The process of building a sauna in the apartment
do it yourself.
And so, the first thing is to decide where you will place the steam room, the basic and proven by the pioneers in this area 1 is of course the bathroom, it naturally fits the best. because it is designed for high humidity and temperature differences, as well as the floor has a waterproofing layer, and there will be no problems with the redevelopment. 2-location on the balcony, of course not necessary, but very fashionable today, especially among young people. 3-it is possible to convert a pantry under a sauna, if you do not need a pantry, you can safely make a sauna out of it)
Also, the author presented to our attention the layout of saunas and sizes, respectively.
The master for creating a steam room still chose a bathroom, because it is more appropriate. First of all, the old tiles and plaster are removed from the walls, cleaned.
Further, the master lays ceramic tiles on the floor, as many lovers of this kind of saunas recommend laying a warm floor, so there will be uniform heating in the room and air circulation, and it’s nice to feet on a warm floor.
The walls are finished according to the standard and already by all memorized scheme. First, sheathed with a beam with a certain distance depending on the size of the insulation, and previously a vapor barrier material.
Another important point! In no case do not put handles with locks and latches on the door, only a magnetic latch is allowed.
Lathing from a bar.
Insulation is laid in the resulting openings between the bars, mainly mineral wool.
Note! The distance between the bars should be 1.5-2 cm less than the size of the insulation - this is necessary so that the cotton wool is tightly laid and it is well kept even in the spacer.
Further naturally aluminum foil, it is necessary to reflect and maintain the temperature in this room.
The junction of two sheets of foil is glued using foil or aluminum tape so that there is no heat loss and everything is tight to the maximum.
Another crate made of timber is also being made, already on top of the foil, it will be necessary for fixing the lining. The door master installed a purchased wooden with glass inserts, it can also be set out of tinted glass.
The lining was finished by the author from the ceiling.
It is better to fasten the lining with metal clematars, and not to hammer a nail directly into the plank.
And thus throughout the room.
One corner should be provided for the installation of a sauna heater.
The most important thing in the sauna and in the bath is of course the shelves. The first shelf is installed at a height of 60-70 cm from the floor level, the second one is at least a meter from the same level.
First, the author makes the frame of the beam and twists it with self-tapping screws.
Then it tightens the boards, it is advisable to screw the screws from the back (flush) so as not to make holes in the boards and there were no metal elements by itself.
Lighting devices are installed.
Small backs from boards are made on the walls so as not to lean against the hot wall with your back.
Well and accordingly, an electric sauna heater is installed and connected to the mains. As already mentioned above, the cable should be in a corrugated casing and go separately from another network immediately to the shield and have its own machine.
That's the way our author built a small sauna in his bathroom, the location in the bathroom is much more profitable because after a steam room you can go out and take a cooling shower, but if your sauna is located on the balcony, you will have to jump like an Indian to the bathroom throughout the room :)))
You will also have to say goodbye to the bathroom and install a shower cabin or a foot sink instead. In general, you choose based on your tastes and preferences.
