Development of bath
design The construction sketch should not resemble a primitive garage. At the moment on the Internet on specialized sites you can find original photo projects of baths from a foam block. In the photo, even the most unusual plans can be depicted, for example, premises of non-standard form, with a built-in garage, a billiard room or a gazebo attached to the therma.

In the event that you do not like the free projects, you can turn to specialists who will provide ready-made projects, where such aspects as drainage, power supply and ventilation will be provided. However, when using foam concrete, free projects are not inferior to those developed to order.
Construction of foam baths: foundation, walls, roof
The foundation should not be too powerful, because foam concrete is a fairly light material. It is recommended to lay the waterproofing material necessary to prevent moisture from entering the room.
When the first stage is completed, the walls must be erected. For the first row, it is better to use a very dense material and fix it with a cement mixture. To fix the foam blocks of the next series, glue mixtures can be used. During laying, you must always follow the alternation of the horizontal and vertical level of the masonry.
Next, you need to install rafters for the roof, a layer of foam. It is important that there are at least two ventilation openings in the roof of the bath. Outside, the roof is covered with corrugated board, and the pediment, as a rule, is covered with a roofing felt. In order to study all the details, it is recommended to watch video baths from foam blocks. These videos can be found on specialized websites.
Finishing of the bath from the foam block
The cladding( external or internal) is a necessary condition for a good result. First, you need to waterproof the surface. For external finishing suitable hinged facades with ventilation, which prevent the accumulation of moisture.
Steamproof membranes must be used inside the room to provide a vapor barrier. For interior finishing, it is preferable to use coniferous wood( spruce or pine), polymer paints or ceramic tiles. The most popular facing material for a steam room is aspen or linden, which do not have the properties to be heated. They also maintain the temperature perfectly.
The easiest way to build a bath is from a foam block under the key. The construction of saunas from foam blocks on a turn-key basis has one big advantage: there is no need to waste time on a lot of questions, but the price will be higher. It will depend on the size of the building, the level of complexity of the sketches, as well as the time for which the builders must perform the work.
When ordering the construction of a bath by specialists, it is necessary to know the price in advance. The average price per 1 m2 of a 6x6 bath is in the range of 18-25 thousand rubles.
