Also, a two-story turnkey bathhouse can become a full-fledged recreation complex.
Example in the video: The area occupied by the building may vary, it depends on the budget, but in any case, with proper management of the resulting space, you can get a comfortable, cozy, multifunctional corner for relaxation at the highest level.

If you have a limited budget, a bathhouse project with an attic will help you save money. If it is possible to build a massive building, then you can combine a traditional Russian bathhouse with a sauna, place a swimming pool nearby, and use the terrace as a place for gatherings.

Ladder

An equally important point is the choice of the type of staircase. Some bathhouse owners make a common mistake - they choose aesthetics over ergonomics, which leads to various types of injuries. The staircase should be as practical as possible.

It is worth sacrificing ornate designs in favor of standard structures. They are, however, bulky, but comfortable. Also, some baths are equipped with an external staircase. However, this option is inconvenient, since going up to the second floor when it is freezing outside and your body is “hot” after the sauna is very dangerous.

Why is it more profitable to order a turnkey two-story bathhouse?

A turnkey two-story bath house from the manufacturer based on ready-made projects is a very popular service on the market. Developers offer the construction of baths, the design of which is developed in accordance with all norms and standards, and is fully equipped.

Don't know how to decorate the interior? No problem, seek help from specialists. Although their services are not cheap, the result exceeds all expectations.

Selecting the material and dimensions of the bath

The most popular baths are made of wood rather than those made of stone or blocks. But it can be difficult to decide what to choose – a log or timber. To understand which material is suitable for you, you need to know their characteristics.

It is important that in terms of durability, strength and thermal conductivity, the materials are practically the same. Separately, it is worth noting laminated veneer lumber, which does not shrink; the others are inferior to it in this regard.

Friends, today we are conducting an experiment... as they say, not in words, but in deeds!
Are you asking us what material is best to build a house from? How to avoid mistakes in construction, etc. We address your questions to builders and experts, but this time we acted more radically. In general, the selection of material for a bathhouse depends on the wishes of the owner of the construction site and his assessment of the importance of one or another criterion.

Before starting construction and choosing a project, it is necessary to determine the size of a two-story bathhouse. Dimensions depend on several factors:

1. Is the bathhouse a separate building or an extension to the house?
2. The area of ​​the suburban area and the amount of free space.
3. The number of people who will use the bathhouse.
4. Thickness of walls and partitions, insulation and finishing.
5. Planned premises, their number.

Purpose of the second floor

The second floor is a small luxury. Therefore, they need to be managed wisely. For example, most often the owners of two-story baths equip:

• a luxurious billiard room;
• a luxurious library;
• romantic bedroom;
• fashionable office;
• comfortable SPA salon;
• a welcoming dining room;
• an amazing greenhouse;
• a fun playroom (parents are steaming, children are playing - wonderful);
• ergonomic gym.

In general, anything can happen on the second floor of the steam room! Before construction, think carefully about what your soul desires.

Food for thought about the correct layout of the bathhouse in the video:
A mandatory attribute of the bathhouse is a high threshold in front of the entrance - about 15 cm above the floor level. The ceiling should not be made too high, this will increase the heating time; it should be no more than 2 m. You can calculate the required size of the bathhouse based on the number of family members visiting the bathhouse at the same time. For one person, it is recommended to measure at least 1.3 m2 of dressing area, 1 m2 in the steam room and about 2-2.5 m2 in the washing department.

Year-round and seasonal baths will differ in size. If you plan to use it in winter, you will have to insulate the walls, floor, and build in heating, so the size will be larger.

Popular solutions in the design of two-story baths

There are a number of companies on the market offering ready-made turnkey projects for two-story baths. Despite the general fundamental similarity, there are a number of differences in the materials used and the organization of space. Which of the solutions is more suitable can be found out only by comparing them with each other.

Project of timber or frame bath B6610

It is not a full-fledged two-story building - additional space is provided through the construction of an attic floor. This decision by the designers can hardly be called controversial, since the roof slopes are made minimal and the attic has practically lost no usable area. On the other hand, this design allows you to significantly reduce the final cost of the finished structure.

The linear dimensions of the bathhouse are 6:6 m, and the usable area is 49 m². The first floor includes a steam room, a bathroom, a shower, and a relaxation room. In front of the entrance there is a veranda, followed by a vestibule, and in the attic there is a spacious bedroom. The design of a bathhouse of this type is primarily aimed at saving space on the site and functionality. In addition to its main purpose, it can be used as a guest house to accommodate guests.

The B6610 bathhouse project provides for the possibility of choosing the material from which the box will be built - using frame technology or from timber. Since it is impossible to calculate in advance the cost of a foundation in a specific area, it is not included in the cost, but usually the developer company has specialists on staff who will help with choosing the location of the bathhouse on the site and advise on the material and type of foundation.

Bathhouse No. 28 – 6x6 with veranda, attic and balcony

The popularity of ordering a turnkey bathhouse is due to the legitimate desire of people to save their time and, by giving specialists the opportunity to do their job, get a high-quality building that can be used immediately. To make it easier for customers to choose, developers collect popular solutions in catalogs, which can be viewed even without visiting the office - on the company’s website.

In the catalogs of many developers there are projects with unremarkable names, which, nevertheless, are always popular with clients. One such solution is a bathhouse project with an attic, which requires a plot of land measuring only 6x6 meters for installation. In addition to the steam room and washing room required for a bathhouse, the project provides for a spacious recreation room with an area of ​​18 m², and an additional room on the second floor, which can be equipped to suit any needs: an additional bedroom, a guest house, a billiard room, etc. An additional highlight is the presence of a spacious veranda on the first floor and a wide balcony on the second. The project makes maximum use of the available space and provides comfortable bathing procedures.

Bath house - project B-24

In order for a turnkey 2-story bathhouse to be inexpensive for its owner, in addition to a successful project, you must also select a developer who has his own production base for the production of logs and beams. If you don’t have to overpay intermediaries, then for an affordable price you can order a bathhouse, which will be the size of a small house and will become a full-fledged place for relaxation for its owners.

The turnkey two-story sauna house, project B-24, has all these qualities. At first glance, it is difficult to even suspect that this is just a bathhouse, because the only thing that gives away its purpose is small windows that should retain heat well.

The construction period for a log house for such a project is 1-2 weeks. Upon completion of construction, the bathhouse does not require additional external treatment, because the timber gives it an attractive appearance and provides good thermal insulation. But it must be taken into account that usually the cost announced on the developer’s website includes the log house itself, partitions, windows and doors, floors, roofing and other little things, but for a number of reasons the foundation and furnace will have to be calculated separately. However, usually managers are always ready to provide advice on these issues.

House-bath No. 45 8x10 m with a swimming pool

A two-story bathhouse is not necessarily a compact structure that should occupy a minimum area. If there is free space, the bathhouse turns into a full-fledged recreation center that can be used in summer and winter, and the second floor here is used more to create color and reduce the number of corridors and transitions from room to room.

The highlight of the two-story turnkey bath house No. 45, measuring 8x10, is the presence of a swimming pool, which is equipped right inside the premises and can be used all year round, regardless of the weather outside. The location of the pool is carefully chosen so that it is located under the roof slope, which at the same time makes the ceilings higher and the cost of constructing a log house lower.

Standard equipment most often includes a log house, roofing, partitions, and insulation. The material can be chosen at will; it is possible to build from rounded logs, edged or profiled timber. If the bathhouse is built from logs or ordinary timber, then you need to clarify the warranty. Due to the shrinkage of such buildings, some developers offer a two-stage scheme, when after delivery of the finished log house, the initial guarantee is given for a year, and after finishing is carried out, it is extended to 3 years.

Bathhouse "Gzhelka" - functionality and beauty

Although the general layout of the premises in the Gzhelka bathhouse project is not very different from similar solutions, what immediately catches your eye is the spacious veranda, to which a gazebo is attached. This is an excellent solution if you plan to use the bathhouse for its intended purpose, and the rest of the time the building will be used as a place for family gatherings or a guest house.

The layout of the premises on the plan is approximate - any developer who is selected for the construction of the log house will, at the request of the customer, make the necessary changes to the project. This is usually done as a free bonus with your purchase.

The construction time for a log house is about 2-4 weeks. The basic equipment is the log house itself, floors, partitions and walls, insulation, windows, doors, roof, stairs, porch. If you order turnkey construction, then the cost of the foundation is discussed separately, and the stove and shower equipment are selected.

The standard guarantee for a log house is given for a year.

Features of two-story buildings

Choosing a project is a responsible matter. In order for it to please with impeccability, you need to take into account the following points:

• material;
• optimal bath sizes;
• type of foundation;
• the presence of a competent heating system;
• availability of water supply and sewerage;
• type of wooden staircase;
• specific purpose of the upper floor;
• style.

Material

Today, baths are built from a variety of raw materials, however, fragrant and healing logs are incredibly popular, just like 100 years ago. It is famous for the following advantages:

• long service life - more than 100 years (impressive, right?);
• resistance to wear - is not afraid of the harmful effects of mechanical, thermal, biological, or climatic factors, since it is treated with special compounds;
• aesthetics - the appearance of the finished baths is charming;
• healing properties – has a beneficial effect on the body;
• fragrant – the raw materials smell incomparable;
• environmentally friendly - does not harm health;
• ease of installation;
• unpretentiousness in care.

In addition, wooden structures warm up very quickly and do not cool down for a long time. The steam rooms, built from wood, are warm, cozy and comfortable.

Dimensions

Are you puzzled over the size of the steam room? Do you want to have a 6x6 sauna? Are you dreaming of a 6 x 8 sauna? Dreaming of a 9x9 steam room? Maybe you want to enjoy truly royal mansions? The owner is a gentleman, of course. But experts recommend determining the optimal size based on the number of people who will use the steam room at the same time.

For example, if the building is intended for a family of 3-5 people, then there is no point in building “royal chambers”. It is enough to get a compact steam room. However, the situation changes radically if the family plans to use the bathhouse not from time to time, but constantly. In this case, you should take a closer look at projects that involve a kitchenette, bedroom, living room and other additional rooms required for full-fledged family living.

Foundation

Choosing the type of foundation for a two-story steam room is an extremely important matter. Since the structure is quite heavy, therefore the base must be very powerful and durable. For example, experts recommend using the best option - a monolithic reinforced concrete strip base with a laying depth below freezing of the soil.

Heating system

Can a person live without a heart? Absurd! Same thing. And what can’t a steam room “live” without? That's right - without a stove. The best option here is a brick stove. It warms up the room slowly, but evenly. True, one stove is enough only when the health resort is small. Otherwise, you need to choose another heat source. Gas double-circuit boilers are in great demand. If there is no possibility of connecting to the gas distribution line or there is no gas at all, it is advisable to use a solid fuel boiler. In addition, today there are a number of alternative heat sources that are appropriate in two-story health resorts.

Water supply and drainage system

The supply and removal of used water is the first thing you need to think about. The steam room can be supplied with water from a centralized water supply network, which is a good option. But if this is not possible, it doesn’t matter. Indeed, in this case, you can drill a well, drive a regular column or dig a well.

A septic tank can be used to drain water. Its main advantage is the ability to purify water. What's the big deal? And the fact that this water can be used for irrigation. And, of course, it is necessary to take care of the drainage system in order to protect the bathhouse and other buildings from destruction, and the vegetation from death.

Prices for popular projects

Wood construction is a specialization of many developers, and the construction of a two-story bath house is a popular type of service they provide. Such a structure will become a highlight on the site and a favorite vacation spot for the whole family. To choose the best option, you can then compare the ratio of the appearance of the building and its cost.
