Baths of foam blocks

How to build a bath from a foam block?

Construction of the structure of this material has the following sequence:

1. Foundation. It is necessary to dig a ditch 60x30 along the perimeter of the future building. After that, the pins are driven into the corners, intermediate and additional through 1.9 meters. A string or string is pulled over the pins( this is necessary to detect irregularities).It is also recommended to use the laser level. The next step is the production of reinforcing cage, the optimum thickness is 12 mm. The planking form must be 25 mm wide. After all this, concrete is poured, 70-75 cm will be a sufficient height of the basement. Also, do not forget about the sewerage, which fits inside the basement. Cement needs to be given a few days so that it stiffens. Now you can put a waterproofing and the foundation will be completely ready. You can continue building a bath from the foam block.

1. Walls. Using the level, you need to find the highest angle and build from it. The longest stage will be laying the first row. The foam blocks need to be cemented together with cement mortar, and then it is necessary to make sure that the surface is completely flat. Here, a stretched cord is useful, which will help during the installation. You also need a laser level. Further laying and bonding of blocks is carried out with the help of special glue. It must be applied to the entire perimeter of the foam block.

1. Roof. First of all, you need to mount rafters from boards 10x40 cm, then - womb 15x50 cm. Optimal distance for the flooring is half a meter, and between rafters - 10.2 cm. Thus, the ceiling( rough) width of 2.5 cm is fixed between the uterus. The next layer is a foam, 20 cm is enough. The final stage is the floor of the attic, which will be made of boards having a width of 2.5 cm.

1. Internal and external processing. Penoblok requires additional waterproofing treatment. For this, a special impregnation of the material is used, as well as an insulating film.

The best variant of facing the bath is ventilated facades. For their execution, you will need:

• Socket siding
• Vinyl siding.
• The frame on which they will be mounted.

The minimum indentation of the facing from the wall is 5 cm, not less. This is necessary for normal air circulation. The interior is mostly lined with wood. It is best to use fir or pine, as these are the species of the tree more resistant to the others.

Advantage of such bath

It is easier to build yourself. Penoblok is an inexpensive and high-quality material. But the most important thing is short terms of works, ease of their performance( in comparison with other materials) and ecological compatibility. Baths from the foam block - this is the best option for building their own hands.
