Foundations of a brick bath
Once a place has been chosen, a layout has been made and the foundation has been laid out. The optimum option is the ribbon foundation. To do this, you need to dig a trench, build a timbering from the boards, and sprinkle the bottom of the trench with sand( a sand pillow helps to distribute the load evenly).Reinforcement can be done using a masonry grid. The depth of the bookmark will depend on the climatic features.
In this situation, a strip foundation was made for a 2.4x4.7 m bath. The height of the foundation is 30 cm, width 15 cm. You can prepare the concrete mortar yourself, you can order the ready-made mortar.
Since it is planned to build a bath of bricks, you need to wait until the foundation has stood. The time the masonry starts depends on the type of foundation and the characteristics of the concrete solution.
To protect yourself from the appearance of fungus, mold, before the commencement of the masonry work, the foundation can be treated with a waterproofing Hydroshield.
Construction of walls
When building a brick bath with their own hands, it's easier to use one and a half red bricks.
To determine the amount of material, it is necessary to divide the planned width and height of the walls into multiplied by the height and width of the brick. This method is used if the masonry is carried into one brick, as in this case.
Thus it is necessary to leave ventilating backlashes, to plan windows and doors. Over the doors, window openings are mounted jumpers.
Roof
Floor joists are installed directly on the bricks in the prepared holes. The ends of the beams, which will be in contact with the brickwork, turn into ruberoid, only the end part remains unclosed. The simplest option is a saddle roof. After laying the beams, flooring is made of boards.
To arrange the waterproofing, the beams turn into fabric asbestos, which is fastened with a stapler. When the beams are hidden on top, a mixture of clay and sawdust is applied. For this roof, the proportion of 2 buckets x 2 buckets is enough. When the mixture dries, it is sprinkled with sand.
Special attention is paid to the location of the chimney. Observance of the recommendations of experts will help to avoid a fire. Wood should not come in contact with the chimney. This zone is sewed up with a metal sheet.
Next is a rafter system of a brick bath, the crate is made. Top of the roofing material, for example, slate or corrugated sheet.
The place where the stove will stand and pass the chimney indoors is insulated with metal.
The space around the chimney in the area of the ceiling is insulated with claydite. The lower reflector is attached to the fittings.
Another sheet of metal is placed on top of the claydite layer.
During the construction of a brick bath, the Rus-9 furnace was used.
Interior finishing of the sauna from the brick
The next step in the step-by-step construction of the bath of brick is the floor. Ceramic granite is a practical and aesthetic option. To ensure that the tile does not deteriorate during the winter, it is better to put it on a frost-resistant mortar.
Mistakes in the masonry will quickly make themselves felt by such wet spots after heavy rainfall as in the photo. If a similar problem manifests itself, you will miss all the stitches.
After installing the oven and installing the chimney, you need to make a test furnace to make sure that everything is done correctly.
Next, you need to think about arranging the floor in the dressing room. The bottom is covered with sand. On the ledges of the foundation are installed lags.
They are subsequently sewn with boards. Near the furnace, the boards are not used. Then we get a deepening, suitable for storing a small amount of firewood.
As a result, the wooden floor will create a comfortable environment for people emerging from the steam room. A finish with ceramic granite in front of the furnace will provide fire safety.
The ceiling in the therma is best sewed with lime battens.
For the ceiling in the dressing room, the usual lining of pine is suitable.
The walls are lined with lining. In places where the skin will contact the wall, you can not use metal fasteners. After finishing the interior, the heating time to 80 ° C was reduced to 50 minutes.
Parallel to the planking, shelves are made. They are usually installed opposite the furnace. For them, hardwood( linden, aspen) is needed, so as not to burn yourself with resin that will protrude in the conifers at high temperatures. Brace the shelves of the shelves on wooden pins.
Like the whole internal space of the bath, the ventilation holes are made out of wood.
Even before the decoration of the walls, the lining is carried out with water using metal-plastic pipes.
You can use an ordinary metal door as an entrance door.
The furnace is filled with stones.
The obligatory step of the instructions how to build a bath of bricks is the installation of an inner door that leads to a therma. It should be only wooden, and its fasteners provide for operation in a humid environment and at high temperature.
The total cost of building such a neat bath of bricks is about 200 thousand rubles. It remains only to arrange it externally, by inscribing it into the surrounding space.
