Bath: layout and amazing solutions for compact buildings. The layout of the baths with a separate location of the sink and steam room Bath 4 4m from turnkey timber

For small area this bath looks like ideal option. The compact design can accommodate everything you need for a good rest. Functional bath 4 by 4 implies an interesting layout inside. About the details of its construction, features of decoration and best examples design will be discussed in more detail later.

Typical characteristics of a 4x4 structure

When drawing up a technical project, one should be guided by the following characteristics:

• the area of ​​​​the bath with an eye to the foundation is about 21.6 square meters. m;
• the distribution of the area can occur as follows: steam room - about 4 square meters. m, dressing room - 3 sq. m, shower room - 3.5 sq. m, terrace - up to 3 sq. m;
• as for the ceiling, it is important to observe a height of 2 m.

Attention! The height of the ceiling does not depend on the choice of the owner - both a one-story building and a building with a veranda must be equipped in the same way.

The classic dimensions are easy to adjust, taking away useful meters from the same shower room in favor of the steam room. Or leave everything at the mercy. However, in this case, you will need to take into account a couple of meters for a flight of stairs.

Bath construction

Consider each stage of the construction of the bath separately:

A reliable basis for the building of the bath will be a strip foundation. In this case, it is desirable to find the freezing point of the soil so that the structure is as strong as possible. If ground water run too high, the owner should pay attention to screw piles. A variant with the installation of a columnar base is also allowed, since here it is also supposed to be installed below the freezing point of the soil.

Attention! Waterproofing is a must!

If you choose between assembling a log house or a brick, then you should be aware of the laboriousness of installing the latter. All elements of the selected material must be marked and adjusted to fit the project data. Beam before laying must be processed special composition. In this case, you can do without fastening, since the own weight will firmly hold the structure. In addition to the bars, it is important to provide bituminous mastic and for the foundation. This will protect the wood material from moisture.

When the first crown of future walls is laid, the diagonal of the structure should be checked again. After that, with the help of dowels and a jute sealant, all rows are connected. The gaps are carefully sealed. Under the roof itself, you need to install transverse logs on the last row of bars.

Features of the work

1. Internal partitions are installed simultaneously with the laying of the crown. To do this, you need to mark in advance the place for the landing recess. Usually a partition separates the steam room and shower room from the dressing room. It is better to separate the steam room itself portable design so as not to reduce the strength of the log house with another cut.
2. For a bath of this size, it is enough to provide two windows: one in the steam room, the other in the dressing room. An alternative option is to install products in the steam room, and windows in the shower room. The latter must be provided with ventilation.
3. The truss system must be made of quality wood. At the same time, it is advisable not to abuse complex structures, which excessively load the foundation of the bath. An interesting option seems hip design when the attic acts as a recreation area. A single or gable roof model suggests the possibility of using almost any material. The first option looks more economical, but then the owner will be left without a recreation area.

Advice. The weight load on the truss system decreases with a decrease in the angle of inclination.

Final steps

The internal improvement of the bath allows the owner to show his own imagination. Although the same profiled timber does not need any decor. If the wood material has not really been processed, then siding or stone will easily hide its shortcomings. Often the interior of the bath is made in lining or similar materials. However, the greatest benefit is wood materials from deciduous trees (for example, linden). themselves Finishing work may require the owner to install a batten with waterproofing. The latter can be abandoned only in subtropical regions with a mild climate. To low temperatures, a good tree species is quite resistant.

And don't forget about such equipment as chimney. The place of its withdrawal should be designated even before the start internal works in the bath - after the construction of the object and heating system. There are also lovers of stoves-heaters, which were made by our grandfathers. However, the latter require a solid foundation and the presence of a chimney. They are made in the walls, which are then carefully insulated with practical compositions. This is necessary both to preserve heat and to protect the outgoing pipe from overheating.

At the final stage installation work plumbing, electricity and plumbing should be connected. After completion of these operations, the bath can be considered ready for use.

The design of a four-by-four bath project is not much different from larger buildings. It also requires compliance with banal safety rules. The owner has the opportunity for imagination only when finishing the interior.

Bath project example: video

Functional beautiful buildings on the land delight the owners and provide the opportunity to use them all year round. These buildings include baths 4 by 4. Good size medium capacity. It will accommodate 3-4 people comfortably. Such dimensions are suitable for families and receptions. You can invite relatives and carry out procedures together.

What is it worth building bath complexes from?

Profiled timber quality raw materials. It has the following advantages:

• low thermal conductivity - this contributes to a long cooling process. Heat is stored for a long time, there will be no losses.
• a variety of designs - there are square, rectangular and intricate solutions. You can build a frame of irregular shape.
• quick assembly - experienced craftsmen complete the work in 2 weeks.
• slight shrinkage - gives the right to immediately use the object.
• decorative appearance steam rooms - does not need facade finishing. In this case, it is necessary to treat the tree with protection against moisture and fire.
• environmental friendliness - wood is a clean material. It allows the building to breathe. A healthy microclimate is created in a wooden structure.
• low prices - savings occur in comparison with a log. This building will be cheaper if the contractor has his own production.
• baths made of 4x4 timber are durable - they cost more than 50 years without requiring additional investments.

The whole country rests on such workers

Alexey Gennadievich!!! Due to the lack of time, I could not write to you in any way - many thanks for the work of your employees in the construction of the bathhouse, two young men, unfortunately, I don’t know their names, they worked clearly and harmoniously, the quality of the bathhouse is EXCELLENT !!! The whole country rests on such workers. All friends and relatives also noted the impeccable work of the guys, as a result of which they dreamed of a bathhouse.

The guys built us an amazing bath

I want to express my deep gratitude to Alexey (general director), Zorin Sergey and Chistyakov Vladimir (builders)! In early August, the guys built us an amazing bathhouse, taking into account all our wishes. The delivery of materials was carried out on time, the construction was completed even ahead of the time agreed earlier, the quality of materials and work on highest level. In general, just a fairy tale! I advise you to build only with Russian carpenters!

"Price quality"

The work is pleasing to the eye. Fast, high quality, on time. I thank the team of guys (Eugene, Dmitry, Sergey) and CEO Alexey Roslov for the work done. I ordered a bathhouse with an attic 6x6 project B-20 with minor changes, “for shrinkage”. All work was completed ahead of schedule and with high quality. All my wishes were taken into account. I was very pleased with Alexey Roslov's attitude to his work. He always promptly and competently answered all my questions, settled controversial issues. The team, despite the young age of the guys, worked quickly and smoothly, at the end they gave advice on caring for the timber and conservation for the winter. Next year I will do the finishing with the same team. "Russian Plotniki" wins in all positions in comparison with other large companies. “Price-quality” is about them. Again thank you very much. I will recommend to everyone.

They built a house for me in 2018, according to my project, by professionals in their field. The project itself is somewhat more expensive than its competitors, but in our village they built 1 more house and the owners were satisfied.

They ordered the construction of a bathhouse, they did it in the shortest possible time, without any complaints about the work of the team.

Full cycle from the production of material to the assembly of the house is perfectly organized. Quality, professionalism at the highest level. I recommend.

It is very important to find your manager, who will advise not only at the conclusion of the contract, but also during construction. We talked with Igor, as a result, the bath is ready on the site, we use it, everything is fine. Thank you.

Great home, great service! Everyone was helpful and helpful with the selection. You can see everything live - we went to a facility under construction similar to ours, where they saw how they work, only after that they decided to build. Thank you for the patience of managers and builders that answered all the questions!

In 2018, we ordered a bathhouse. We are very satisfied with the work of the employees of this company. Starting with the estimate and ending with a team of builders. We were lucky for the action, we received a sauna stove as a gift!

Thanks for the sauna house. On the site one price is indicated, but in fact it turns out more. But it’s understandable that the price is indicated for the very minimum, like everyone else on the Internet, if you want to comfortably pay extra for extras. In general, "thank you" to the builders.

The desire to acquire a bathhouse in which you can take a steam bath with the whole family, or mentally spend time in the company of friends - is born immediately after the happy acquisition land plot where you can make your dream come true. Those developers who completely entrust the construction and landscaping to a contractor or guests from the Central Asian republics, delve into the essence of design for the first time - at the stage of choosing a beautiful house / bathhouse, drawn in Photoshop, the second - when the picture in a glossy magazine does not critically coincide with the creation of hired hands builders. To avoid such a traumatic discrepancy, you can independently prepare a 4x4 bath project and proceed with its implementation, spending a minimum of effort and money, since such a project will take into account not the interests of the designer and the inevitable margin, but the preferences of the owner, who carefully saves every penny.

Bath 4x4

Project, plan, drawing - what's the difference?

For many developers who first encountered the need to prepare a project for a simple structure on garden plot, is a revelation that a plan is different from a drawing, and a project is not only a set of pictures with dimensions, but something much more! It is not difficult to develop a 4x4 bath project even for an owner who is unprepared and far from construction, the main thing is to understand that the project is not a sketch on a piece of paper, and not even a neat drawing. A project is a set of sequential actions that includes all stages of preparation, planning, construction, connection to communications and subsequent maintenance of a future building.

AT project documentation everything counts!

Starting with geodetic survey of a site and geological surveys, ending with the calculation of the cost of hardware - studs and staples for a stapler, which may be needed during the construction and decoration of the sauna of your dreams.

Choice of planning solution

A 4x4 bath is a small structure, but this does not mean that it can be placed anywhere on the land.

Layout option 1
Layout option 2 Layout option 3

During the operation of the bath, it is necessary to use an open combustion source - a stove. Therefore, comply with the requirements fire safety. When choosing a place where to place a bathhouse, it is necessary to proceed from the following requirements:

• Location from the border of the site - at least 1 meter, if it is a one-story building without a foundation - the rarest case construction of a panel sauna with an electric fireplace. Or - 3 meters - in the event that the bath has a foundation, the building itself can be classified as residential. All requirements for the placement of the building can be studied by reading the following documents:

• Communications - the most important requirement when choosing a place to build a bath! It is unlikely that anyone will be pleased - before taking a steam bath on a frosty evening on the eve of Christmas, wear for several hours ice water from a well located at the other end of the site or completely beyond its border. The bath should be located near the source of water supply and collection system Wastewater(septic). Otherwise, a situation is possible when, after bathing procedures, the beds with your favorite strawberries are flooded with soapy water or the apple tree begins to wither, which has delighted the owners with its fruits for decades.
• Coordination with neighbors. Subject to SNiP, it is usually not necessary to coordinate the 4x4 bath project with the owners of neighboring plots. Exceptions are cases when the site is burdened with an easement. If there is a path to the neighboring site along it, a water supply system has been laid, there is a single entrance, etc. In this case, it is necessary either to change the location of the planned bathhouse, or to transfer easement encumbrances to another location.

Foundation design

In theory, the design of laying the foundation begins with geological surveys. Determine the structure of the soil, the depth of soil water, the depth of soil freezing. Based on these data, choose optimal design foundation. Most developers ignore these requirements and build the foundation on the principle of maximum cheapness, forgetting about the saying: “Cheap cheese only happens in a mousetrap!”

IMPORTANT! Neglect of the foundation device turns into thousands of costs to eliminate the flaws made during construction!

columnar or pile foundation At first glance, it seems the simplest and cheapest option. In fact - drilling pits or renting a unit for twisting screw piles can cost much more than the strip foundation from FBS. The second minus of the pile foundation is the cold floor! The cost of insulating the basement and firewood for the firebox of the bath will “eat up” all the savings when laying the foundation!

Log house design

Bath 4x4 can not be called small. If it is built on the principle of a Russian steam room, then this is quite a sufficient area. If you build a sauna, it will be cramped because you have to divide 16 m2 into three rooms:

• steam room;
• washing;
• Dressing room.

Agree that 5.33 m 2 for each of the rooms is a bit cramped even for one person, not to mention any company or a joint bath for the whole family.

Such small bath rationally build according to the classical Russian layout - single space combining a steam room with a washing room. The steam in such a bath is humid, rarely above 70 ° C, but on the other hand, it is healthier, easier to tolerate by women, the elderly and children, and the bath, in addition to its hygienic functions, can be used for household needs - as a room for washing and drying clothes, drying autumn clothes. blanks, as a backup living quarters in emergency situations.

Roof design

Modern lungs Decoration Materials allow you to easily arrange an attic or a second unheated floor, which is operated in warm time of the year. Depending on the imagination of the developer, the roof can have the most diverse look.

The simplest - a gable attic with a slight elevation angle is used only for drying brooms or storing inventory. Less popular shed roof. Her inconvenience affects winter time- if you arrange a slope angle that ensures independent snow melting - the bath will look ridiculous, and if you make the angle flat - you will have to clean the roof of snow several times during the winter.

Proportions gable roof baths

Hip and semi-hip roofs near the baths are a rarity. Usually, when designing, they strive for maximum cost reduction, and a hip roof is difficult to build, requires certain skills and is large in area, which affects the price of roofing material.

Drawing truss system hip roof

mansard roof- the most common solution that gives the building the look of a hearse! Unfortunately, the functionality does not match the aesthetics. When designing a bathhouse with a second floor, think about how often you will have a desire to go up to the second floor after the steam room to feed the mosquitoes there.

Drawing up a budget for the project

The hardest part of the job is budgeting. Bath 4x4 - a fabulously beautiful dream begins to take on a material shape when the developer calculates how much it will cost him to spend a wellness pastime in the steam room.

The main mistake of an inexperienced developer is that he considers only the cost building materials. Without taking into account the costs of designing, paperwork, transport services for the delivery of building materials or the rental of special equipment: a drilling rig, a manipulator-loader, hiring workers to perform labor-intensive work.

Often the project does not take into account such "little things" as:

• Pipes for the device drainage system baths.
• Materials for electrical wiring.
• Thermal insulation materials that serve to ensure fire safety.

IMPORTANT! If the sauna is equipped with an electric heater, the energy costs can be comparable to the monthly energy consumption for the rest of the household!
