How to build a roof of a bath with your own hands - step by step instruction on erection

For such buildings it is customary to choose the simplest scheme by which the upper part is arranged. Basically, for a bath, considering its small dimensions, it's easy to make a roof with your own hands for any of the technologies. We'll figure out which roof is better, how to erect it and what to look for first.

The main features of any bath are excessive humidity and sudden changes in temperature, its high values ​​during the operation of the steam room. Conclusion: the main criteria for a quality roof for a bath are reliable heat, hydro and vapor insulation. But the configuration of a special role does not play.

Choice of roof construction

Flat( single-skinned)

Pros of this version:

The only drawback is the lack of an attic space. With reference to the bathhouse, it usually stores brooms that are suspended for drying, household / inventory and various small items. The question is: how much in the bathhouse does an attic need, if on a site other than an apartment house there are certainly other buildings such as a barn or a small workshop?

Gable roof

To the pluses one can attribute the presence of an attic. Perhaps, this is the only advantage of such a scheme, if it is a question of a bath.

Cons:

The technology of roof construction baths

How many masters, so many features and the construction of the roof. If the general list of works is unchanged, then there are a number of nuances. Therefore, we give only general guidelines for construction, which will help to understand the entire technological process.

Consider the installation features of a one-pitch, more simple in the execution of the roof. The construction of the rafter( gable) is no different from the construction of the roof of a private house, so it is not necessary to understand the details of this technology in detail - the information on our website is sufficient.

Mauerlat

Represents a frame construction, which is located along the perimeter of the structure, on the upper sections of the walls. For its installation, a bar is used, which is distinguished by rigidity of geometry and rectangular cross-section. The walls can be made of different materials( brick, blocks of cellular concrete), but in any case the samples will be tight.

In order for the beam to be securely fixed in the installation site, even during the construction phase, the studs with the thread on the end are inserted into the last row of the brickwork( brick).On them( after drilling of the nests) the elements of the Mauerlat are inserted and then fixed with nuts.

Overlapping

The beams are laid on the mauerlat or the upper crown. The roof must have a certain slope so that the water does not stagnate after the rain on the roof. The minimum angle is 5º.How to provide it? On the cut of the wall, which is the front( front), one more bar or board is stacked, on top of the Mauerlat. The thickness of the workpiece determines the steepness of the slope.

Doing its slope even for snow regions over 20º is hardly reasonable. The material consumption will be increased, and the snow load in any case will not be great, given the modest size of the standard baths.

Wall baths should be protected from rain. To this end, any roof is mounted with a certain overhang( at least 40 cm from the perimeter).Therefore, the overlap elements must protrude for it.

Steam insulation

Its task - to eliminate the wetting of the heater. It is always mounted with the lowest layer.

Waterproofing

Traditionally, as a protective layer, a roofing material is used in the private sector. But if it is still suitable for isolation isolation, then it should not be used on the roof. The reason is fragility. He will serve a maximum of 5 years, and then, under the most favorable conditions.

Given the peculiarity of the operation of the material under the roof of the bath, the complexity of the process of dismantling / mounting in case of leaks, it is better to buy more expensive and reliable products for waterproofing. The assortment is big, the choice is on any purse. In the long term, this will be cheaper than dealing with systematic roof repairs.

Lath

Its type depends on the selected material for roofing.

Insulation material

The location of its installation depends on the selected material.

Mineral wool is flexible, therefore it is desirable to install mats "voraspor", between the beams of the floor. In this case, it is covered from below with a vapor barrier. The interval between supports is chosen corresponding, according to the dimensions of the mats. Typically, within 65 cm.

Penoplex is more convenient to mount over the frame. Its plates are glued to the crate, and are additionally fixed with special / dowels( with wide hats).In addition, on top, another layer of waterproofing.

Roof covering

Here everyone decides on their own, focusing on their financial capabilities, the location of the bath, the overall design of the site.

One of the variants of a flat roof - the so-called "green".This is one of the most simple and inexpensive technologies. After the arrangement of a continuous flooring, a waterproofing layer is mounted on it, on top of which the turf is laid( it is recommended in 2 layers).

Feature of their location - the top roots of plants down, the bottom - vice versa. The only condition - the steepness of the ramp should not exceed 100. Such a roof does not require care and serves as a good insulation for the roof. It is clear that the cost of its installation will be minimal.

The article considers only the general rules for erecting a flat roof in a bath. The choice of specific materials is at the discretion of the esteemed reader.
