Almost every owner of a dacha or country house dreams of building a bathhouse on his or her own plot. However, in practice, everything is not so simple, and in order to build not only a beautiful, but also a functional building, you should take into account many nuances in your work.
In order not to make any mistakes during construction, any undertaking must be preceded by a carefully drawn up project. We will talk about how to develop a project for a 3x6 bathhouse made of timber in this article.
In the photo there is a bathhouse with a terrace 3 by 6 meters.
How to build a bathhouse from 6 by 3 timber
A 6 x 3 timber sauna is a classic version of a steam room on your own country plot. The bathhouse of this design is small and compact. This option is suitable for a family holiday or for a fun time with friends.
A sauna made of timber is durable and retains heat well; on a small terrace you can set up a relaxation area with a barbecue grill.
Characteristics of bath material
A bathhouse can be built from various materials, but timber is the most preferable option. This is due to the following factors:
- Ease of installation.
- No shrinkage.
- Ability to retain heat.
- Unlike a log house, timber elements are laid on the foundation without preliminary assembly.
- Affordable price of the building.
There are 4 main types of bars:
Comparative table of characteristics of laminated veneer lumber and regular timber.
- non-profiled with a rectangular or square section;
- profiled solid;
- glued;
- LVL timber.
For the construction of a home sauna, the most acceptable is considered to be a profiled beam of a solid structure, which has precise dimensions and appropriate processing. This material ensures a tight fit between the wood, which facilitates installation and eliminates additional processing of the walls. The shrinkage of a building made from such material does not exceed 5%.
It is better to make the first crowns of the bathhouse from hardwood timber. This type of wood rots less in conditions of high humidity.
Starting from the 3rd crown, the log house can be built from coniferous wood: spruce or pine. The natural resins contained in this material help retain heat indoors.
The timber material is made in different sections: from 120 x 120 mm to 200 x 200 mm. But the most appropriate for building a house is considered to be timber with dimensions of 150 x 150 mm in longitudinal section. For internal partitions, timber 150 x 100 mm will be sufficient.
Before starting construction, the wood must be treated with antiseptic agents to prevent rotting and the appearance of insects. If there are no special antiseptic liquids, then motor oil can be an excellent alternative.
Project of a 6x3 bathhouse made of timber
Figure 1. Layout of a 6x3 timber bath.
The layout of a 6 by 3 bathhouse is approximately as shown in Figure 1. The usable area of such a structure is 16.8 sq.m. The 6 x 3 bath includes:
- rest room - dressing room;
- shower room with shower and toilet;
- steam room with shelves;
- hallway;
- stove-heater.
Almost half of the room is occupied by a relaxation room, in which there is a table, a TV and benches where they drink tea, and a changing room to leave clothes.
The steam room is designed for 4 people, it should be quite spacious. The height and length of the room should allow each visitor to freely steam and relax. A stove-stove is placed in the steam room, which will generate steam.
The entrance to the bathhouse is decorated with a porch with a canopy. This will protect the building from precipitation.
A tourniquet must be laid between the crowns of the log house, which will prevent the appearance of cold bridges. The height of the first floor of the bathhouse is 2.25 m. The roof is made of rafters, which are represented by 50 x 100 mm timber, and the sheathing is made of 20 mm unedged boards.
Strip foundation for a bathhouse made of timber.
Roofing material is selected based on the customer’s personal preferences and the scale of material capabilities. Ondulin is best suited.
The floors in the bathhouse are laid according to technology: subfloor, steam-waterproofing and insulation. The surface of the finished floor is made of tongue-and-groove floor boards.
The steam room is finished with clapboard, which has a foil lining.
Why do many people prefer a bathhouse with dimensions that have already become classic? Advantages of a 6 x 3 timber bath:
- a small sauna can be placed on your country property;
- a cozy room will bring a lot of joy to all family members at any time of the year;
- a bathhouse made of profiled timber retains heat for a long time and at the same time creates good ventilation;
- When heated, coniferous wood will delight visitors with the pleasant aromas of healing resins;
- neat appearance;
- simple and quick installation of beams.
Construction of foundation and walls
Before starting construction of a bathhouse, you need to mark the site. The construction area will be 6 x 3 m, which should be cleared. At this stage, it is necessary to provide for the location of the drainage pit. Next we move on to the foundation.
Of all the known types of foundation for a bathhouse, it is better to choose a strip foundation. This option is simple and quite suitable for such a light structure as a home sauna.
Making a foundation for a 6 x 3 bathhouse consists of the following steps:
- Digging a trench according to the marking of the site. The depth of the trench depends on the freezing of the soil. In average climatic conditions, this parameter is 1.2 m. The width of the trench should be 30-40 cm.
- A sand cushion 10 cm thick is poured into the bottom of the pit and compacted.
- Laying the reinforcement frame, rods with a diameter of 10 mm.
- Formwork installation.
- Pouring with concrete mixture.
Construction of sauna walls from timber.
The foundation should rise 15-20 cm above the ground. If wooden walls start immediately from the ground, then there is a high probability of rapid rotting of the material.
After a week of pouring concrete, the walls begin to be erected. But first, a layer of waterproofing must be laid on the concrete surface. For this, 2 layers of roofing material or treating the foundation with mastic are suitable.
Next, wooden slats 15 mm thick are laid on the waterproofing along the perimeter, and the space between them is filled with polyurethane foam. This is necessary so that the first crown can be conveniently attached to the foundation, as well as for additional waterproofing.
So, from the 150 x 150 beams, they begin laying the first crown. Before installation, the beams must be checked again for dimensional accuracy and treated with antiseptic impregnation. The evenness of the entire structure depends on the quality of laying the first crown.
The first crown is attached to mortgages. But many experts do not recommend using fastenings, but leave the structures in a free state, in anticipation of future shrinkage.
The remaining rows of the log house are laid on the first crown. Jute insulation is laid between the crowns of the bathhouse. It provides good thermal insulation, prevents the formation of cold bridges, and also prevents the formation of mold. Tow or flax are used as insulation.
The crowns are secured to each other with dowels. These fastenings allow you to preserve the structure of the house without twisting and drying out the beams. These hardware are 6 x 200 nails. The nails are driven in increments of 1 m to a depth of 25-30 cm.
Final work in the construction of a bathhouse
Installation of a wooden floor in a bathhouse.
The door frame is installed on the floor using a plumb line and a level. If this element is skewed, the doors will be very difficult to open.
A gap of up to 80 mm should be left between the door frame and the wall to allow wood to shrink. Once all dimensions are checked, the door block is secured and the cracks are filled with polyurethane foam.
For a 6 x 3 bathhouse, there must be several small windows. Window openings are installed in the same way as in the previous case.
All joints between the boxes and the timber are filled with insulation - tow. But this is done after the frame shrinks.
The roof for a 6 x 3 bath has the following algorithm:
- Beams are laid along the upper crown.
- Rafters are mounted on them in increments of 1 m.
- The rafters are covered with lathing for fastening the roofing material. For soft tiles, plywood is used.
It should be noted that within 1 year a wooden bathhouse shrinks naturally, so it is not worth finishing it with facing materials during this period.
It is better to line the dressing room with boards or lining made of coniferous wood, and the steam room should be finished with deciduous wood.
It is best to line the interior of the bathhouse with linden boards. This material has a beautiful golden color, and when heated, this wood emits a honey aroma. Linden boards are very easy to install: they do not split or deform due to temperature changes. Linden vapors are especially useful for people with a diseased liver or a cold.
The most popular option for finishing a bathhouse is lining. It has a beautiful appearance, is easy to install, and is also inexpensive. To arrange the lining, it is necessary to build a frame and make lathing. Gaps should be left between the walls and the lining, since wood expands when heated. Taking this factor into account, the use of lining reduces the usable area of the room.
A timber bathhouse is an environmentally friendly and warm building designed for family holidays outside the city.
Advantages and disadvantages of frame construction
The 6x3 building can be used as a country house for summer pastime or as full-fledged housing, having previously arranged comfortable living conditions.
Frame technology allows for the construction of such buildings quite quickly. Even when building a large two-story residential building for year-round use, one season is enough to complete all installation work from the foundation to the finishing cladding of the building. An experienced construction team will need no more than 4 months for this.
Frame structures, regardless of size, are lightweight and therefore do not require heavy foundations. And this, as a rule, means significant savings on building materials, a reduction in time spent on building construction, and most importantly, the financial costs of the future owners of the house.
Frame houses practically do not shrink during operation, so immediately after the construction of the frame and roof, the structure can be sheathed and the facade cladding and finishing of the premises can be done inside.
One of the disadvantages is that lumber requires additional treatment with protective agents: against fire, moisture, the formation of fungus and mold, rodents and other harmful insects. And also the period of their operation is much shorter than similar structures made of brick and concrete blocks. But the extreme disadvantage is completely covered by the low cost of the finished structure.
Options for bathhouse designs measuring 6 by 3 m
A bathhouse - at the dacha or in a private house - is a source of pride for any owner. This is a wonderful opportunity not only to get your body in order and improve your health, but also to have a good rest after a working day and recharge your batteries before new working days.
Many people prefer to do the construction themselves, select materials, create an interior, and work out a diagram of where everything will be located. If the space allocated for a bathhouse is not too large in area, you can consider options for bathhouse designs measuring 6 by 3 m.
Preparation for construction
Before purchasing materials and building a foundation, you need to think carefully about the design of a 3x6 m bathhouse and prepare a drawing. It’s not difficult to sketch out the rooms that will be located in a space of 6 by 3 meters.
The main thing is to decide what is preferable, and which room should be given more space and which should have less. For one, a spacious steam room is important and does not need a relaxation room at all; for another, on the contrary, a place where guests can gather for tea is enough, and a compact steam room will suffice. And the third one will decide to replace the rest room with a veranda.
Once the project has been determined, you need to think about finishing materials - inside and outside. The best option is to build a wooden bathhouse. If the building will be erected from concrete blocks or bricks, cladding is required . Whether it will be made from natural materials or imitating natural ones depends on the funds that are planned to be spent on arranging the bathhouse.
The main thing is that everything is done efficiently, in compliance with technology and safety regulations.
Necessary premises
Mandatory premises, whether it is a small bathhouse or a large one, are a steam room and a dressing room. The main thing is to equip the space in the steam room so that there is a sufficient number of shelves. In a small room they should be placed in the form of a staircase . The room should be decorated with wood. The stove is placed in a corner so that you can move freely, but at the same time easy access to the stove must be provided. If it is located too close to a wooden wall, you need to install a protective screen in that place or use brickwork.
Lighting must be designed to be comfortable and safe; lamps must be made of fireproof glass or protected by additional structures. There is no point in filling an already small space with additional items.
The washing room can be made small. The main thing is that there is room for a container of water and free movement of at least two people in the space. To save square meters, you can connect a washing room with a steam room, although experts who know a lot about the bath business do not recommend doing this .
A change room will serve to store necessary things, firewood, coal, bath accessories. Firewood can be in a special box. In some cases, firewood or coal is supplied to the stove directly from the door located in the living room.
There is a waiting room in any bathhouse. And in a compact room it can serve as both a locker room and a rest room at the same time. It should have a wardrobe or convenient hangers. Here you can place a small table with stools, where it’s nice to sit after a bath and drink aromatic tea with fragrant herbs.
To save space, you can provide cabinets or shelves for towels, gels, shampoos, oils. Here, on a separate shelf or in a nightstand, you can place tea leaves, herbs, dishes, and a kettle.
Do-it-yourself extension to a frame bathhouse
Before we move on to considering the components of self-construction of an extension, let me remind you that the frame is not a very strong thing.
How to attach to a frame so that it does not collapse
If we already have a frame bathhouse, then a do-it-yourself extension to the bathhouse should take into account the fragility of the original structure.
Therefore, we propose a radical remedy: do not use an existing structure at all as a support for the one under construction. In other words, build a completely autonomous extension, but very close, literally 2-5 centimeters from the existing bathhouse.
The cracks can be foamed, covered with sheathing, the junction of the roof and the wall (for example) can be connected with a galvanized apron. In general, imitate the unity of two autonomous buildings.
What is the advantage of this method? Both structures can be raised and lowered independently of each other seasonally, without creating stress in the rigid connections (which there are none).
And in general, attaching something to a frame is not an easy task, because you need to hit the racks exactly - other than them there is nothing to hold the mount. Of course, very light things, such as a shelf for shampoo, can be supported by cladding, but we are talking about an extension.
IMPORTANT! It is worth remembering that in a durable frame bath there are only upper and lower frames and corner posts made of timber (or double boards).
Russian bathhouse 6x3 meters. Layout
In terms of the composition of the premises, a 6x3 meter bathhouse resembles a layout with dimensions of 6 by 6 meters. It is not difficult to calculate that its area is smaller, but the functionality is the same. In addition, the order of the rooms in it is more rational - the rest room (1) is on the left, the steam room (3) is on the right, and the washing compartment (2) is in the middle. The toilet and shower are separated by a common wall. It is not difficult
to install sewerage and water supply in the bathhouse The proximity of the washing compartment to the steam room will ensure ease of maintenance of the latter. The steam room is spacious enough for 4 people to steam in it at the same time. The length of the shelf allows one visitor to lie down comfortably and enjoy a steam bath . For ease of maintenance of the stove-heater (6), its firebox is located in the hallway (4). You can also store the necessary supply of firewood there. It would also be nice to make a dressing room in it for outerwear and shoes.
The porch and entrance to the bathhouse are covered with a canopy, which, without a doubt, is another positive factor in favor of this plan - it will protect from precipitation all year round.
The rest room can easily accommodate a table, chairs, and a lounger. If desired, you can install a TV. And then, for sure, every visit to the bathhouse will turn into a real vacation.
Basic data for the layout of a Russian bathhouse 6x3 meters
- The building area based on the foundation is 23.30 sq. m. m.
- Building area – 21.76 sq. m.
- Usable area: Total – 16.82 sq. m.
- Without hallway – 15.11 sq.m. m.
- Log, diameter – 200 mm.
Legend:
1 – Rest room (dressing room); 2 – washing compartment; 3 – steam room; 4 – hallway; 5 – stove-heater; 6 – toilet; 7 – shower cabin; 8 – shelves for hovering.
This layout of a 6x3 Russian bathhouse made of logs will be a godsend for many summer residents who want to build their own bathhouse. I did not set out to tell in this short article about its full project, but presented only its layout so that you could evaluate it and make the right choice before starting construction.

Kinds
When planning the construction of a bathhouse, first of all, you need to decide what it will be like. Don't take ideas from your head. It is better to focus on classical concepts. Let's look at the most popular types of baths from around the world.
To begin with, it is worth mentioning the division of buildings according to humidity level:
- The first category includes baths that are heated with dry steam. The temperature in such rooms is the highest. It varies from sixty to one hundred and twenty degrees. The humidity there, on the contrary, is very low - no higher than twenty-five percent.
- The second group is damp baths. In such rooms the temperature is lower - about 60 degrees. But the humidity is increased.
- Water baths are heated with hot water.
All types of rooms are heated according to these principles:
- Roman. One of the oldest types of baths. It consists of five rooms that are connected to each other. The first room is called the dressing room. The second is conventionally called warm. If in the first room the temperature is very low, then in this room it is already rising. In the third, hot one, it’s even warmer. And the fourth is already called the steam room. Traditionally, the temperature in this room reaches 85 degrees. In some cases it is even higher. The fifth is considered unloading and it is already getting colder there.
- Irish. This type of bath is similar to the previous one. But there are also some differences. The most important of them is that the rooms here do not connect to one another, but open with doors into a common corridor. So you don’t necessarily need to move from one room to another, you can go into any one you want.
- Russian. This is the most familiar type of bathhouse for us. In such a building there is always a small dressing room, washing room and steam room. In the steam room there is another distinctive detail of the Russian bath - a real stove.
- Finnish. This type of steam room is also called a sauna. The Finnish sauna consists of one room. It is heated using hot steam. The humidity in the room is reduced to a minimum.
Bathhouse layout 3x6m - two options
Layout of a 3x6 bathhouse with sequentially located rooms
An acquaintance decided to build a 3x6m bathhouse with a single frame, with internal walls made of logs: a six-wall structure. He asks about the layout options for a 3x6m bathhouse.
Naturally, the first and main layout option suggests itself: a sequential arrangement of rooms from the entrance: relaxation room, washing room, steam room.
We have previously considered 3x6 bathhouse projects with the following layout:
- porch (entrance to the bathhouse) from the very edge of the log house under a separate canopy
- the porch is almost in the middle of the log house under the canopy
- porch in the middle of the log house with a veranda under the same roof as the bathhouse
This layout is most optimal if you are not going to build an attic and will only use the first floor.
With this arrangement, there is one small inconvenience: the loading (combustion) chamber of the sauna stove opens into the washing room. This means that a certain amount of dry firewood should lie near it. And the washing room is designed so that you do not limit yourself in the process of washing and dousing with water. There is only one way out: move the washing stove and shower into different corners.
In addition, the location of the combustion stove opposite the front door is the most correct solution: the minimum distance, without crossing the entire room. In this case, you can bring logs to heat the stove from the rest room.
You can, of course, put the stove in the steam room along with the furnace room. But, nevertheless, it is more comfortable for steamers to heat from a washing room compared to a steam room. And it will be warmer in the washing room.
The second layout option is suitable for those who want to equip additional living space in the attic space for themselves or guests.
By reducing the area of the steam room and washing room, you can increase the area of the rest room, in which you can place a staircase to the second floor.
6x3 bathhouse layout with a large relaxation room
Or for those who do not need a large steam room, but want a larger relaxation room, which can be equipped with a small kitchen and a dining table for guests.
Again, let me remind you that if in the first option it is not so important what logs you order when cutting a log house:
- according to external dimensions
- according to internal dimensions
- along the axes
With consecutive rooms, reducing the internal size of the rooms due to the thickness of the logs will not play such a big role; or rather, it will not be noticeable that the inside is not 3 m, but 2.8 m, if you did not discuss this nuance when ordering.
In the second option, this point is very important, because, usually, by default, loggers use a 3m log and then inside you will have a log house width of 2.8 or 2.5m.
Taking into account the adjacent location of the steam room and washing room, which are also separated by a log interior wall, these rooms will turn out to be quite small.
Pay attention to this point and when ordering, discuss that you need the internal width of the log house to be 3 m. They will offer you the option of chopping into the paw and will use a log of slightly longer length.
Also, do not discount the option of using the attic space in the bathhouse as an attic:
- the attic floor will always be warm, because there are warm rooms below and not cold ground
- by insulating the roof on cool days it will be warm enough (you can also heat the sauna stove) to live there until late autumn
- Due to the same insulation, there will be no “steam room” on hot days. It’s hot and it’s hot everywhere when it’s 30 degrees outside. But you can make two windows at the ends and create a draft...
The layout of the 3x6 m bathhouse allows you to have three main rooms for bathing procedures and comfortable relaxation.
Video description
About the layout of four rooms in the following video:
The basic package of a turnkey 3x6 bathhouse includes the following elements (the set may vary from company to company):
- Logs, strapping, rafter system; are treated with an antiseptic composition that prevents the appearance of fungus.
- The slope of the floor in the washing room is 3%. High-quality drainage allows the floor to dry out faster, and the foundation is not subject to the destructive effects of water.
- Shower tray with drain siphon.
- Window; usually there are three of them - in the relaxation room, washing room and steam room.
- Frame-panel doors with insulation. Depending on the presence of a vestibule, there may be three or four of them.
- The finishing of the walls and ceiling of the steam room and shower is made of dry coniferous lining, the shelves are made of linden or aspen, the wood of which does not emit resin. This material is durable and environmentally friendly; it is ideal for interior decoration of a bathhouse.
- The corners of the log house are insulated and covered with boards.

At the request of the customer, additional options are included:
- A metal entrance door is being installed.
- The roofing material is replaced (for example, euro slate with metal tiles).
- A warm floor is installed in the rest room.
- A shower cabin is installed (if it is possible to connect to the water supply).
The final cost includes the price of delivery of lumber, work and equipment. Without taking into account the work on constructing the foundation, the cost of a bathhouse made of corrugated timber with a cross-section of 100x150 mm starts from 300-330 thousand rubles, with a cross-section of 150x150 mm - from 350-370 thousand rubles.
Project of a 6 by 3 bathhouse with a terrace photo
We finished the bathhouse in Zeleny Bor. The project is made of a 6 by 3 log frame with 2 partitions. The log house has three separate zones: a steam room, a washing room and a relaxation room. Also, a frame terrace is attached to the log house along its entire length. Which is extremely convenient! A separate desire of the client was to increase the roof ridge. So that in the future the attic can be used as an additional room in the country house.
The time of year they built in gold was autumn. It was so lucky that Indian summer arrived. It was very comfortable and pleasant to build. Construction was completed on the 14th day after arrival. Now the client has his own cozy relaxation corner in his country house!

Features of construction and configuration of a wooden bathhouse
Turnkey construction means that after completion of the work, the bathhouse complex will be completely ready for operation. The customer becomes the owner of the bathhouse, in which utilities are installed, windows and doors are installed, and the stove is ready for use. This is preceded by multi-stage painstaking work, consisting of the following stages:
- Territory analysis, project development. If a standard project is used, it may require modification. An estimate is drawn up and a contract is signed.
- Construction materials are being delivered to the site.
- The foundation is being laid. Depending on the selected wall material, a strip or pile-screw foundation is selected.
- The frame is assembled, including walls, roof, floors and ceilings, windows and doors.
- Finishing is in progress.
- Communications are installed, the stove chosen by the customer is installed (the work of the stove maker and electrician is paid separately).
- The object is handed over to the happy owner, who accepts the work and begins to use the bathhouse for its intended purpose.
Veranda under the attic
Attic - a sloping or peaked roof. Its advantage is that one part can be taken far beyond the walls of the bathhouse. You will get a console under which it is easy to arrange a veranda.
In this case, the task of building a foundation is simplified. To ensure the strength of the structure, it is enough to drive 4 piles - at the corners of the veranda and in the entrance area. The main load will be transferred to the base of the bathhouse, but the increase in weight will be insignificant: the mass of a wooden attic differs little from the mass of a gable roof.
This option for adding an attic can be considered the most technologically advanced and profitable: the bathhouse not only receives an additional platform, but a new room appears in it.
The labor intensity of the work is relatively high, but such a game is worth the effort.
When the main points are determined, you can begin the construction itself.
- Pouring the foundation.
Step one. The perimeter of the future bathhouse is determined in advance; special pegs are driven into the ground along its edges, within which it is necessary to dig a ditch 60 centimeters deep and 40 centimeters wide.
Step two. The ditch is filled with sand to one third of the depth. The sand is poured from above with water and thoroughly compacted.
Step three. After compacting the first layer, finely chopped red brick or gravel is poured over it.
Step four. A layer of broken brick or gravel is covered with a layer of sand, which should be level with the ground level.
Step five. Formwork is assembled from reinforcement. The entire structure is poured with concrete and insulated on top with a thin layer of roofing felt.
Important! Before building a frame bath, at least a week should pass so that the foundation has the opportunity to properly settle
- Construction of walls.
Step one. Lumber prepared for a frame bath must be thoroughly dried before starting work. It is not recommended to use birch wood for construction, as it quickly rots. The best option would be linden, aspen or larch
The wood of these species is able to maintain its shape for a long time and has thermal insulation properties, which is very important for a bathhouse.
Step two. After all construction work is completed, the inside of the boards should be coated with an antiseptic solution, and the outside with furniture varnish, in two layers. This procedure must be done around the entire perimeter of the room, avoiding only the steam room and the washing compartment.
Step three. The bottom trim, made of a reliable beam with a cross-section of 10x10 centimeters, must be fixed firmly enough, after which the beams should be properly fastened at the corners with nails. It is recommended to place the racks on metal pins so that during the construction of the walls they cannot change their location and knock down the structure.
Step four. Corner posts must be embedded in concrete.
Advice: The pillars - the basis of the walls of the future bathhouse - should be placed directly under load-bearing walls, corners, stoves - that is, in those places where the load is greatest.
Step five. Along the perimeter of the walls, intermediate racks are installed, made of the same timber as the main structure.
Step six. To make the floor waterproof, it should be laid out with timber made of any wood, with a cross-section of 15x15 centimeters.
- Let's move on to building the roof.
Step one. It is necessary to take 8 special ceiling beams, sawn to the angle of the rafters. To begin with, you should set up only the outer rafters, and only after that fix a couple more pieces in the center of the future roof. The remaining rafters are connected to the main structure, first on one side of the roof, then on the other (through the ridge).
Step two. After the rafters, vertical posts are installed, and if necessary, an exit to the attic is also made.
Step three. On the rafters located at the edges, beams are cut out, to which the front boards are nailed, after which the battens are attached on top.
- It is necessary to insulate the walls.
The most common material for this purpose is roll insulation about 50 millimeters thick. In some cases, mineral wool or ready-made mats are used. The insulation is laid between vertical wooden posts, after which slats are nailed to them. For thermal insulation of the room, it is recommended to use polyethylene or glassine.
Advice: it is not recommended to use roofing felt for wall insulation, since under the influence of high temperatures it begins to emit an unpleasant odor.
For floor insulation, it is better to choose expanded clay or other types of backfill, and for the ceiling - polystyrene foam. If the insulation is selected correctly, heat will be lost several times less. Thanks to this, the cost of heating the bath will also be reduced.
After the walls and roof are built, you can begin installing windows and doors in the openings previously left for them. Upon completion of this work, it will be possible to enter the finish line.
