or width) must be the same for them. The easiest way to implement this idea is as follows: the gable roof of the bath rests on the main wall with one side, and the other lies on the racks (columns) of the terrace.

The second step is to determine the usable area of ​​the terrace. It directly depends on the number of people visiting the bath at the same time. For a family of 4 people, 8 m2 is enough for comfortable seating at the table. If the company is more representative (6-8 people), then lay in the project at least 14 m2. Having determined the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe veranda, you can finally decide on which side of the bath it is best placed.

Along a narrow end wall optimally arranged small terrace. If you want to make a more spacious room, then it is better to make an open canopy along the wide side of the bath.

Another interesting option layout - placing a terrace between the bath and residential building. In this case, you do not have to look for a place to cook food or wait for the end of the downpour. Only in this case it is better to attach a bath with a veranda to the deaf side of the house so that the smoke from the stove pipe (when using solid fuel) did not fall into the windows of residential premises.

When considering the project of a bath with a terrace in terms of its internal layout, one must proceed from the external dimensions of the building. It is within this framework that you will have to “fit” all the premises: a dressing room, a bathroom, a shower, a steam room, a rest room and a terrace. You can save usable space by abandoning the rest room and shifting its functions to the veranda. However, in this case, in the cold season, you will have nowhere to relax after washing in the bath. Therefore, reserve at least 6-7 m2 for it.

If your plans do not include the construction of a full-length bath measuring 6 by 6 meters as in the figure above, then you can do otherwise: remove the rest room from the layout, glaze the terrace and make a barbecue oven in it.

For the autumn and spring seasons, the heat from such a hearth will be enough to create comfortable temperature. The external dimensions of the bath with a veranda in this case can be reduced to a minimum (4 by 4 meters), without losing in comfort and ease of use.

Options for adding rooms

In addition to the considered solutions with a relaxation room, a glazed veranda with a barbecue, the idea of ​​​​adding a bathhouse with an attic deserves attention. It significantly expands the usable area and makes it possible to equip a guest room, a small fireplace room or a billiard room under one roof.

To implement such a profitable idea, you need to provide a place for installing a narrow and not too steep staircase. It is not difficult to find him. It is enough to slightly increase the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe hallway (waiting room).

On the second floor near the bath, you can design a spacious balcony. To do this, the attic roof must be extended so that it covers the veranda.

The slope of the roof will take away part of the usable area from the second floor. Despite this, there will be enough space in the attic room for a recreation room with a billiard table. If desired, a light open fireplace with an exhaust hood can be installed here.

Photos of different options for baths

Having gained an understanding of the external layout and interior layout baths with terraces, you should look at their visual embodiment. This will help us more accurately determine the material for the new building.

In photo No. 1 we see a classic bathhouse made of rounded logs, covered with a gable roof made of metal. The roof covers not only the bathhouse, but also the terrace and balcony of the second floor.

Beautiful knitting of crowns serves as the main decoration of the facade. The only remark is the irrational use of the attic space. The gable roof takes a lot of usable space from the second-level rooms. In this respect, a broken roof is more profitable.

Photo number 2 shows an inexpensive and compact bath from a bar with a terrace. Nothing superfluous - the life credo of the owner of such a structure. inexpensive and quite sufficient for mounting walls made of wooden beam. Under the terrace, a strip foundation is not needed at all. Three concrete columns under the roof support posts and a frame made of timber is the most reasonable solution.

You can not cover the veranda with a common roof with a bath, but protect it with an ordinary flat canopy. Photo #3 shows appearance structures measuring 6 by 4 meters with a veranda located along a long wall. As we can see, there is enough space for dining table and a small barbecue grill.

When planning to build a bathhouse with a veranda, you can not invent complex options, but simply block it with a regular garden gazebo, as in photo No. 4.

A polycarbonate roof will not only reliably protect you from rain, but will also create a pleasant penumbra.

The bath can become the central building for the entire recreation area of ​​a country estate. In this case, the terrace should be really spacious and comfortable. To do this, it should be made as wide as possible or extended by unfolding it in the form of the letter "G".

In the far corner of the main log canopy, a summer oven with a compartment for frying shish kebabs and steaks is conveniently located.

Construction materials

Wood is the most popular material for building a bath with a terrace. Moreover, it can be not only an expensive profiled beam, but also an affordable rounded log.

Excellent bathing characteristics are achievable and inexpensive, provided that ecowool is used as a heater, and not polystyrene.

And aerated concrete is well suited for bath construction. These materials qualitatively solve the problem of insulation and do not require expensive finishing. An important condition for the durability of such a structure is good protection walls from moisture (deeply penetrating waterproofing and high-quality putty).

Brick is almost never used as the main material for walls today. But it is indispensable for the front decoration of the facade and looks good as a decorative fence of the terrace.

A lover of the original can be advised to build a round bath with a terrace. Two dump trucks of firewood, one clay truck and a wagon of hay are all the materials needed to build a unique and environmentally friendly structure.

What we are really proud of is the build quality. Our teams of carpenters have good experience in assembling saunas, we come to the construction site with complete set tools.

• Adjustable poles. On verandas and terraces, we use special adjustable poles, which gives an undeniable advantage in the shrinkage of the building. Any wooden bath subject to shrinkage (the timber can both take on water and dry), due to which distortions are possible. Thanks to the adjustment system, the posts can be adjusted to the required level. We install them by default, no additional fees are required for this!
• Beautiful balusters. As a rule, open terraces in baths and houses are decorated with carved balusters. We do not nail the glazing bead remaining from the construction instead of balusters - we use only materials intended for this, made in the conditions of the workshop. At the same time, we do not use clumsy work technologies - both preila and balusters will be nailed neatly, without cracks and ugly protruding nails.
• Open and closed terraces. If the project provides for a closed veranda, and you want an open one (or vice versa) - no problem. These changes are easily introduced into the project at the stage of discussion. You can also change the size of the takeaway, install benches and a table, and provide lighting.

Bath in the Russian tradition is not only water procedures, but also a type of leisure loved by many of our compatriots. It is nice to sit in the bathhouse with friends after a stressful working week, relax with the whole family, fully cleanse the pores of the body and relieve the accumulated psychological fatigue. In addition to joint recreation with tea parties and barbecues, men's and women's gatherings of interest are often arranged in the bathhouse. For example, it will be interesting for a male company to discuss their affairs, and women arrange whole cosmetic rituals in the bathhouse that are not inferior to spa salons.

To conduct such versatile leisure, it is necessary that the bathhouse, in addition to the steam room, washing and changing rooms, also has a spacious place to relax. Such a place can be a functional veranda, located under the same roof with a bath building.

Advantages of baths with a veranda

One of the main advantages is saving square meters of land. With a veranda attached to the bath, you can exclude additional buildings on the site, freeing up space for flower beds or horticultural crops. On the veranda there can be a summer kitchen, a gazebo, a barbecue area or a small pool.

Combining several functional facilities at once under one roof will significantly reduce the cost of construction and materials. A roof sheet for a combined building will cost less than for several structures. In addition, the construction of a bathhouse with a veranda will allow you to maintain a single design for the entire mini-complex.

From the point of view of convenience, such a mini-bath complex will allow you to spend full-fledged leisure time in one place, without going from building to building.

Building options

What will be the veranda attached to the bath depends on the taste of the customer, his financial capabilities and the availability of free space on the site. Architectural agencies offer a variety of finished projects for every taste, as well as help to develop a computer version on an individual request.

Even if you are going to build a bathhouse with a veranda with your own hands, viewing such a visual project will not be superfluous.

Consider the most common types of projects.

• Bath as a separate building. In this case, the veranda can be located on either side of the bath building or even along it. It all depends on the location of the bath itself and the intended functions of the veranda.

If the extension is located on the side of the building, then a small open or closed passage can lead to it. In the case of two-story buildings, the veranda can be located on the second floor, which will significantly save space on the site.

• Corner bath with a veranda- an example of compactness and spaciousness of the structure. It can occupy the darkest corner of the site, which is not used for planting. Thanks to the angular shape, there will be enough space inside the room to accommodate both the bath itself and the adjacent recreation area.

In addition, the corner location of the bath with a veranda can give a complete look to the architectural composition of the entire site.

• Bath attached to the house. This method of planning allows you to increase the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house, while reducing the development of the site itself. The veranda in this version of the building serves as an excellent resting place for two buildings at once - a house and a bathhouse. But it is worth remembering that this option requires additional costs for waterproofing and ventilation in order to avoid dampness in the house.

The standard and most successful parameters of the verandas are 3x6, 5x6, 4x8, 5x4 meters.

Types and forms of verandas

The veranda is covered summer annex to the house, in the classical version, having walls, window openings, a foundation and a roof. Verandas can be both open and closed.

Open verandas differ in that they can have only one wall from the side of the house and a roof. They are simpler in design and are a spacious porch with railings and supporting pillars. A closed veranda is a summer unheated rest room, protected by walls and windows from rain and wind.

When designing, it will not be superfluous to consider various forms of verandas. Instead of the traditional rectangular or square shape, you can choose semi-circular, oval or even triangular structures of the original design. Such a building will become an architectural highlight in the landscape design of the site and a non-standard place for gathering guests.

Project Options

• Classical bath with a veranda. A separate bath building will become a leisure center for the whole family, if a spacious veranda is included in the construction project in advance. Here you can arrange family celebrations, put sofas or wicker furniture, organize a barbecue or a billiard area.

• Double storey bath. In this option, the veranda can be narrow room, intended only for lifting to the second floor in the rest room. If this type of bath is intended primarily for leisure, then glazed veranda with a staircase leading to the second floor will decorate the site. For a rest room, it is not necessary to attach a full-fledged second floor, you can get by with a spacious attic under a shed roof and one attached wall above the bath.

A bath with a narrow veranda and an attic significantly saves square meters of the site.

• Bathhouse with summer kitchen. An excellent option for small plots or for owners who have not yet completed the construction of the main house. Such a bath is suitable for permanent residence in the summer and will contain all the necessary household items.

The summer kitchen is used for cooking and eating, the sauna room with a steam room is for water procedures. On the veranda-kitchen, you can organize a place to relax and sleep.

• Bath with a pool. Shower or douche cold water do not bring as much joy as the opportunity to plunge into the water immediately after the steam room. If there is no reservoir nearby, even the simplest container of water can provide such an opportunity. small size the pool can be installed directly in the recess of the veranda. The construction of a full-fledged pool of foam blocks is a technically complex task, requiring compliance with many nuances and development separate project. You can simplify the task by choosing a purchased plastic font for 10-20 square meters. meters.

On sale are plastic containers most different forms and sizes that can fit into any room. As a rule, they come with all the necessary accessories - shelves, stairs, rugs.

Veranda layout

Considering various projects of baths with a veranda, special attention should be paid to the location of the extension, its orientation to the cardinal points. The comfort and functionality of this room will depend on this. Decide on the main task of the veranda as a space for leisure. Please note that there will be too much sun on the south and southwest sides on the veranda, and this may be inconvenient for a comfortable pastime. At the same time, the south side for the veranda and the entrance to the bath will be a salvation from the northern winds and snow drifts in the winter season.

West-facing veranda windows provide longer solar lighting in the summer, because the bath is most often started in the evening.

To install a barbecue, determine the main direction of the winds in your area. It is desirable that the veranda be protected from gusts of wind by the structure of the bath.

Another important detail when choosing the location of the veranda is aesthetic perception. Resting on the veranda, it is better to admire the picturesque landscape than the view of the fence or outbuildings.

Construction of a building

As a rule, a veranda under the same roof with a bath is planned at the project stage, and the materials for it are chosen the same as for a bath. But this is not a prerequisite - one common roof and foundation is quite enough, but the veranda itself can be, for example, wooden against the background of a brick bath building.

It should be remembered that the extension of a veranda from another material is possible only for the transition from heavy to light materials. You can attach a light wooden structure to a brick bath, but not vice versa.

Another option is an extension to the already finished bath , for example, in a situation where the roof of a bath building needs repair and replacement. When planning to change the roof, you can at the same time expand the bath space by adding the construction of a veranda to the project.

The foundation for the veranda to the bath

Foundation laying is the most crucial moment of construction, on which the durability of the structure depends. Foundation laying work begins with determining the level ground water and the degree of soil heaving.

This is especially important if the veranda is being built after the construction of the bath, with a separate foundation. It happens that a few meters from the main foundation, the soil has a different structure and a close flow of water, and this can lead to erosion of the base and cracks in the walls.

The foundation for a veranda and a bath can be of several types.

• Tape- the most economical option, suitable for stable soil, withstands heavy structures well. The laying process consists in creating a trench around the perimeter of the proposed structure, mounting a simple formwork from improvised materials, laying the reinforcing frame and pouring the concrete mix. After the final hardening of the concrete, you can proceed to the construction of walls.
• Columnar. Ready-made concrete blocks or pillars of bricks are dug into a pit prepared in advance. A “pillow” of crushed stone and sand is lined at the bottom of the pit, the pillars are tightly compacted, and the lower part of the pillars is poured bituminous mastic. The pillars must be at the same level in height and stand no further than 2 meters from each other. The space between the pillars is covered with rubble. Further, as in the first case, concrete is poured.

• Pile. This method is suitable for problematic soils with high level ground water. Wells are drilled at the points planned by the project, waterproofing in the form of a ruberoid cone is laid, concrete is poured. On the surface, the piles are interconnected by a grillage - a reinforced concrete frame.
• Pile-screw. Another simple method involves screwing metal pipes with screw threads on the tips into the soil. It is important that the pipes are coated with an anti-corrosion compound.

floors

Laying the subfloor is done on a completely dry concrete base. It is best to use wood with a deformation gap, since this material tends to expand with temperature changes.

The tree must be treated with an antiseptic and water-repellent compounds. As a rule, the construction market offers many options for already impregnated and treated subfloor boards.

When choosing a finishing floor covering, attention should be paid to wear-resistant, frost-resistant and non-slip materials. The bathhouse is heated only during certain periods, and in the winter season it is subject to freezing. Ordinary wood can crack in cold weather, and tiles are not always suitable for baths due to increased slipperiness. The best option would be to choose a lining or terrace board from a certain type of wood, already treated with special compounds.

For open terraces, larch or pine wood is usually used. Due to its resinous properties, it does not rot and does not lose strength, which significantly extends the life of the floor. On sale there are also combined options based on wood and polymers.

If a place for a barbecue is planned on the veranda, it is necessary to make a base for the barbecue in advance, observing all fire safety rules, as when installing a stove in a bathhouse.

Walls

The frame of the veranda is erected on a finished foundation and may consist of various materials: prefabricated metal profiles, timber beams, foam blocks, building bricks. The choice of material largely depends on the type of veranda itself. For open type a fairly light frame made of wood, and a closed warm structure will require solid walls and insulation.

Often, verandas are glazed to the maximum or protected from the wind. and drafts with transparent polycarbonate. Window openings can completely replace walls in the manner of "French windows" from floor to ceiling, or erected partially, for example, starting from the railing at waist level. An interesting option is the glazing of part of the openings with stained glass mosaics. This gives the veranda an original look and protects from the direct rays of the summer sun.

In terms of quality, practicality, as well as aesthetic characteristics, a bathhouse made of wood beams practically does not differ in any way from a building made of rounded logs, but at the same time, the construction process is much simpler and does not require special skill.

A wooden bath is considered truly Russian, since once in Russia every building was erected without the use of nails, but as soundly as possible.

So, let's talk about the construction of a bath from a natural bar.

What are the criteria for choosing a beam for a steam room?

One of the significant stages in the construction of a bath is, of course, the choice of an array. After all, the characteristics of the bath directly depend on this.

First of all, pay special attention to the absence of any cracks in the logs, which, having expanded in the future, will cause defects and decay of the array during shrinkage.

In addition, there should be no blue highlights on the wood, indicating internal decay, which is associated with the presence of fungi.

It is not recommended to build a building from such material. In addition, the beam is defective if there is a wormhole on it.

Wherein good beam absolutely smooth. If there are defects, as well as various distortions, then this is not in the best way will affect the arrangement of crowns, respectively, the construction of a steam room can stretch for a long period of time.

There are several varieties of timber: solid, as well as profiled. The second option is equipped with spikes, grooves that are subject to grinding. Similar parts are easier to connect to each other.

The most important plus is the non-susceptibility of such walls to the adverse effects of moisture. As for the minuses, the material has a low degree of refractoriness, which means that it must be subjected to additional processing with propylene.

Solid timber is also used in construction. However, outwardly, it does not look attractive, so it is covered with siding.

Types of modern baths

Today there is a variety of types of modern baths, namely:

with attic

This is one of the most common options for a steam room with a mansard roof, as well as a veranda. In the upper part of the building there is a bedroom where you can comfortably relax after taking a bath.

And the veranda is a great place where you can drink a cup of fragrant tea.

with terrace

Are you going to build a barbecue in the country? Then build a steam room with a terrace where you can equip the stove directly. After the expiration of time, you can create a pond in front of the steam room.

with veranda

A bath with a spacious veranda is considered one of the simplest structures.

At the same time, it is preferable to glaze the veranda and use it as a summer recreation area, a kitchen space.

with a porch

Are you a true Russian banya fan? Then build it with a spacious porch, which is not only beautiful, but also as practical as possible.

small table, traditional samovar and the splendor of the surrounding nature.

With a veranda, as well as a spacious roof

Such a steam room is distinguished by great dignity - a covered veranda, as well as a wide attic area. In this option, you get a small foundation.

Foundation

A durable bath created from a bar can be erected on a strip or column foundation.

For the arrangement of the foundation of the tape type, formwork is built, poured concrete mix. Inside the foundation there will be a strip of sand or gravel.

A couple of weeks after the concrete has completely hardened, you can start laying the log house.

To create a columnar foundation, it is necessary to set up brick pillars, under each of which a concrete pillow is arranged to prevent subsidence.

However, no matter what type of foundation you prefer, it is important to strengthen it with reinforcement for durability.

Also, you can not do without a practical waterproofing created between the original crown and the base. For these purposes, molten bitumen is applied to the foundation surface, which is covered with an even roofing material layer. As soon as it hardens, the procedure must be repeated.

If you have decided to build a reliable and beautiful bath, then by all means get a project and, focusing on our recommendations, make your dreams come true.
