Interior finish bath: steam room, shower and relaxation room

Arrangement of the bath complex requires proper attention to the most minor nuances. The bath will turn into an ideal place for rest only after careful study of the theoretical part and sequence of actions. And doing the work with your own hands will only strengthen the positive effect of getting bath procedures.

The main feature of the Russian bath is wet steam. To create it, a certain humidity is maintained in the steam room. Humidity and steam balance is achieved by the complete absence of ventilation.

Options for finishing bath facilities a huge amount. The choice depends on personal preferences and is limited by financial possibilities. Features of interior decoration traditionally should have to rest and spiritual pleasure. Therefore, the main thing in the decoration of rooms is naturalness, convenience, minimalism.

Additional materials should not adversely affect the basic requirements for the bath:

• steam room, shower room, rest room should have a beautiful and practical design;
• in the steam room, the presence of hot but not scalding steam is important;
• in the shower is important and convenience, and safety.

Properly selected materials will have a positive impact on the functional features of the bath. They will also affect the duration of the walls, floor, ceiling of the premises. It is important to choose materials in the desired quality in accordance with the characteristics of the bath rooms.

Many materials can not withstand such an extreme situation. However, the modern market offers a lot of interesting finishing options,which best suits the conditions of the steam room.

Features finishes for the steam room should be as follows:

• have the ability to warm up and not accumulate heat;
• be moisture resistant;
• have good aesthetic characteristics;
• resistant to mold and mildew;
• have the ability to clean the air.

The washing room involves not only washing, but also rest. The classic choice is wood, ceramic tile. For washing, for example, suitable coniferous wood. She has high water repellency. In addition, conifers have a beautiful appearance. The floor in this room should have anti-slip properties, as well as a comfortable temperature. To help in achieving the result can tile ceramics.

As a reliable material for the vestibule and rest rooms, you can choose:

• ceramic granite;
• plaster;
• natural stone;
• wallpaper.

Traditional decoration inside the bath of wood.The most suitable wooden base for decoration - lining.

These special finishing panels have the main advantages:

• good air circulation;
• zero condensate;
• beautiful appearance;
• simple installation;
• acceptable price.

The best starting material for lining are: larch, linden, alder, ash. The walls of hardwood warms up faster, while the external temperature of the walls remains comfortable for human skin.

Unlike conifers, hardwood does not emit tar, so they are considered harmless for decorating the walls of the steam room.

Options for the type of finish "lining" different class. For example, class C has a low cost, suitable for wall tambour. Class B is equipped with contrasting patches, cracks, minor damage. Every 1.5 meters of the length of such a wall panel suggests the presence of a certain number of knots. Lining is suitable for the design of a rest room in natural style,and also for the vestibule.

Class A lining allows for some small cracks. However, it does not allow visible cores on the cut. At 1.5 meters in length there may be at least one knot. Class A lining is suitable for finishing the walls of some sections of the steam room.

Premium clapboard has excellent appearancebut the corresponding price. The material can revet the walls of the steam room, rest room, washing. Excellent decoration of the walls will serve as a lime slab. The material does not allow overheating, does not emit tar. Linden panels will serve as high-quality sound insulation, you can add them to unedged board.

Apply basalt mineral wool, a foil in the form of a film to vapor barrier of a steam room. Foil sheathe and walls and ceiling for waterproofing. In order to isolate the furnace in the steam room, it is permissible to use for finishing bricks and salt.

Ceiling-related work begins with the installation of insulation in the attic.To prevent dust from entering the room, all the gaps between the boards must be covered. As a material of a heater use a brick crumb, other loose options.

The ceiling of the bath must withstand temperature loads. Finishing materials must resist steam flows. Do not choose to finish the ceiling materials that emit toxic substances when heated.

Construction bases that are relevant to the ceiling of the bath are bars of spruce or pine for beams and ceilings, unedged board or tongue for the first ceiling, lining of lindens of class A or B - the ceiling lining inside. Aluminum foil, membrane films can be used for vapor barrier, membrane films for waterproofing. Sheathe steam can be linden with a bast.

The optimal choice for the floor of all bath rooms, except for the steam room - ceramic tiles. A tile block in a steam room may be present near the stove. A variety of modern collections without any difficulty will allow you to choose the right design for a rest room or washing room. At the same time finishing tiles will not only be comfortable and aesthetic, but also practical and durable.

The floor of the steam room can be made of concrete or wood. Concrete or stone floors are cold. Therefore, more often preferred tree. Wooden floors involve the preparation of the foundation on which the beams are laid, lags are laid on top of them. The voids between the beams and the lags are filled with insulation, which is chosen as expanded clay. A vapor barrier and waterproofing are laid over the insulation, then the finishing floor is fitted.

Concrete floor involves the arrangement of the base of gravel and clay. Roofing material and bituminous mastic serve as waterproofing. Insulation may be mineral wool or expanded clay. The finishing layer of the floor is laid on the insulating surface.

Russian bath - an oasis of national country music.Printed simple curtains on the windows, pictures made with their own hands are appropriate here. Often in the bath embodies the hunting style, other options for natural design.

Especially design in the steam room will look like combinations of such finishing materials as wall paneling and stone, brick and granite slabs, block house. In addition to beauty, the interior of the steam room must carry absolute security. Therefore, the design of a steam room is often a compromise of choice. In the sauna room, strict curvature of the shelves, hidden light, and a noble stone behind the stove are effective.

If a separate room is available in the bath for guests, then all the attention is in the design for comfort. In the first place here is all the same naturalness. In the design is appropriate and curtains with flounces, and strict blinds on the windows. This bath room is usually compact, but light.

Modern bath involves the arrangement of the washing room. Here is allowed to install a full plumbing. Often this place is a pool of unimaginable forms. In the absence of space for the arrangement of the pool in the washroom arranged shower. Stylish modern showers and places will not take much, and in the interior of the bath will fit well. For the shower, it is not necessary to allocate a separate room.

Internal washing in the Russian bath was equipped around the stove, in the steam room. Simple wash basins and dippers served as washing objects. Taking into account the possibilities of modern materials, all this can be embodied in the current bath houses.

The design of the bath can be interconnected with the personal perception of colors and their combinations. This feature depends on the physiological structure of the eyes, the state of the nerves, and life experience. Psychologists say that for women color is more important than form, and for men content is more important. At the same time, a person has the ability to associate something with something all the time.

The basis of the Russian bath is a stove. The best materials for the heater - natural stones, bricks.

An edged board is allowed for floor installation, and the work itself includes several stages.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Disposal of all rubbish, leveling the base.
2. Preparation of a coupler from concrete. This stage can be skipped if the rough base is already sufficiently aligned. The base is allowed to fall asleep with sand.
3. The laying of the bases from a brick which will be a support for a log. The height of the bases of brick is equal to the height of the flooring.
4. Attachment lag to the posts. Lags - boards with a section of 25x25 in 100 cm steps.
5. Laying floor boards. Works should be started from a corner in the room relative to the doorway. For fasteners fit screws. It is important when screwing the cap completely drown in wood.
6. The floor structure should include a drain.

After laying the flooring is done. For plating mounted frame base. Frame material - timber or simple slats. It is important to consider the level of load.For example, shelves are often attached to the walls, the slats will not stand them. The direction of the framework should be perpendicular to the paneling.

Guidelines for the stages of work:

1. Install the initial and last rail on the wall with screws. The pitch of the guides is selected in accordance with the dimensions of the insulating materials.
2. Strengthen the waterproofing material over the frame.
3. Start working with insulation (for example, mineral wool).
4. Lay a layer of vapor barrier. Separate sheets of material are better attached with a construction stapler.
5. Proceed to the arrangement of the wall paneling, starting from the far section of the room.

After plating verticals go to the ceiling work. Lining is also allowed for the ceiling. An edged board or timber can be used as a frame. The pitch of the frame corresponds to the size of the insulation plates. The frame is installed similarly to the walls.

Phased instructions:

1. Attach a layer of water-repellent backing over the frame.
2. Next, fill the gaps with insulation (for example, basalt wool).
3. Align the plates carefully.
4. On top of the insulation, mount the vapor barrier layer using a construction stapler. Provide an overlap of 20-30 cm.Glue the joints with aluminum tape.
5. Go to the installation of the wall paneling.

Installation of benches in the bath should be carried out at a sufficient distance from the heater. It is important to maintain a comfortable distance for a person. For example, before the stove it should be at least 50 cm. There should be a gap of up to one meter between the floor of the bath and the upper shelf.

How to carry out finishing of a sweating room, look in the following video.

It’s right to start creating a bath decoration project when it has already been erected and all rooms are distributed. Since it is more convenient when choosing materials to rely on well-known data on the area of ​​the premises of the bath.

For a particular room, you can create several options, so there will be a choice. Determine the best option, and only then do counting the footage of the necessary finishing bases. Do not forget that in addition to the finishing bases, you need hydro, steam and thermal insulation. Decide on lighting fixtures. They should be safe for the bath, but bright enough.

Observe the sequence of finishing activities:

• Installation of electrical wiring. Wires are passed through hydro and vapor insulation.
• Determination of the place for the furnace. Its finishing is made taking into account fireproof technologies.
• Install crates on the walls and ceiling, fix the first layer of vapor barrier.
• Install insulation. Choosing materials that are least responsive to elevated temperatures and humidity.
• Place a second layer of vapor barrier over the insulation.
• Secure the foil or other material with reflective properties.
• Arrange the base and walls for the stove.
• Lay out the floor.
• Install the box and the door.

When installing electricity, consider the uniform distribution of devices in all rooms of the bath. Lighting should be sealed, better if protected from humidity lamps. As a protection can serve as wooden ceiling-screen. They will keep the overall natural style and dim the bright light of the lamps.
