Raising the floor of wood in a bath should begin with the installation of sex lags, which must be pine or made of larch. On these logs are attached boards of the same kind of wood. Laying the floor, you should do this with a certain slope, for easy draining of the liquid. However, if you arrange a flowing floor, this condition is optional. Laying lags should be carried out on the minimum distance from the chosen wall to another, but if the walls in the bath are equilateral, this condition can also be ignored.
How to make a floor in the bath
Determine with the water stack
Having determined the way of the flowing fluid, the logs are mounted in diameter relative to the given vector. To achieve the required rigidity, in the central area of each of them, support chairs are mounted, which can easily be made of bricks or such compliant material as wood. Under them, a reinforced mesh-rabitzi base is made of a solid concrete mixture, at least a quarter of a meter in width.
Scheme of support posts for logs
Digging forty centimeters of pits under an area foundation with subsequent ramming of the edges and bottom. At the bottom of such holes a ten centimeter sand layer is poured and compacted with water. A layer of fifteen centimeters of gravel is placed above this layer and it is also rammed. Instead of the usual rubble, you can take a broken brick.
Principle of construction of support posts for logs
Formwork looking over the ground surface more than 5 cm, is realized from boards of edging type. The edges should be insulated from the water with tarley or use a roofing material. After the completion of the formwork installation, the first concrete layer is laid there, having an approximate thickness of about 15 cm. It is rammed and covered with a mesh-netting, and then the same second layer is deposited on top. Before the installation of a wooden or brick support on the construction site, a waterproofing layer is made from the bitumen, which is brought to the melting point, covered with a ruberoid. The degree of elevation of the supports should be selected taking into account the degree of elevation of the supports for the ends of the sexual lag.
Scheme for supporting pillars for logs
The base of the belt type requires the same height of the support and top of the foundation to be erected.
Constructing pillars for logs
But the columnar type of the base to be constructed now requires the same height of the supporting top and the raised part of the embedded type of the beam, since the end parts of the logs will be supported by the bars of the crown. After the completion of work with the supports, we proceed to prepare the ground, which is in the underground.
Underground device in bath
Leaking floors in a bath room with sandy soil need a rock-fill, the thickness of which can be a quarter of a meter. This material here will play the role of a filter that provides an optimal level of humidity in the underground under consideration. Not too well absorbing the soil requires the arrangement of the tray, where water will accumulate outside the bath.
Construction of the floor in the bath with their own hands
In order to realize this technology, it is desirable to equip under the floor, pertaining to the flowing type, an earthen lock that has a slope to the catchment tray. The lock can be made and from the concrete mix, but it will come out more. To make such a lock, you need to bombard a ten centimeter layer of crushed stone covered on the surface of the ground and sprinkle a fifteen centimeter layer of such compliant material as clay on top of it. It must be level and have a two-sided inclination with respect to the equipped pit against the horizon line.
Scheme of filling claydite on the floor in the bath
If you build a floor that belongs to a non-leaking type, it is necessary to insulate the surface of the bath-house with such a multifunctional and inexpensive material as expanded clay. At the same time, between the lag and the lag should be about 15 cm for optimal air circulation. The flushing section near the wall here will serve as a place for equipping the pit, from where a pipe leading out of the water will lead out. Its diameter should exceed 150 mm, so as not to impede the process of emptying the catchment tray.
Assembly of ladders
Layout of lag for the floor
Laying lags for the floor, which belongs to the non-flowing type, should be from the walls to the catchment area, with the front lags should be mounted higher in level than the rest, and do not cut them. In the next logs, inclined cuttings are made at an angle of approximately 10 degrees, and their depth depends on the number of lags used - the smaller they are, the deeper the cut.
The beam of the bars is made here taking into account the dimensions of the space of the bath room, so that on both sides between lags and wall surfaces there is about 4 cm for successful air circulation.
Scheme of the rough floor
The installation of the lag is made on the foundation bar and the posts relating to the reference type. In the process, waterproofing materials such as ruberoid and pergamine are necessarily used. All mounted logs are treated with an antiseptic solution.
Laying the log
You can check the correctness of the laying by the building level. To bring the lags to a more horizontal position, you need to make a cut-off on them places, resting on the gantry beam or the used support.
Leveling of logs with each other
You can also check the uniformity of laying. This can be done by placing the level on a board with an aligned surface lying on the logs. Level lags can be either using pads, or pods.
Distance from the lag to the foundation of the
stove Near the equip- ment base of the lag must necessarily lie around the perimeter at a distance that is about 15 cm from the edges. The furnace foundation is brought to the level of the flooring only after the completion of the laying works.

For this, you need to lay the foundation under the stove in a pre-arranged area. Here you can use refractory brick or concrete.
Installation of the flowing floor
Unedged boards are used here, pre-planed and leveled from the ends.
The principle of laying the boards of the flowing floor
The boards are cut according to the dimensions of the bath room so that there is a two centimeter gap between the wall surface and the floor. Flooring flooring can start from any wall surface, if only it was located parallel to the course of the boards.
Floor laying plan
The trimmed boards are laid indented 2 cm from the wall surface and nailed. In this case, if the thickness of the board is represented by a value of 40 mm., The length of the fastening element used must exceed 80 mm.
Use fasteners at the edges of the boards, at a distance of about 1.5 cm from their edges. It is best to drive nails inside at an angle of 40 degrees from the central portion of the board. Use at least a couple of nails to fix one board.
The gap between the boards is usually about 3 mm
The clearance between the boards to be beaten should exceed the value of 3 mm. . If this condition is met, then the cut of the usual sheet of fiberboard inserted between them will help.
Installation of a non-flowing floor
Here, the optimal way is suitable for grooved boards, which, as a rule, are grouted inside the bath room.
Mounting the rough floor
Before installation, the so-called black floor covering is installed. To realize this, to the frontal parts of the lags are fixed special bars with a section represented by a value of 50x50 mm. On them between the lags are located the boards belonging to the second or third grade.
Falling asleep on the rough floor
Over the finished "black" full coating lined with a layer of materials that provide protection from moisture, such as glassine or a common and inexpensive ruberoid.
The principle of laying the thermal insulation materials for the floor in the sauna
After finishing with the "black" floor covering, start the work on the flooring of the finishing floor. Here boards of tongue-and-groove type are taken. In order to be able to remove them from their places for further drying, the boards used in the work can even not be fastened with fasteners such as nails, using instead bars with a section of 20x30 mm, mounted to the logs with special "wood grouses" screws. Thus, you can easily make the floor in the bath with your own hands.
