Building a Russian bathhouse

What Russian does not like to drive fast! What Russian does not love fast warm up ... And indeed, so if the Russian likes a bath, then stepped on it hot - the God commanded. In the bath all subject to one idea - to get a cool pair healthy. In this case, the temperature in the steam room can be very relatively high. A well-chosen tree species, the organization competent ventilation and air circulation in the steam room are also to withdraw the shock that the body receives through touch. Shock - a reaction to high temperature at which all the organs begin to work overload. In small amounts (individually) is only useful: produces adrenaline, included a protective reserve of the organism, strengthens the immune system, there is an intensive cleansing of the body. Therefore, with proper construction - there are no trifles. Every little thing - it is one of the nuances of working on the main idea of ??the sauna - the maximum heating without harmful effects. Many people think that a strong pair - it's only for very healthy people, but for those who have, for example, a diseased heart, it does not fit. You can steam at low temperature in the "strangled" a steam room and load the heart of a healthy person, so that even he gets uncomfortable. Conversely, some time in the hot Russian sauna - not to harm and benefit, but it should take into account the recommendations of doctors. Entering the well-built bath, overheated to a high temperature, a person inhaling the hot air has very pleasant feeling. In case of violation of construction technology, in such a bath is about five minutes (depending on the state of health), a person may experience discomfort - nausea, heart palpitations, heaviness in the heart - he wants to leave. After the sauna, he will be a long rest and some time may feel overwhelmed .. Place for a bath at the site should be selected in accordance with the norms of sanitary and fire safety, sizes - from the building regulations on the basis of 3.4 sq.m. total area per washable. The best material for the construction of a bath - pine or fir, dry logs or boards of thickness 12-20 cm chopped wood walls quickly and fully absorb the steam, while maintaining a constant temperature and humidity in the sauna room. Aromatic substances contained in the pine and spruce wood, standing out at an elevated temperature and humidity, have antibacterial properties. You can build a bath of red brick, rubble or stone, but the walls of stone materials with a sharp temperature drop covered by drops of water - condensation, long warm up and cool down quickly. To keep the heat in the bath make pritolku low and high threshold. Door size 70x170 cm thick boards made of a 40 - 50 mm dowel or quarter in such a way (especially in the steam room), so it is free, with a gap of 4-5 mm on the side, came in the box folds, but were covered tightly on the edge cloth. The threshold for making height of 20-25 cm, a window - opening height of about 1 m frame double glazing, with an area the size of 50x60 cm height of the ceiling in a steam room and washing units adopted in the range from 2 to 2,3 m for the rapid heating of the room with minimal heat energy. During the construction of baths should focus on construction of floors and weirs. The floors in the dressing room (locker room) make the kind of two decks, the so-called black and pure. Clean floor paint or covered with linoleum. In brick baths it is covered with ceramic tiles. When the device floor washing and steam room units in the first place should ensure a normal flow of used water and its discharge into drains (the local system or using a septic tank and absorption wells). His suit in the form of an inclined surface, made of waterproof material (concrete, clay, etc.) with a slant towards the pit (small capacity), equipped with a water slide and connected to overflow pipe with an absorbing hole. Pit can be made of any suitable material, but so it was tight. At the level of 10-12 cm from the bottom pin is put an end to the spillway pipe and leaned toward him set the plate tightly fastened on all sides except the bottom edge, which must protrude from the bottom of a 50-60 mm. This device forms a water seal, preventing bad odors from the sewer. Wooden flooring is performed on the lag, set on pillars supporting the use of waterproofing. Floor boards are fixed with a clearance of 5-6 mm to ensure a normal weir with a strong swell. With the same purpose on the boards removed longitudinal bevel, making the top layer sloping. The floors of the continuous coating operates on the same principle as the spillway foundation, but at the same pit should be in the room itself, so it covers the drain grating. Drains must be equipped with vent pipes, which is to simplify the design can be mounted on the sink of asbestos or metal pipe with a diameter not less than 100 mm, the upper end of its equip hood or deflector. Who invented the steam room to make a wooden floor - that's understandable. It is unclear why many people still do not want to refuse it. If you walk along the wet parquet floor in shoes or bare feet, the floor will be dirty. It was the same in doubles. In slippers or barefoot, after a shower or not - sex is still dirty, will be very soon. Cover it with lacquer is strictly prohibited! Nothing in the steam room should not be covered with lacquer. No matter how good (the manufacturer's instructions), it may be. In addition, wood floor dries. The bottom pair is the high humidity and low temperature. The wooden floor will be a constant source of moisture, mildew and odors. Therefore it is better to make a tiled floor. It will not be cold, and slippers can be left at the bottom. The location of the shelves and the oven in a Russian steam bath - is a special case. It is important that coming out of the mouth of the furnace is not burnt pairs of subjects and other people in the steam room. In addition, the ceiling in a Russian bath can and should do substantially higher than in the sauna, but depends on the number and height of the regiments. There is no point in doing podspinniki - the horizontal boards that are sewn on the wall above the upper bench at the back of a seated person. If your steam bath is made of the deciduous tree problem, which burns the needles and dirty does not exist. They say that the walls get dirty back, but podspinniki also get dirty, get dirty and the shops. All this may have to be cleaned. Only clean fine cloth without detergent. All wood construction bath to keep it from rotting to process an antiseptic. For heating and hot water bath, you can use the oven most diverse designs, mostly furnace heater. Their work is based on using as a heat accumulator granite stones that are heated by hot gases emerging from the firebox stove. Thus, while warm water and stones. Furnace-stove designed for heating with wood (preferably birch) in long mode. The most common material for the construction of the furnace-heaters - fire brick with clay mortar with the addition of chamotte powder. Masonry walls of the furnace is carried out in a half-brick or full brick with a good series, and ligation of a thin mortar joints. On masonry firebox heater spends about 150 bricks, clay 20 kg and 20 kg of refractory sand. The firebox with podduvalom divided grate and boiler set over them with a lid, connect the exhaust ducts from the heater chamber, which is filled with granite stones weighing from 1 to 4 kg for 60 kg of stones per 1 m3 of the room sweating. To speed up the warm stones to add about 25% (by weight) of pig iron, which heats up quickly and well accumulate heat. Camera equipped doors size 220x270 mm, through which a bucket or a hose fed hot water to form steam. Capacity of the boiler or the tank must be designed to flow 10.7 liters of water with a temperature of 60-70 ° C for one washable. Furnace-stove should have it so that it simultaneously heat all rooms bath - steam bath, washing and dressing room. Lay the foundation for the furnace depth of at least 50-60 cm from the rubble concrete and red brick. Between the foundation and walls of the oven leave the space of 60 mm and covered it with sand. Chimney spread of brick with a channel of 19x19 cm and is used for this purpose, asbestos cement pipes with a diameter of 150 mm. Wooden roof frame elements should be placed closer than 150 mm from the pipe. Practical and simple enough to manufacture the stove can be made of two metal drums: one is used as the firebox is equipped with its fire box door size 270x260 mm, podduvalom with ash and grate, and the other - as a heater. To increase the durability of cast iron grate make or iron, such as reinforcement 14-16 mm in diameter. Top of the firebox install a water tank in such a way that between the grate and the bottom was a distance of 25 cm for laying enough firewood tank equipped crane. The heater is installed in the legs (rack) and connect with the firebox flue pipe diameter of 22 cm It should have a door size of 220x160 mm for feeding water vapor and chimney pipe with a diameter of 150 mm. While ensuring the bath with hot and cold water from a central line is expedient to use an electric heater. It works on the principle of heating the air by electric heaters such as heater granite stones 4-6 cm in size, total weight 30 kg. Power electric heaters - 2,8 kW, it has four brand heater NSVZH - 1,2 / 1,0 1 kW each, operating voltage of 220 V. In the electric system servicing the furnace is the temperature control and circuit breaker short circuit. Electric heaters installed on the asbestos plate at a distance of not less than 100 mm from the wall. Electrical wiring made of a four-core cable in the metal protective tube. Equipment protection and control set in the waiting room. Housing oven must be earthed. To avoid accidental burns from contact with the body electric heater, which heats up to 90-100T fence wooden barrier.
