It’s good if, when installing the box, all the partitions are erected at once. But more often the room is divided after the roof is covered and windows and doors are installed. The partition in the bath between the steam room and the sink performs a very important function, so the approach to its manufacture must be very careful.
Material selection
The partition can be made from almost any building material that can withstand high temperatures, without highlighting harmful substances. It could be:
- Wood frame construction. This option is perfect for both a bathhouse assembled in the same way and for a brick building. It can be erected fairly quickly and is the easiest to insulate.
- From a log house. It is better to plan and install a partition of this kind during construction. This is important because it is necessary to carry out bandaging with the entire structure. Afterwards it is almost impossible to do this.
- Foam blocks and aerated concrete can be installed in brick buildings, as well as wooden ones, when the foundation for the partition was planned in advance.
- Made of brick. For these purposes, it is better to use red brick, which is fireproof and retains heat well.
- Made of glass. To do this, you will have to order a design for specific dimensions made of temperature-resistant material. This is the most effective option.
This type of partition is one of the best. Does not require additional care. There is also no need to carry out insulation, because... Wood itself is an excellent insulator.

Pay attention! For the “paw” joint, the procedure will be similar, except for the binding itself. Typically, blanks for this method of joining - blanks - are manufactured at initial stage for all logs. Next, a tip in the shape of a trapezoid is made on the log and a sample of the same shape is made on the beam that will be laid perpendicularly.
Frame
For this option you will need an edged board. Its size should be equal to the width of the future partition. It can be 200x100 mm, 200x150 mm, 150x100 mm, 100x50mm. The thicker the partition, the better the heat will be retained. In order to calculate how much material will be needed, it is necessary to calculate the perimeter of the partition. Next, add as many more supports as needed if they have to be placed in increments of 60 cm.

Pay attention! When choosing this method, you also get excellent sound insulation. This is achieved by tightly packing the insulation inside the wall.
Brick
Pay attention! As we have already said, you need to make a foundation for such a partition in advance.
It's better to stock up in advance required material. The masonry can be done in half a brick. This will save money and also reduce total weight the entire structure. It is desirable that the sand that will be used to prepare the solution be dry. This will help you calculate the ratio correctly and will promote good adhesion.

Pay attention! To prevent the wall above the doorway from collapsing, it is important to lay several reinforcement rods. It is desirable that its diameter be from 12 mm. Its length should be at least 20 cm greater than the width of the opening. It is necessary to wall it up in the seam.
Foam block, aerated concrete
A partition wall made of this material is built according to the brick principle, but it has its own nuances.
- When purchasing, choose a material whose sides are as smooth as possible, this will make the whole process easier for you.
- It is better to use a special glue for the solution, which is more flexible and dries faster. If you want to prepare it yourself, then the proportions will be 4:1; in addition to sand and cement, you will also need a plasticizer and a foam additive (they need 50 grams per batch).
- The first row is tried on without glue. If one of the blocks needs to be trimmed, then it is better to trim the two outer ones same size to get a good dressing.
- In the same way as in the previous case, dressing is carried out with load-bearing walls using reinforcement or metal plates.
- After two rows, a metal mesh is placed in the seam.
- The doorway and the partition above it are planned in the same way as in the previous version.
- Finishing is done using facing material or putty.
Pay attention! Be sure to provide ventilation in all rooms. This will help prevent the growth of fungus and mold. To do this you can put supply valves, which will overlap. You can also install anemostats into the ceiling and draw leads from them through the ceiling to the roof.
Now you know how to make a partition in a bathhouse. There are no barriers to trying to build it yourself.

The principle of arranging partitions in wooden buildings shown below:
The construction of the main structural elements of the bathhouse (external walls and partitions) is often carried out simultaneously.
But sometimes finished premises require division into functional areas after installation of the roof, windows and doors. In this case, an additional partition can be installed in the bathhouse, which will allow more rational and efficient use of the interior.
The need and features of constructing a partition
The partition is functional and decorative element any bath. This design has the following advantages:
- aesthetic appearance;
- strength, wear resistance and durability;
- high sound absorption rates;
- ease of installation;
- availability of materials for construction.
The choice of a suitable method for constructing a pier is determined design features baths In brick buildings, it is logical to build partitions from brick, in wooden baths - frame or timber.
The partition between the steam room and the dressing room has two main openings: a door and one for heating equipment.
Internal bath partitions are constructed from cinder blocks, brick, plaster, concrete and wood. They have a double or single design. To improve thermal insulation characteristics When installing the structure, a technological gap is provided for installing insulating and waterproofing material.
Important! Installation of the structure should be carried out before finishing flooring, observing fire safety rules.
Construction of a frame partition
Frame partition – best option For ready-made baths, built from logs. Installation includes pre-assembly wooden frame from beams or boards with a section of 5 × 5 cm.
For thermal insulation of the structure, a penoplex plate, basalt or mineral wool.
Construction technology frame partition with your own hands:
- Markings are made on the surfaces of walls and ceilings using a plumb line, cord or building level. Vertical straight lines are marked to indicate the middle of the structure.
- A wooden frame is assembled. Individual elements are fixed to the walls using tenons; holes for the tenons are drilled electric drill. To simplify the process, you can use self-tapping screws wooden base or nails without heads. The bars are fixed at a distance of 80 cm from each other.
- Boards or lining are mounted to the finished frame using nails without heads. The cladding is performed on both sides of the frame to increase the heat and sound insulation characteristics of the structure. The distance between the sides of the sheathing is filled with the selected insulation.
Important! The wood material for constructing the frame is pre-treated with antiseptics to prevent possible rotting and destruction. For decorative cladding It is worth using lining made of hardwood.
Construction of a brick partition
A brick partition is relevant for brick and stone baths. To obtain a lightweight structure, hollow bricks can be used for masonry.
The process of bricklaying the wall is carried out step by step:
- Marking is carried out to determine the boundary for the future partition.
- Preparation of materials and working tools. Kneaded masonry mortar cement-based (M 400 or 500), construction sand with the addition of water. First they mix bulk materials with gradual introduction of water. The proportions of the components are 1: 3 (for 1 part cement 3 parts sand).
- A string is stretched along the drawn line to maintain an even plane of order. The laying starts from the wall, a small part of the cement mortar is applied to the base of the floor and the first one is laid brick row. To increase the strength of the structure, metal strips and reinforcement are used in the process.
- The first row is treated with a connecting solution, on which the next row is laid.
- All rows of the structure are laid in a similar manner. A wide metal strip or reinforcing rod along the entire length is installed above the doorway, after which the brickwork continues to the ceiling.
Decorative finishing brick wall performed with plaster after the masonry mortar has completely dried.
Construction of partitions from foam blocks
IN brick bath the partition between the steam room and the relaxation room can be made of foam blocks - a material that is more accessible to install and use.
The significant advantages of the blocks are:
- low weight compared to brick;
- large dimensions, thanks to which the construction of the structure is completed faster;
- convenience and ease of installation;
- low cost.
The technology for installing the material is similar to brickwork and involves the following stages of work:
- The preparatory stage is carried out in the same way as in the previous version. Carrying out the necessary markings, fixing the cord to determine the contours of the future structure.
- Initial masonry block series dry. If necessary, the blocks can be cut with a grinder or a hacksaw to obtain the required width.
- For connection individual elements a special adhesive solution for foam blocks is used, prepared according to the instructions.
- The adhesive mixture is applied evenly in a thin layer, after which the foam blocks are installed in a row. For additional structural strength and reliable connection to the walls, reinforcing rods or nails up to 6 cm long are used. They are installed in holes previously prepared in the wall.
- After the partition has been erected to the upper level of the doorway, several reinforcing bars are installed above it along its entire length as a base, after which the blocks are laid up to the ceiling.
The same adhesive mixture is suitable for plastering foam blocks. After drying, the wall is primed and puttied. As decorative material used coloring composition or ceramic tiles.
Features of a wooden partition
The partition in the bath between the steam room and the sink is the simplest and affordable option designs that require minimal time and money investments.
To ensure sufficient thermal insulation between the washing room and the steam room, it is better to build partitions from a wide board or timber. This design does not provide for the presence of technological gaps in the inner part of the wall, which helps prevent the accumulation of excess moisture in the room.
In this case, the refusal to use a heat-insulating layer in the walls is explained by the fact that during operation the bath structure requires maximum heat accumulation in all functional rooms. Since the wash compartment maintains more low temperature heating the air, the lack of heat is compensated by the heated steam room.
Features of glass partition
IN wooden bath glass partitions can be installed that are durable, aesthetic and functional. Such designs provide heat maintenance, are durable, easy to install and operate.
The walls are erected near the stove due to the fact that they are made of tempered glass high strength. This material is resistant to deformation, overheating and mechanical damage.
The following types of glass partitions are used in the steam room:
- stationary;
- compartment;
- radius;
- hanging;
- folding;
- transforming.
Compared to traditional partitions, glass structures are heavier and require a supporting frame. When constructing partitions, they use various techniques surface decoration: laser engraving, photo printing, stencil, sandblasting and stained glass applique.
Glass structures have the following advantages:
- aesthetics and attractiveness;
- resistance to temperature changes and high humidity;
- long service life;
- fire safety and environmental friendliness of the material;
- the possibility of visual zoning of premises;
- variety of styles and colors;
- ease of installation.
Serious disadvantage glass products is the formation of condensation in conditions of high humidity. It is especially harmful for retractable mechanisms, with which the frame is equipped.
To protect against high humidity, it is recommended to use silicone-based impregnating compounds. The high cost of manufacturing the partition is also considered a significant disadvantage, which is compensated by the quality and durability of the structure.
The construction of various partitions in a bathhouse made of logs, bricks or foam blocks is a serious and labor-intensive process that requires technical knowledge and skills. But subject to careful study of the information on how to make a partition, even a novice master will be able to correctly perform installation work.
At all times, the partition in the bathhouse between the steam room and the sink was the element without which the entire ritual of bathing would turn into something more ordinary. Its installation is carried out on different stages. You can make a partition both during the construction of the bathhouse itself, integrating it into the overall project, and during the reconstruction period.
Brick wall and its insulation
In a brick bathhouse, the partition can be laid out from the base material. But it is necessary to take into account that brick has a fairly high heat capacity and a high heat transfer coefficient. This means that the partition itself inside the bathhouse will be constantly hot (it’s easy to get burned) and the heat loss in the steam room will also be impressive. Therefore, the structure should be insulated as much as possible.
On the steam room side, the partition will need to be sheathed with a vapor barrier, and a material with low thermal conductivity will be laid on top of it. This may be cladding made of hardwood. To secure it in the upper and lower parts of the partition, it is recommended to install wooden blocks.
![](https://i2.wp.com/postroystenu.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/cimg9740-600x450.jpg)
First, using a hammer drill, make holes in the walls along the line of the intended fastening, then mount the bars, securing them with anchors. The space between them is filled with a heat insulator, on top of which a reflective screen for infrared rays can be placed. It could be foil or special material. After this, we cover the wall with clapboard. Resinous wood ( coniferous species) should not be used in a steam room: when heated and under the influence of humid air, phytoncides begin to be released from it. For an absolutely healthy person, this will only be beneficial, but with the slightest allergy, such a substance can cause an exacerbation of the disease.
It is recommended to finish the part of the wall that borders the sink with any moisture-resistant material. It can be plaster, ceramic tiles, textured or structural plaster or the same wood, impregnated with an antiseptic and coated with several layers of varnish.
Wall in a wooden bath
Modern baths are rarely made of brick: natural wood is increasingly used in construction. It's practical and not expensive. In such a bathhouse, make a partition with your own hands frame type can be done with minimal costs and to install it you will need:
- wooden blocks;
- insulation and vapor barrier;
- edged board;
- hacksaw;
- hammer and nails (finishing);
- skirting boards (preferably wooden);
- hammer drill and pieces of reinforcement;
- roulette;
- building level.
![](https://i0.wp.com/postroystenu.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/51d162f3036c7a4d5e379956c3bf3959.jpg)
First, make markings in the upper and lower parts of the bathhouse, along which the partition will be installed in the future. Make sure that both lines are in the same plane, perpendicular to the floor. You can ideally make markup using laser level, but even an ordinary plumb line in skillful hands will allow you to do everything accurately. Try to take measurements at several points and different heights. Once you are sure of the accuracy of the markings, you can place wooden blocks along the perimeter along the existing lines, securing them to the walls, ceiling and floor. They are secured on top either with nails or anchors. In the lower part, it is recommended to place it on reinforcement studs, which are pressed into the concrete floor or load-bearing beam.
Part of the partition in the bathhouse from the side washing department you can sew it up right away edged board. And then you need to fill the space between wooden walls(for the width of the bar) hydro and vapor barrier, insulation. The named materials must be placed in the sequence described above towards the sink. This will ensure their protection from moisture and vapors. Most craftsmen suggest laying hydro and vapor insulators on both sides of the insulation. It will cost more money, but you will have much greater confidence in the durability of the partition in the bathhouse.
The bath includes several separate rooms which are separated by partitions. Thus, the partition in the bath between the steam room and the sink can be made of different materials. The installation method directly depends on the selected building material. This article will discuss some options for arranging partitions, as well as technologies for their installation.
There are several types of baths that are considered wooden:
- Made from rounded logs.
The partition in a log bath can be made using five-wall log technology. However, this will require a large amount of money and the help of qualified specialists. If this is not possible, you can make a partition from brick, gas blocks, etc.
Although we will consider different technologies making a partition between the steam room and the washing room, the priority option in a wooden bath is a partition made of wood, but on the other hand, made of brick, it will be more durable and less susceptible to negative influence moisture.
A frame partition means a structure made of a wooden frame, which is insulated with mineral wool and covered with clapboard. The partition is mounted on a concrete curb. The process of installing a frame partition consists of several stages. Next, each stage will be considered in detail.
The first step is to make a border. Its height should be 100 mm and width 125 mm. This border is needed to strengthen the structure, as well as to lay it along ceramic tiles. It will completely isolate the tree from water. The threshold is made when pouring the screed (if the floor is concrete). You can also do this work during the installation of the partition. To do this, install formwork from boards. It is important not to forget about the presence of a doorway, according to the standard 940 mm. The base is treated with a deep penetration primer for better adhesion. To ensure that the poured border is not damaged, before pouring, drill holes inside the formwork and hammer in small pieces of wire or screw in dowels 1/2. When the poured concrete has dried, it is necessary to lay two layers of roofing material on top.
At the very beginning preparatory work take a chainsaw and cut a groove measuring 4x21.5 cm in the walls. The height will depend on the room, but usually it is 250 cm.
At this stage, blanks for the base of the frame are first made. The dimensions should be as follows:
- 6x10x210 cm;
- 6×10×176 cm.
Drill holes in the blanks for anchors and lay the bars on the curb. So, the base of the partition is fixed to the floor with anchors. On average, each workpiece will require 3 anchors. Side racks are mounted in longitudinal grooves made in the walls and screwed with screws. After this, you need to make a supporting frame for the structure. Place the outer stands, the size of which is 6x10x235 cm, on the base and secure with screws. Be sure to place a washer under each screw!
It is better to make the grooves in the racks longitudinal and oval. Due to this, the frame will not interfere with the shrinkage of the log house. The screws will slide along with the walls. As a result, there will be no interference during shrinkage of the log house. And the frame will also not be under load.
It's time to design the doorway. For the frame, place two vertical posts measuring 6x10x206 cm. Secure the frame frame with jumpers using self-tapping screws. As for the top beam of the frame, at the top it is necessary to leave a gap of 30 mm between the ceiling. Due to this, the expansion or settlement of the log house will be compensated. For this reason, the side grooves in the walls are made to their full height.
The frame dimensions must be accurate. After all, the quality of the entire partition will depend on this. Therefore, before fixing this or that element, check the horizontal, vertical and dimensional conformity.
As for thermal insulation, you can use 10 cm thick mineral wool. Cells of 120×60 cm should be made in the frame. This size corresponds to the standard size of mineral wool slabs. The cotton wool is covered with polyethylene on both sides. It is secured with a stapler. These actions achieve several goals at once:
- Protection against moisture penetration.
- Thermal insulation.
- Noise insulation.
At the final stage of manufacturing the frame partition, the lining is attached to the sheathing (the sheathing is made from 2.5x5 cm beams). The lathing can be secured on top of the film and secured with self-tapping screws to the frame.
If the resulting opening measures 82x206 cm, then the frame should be 80x205 cm. So, there will be a 1 cm gap on each side. When the frame is installed, fill all the gaps polyurethane foam. Cut off the excess frozen foam with a construction knife.
Considering the fact that the standard frame has a width of 11.5 cm, open part the opening should be covered with a planed board measuring 60x30 mm. It is very important that the plane of the outer edge of the lining matches the outer edges of the boards.
When the partition frame is ready, the washing room should be tiled. Although this process can be performed after laying the lining. Installation of the lining is very simple using the tongue-and-groove technology. The lower beam of the sheathing from the sink side is attached to the curb, and from the steam room to the floor. It only needs to be attached to vertical posts. The lining is attached to the sheathing using clamps.
The gap between the ceiling and the frame partition can be filled with any thermal insulation material. At the end of the work, it is also recommended to close each screw with wooden pins of a suitable size.
Skirting boards, trim and final finishing
This is the technology used to install a frame partition between the steam room and the washing room. If you follow it step by step, you will succeed.
Another method of separating the steam room and washing room is to build a brick partition. There are two ways to lay bricks:
- Spoon masonry in 1/2 brick.
- A whole brick.
Considering the weight of the brick, the partition will be very massive. Therefore, to reduce the weight of the structure, use hollow bricks.
Below will be given detailed instructions how to make a brick partition.
Preparation
The first step is to do all the preparatory work. You should start with work surface. It is necessary to remove all plank elements from the floor, right down to the foundation. Sweep the base with a broom and wet it. It is also necessary to equip workroom good lighting. Extra items should be taken out. At the end of the preparatory work, you outline the contours of the future structure.
To work with cement mortar, you will need:
- grinding machine;
- sieve;
- shovel;
- mixing container.
So, first you sift the sand from foreign objects. The mesh should have small cells. Next, place the container for mixing the solution so that it has a stable base. Mixing ratio 3:1. To prevent the solution from drying out, make a small batch, for example, two buckets of cement and six buckets of sand. It must be mixed with water. This volume of solution will be enough for you to work for an hour. The consistency of the mixture should resemble thick sour cream.
During work, the solution tends to shrink and harden. Don't rush to add water. It is enough to stir every 10–15 minutes.
For construction you will need the following set of tools:
- level;
- plumb line;
- rule;
- trowel;
- pick.
The entire work process follows this scenario:
- Stretch the rope as a guide. Lay out the solution and use a trowel to level it. It takes some time for it to set.
- Place a second layer on top of it and begin laying the first row of bricks.
- Place the first brick against the wall. Apply the solution to its end part and press it against the wall. By taut rope level the brick by lightly tapping it. Immediately remove excess solution.
- When laying brick, you immediately need to decide where the doorway will be. It must be installed immediately. It should be leveled and only then covered with bricks.
- The brick should be laid close to the box. For ligation with the frame, you can use metal plates or reinforcement. One end is screwed to the frame, and the other between the brick row.
When the first row is ready, the subsequent ones are laid according to this principle. Be sure to check each row for level.
The use of a dressing is important. In this case, the existing load will be evenly distributed, and the partition itself will be quite strong. To further strengthen the masonry, place reinforcement or metal strips in the seam every five rows.
A similar connection must be made to the wall. Above door frame a channel for reinforcement is installed. Fill the gap between the ceiling and the last row of masonry with scrap bricks and mortar. As you can see, there are no special secrets when building a brick partition. All the work can be done with your own hands. The only thing you need to consider is a few important nuances:
- If you do not plan to plaster the wall, then the quality of the masonry should be appropriate. If plaster is applied, then it is important to follow only vertical level walls.
- If the wall is to be plastered, craftsmen often use used bricks. This reduces several times financial costs for the purchase of material.
- If you plan to carry out certain communications through the partition, then you can install a small section of plastic pipe. Its diameter must correspond to the actual need. In this case, there is no need to cover the pipe with solution; you just need to blow it out with foam. This is important, because after a while something may change and thanks to this the structure of the wall will not be disturbed.
This one is very popular building material like foam block or aerated concrete. A partition made of foam block is made much faster, unlike brick. Standard size one block is 300×600 mm. As for the thickness, here large selection. As a rule, blocks with a thickness of 75, 100 and 150 mm are chosen for the construction of partitions.
Depending on the thickness of the foam block, the price will vary. Therefore, to calculate your budget, think about this nuance in advance.
The process of manufacturing a partition from aerated concrete has several successive stages, compliance with which will help you complete all the work yourself.
Marking
Also, as in the case with brickwork, the floor and walls should be prepared. Next, mark the doorway and pull the cord. In accordance with the markings without mortar, lay out the first row and, if necessary, cut the block to size. Afterwards, you remove the blocks and waterproof the masonry site.
You can cut foam blocks with a grinder or a hacksaw. If these tools are not available, a regular hacksaw will do.
Special glue is used for laying gas blocks. The glue is mixed using an electric drill with a mixer attachment. Apply the adhesive mixture to the blocks in a layer of 3 mm. Next, install the block and lightly tap it. Be sure to check the vertical/horizontal level. For better strength, move the block 1/2 and start the second row of masonry. When connecting the partition to the wall, perform a bandage, just as in the case of brickwork. To do this, make holes in the wall up to 5 cm, and place the blocks directly on them. This dressing can be done every 4-5 rows.
Before laying the last row, lay out reinforcement Ø1.6 cm along the entire length of the partition. On top of it is a layer of glue and the last row of blocks to the ceiling. This will serve as a kind of armored belt.
Before plastering, carry out all necessary communications. Next, install the beacons and perform plastering. As a solution, you can use the same mixture as for masonry. When the plaster has dried, the surface is puttied and painted or covered with decorative tiles.
By observing this simple diagram, you won't have any special problems. Please note the following useful tips:
- When buying blocks, pay attention to the quality of the product. The smoother they are, the easier it will be to process them.
- The density of the blocks does not matter. The size of the blocks depends on the specific room.
- It is better to buy those blocks whose production is based on cutting.
- To increase the density of the masonry, wet the blocks before laying.
- To avoid a vertical seam, offset each row by 1/2 block.
- Leave a small gap between the partition and the wall and fill it with foam.
Glass partition
For beginners, installation glass partition no easy task. If you decide to use glass blocks, then their installation is carried out using mortar or liquid nails. Glass partitions are also installed in modular cells.
If you decide to lay a glass partition according to the brick laying principle, then the work looks like this:
- Clean the base of the floor from dirt, dust and debris. Level the floor and, if necessary, perform a small screed.
- Lay out the first row of glass blocks strictly according to the level. To ensure that the seams are the same, place a plastic cross in each seam.
- Reinforce the masonry vertically and horizontally, every 2 rows, with iron rods Ø6 mm.
As for the method of installing a glass partition in cellular grilles, everything is much simpler here. Cells can be made of wood, MDF and plastic. They are attached to the ceiling, wall and floor. The blocks themselves are installed on a sealant, the base of which should be rubber.
So we've looked at possible options making a partition between the steam room and the washing room. If you have carried out such work, then share your experience with our readers by leaving comments at the end of this article.
Video
From the video provided, you can learn about some of the details of finishing the steam room:
A bathhouse is a building in which a person relaxes. It may consist of several rooms (steam room, small room, wardrobe, bathroom, shower). If the bathhouse is being built anew, then all rooms are separated at once.
In the case when the bathhouse is made indoors, and you need to divide the room into a steam room and a room, then it is necessary to install partitions. The material for the partition can be processed timber.
Partitions in the bathhouse are made to separate the rooms according to their intended purpose. The steam room is separated from the main relaxation room, as well as a wardrobe and a bathroom. Partitions can be done from wooden beams, bricks, metal profiles.
The most reliable material for partitions is a brick. Such partitions have high strength and resistance to mechanical loads. The only difficulty when laying brick partitions is stirring the mortar, preparing the bricks, and plastering the surface.
So this way turns into labor-intensive work. In addition, after installing the partition, it takes time for the solution to set firmly until it dries completely.
The most common way to install a partition in a bathhouse is wooden beam . A frame made of timber will allow you to quickly mount the base of the partition. Frame jumpers are installed every 50 cm.
First, install the guide beam at the top and bottom, and then attach the jumpers. Space between beams filled with insulation(basalt wool, mineral wool), then lay a layer of foil reflector. After installing the insulation elements, the frame is sewn up wooden clapboard from deciduous wood (linden, aspen, cedar).
Insulation of bathhouse walls is an integral element of the design of partitions and walls. Bath insulation necessary to maintain existing temperature regime in the steam room.
As insulation acts rolled mineral wool elements, basalt wool, polystyrene foam squares, polyurethane foam rectangular slabs.
The most reliable of insulation for internal partitions baths is polyurethane foam. It is, accordingly, the most expensive. It contains a two-component substance that allows maximum retention of heat in the room and prevents the entry of cold from the external environment.
The cheapest method of insulation The partition in the bathhouse is mineral wool. It is sold in rolls and fits tightly between the partitions. For rooms with high humidity mineral wool is not very suitable. More often they use ecowool with a special coating.
Also used for vapor barrier foil mineral wool, which is laid on the insulation and attached to the frame.
After the construction of the bathhouse, it becomes necessary to process protective equipment . Temperature changes are always characteristic of a bathhouse. Especially if the bathhouse or steam room is located indoors at home.
This ideal conditions for the proliferation of fungi, the spread of mold and other processes of wood rotting. In this regard, all surfaces of the steam room and bathhouse in general need processing.
Treatment of bathhouse premises is carried out using antiseptic substances. In general, there are many means and substances with which all surfaces are treated, including shelves, sun loungers, and other bath accessories made of wood.
When processing a bath can be used:
- Acrylic protectants and coatings;
- Before purchasing a lining or sun loungers, you need to inquire about the material. Ideal option for the bath it will be one that is dried in special chambers. It is less susceptible to influence different insects and wood bugs that spoil the tree;
- Spirit wax solution. This processing method is considered the most environmentally friendly;
- The most available funds processing: impregnation and oils on natural basis. Such substances completely eliminate damage to steam room materials due to exposure to temperature changes;
- Indoor bathhouse is required there must be ventilation.
