How to make a shower in a bathhouse: arrangement, features of use, DIY installation tips

The bath complex includes a steam room, a dressing room, a washing room and a relaxation room. In more primitive, compact designs, the last two rooms are absent, but rest will be deprived of a certain comfort. There are many traditions associated with the Russian bathhouse in our country. The benefits of steaming were highly valued back in the days of Ancient Rus'. Even any poor person washed himself in the bathhouse every Saturday; perhaps it was precisely this regularity that determined the heroic health for which the Russians were famous. The structure was always erected on the outskirts, away from residential buildings. Although the explanation for this is easy to find in folklore (dirt and the concentration of unclean spirits), it is more likely that our ancestors observed basic fire safety rules. There were no icons in the bathhouse; they tried not to bring utensils from it into the house. Superstitions said that it was chosen as a home by a small dirty trickster - a bannik, who, like the brownie, had to be constantly appeased with food.

All ritual fortune-telling took place in this building, because the holy images here did not keep an eye on the young girls eager to find out the name of their betrothed. Although modern alternatives to baths have now appeared - saunas (Finnish version), Jacuzzis, Japanese barrels, they still remain relevant. The most “soulful” holiday is spent here. Moreover, the process of steaming with birch brooms and herbal steam takes up only a small part of leisure time, and special attention is paid to friendly conversations in the relaxation room after the procedures. The washing area in the bathhouse is necessary for rinsing after the steam room. Some people think that you need to come here washed, because on clean skin the pores open better under the influence of steam, because the procedure is more designed for healing. In the article we will look at examples of arranging washing stations and the rules for their design.

Ventilation

Before you start using any bathhouse, you need to take care of a high-quality ventilation system. There are two types of similar systems that are relevant for wooden showers:

1. Natural - two windows located at different heights. Through one, the flow of fresh air enters the room, through the other it is discharged outside.
2. Forced - the design resembles a natural system, but a fan is installed at the exhaust vent, which speeds up the process of air circulation in the room.

The second ventilation option is suitable for large showers. The first is sufficient for small buildings.

Selection of finishing material

When building a bathhouse for a family in a private house, it is best to use hardwood with low thermal conductivity. The material can be selected according to color, texture, smell, and healing properties.

Alder has a variety of textures and shades. Wood is resistant to moisture and has healing antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Linden has diaphoretic and cleansing properties. The material is strong, durable, relatively inexpensive, has a soft pink color and looks aesthetically pleasing.

Cedar is a useful and expensive material for a sauna. It has high bactericidal properties and an attractive appearance.

You should not use pine in the steam room. When heated, it releases resin, which can cause a burn upon contact.

What should the floor be like in a sauna?

The sauna floor must be made of moisture-resistant materials, non-slip and resistant to high temperatures. If this is a tree, it is better to choose deciduous species, because they are more resistant to moisture. When using a wooden lattice, it must be treated with a special varnish. The place where the heater will be located is deepened a little, and hydro- and thermal insulation is laid out. To prevent water from accumulating on the floor, it is made with a slight slope towards the drain. Although this is not necessary in a dry sauna. A wooden plinth with a height of 8 cm or more is usually installed between the wall and the floor.

Room layout

Finishing the shower room in the bathhouse should begin after planning the room. To do this, it is recommended to draw up a separate drawing of the room, which indicates the location of the washing room elements. Features of drawing up a plan:

1. A shower with a mixer should be installed in a place where it is more convenient to supply cold and hot water through the pipeline.
2. Along the perimeter of the room, shelves should be fixed on which washcloths, shampoos, and soaps will be placed.
3. It is better to leave the central washing area free. This place will be convenient for dousing yourself with cool water after the steam room.

It is necessary to arrange the shower elements so that they do not interfere with movement and water procedures.

Benefits of a home sauna

We will talk about a city apartment, because with suburban housing everything is a little simpler. On a summer cottage they usually build a bathhouse - a separate house with several compartments, one of which is occupied by a sauna or steam room.

Urban housing extremely rarely involves having your own plot of land (unless you are the owner of a cottage in the private sector), so the only place where you can place a sauna or steam room is your own apartment

As a rule, typical housing is equipped with a bathroom with a shower or bathtub. Usually this is enough to monitor your own hygiene: those who like to soak in some water choose a bath, and those who are constantly in a hurry choose a shower.

Everything seems to be fine, then why do you need a sauna? Why does almost every second Finnish apartment have a separate room with temperatures reaching 100ºC?

In fact, a sauna is a place where you can put your body, thoughts and emotions in order. The relaxation that comes after visiting the steam room can be compared to a professional massage: all muscles and organs relax.

It has been scientifically proven that regulars of steam rooms have a stronger immune system, a positive attitude, excellent physical shape and are much less likely to get sick. Even the above is enough to understand why many cannot imagine life without a “hot” holiday.

A visit to the sauna is a great occasion to meet a friend or relative whom you haven’t seen for a long time, or, on the contrary, a great place to be alone

How to properly decorate the inside of a bathhouse?

Construction of a bathhouse requires a thoughtful approach. Initially, care should be taken to select special finishing materials. Particularly popular are:

• Lining made from natural wood.
• Tile designed for bathing areas.

Finishing the bath with tiles

• Material imitating timber.
• Special weave made from beech or wicker.
• Block house made from slab.

You can create the interior of the bathhouse that matches your wishes. By giving preference to natural materials, you can enjoy the wonderful aroma of wood. It is very easy to breathe in such a room.

Finishing the bath with natural wood

High-quality materials allow you to create a wonderful bathhouse interior. It makes sense to simultaneously order furniture that fits perfectly with the chosen style. This solution looks stylish and puts you in a positive mood.

Tips for choosing equipment

As we said above, the trendsetters in this area are the Germans, Italians, and, oddly enough, Czech manufacturers who have been making high-quality shower stands for a long time. China is not far behind, whose “craftsmen” are trying their best to produce something worthy, but in reality it turns out that even a product carefully copied from the products of famous brands turns out to be so poor that it does not bring its owner a drop of moral satisfaction. The most unpleasant thing in this whole story is that the Chinese comrades, without further ado, imitate the products of famous brands, easily changing the name, or even completely engaging in outright plagiarism. Therefore, here are some tips:

• If funds and opportunities allow, purchase European products;
• Don't fall for the tricks of marketers. The presence of most of the functions in the booth is not needed, and if we are talking about Chinese products, then the more possibilities there are in their semi-finished product, the faster this “high-tech product” will fail;
• Focus on functionality first. In the vast majority of cases, in a bathhouse, an ordinary open cabin with good and reliable plumbing fittings is enough to simply take a shower. In this regard, it is worth taking a closer look at the Czechs. Excellent European quality, for quite reasonable money;
• If you choose a closed-type booth, then pay attention, in addition to the quality of the plumbing, to the quality and fit of the rollers and guides in systems with sliding doors and moving units in hinged ones. The supporting frame must be rigid, and the metal parts must be made of stainless steel. Pay special attention to the pallet. It should not “breathe”, and the body itself should be carefully reinforced with a polymer thread, the quality of which can be seen from the inside of the pallet. Avoid fittings made of silumin, centrifugal casting or injection molding. Such material is prone to fractures in places where stress is concentrated, and silumin cannot be welded, soldered or glued;
• If you prefer broadly functional designs, then consider the capabilities of your own communications to unlock the full potential of such products. For example, massage nozzles can only operate if there is sufficient pressure in the supply hydraulic line. If the water supply network does not provide the minimum required pressure, you will have to install a hydraulic accumulator with a supply pump;
• Transparent glass panels are more demanding in terms of quality and care. Frosted glass hides stains from hard water to a greater extent;
• Cabins with a built-in water heating tank, in most cases, have a boiler with a reduced resource, which is especially evident in conditions of water supply from main networks or wells and wells that are not equipped with a water treatment system.

Finishing materials

In Russian baths, steam had a special healing effect due to contact with the interior decoration made of logs. Wood has “breathable” pores that emit a unique aroma when exposed to high humidity. For this reason, bathhouses are not built from coniferous trees, as they emit resin. For interior decoration, it is not recommended to use artificial materials that can release toxins when heated: PVC panels and tiles, artificial stone, brick, MDF, and chipboard. The latter seem harmless, since they are based on waste from the woodworking industry, but the adhesive that holds the sawdust together can release harmful substances when heated. External walls are clad with clapboards. The interior is finished with thermolipa boards (a special material for baths) or block house. The floor is laid with planks or tiles, and the ceiling is lined with clapboard. In order for the required temperature regime to be maintained in the building for a long time, it is necessary to insulate it efficiently. For these purposes, three layers of different materials are used:

• Vapor barrier. Foil insulation is used.
• Mineral wool. Lightweight and non-flammable material.
• Waterproofing film.

The resulting layered insulating “cake” is covered with finishing materials that perform a decorative function.

Features of the arrangement

The toilet must be protected from the penetration of steam and moisture. Waterproofing a bathroom in a bathhouse is an important condition for its arrangement. During construction, the walls of this room must be covered with a layer of moisture-proof material, which, as a rule, is roofing felt or thick polyethylene film. In addition, it is necessary to provide a vapor barrier, for which a layer of polymer film with foil is laid. In attached toilets, there is also a need for thermal insulation. It is made of mineral wool, polystyrene foam and other materials. A corner bathhouse with a bathroom also requires increased attention, where the likelihood of exposure to moisture from the outside should also be taken into account.

The bath floor must be waterproofed

The most important requirement is the organization of reliable exhaust ventilation. In addition to ventilating storage tanks, it is necessary to remove contaminated air from the bathroom itself. The ventilation riser is installed with access to the bathhouse roof at a height of at least 60 cm above it. The riser should not be located in close proximity to the chimney.

In the bathroom for a bath, it is necessary to provide ventilation so that the smell quickly goes away and fungus and mold do not form

The interior decoration of a bathroom in a bathhouse is no different from the arrangement of toilets in an apartment. Ceramic tiles are recognized as the most common facing material. If there is a bathhouse made of timber with a bathroom, then the interior decoration is most often carried out with clapboard, not forgetting about the formation of ventilation gaps.

Types of interior design of baths

The classic layout of a bathhouse includes 3 rooms: a dressing room (dressing room), a washing room (shower room) and a steam room. Although in traditional Russian baths the steam room and shower can be combined. All additional premises - a font (swimming pool), a games room (billiards), a kitchen, a recreation area, a toilet, a smoking room - are a matter of financial capabilities and personal preferences of the owners.

The interior of an old-style bathhouse can be complemented with forged elements, wooden household items and utensils decorated with carvings. Walls decorated with oak, birch brooms or bundles of fragrant herbs will also look colorful.

Sauna cabins for one, two people

The booths are available pre-fabricated or assembled from individual panels. The product can be placed in the bathroom

It is important that there are a few centimeters between the ceiling and the top of the booth. The average height of the product is about 2 m

Even if the bathroom is small, there is room in it for a cubicle designed for one person. The key advantage of the finished structure is the proper placement of ventilation and stove.

Saunas have an important and often decisive advantage over a Russian bath - they are universal, it is easier to build them from scratch or install them in an already finished room. There is a wide choice of dimensions and materials of the product

More often natural wood is used, such as linden or aspen. The doors of the structure are often made of glass. Custom manufacturing is necessary if you want to implement an original design. Then the booth can complement the style created in the bathroom or become the highlight of the room

There is a wide choice of dimensions and materials of the product. More often natural wood is used, such as linden or aspen. The doors of the structure are often made of glass. Custom manufacturing is necessary if you want to implement an original design. Then the booth can complement the style created in the bathroom or become the highlight of the room.

It all depends on the amount of available space, the choice of sauna capacity and the financial capabilities of the homeowners.

Pumping equipment for cold water supply

In conditions where a residential building or cottage is connected to a central water supply system or has an autonomous water supply, it is enough to lay a water and sewer pipeline to the bathhouse.

If the pressure in the finished system is low or the water is supplied from a hydraulic structure - a well or a well, then it is recommended to use pumping equipment.

There are several types of water pumps:

• Submersible pumps are used to supply water from shallow sources - wells, wells, rivers, reservoirs and lakes.
• Surface pumps draw water from sources up to 7 meters deep. Such devices are suitable for water supply systems with a constant level of pressure.
• Deep pumps are designed to supply water from deep-sea sources and are used for private wells of small diameter.

When designing a shower water supply system, it is recommended to pay attention to the selection of cleaning filters. This is important in cases where water is supplied from open water sources.

Coarse and fine filtration units are used to purify water. The first ensures cleaning from sand, mechanical impurities and blooming algae. The second prevents silt deposits and small debris from entering the water.

Rest room

The dressing room is the first room in which a person enters the bathhouse. This is the coolest and most spacious room; often there is a window in the dressing room.

This room is used for relaxation between “couple sessions”. A table is often set up inside the dressing room, where people gather to drink tea or something stronger and just talk. Sofas, armchairs or benches are installed around the table.

Advice! If there is high humidity in the dressing room, it is better to install wooden furniture. Fabric sofas and chairs can become infected with mold and mildew.

The interior and style of the relaxation room largely depends on the habits and preferences of the bathhouse owners. Here you can put a billiards table, a TV, a refrigerator with a microwave, or even a karaoke system.

An important accessory and irreplaceable part of a relaxation room in a bathhouse is dishes. It is better to choose original cups and plates with folk motifs in the ornament. The central decoration of the table in the bathhouse can be a Russian samovar, bright and colorful.

Possible designs

In principle, a toilet in a bathhouse can be of 2 types: mobile (portable) and stationary. If the bathroom is organized in an existing structure, then the first option is more suitable. In a small bathhouse built long ago, all the rooms are clearly laid out according to the required area, where there is no isolated “nook” for the toilet. In this case, lightweight standard partitions are installed and a local container is provided for collecting waste.

For an already built bathhouse without a bathroom, you can use a portable dry toilet, separating it with a partition

A permanent bathroom is included in the construction plan already at the design stage. It has its own permanent walls and door. The sewer drain is formed in advance and ensures the operation of the establishment. The option of an attached stationary toilet is possible, when it is built in close proximity to the bathhouse foundation, and the entrance to it is organized from the bathhouse room.

A stationary toilet must be installed at the bathhouse design stage

Mobile structures include mobile cabins and dry closets. Mobile cabins are made in the form of light partitions, and disposable containers are installed to collect sewage, which are emptied after the bath procedure. One of the common options is a powder closet, or dry toilet. In it, the container is filled with sawdust or peat, which absorb sewage. To clean it outside the bathhouse, a sealed, storage septic tank is built, periodically cleaned by vacuum cleaners. This design does not have a sewer drain, but ventilation must be equipped. For this purpose, a ventilation duct with an exhaust fan is installed. Mobile booths are installed in the dressing room or rest room.

The dry toilet is filled with peat or sawdust

A more expensive, but reliable, modern version of a mobile bathroom is a dry closet. It is a mobile, ready-made stall with a toilet. There is no need to connect sewerage to it, because... Sewage is collected using a two-section container. Sections are arranged vertically. The upper compartment, connected to the toilet and water tank, is equipped with a pump that flushes feces into the lower section.

Structure of a dry closet

The lower part with a volume of 10-25 liters is designed to accumulate runoff. This storage tank is equipped with a valve and a pipe for cleaning the container. A chemical-type dry closet uses special reagents that break down solid components and eliminate odors. High-quality dry closets are equipped with tank full indicators. Regardless of the speed of filling the container, the effect of chemical reagents lasts for 12-14 days, after which you will have to clean the container and introduce a new portion of the reagent.

Special reagents are used to care for the dry closet.

The electric dry closet is considered the most effective. It costs more, but does not require the use of chemicals, and the filling cycle lasts much longer. In this design, the lower section is divided into 2 compartments - storage units for the liquid and solid fractions, and drying is carried out in the compartment for collecting solid waste. The liquid fraction, significantly diluted with water, can be sent to the drainage system of the bathhouse.

Waiting room

The room is not hot, but retains heat. Therefore, coniferous species will be an excellent material for finishing here. Their noble aroma is not only pleasant, but also incredibly useful. Phytoncides have a beneficial effect on the immune system, stimulate the body's resistance to various infections and improve overall well-being. Let's look at the main types:

• Pine is a very popular material for dressing a dressing room, because it has a number of advantages: economical, durable, environmentally friendly and quite durable. May change color slightly over time, acquiring a reddish tint. Scandinavian pine with smooth pinkish wood is becoming increasingly popular. Its annual rings have an original decorative pattern;
• spruce – has a uniform structure, does not crack when drying, and is slightly lighter in color than pine wood;
• fir - the main characteristics are almost the same as spruce, while almost no resin is released from its wood.

Birch is a good option for a deciduous tree for a dressing room. In any case, when decorating, the main thing is to follow the basic rule - the entire room should be paneled with the same type of wood.

Finishing material

Not all finishing materials are suitable for covering walls, ceilings, and floors inside the washing room. This is due to the influence of destructive factors.

Wood paneling and panels

Wood panels and lining are popular, classic finishing materials for Russian baths. They help give the room its originality.

Lining can be made from different types of wood:

• conifers - spruce, cedar, pine;
• deciduous - alder, aspen, linden, oak.

Coniferous lining is suitable for finishing recreation areas. For the washing room it is better to choose finishing material made of hardwood.

Benefits of wood:

• durability, strength;
• environmental friendliness;
• attractive appearance;
• ease of processing.

Flaws:

1. Conifers secrete resin.
2. Wood is destroyed by moisture and deformed by temperature changes.
3. Fungus and mold often form on the panels.

To level out the shortcomings, the wood must be treated with special antiseptics.

Tile

Tile is not suitable for a steam room, since its surfaces quickly heat up under the influence of high temperatures, but for a washing room it would be the best option.

Advantages:

1. Durability, reliability.
2. Resistance to mechanical stress.
3. Large selection of drawings.
4. Easy to care for. To clean the tiles from dirt, you can wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth.
5. Resistant to moisture and temperature changes.

Flaws:

1. High price compared to wood, paint, plastic panels.
2. Fragility. Tiles can easily break if accidentally dropped or hit.

You can lay the floor with tiles, but we must not forget that this is a cold material that will be unpleasant to walk on barefoot. To correct this drawback, you can install a “Warm Floor” system.

Artificial and natural stone

Such materials are used if you want to get a non-standard surface design.

Advantages:

• attractive appearance;
• large selection of sizes;
• durability, mechanical resistance, strength, wear resistance;
• immunity to moisture and temperature changes.

Flaws:

• high price;
• heavy weight.

To reduce the risk of stone collapse when fastening to walls, masonry should not be made higher than 50 cm.

Natural stone (Photo: Instagram / zelenii_kamen_perm)

Plastic panels

A universal finishing material that is resistant to aggressive factors. The panels cannot be used in a steam room, but they are suitable for a washing room and dressing room.

Advantages:

• resistance to moisture, temperature changes, ultraviolet radiation, chemicals;
• strength, durability;
• large selection of colors and designs;
• low price.

Flaws:

1. Mechanical stability is not as high as that of other finishing materials.
2. When exposed to extreme heat, the plastic begins to deteriorate.

It is better to choose panels from well-known manufacturers. Poor quality products may emit harmful substances during operation.

Dye

On sale you can find various painting compositions that are suitable for coating concrete walls in conditions of high humidity, but paint is considered a less popular finishing material because it does not look as attractive as its analogues and has low resistance to aggressive factors.

Lighting

Lighting is recommended to be diffused. It does not strain the eyes and encourages relaxation. The best option: a competent combination of natural and artificial lighting. There are always windows in the rest room, so they are kept open during the day so that soft sunlight can easily enter the room. At night, spotlights scattered around the perimeter, a ceiling chandelier and a couple of sconces on the walls in the area of ​​accent zones are used. It is not recommended to choose heavy-duty or neon lamps. The former do not promote relaxation, while the latter provide cold, uncomfortable light.

Basic rules and recommendations for creating an interior

To ensure a pleasant stay, it is necessary to properly plan the space. If the size of the bathhouse is very small, then the rest room is the dressing room. Due to the compact size of the dressing room, it is worth abandoning bulky furniture. It must be practical and safe. Passages should be free, which facilitates movement and avoids injury.

The rest room should be decorated in the same style as the entire bathhouse

Cozy environment for a comfortable stay

A large bathhouse usually has several rooms, in addition to a steam room and a dressing room; there may be a room with a swimming pool, a changing room, and a shower, which provides more space for implementing various stylistic solutions.

The conditional division of the recreation room into functional zones allows you to make maximum use of the usable space without cluttering it at the same time. It is advisable that the interior of the relaxation room in the bathhouse be done in the same style, everything should be combined. Mandatory interior items are a large table, comfortable sofas or benches, cabinets for storing small items (medicinal herbs, tea, jars of oils, creams), hangers.

Most things and design elements should be of natural origin

Pros and cons of combination

The correct layout of the washing room will be one that takes into account the necessary standards and at the same time is most convenient for bathhouse owners. The washing room can be made either a separate room or combined with a steam room.

Photo of the layout and design of a steam room combined with a washing room

Owners choose a combined option:

• saving space;
• saving construction costs;
• solving the issue of simultaneous heating of premises for different purposes.

Experts recommend separating even small rooms with partitions.

1. The washing room department will create ideal conditions for each of the rooms. The steam room will have a stable temperature, and the wash room will not be too hot. In addition, if the sink is combined with a steam room, this may be unsafe for health. The process of washing in a hot steam room can lead to problems with blood pressure and heart. And increased humidity during a visit to the steam room can negatively affect the condition of the lungs. Option for planning a bathhouse and shower
2. It is better to protect the steam room from excessive humidity, which invariably accompanies the washing process. This rule is especially necessary for Finnish-type bath complexes, in which the stove design is electric. For a non-dry type steam room, humidity is a temperature regulator.

3. Despite the fact that the bathhouse is a place of rest and relaxation, it is worth remembering that this is a high-risk room. It is the combination of a steam room and a washing room that often causes domestic injuries. Unlike static steaming, washing is a dynamic process and requires a sufficient area. A stove located in a shower or washing area must be safe. This also applies to those layouts in which the steam room is located in a separate room, but the stove is heated from the shower room. If it is a metal structure, users should be protected from accidental contact and burns. To do this, all hot elements should be covered with bricks.

   
   Bathhouse layout option with washroom and rest room

If it is not possible to actually divide the rooms, you can:

• place the wash room on the lower level and the steam room on the upper level;
• partially limit the steam room area by creating a non-blank wall between them, into a light partition with a wide passage;
• use a small insulated shower compartment as a washroom;
• if the area allows, you can install a ready-made shower stall.

Option for planning a sauna with a relaxation room

The advantages of separate placement of the washing room and the steam room clearly indicate the need for such a section.

Electricity and ventilation

A humid environment conducts current well, so the panel, distribution box and switch are mounted in the dressing room. Sockets are prohibited from being installed in the washing room. The safest place from short circuiting is the changing room.

In a wooden bathhouse, open wiring is used, which is pulled through the attic. When lighting the shower, install moisture-resistant electrical appliances. The models feature a ceramic socket, a heat-resistant lampshade and a wooden lampshade.

Humidity will become a breeding ground for mold, which destroys the finish of the shower in the bathhouse and is dangerous to human health. To reduce the level in the room, ventilation is carried out. Natural air circulation provides pressure differential and ventilation. A forced system (fan, air conditioner) pumps in oxygen, and the filters are cleaned of contaminants.

Plastic panels

Finishing a washing room in a wooden bath using PVC panels is an affordable and cheap option. This material is characterized by high moisture resistance, practicality and ease of installation. It is used for cladding ceiling and wall surfaces. Thanks to the wide range of models and variety of colors, you can choose the most suitable option for cladding wall and ceiling surfaces.

The walls and ceiling in the washroom, lined with plastic panels or lining, can look quite presentable.

The advantages of the material include:

• affordable price;
• practicality;
• resistance to high humidity;
• easy installation on a wooden grid or adhesive base;
• attractive appearance.

PVC cashing has some disadvantages:

• susceptibility to mechanical stress;
• tendency to darken and burn out;
• short service life;
• low environmental friendliness.

How to create a stylish bathhouse interior

If you have a desire to build a bathhouse, then you need to carefully consider every step. If you have free time, you can start building the object yourself. However, it makes sense to turn to specialists.

Professional designers will help you create a project that takes into account all the subtleties of the external and internal design of the bathhouse

Workers will pay special attention to the choice of materials, and will also apply the correct technology for finishing the premises.

Design project for the interior of the dressing room

If you turn to specialists, the finishing of the bathhouse inside will be done professionally:

1.The dressing room will be decorated in a style corresponding to village life.

2. The room intended for washing will be equipped safely.

3. A pleasant atmosphere will reign in the steam room, allowing you to relax and unwind.

4.All materials will be successfully combined with each other.

Bathhouse design option

You will receive a quality solution designed for long-term use. When preparing a project, it makes sense to contact a designer who will help bring the most daring decisions to life.

Design of a sauna with a swimming pool

If the dimensions of the room in the house allow, it is worth adding a swimming pool to the sauna. This will give you the opportunity to plunge into coolness after the heat of the steam room, which is good for your health. Both rooms are interconnected in interior terms, usually by flooring.

If you have decided on the area for a home sauna, you need to decide how many people the steam room should accommodate at the same time.

The inside of the sauna is made of natural wood without additional varnish treatment. For a room with a swimming pool, tiles, mosaics or stone are suitable. The palette of both rooms can be made uniform by choosing a suitable shade of wood.

For one or two people you can get by with a sauna cabin, for a family holiday you need a larger area, to receive guests you need to take care of a relaxation room, in addition to the steam room in the sauna.

Accessories and lighting

Bathroom accessories are also important. With their help, you can place bright accents and interestingly diversify the interior. At the same time, the design of the steam room itself is often very laconic. Since this room should be as convenient as possible for practical purposes, it should not be overloaded with details. However, you can choose interesting and useful wooden products: buckets, buckets, ladles, headrests and hangers. You may also need brooms, aromatic oils and a thermometer to monitor the temperature in the room.

The dressing room can be decorated as you wish. Paintings, a small rug, a miniature table, a clock and coat hooks can look organic there. All these small details will make even the simplest bathhouse interior stylish and unique.

The break room usually has windows, so you will need curtains or blinds. Wooden options made from bamboo are very popular. It is also worth choosing kitchen utensils of your choice; these can be ceramic or wooden utensils. The walls can be decorated with paintings, tapestries, animal skins or stuffed animals. Ottomans and cabinets made of genuine leather can also look good.

If you are setting up a shower room, you can purchase a stylish rug, a soap dish, drawers for storing cosmetics and a shower curtain. For a small shower, it is better to use a minimum number of accessories. If you have a spacious room, you can arrange decorative vases with dried flowers, hang catchy towel hooks, and decorate the walls or door with stained glass.

As for lighting, for a bathhouse they usually choose lamps built into the ceiling, which will be as inconspicuous as possible. Also, sometimes additional lamps are hung on the walls. Such lighting options are typical for a waiting room, steam room and shower room. Flashy chandeliers are practically not used; they may only be appropriate in a recreation room decorated in a modern style.

Features of installing a shower in a bathhouse

To equip a bath shower, strong and durable pipes are used - made of copper, metal-plastic and polypropylene. The high cost and complexity of installing copper pipes make metal-plastic and polypropylene analogues more competitive: they are cheap, easy to install and operate, and resistant to corrosion and rot.

The best option for arranging a functional shower system is metal-plastic pipes. Such products are strong, wear-resistant, durable and flexible.

To design a drainage system, a concreting pit is provided, which ensures reliable drainage of wastewater from the bathhouse into a drainage pit or septic tank.

Through a special drain hole in the floor - a ladder - the waste liquid enters the sewer pipe and is discharged outside the building.

Taking into account how often the bathhouse with shower will be used, a drainage system should be installed. If you plan to visit the steam room infrequently, then it is enough to organize a small septic tank or remove the sewer pipe to a remote corner of the land. If you regularly use a steam room, you need to equip a full-fledged septic tank - purchase a ready-made plastic structure or install a homemade version from concrete rings.
