Interior solutions for baths. Finishing the inside of the bathhouse - photos and recommendations from professionals

To complete the interior decoration of a bathhouse, you need knowledge of the properties of wood and stone, safety requirements and minimal skills in working with wood. We will talk about the materials and types of finishes recommended for use in the bathhouse, and you will have to acquire the skills of a joiner and carpenter along the way.

Does the bathhouse need finishing?

Regardless of what kind of bath you have - Russian, Finnish sauna or Turkish hammam, a bath means high temperature and high humidity. Without completing the finishing, without insulating the walls, floor and roof, you will be forced to heat the steam room for hours, and with it the surrounding air, literally throwing money away.

Due to the difference in external and internal temperatures, moisture will settle on the walls as condensation, which over time will lead to the formation of fungus, mold and rotting of wooden structures. If the building is made of masonry material (brick or blocks), a steam room without finishing can cause burns if it comes into contact with a hot wall. Only in the case when the bathhouse is cut down from logs or built from timber, can it be left without additional finishing if the thickness of the walls provides the required resistance to heat transfer. If this is not the case, go back to reading the first sentence of the paragraph.

If the bathhouse is made of logs, complete interior finishing may not be carried out

There are many safety requirements for finishing a bath:

The walls and floor of the bathhouse are most often insulated with stone or basalt wool, but this is not the best option: mats and slabs mineral insulation contain a small amount of bitumen binder, which evaporates under high temperature, as well as tiny particles of fibers that cause irritation when deposited on the skin.

A safer and more economical option - foam glass insulation - avoids these disadvantages. Vapor barrier is performed with aluminum foil or foil-coated polyurethane foam, which belongs to the group of non-combustible materials and will serve as an additional heat insulator.

Finishing materials for a bath - how not to make a mistake

Interior decoration different rooms performs different tasks in the bathhouse, and in accordance with them the type of finishing is chosen.

Table: requirements for finishing a bath

Room	Peculiarities	Type of finish
		Floor	Walls	Ceiling
Steam room	High temperature - fire protection of wood is required. Humidity - impregnation with antiseptic and fungicide is required	Ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles with waterproofing, hardwood flooring, drainage	Hardwood cladding, stone or brick cladding at the heater	False ceiling made of hardwood
Washing	Humidity - materials are needed that allow surfaces to be washed periodically	Ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles with non-slip surface, drainage	Tiling or finishing with materials that allow wet cleaning	moisture-resistant painting or suspended ceiling
Restroom	No requirements	Wood or heated floors with tiles	No requirements	No requirements

Steam room finishing

To cover the steam room, it is better to use hardwood, which does not release resin when heated. When choosing a material for wall cladding, you must remember that a bathhouse is not only pleasant, but also useful. By inhaling phytoncides released by heated wood in a steam room, we increase the body’s resistance to colds and improve health Airways.

Type of wood	Advantages	Flaws
Oak	Strong wood, durable, great appearance	Slips when wet, high price
Ash	Durable wood with a beautiful pattern, resistant to rotting	High price
Birch	Light pleasant aroma	Prone to rotting, does not hold its shape well at high temperatures
Linden	It has a pleasant color, when heated, it emits a delicate aroma, is resistant to rot and high temperatures, and is affordable	No
Aspen	Low price, light pleasant aroma	Subject to rotting, over time changes color to dirty gray
Alder	Beautiful appearance, affordable price, odorless, does not absorb odors, durable	No

If you are interested in a budget finishing option, choose alder; if there are no cost restrictions, then the best option is ash.

A bathhouse trimmed with ash clapboard will look prestigious and expensive

For lovers of coniferous scents, a combined finishing option may be offered: where contact with the skin is possible, we make the finishing from deciduous wood, and, for example, we line the space under the shelves with cedar, larch or pine.

To cover a section of the wall near the heater, you must choose a material with high heat capacity and thermal conductivity, ensuring maximum accumulation and uniform heat transfer. The structure of the stone must be uniform so that it does not explode when water gets in. Stones are selected round or oval shape with a smooth surface for free air circulation, optimal size- from 5 to 21 cm. Another requirement is environmental safety: when heated, they should not emit harmful substances.

Table: properties of bath stones

Mineral	Properties
Gabbro - diabase	Gabbro - diabase is the most affordable and popular option. The stone is dark gray, almost black in color, with low water absorption, excellent heat capacity and very durable. Unfortunately, when heated strongly, it emits an unpleasant odor, and upon contact essential oil forms carbon deposits on the surface.
Soapstone chlorite	Soapstone is durable, strong, has excellent heat capacity, and comes in colors from light gray to cherry. In order to prevent dusting, the stones are washed and calcined before the first use. Features a pleasant, light steam with therapeutic effect: reduces blood pressure, improves health respiratory system and skin. Negative characteristic - high price.
Basalt	Basalt is the most durable stone of all volcanic rocks. It has only positive characteristics - it is strong, durable, has a high heat capacity, tolerates temperature changes well, and does not emit harmful substances. Even the price is pleasing with its availability.
Jade	Jadeite belongs to semiprecious stones, so you shouldn’t be surprised at the high price of this mineral. The color ranges from white through emerald green to black making it attractive in appearance and its medicinal properties appreciated back in ancient China. An excellent choice for people who care about their health.
Raspberry quartzite	Crimson quartzite, like jadeite, is attractive in appearance with its bright color and has excellent performance qualities - hardness, durability, heat resistance, low water absorption and environmental safety. It tolerates high temperatures well, you can pour water on it without fear of “explosion”. When purchasing, you should avoid split stones, as they will continue to crumble in the future.
White quartz	White quartz is not very durable and does not tolerate high temperatures well, but due to its spectacular appearance it is one of the most expensive stones: this translucent mineral consists of silicon and oxygen molecules, and when heated, it releases ozone, which makes a steam bath with it especially useful.

The ceiling in the steam room above the heater, just like the wall behind it and the floor around it, requires protection with fireproof material. You can make a section above the heater suspended ceiling from soapstone slab. Soapstone is a universal material for heater stones, cladding walls, floors and ceilings. A more budget-friendly option is a metal sheet over the stove, a foundation and wall cladding made of solid, well-fired brick.

Soapstone can be used not only as a material for stones, but also as a decoration for walls and ceilings behind the heater

The floor in the steam room is made of concrete or ceramic tiles, with waterproofing and a drain for draining water. Walking flooring made of hardwood is laid on top.

Finishing materials for washing

A sink with open shower screens requires the installation of channels, drains and moisture-resistant finishing: facing with ceramic tiles or other durable and moisture-resistant material that can withstand elevated temperatures.

If you plan to install individual shower cabins, such finishing is not required; you can line the walls with clapboard, paint them or plaster them with moisture-resistant decorative plaster.

To prevent water from affecting the sink frame, it is finished with tiles.

It is advisable to have heated floors. The tile must have a rough surface that prevents slipping. It is undesirable to make oak flooring in wet rooms, as it is very slippery when wet. A coating made of coniferous wood, especially larch, is welcome, as it is the most resistant to rotting.

The area of ​​the floor near the font, where significant spills of water are possible, is best made of ceramic tiles with a drain.

The ceiling of the washing room will have to be washed periodically; accordingly, the material must withstand processing detergents: larch lining, metal slatted or cassette suspended ceilings.

Restroom

The rest room has no restrictions on decoration, with the exception of heated floors - it’s always pleasant to walk on bare feet warm wood. The rest of the interior design depends on the taste and requirements of the bathhouse owner.

Do-it-yourself bathhouse finishing

In order to make the bathhouse beautiful, you need to choose reliable and high-quality finishing materials and install them in accordance with the specifics of the premises described in the previous sections.

Selection of finishing materials

The optimal choice for each bathhouse owner will be one that takes into account the size of the building, personal taste and financial component. In order not to make a mistake when purchasing material, you must first:

Calculation of premises area

To determine the need for materials, it is necessary to know the area of ​​the surface to be finished. All calculations are done in meters.

For the floor and ceiling, multiply the length of the room by its width. To get the area of ​​the walls, calculate the perimeter of the room: add the length and width and multiply by two. We multiply the product by the height of the ceilings. From the result obtained, subtract the area of ​​doors and windows, if any.

In rooms with difficult combined finishing The area of ​​each plot is calculated separately.

How to buy quality materials and prepare them for installation

When choosing a material, you need to pay attention first of all to the quality of the product.

Calculation of material requirements

1. Find the area of ​​one board. Yes, when standard length 6 m and a thickness of 90 mm, the area of ​​the board will be equal to 6∙0.09=0.54 m2.
2. Calculate the surface area to be finished. Let's assume that it is necessary to upholster the walls of a room measuring 3 x 6 m with a ceiling height of 2.5 m. The surface area is equal to: (3+6)∙2∙2.5=45 m2.
3. Calculate the number of boards. To do this, divide the surface area by the area of ​​one board: 45/0.54 = 83.3 boards.

As an example, here is a specification of material for finishing a steam room:

In the same way, the wood requirements for the remaining rooms are calculated.

For calculation paint and varnish materials the surface area should be multiplied by the paint consumption, which is usually given on the packaging in liters per square meter. The product will show how many liters of paint you need to buy.

All goods must be purchased with a margin of 10%, taking into account the allowance for waste and defects in work.

Required Tools

To finish a bathhouse with your own hands you will need:

1. Hammer.
2. Screwdriver.
3. Building level.
4. Hammer.
5. Furniture stapler.
6. Plane.
7. Hacksaw or jigsaw.
8. Self-tapping screws, nails or clamps.

Step-by-step instructions for finishing a bath

The work is carried out after laying the electrical wiring and ventilation ducts, starting from the floor. The floor of the steam room is raised 10–15 cm above the level of adjacent rooms. After the clean floor has been laid, they begin finishing the walls. The last thing to do is the ceiling.

1. Making a frame for insulation. The frame is assembled from 100x40 mm timber, impregnated with fire retardant and fungicide. The timber is attached with self-tapping screws or dowels to the wall at intervals equal to the width of the insulation board minus 5 mm.

   A frame made of wooden beams is mounted on the walls and ceiling

2. Installation of insulation. Between the frame beams, insulation slabs or mats are placed on heat-resistant glue with additional fastening with 5-6 dowels. per 1 m 2.
3. Installation of heat-reflecting material. Aluminum foil or foil fire-resistant film, for example, foil penofol, is secured with staples using construction stapler to the thermal insulation layer.

   A counter-lattice is installed over the heat-reflecting layer under the finishing coating.

Wall cladding. The lining is attached to the frame in accordance with the selected layout. The nails are driven into the grooves so that they are not visible on the finish. They nail the baseboard.

To decorate the premises in the bathhouse, you can choose different varieties wood with different shades of color

Installation of false ceiling frame. The frame of the false ceiling is attached to the floor joists or to the walls made of 100x50 timber with a vertical orientation. The distance between the beams should correspond to the width of the insulation slab minus 5 mm for the expansion.

Construction of the ceiling begins after covering the walls.

Installation of heat-reflecting material. Foil or foil material is attached in the same way as on the walls.

Ceiling lining with clapboard. It is carried out similarly to wall upholstery. The section of the ceiling above the stove-heater is protected by non-combustible material: a stainless steel sheet or slab material. The ceiling plinth is attached.

A foil vapor barrier is attached to the insulation, and then the clapboard is nailed onto the finished sheathing

Having become acquainted with the requirements for bathhouse premises and having studied information about the correct execution of finishing, you have received the necessary theoretical knowledge. The work does not require any special professional skills and can be done by any homeowner.

Have you tried and built a beautiful steam room hut? Now we need to finish the inside of the bathhouse, which requires no less attention than exterior work. High humidity and elevated temperatures put special demands on materials, because not all of them can withstand difficult conditions operation. The choice of cladding determines how long the structure will last and how comfortable the procedures will be. Different rooms in the bathhouse require their own approach to finishing, but the most difficult is finishing the steam room in the bathhouse.

What material is suitable for a steam room?

For interior works There are a lot of finishing materials. To make it easier for you to choose what kind of finishing the steam room in the bathhouse will have, photos and paintings ready-made solutions Every designer has one. It is worth remembering that even if you made your own choice, it is better to coordinate it with a specialist, because not all materials are suitable for installation inside the hottest room.

Taking into account the specific operating conditions, the following requirements are imposed on the finishing:

moisture resistance;

heat resistance;

durability;

hygiene;

environmental friendliness.

Important! For the interior decoration of the bathhouse, you should choose natural materials.

When the temperature rises, plastic becomes deformed and begins to emit an unpleasant odor, and ordinary tiles crack after heating. Therefore, the use of such finishing is unacceptable in the steam room.

The best option is wood. The finishing structure depends on financial capabilities. For example, lining is cheaper than timber; it is chosen if it is necessary to meet a certain budget. Basically, bathhouse owners prefer deciduous wood. Below is an example of what the interior decoration of a bathhouse might look like, a photo of the classic version.

High-quality wood for interior decoration of a bathhouse Source stroy-block.com.ua

There is an opinion that you should not sheathe the inside with steamed coniferous wood, since it releases resin when the temperature rises. But this statement is controversial, because resin has a beneficial effect on health, cleanses the respiratory tract, and strengthens the heart.

To sheathe the interior or not coniferous wood, it’s up to you to decide - maybe someone in your household doesn’t like the smell of pine needles or vice versa...

If lining was chosen for cladding the bathhouse, then it should be High Quality. Particular attention must be paid to the external processing of the material - there should be no chips, knots, or cracks on its surface. The lining should not deform: swell when heated or dry out at normal temperatures.

If wood as a material for interior decoration of a steam room is not suitable for you for some reason, you can give preference to heat-resistant tiles; they have proven themselves well in significant differences temperature.

Ceiling protection

Before finishing, you should protect the ceiling from hot steam. To do this, use aluminum foil or a construction membrane.

Important! Do not use foil with mineral wool or polypropylene foam glued on it. When heated, these materials release toxic substances.

Using lining - rational or not

Definitely yes! Lining made from linden, aspen, cedar, and abashi has become popular due to its properties. It tolerates temperature changes well, high humidity, is aesthetically pleasing, and does not absorb moisture. Cladding made of clapboard has low thermal conductivity - it does not heat up, but transfers heat to the air.

Bath lining is not covered with varnish, antiseptic, or paint; it is used in its natural form.

On our website you can find contacts construction companies who offer the service of building a bathhouse. You can communicate directly with representatives by visiting the “Low-Rise Country” exhibition of houses.

Preparing the walls for finishing

When starting to finish the walls, they solve the issue of insulation and waterproofing. Without such measures, the bathhouse will not last long, and healing procedures will be reduced to simple hygienic ones. For insulation, the walls are covered with mineral or basalt wool. The second one is more resistant to high temperatures, so it lasts longer.

Experts consider cork to be the best thermal insulator for bathhouse walls. This agglomerate does not burn, does not rot, and is resistant to fungi and mold.

Lathing - to do or not to do

Craftsmen prefer to install the sheathing and attach the interior trim to it. The popular base size is 50x50, less often they make 70x70. The pitch is not standard and varies depending on the size of the blocks being strengthened.

The sheathing is made of wood, less often of metal. Considering the operating conditions, the metal must be treated with moisture-resistant compounds. The lining or logs are secured with self-tapping screws and nails. They must be copper or brass. The installation of the base is done perpendicular to the sheathing.

Stages of clapboard finishing

Along the perimeter of the wall and ceiling fix the beam. Fastenings should be every 80–100 cm.

Cut pieces of insulation wool placed between the tree without compacting.

Above covered with a waterproofing agent. The joints are sealed with aluminum tape, paying special attention to the corners.

Equip ventilation. To do this, fill the distance rail. It will provide a small gap (2–3 cm) through which air will be vented.

Do separate upholstery doors and windows.

Fastening the lining. You need to start from the corner, fixing each part vertically. This position will ensure free flow of water. If a horizontal arrangement of blocks is planned, make sure that the spikes are at the top. This will protect the lock from moisture.

Lining located in corners or near walls, cut to required size. It is especially important to cut the corner block correctly. It is necessary to accurately calculate the angle of inclination so that the adjacent block is correctly fixed.

Making the floor in the steam room

Not only comfort, but also safety depends on the choice of raw materials for the floor. Moisture on smooth tiles or linoleum leads to falls and injuries. Installation of such materials will turn the floor into a skating rink. In addition, when heated, linoleum emits an unpleasant odor containing substances harmful to health.

The optimal choice of floor for a steam room is wood. It does not require a special coating, and with this design the room will be designed in the same style. It is worth noting that wooden floor the bathhouse is not made of oak. This wood becomes stronger when wet, but at the same time its surface begins to slip.

Concrete works well. A floor made of such material will be strong and durable. Tiles are laid on top of it, but the structure of the surface of such a coating is important. It should not be glossy; a pronounced relief is necessary. The floor is laid at a slight slope towards the water drainage.

Laying tiles on the floor in a bathhouse Source: seattlehelpers.org

The tiles are laid from the corner, placing crosses between the blocks, tapping with a mounting hammer. After 2-3 days, the seams between the tiles are rubbed down. Wooden grates are placed on top to prevent you from stepping on the cold floor and provide additional safety in case of possible slipping.

And now the shelves

Very important point- shelves in the bathhouse. Since constant tactile contact is assumed with them, increased requirements are put forward for these elements:

they should not get very hot;

it's better if cool down slowly;

must be environmentally friendly;

don't slip and not be very rough;

don't have external damage;

easy to wash.

Again, wood is most suitable for this purpose. Carefully cleaned, without knots or nicks, it has served people in bathhouses and steam rooms for centuries. Shelves should not have sharp corners that could cause injury. They are not made solid, leaving a small distance between the wooden boards.

Setting up a dressing room

The main function of the dressing room is to preserve heat. The temperature in the room is not high, so it is good to use coniferous trees to decorate walls in a traditional style.

The interior decoration of the bathhouse made of logs creates an atmosphere of antiquity and ancient fairy tales. A light aroma created by pine, fir, and spruce is appropriate here. The wood of these species resists fungus and mold well. It does not crack after drying and is durable. When heated, fir releases almost no resin.

If hardwood is preferred, experts advise finishing the room with birch. The lining can be laid out not only in even rows, but also in a pattern. It is important that the walls in the room are covered with the same type of wood.

Bathroom and washroom

These rooms do not have very high temperatures, although the humidity is as high as in a steam room. The choice of finishes in the bathroom and washroom is more extensive. Lovers bath procedures It is recommended to use natural raw materials for such rooms - wood or stone. Among wood, pine is the leader - it is an affordable material, however, it darkens with prolonged use.

An example of a washroom design Source profstroiplotnik.ru

Plastic is acceptable as there is no high temperature and wet air he tolerates it well. You can use regular tiles for the shower.

What is better to use to decorate a rest room?

The rest room should be beautiful and cozy, so the design of the room comes first. It is not necessary to install heat- and moisture-resistant materials here. The relaxation room should be:

easy to care for;

hygienic;

environmentally friendlym;

comfortable;

aesthetic.

The decoration of the relaxation room in the bathhouse, in addition to traditional wood, can be done:

glass wallpaper;

porcelain stoneware;

natural stone ;

decorative plaster.

Important! The tree is not installed immediately after delivery to the construction site. It is brought into the room and allowed to stand for a couple of days so that it “gets comfortable” in the bathhouse. After this procedure, the wood is not subject to deformation when heated and high humidity.

Conclusion

Decorating the inside of a bathhouse requires effort and imagination. But, if you do everything correctly and entrust this work to professionals, the bathhouse will last a long time to restore strength and health. All you have to do is choose what kind of decoration the bathhouse will have inside: photos of steam rooms will help you find the best option for style and materials.

The bathhouse is the main component of Russian culture. Bath procedures served hygienic purposes. Various diseases were treated in the steam room. To this day, hot steam helps to cope with various ailments, balances the nervous system, and restores strength. Long frosty winters taught our ancestors to keep warm indoors: high thresholds, small windows, low doors.

Bathhouses were built outside the yard, preferably on the shore of a reservoir, so that a steamed person could plunge into the water, because there was no running water in those days. Washed according to certain days, sometimes the whole street used one bathhouse. Today, knowing the benefits of this procedure, many build personal baths on personal plot or setting up a sauna in a city apartment. Your own bathhouse has become a symbol healthy image life, this type of construction has become almost mandatory on the site.

Peculiarities

A traditional village bathhouse consists of three rooms:

• dressing room;
• washing room;
• steam room

They are usually arranged in the same order. First, the visitor enters the dressing room - dry warm room for changing clothes and relaxing between bath procedures. Then he enters the washing compartment, from where, after rinsing and getting used to the elevated temperature, he moves to the steam room.

The steam room is the main compartment of the bathhouse, for which it is being built. The temperature here reaches 60-70 degrees, with high humidity up to 90 percent, this heat penetrates into the deep layers of muscles, relaxes and warms up all organs. Using a broom made of birch, oak, or juniper acts as a massage. After the steam room, you need a procedure of rinsing or dousing with cold water, then rest. The design features of the bathhouse provide for the comfortable implementation of all the listed procedures.

Modern baths do not extend beyond the boundaries of a private plot, small comfortable log cabins or two-story brick structures erected in the yard for frequent and convenient use. The set of premises includes an open terrace or second floor balcony. Here you can lie on fresh air or drink a cup of tea after the steam room. The wash room is equipped with a regular or massage shower. For those who like to soak in the bathroom, the necessary equipment is installed.

The dressing room receives additional area, furnished with a sofa, armchairs, table with a samovar. This room is often used for temporary accommodation of guests, so the design of the rest room is given great importance: it is equipped with devices for a comfortable pastime - a TV, a refrigerator. The owners create many decorative and household items for their own bathhouse with their own hands. Inside or outside, the walls are lovingly decorated with hunting trophies or carved decorations.

In addition to the traditional Russian steam room with wet steam, a sauna with dry hot air is popular among many northern peoples. Manufacturers produce a whole line of equipment for country or apartment saunas. Saunas can have a large area, or can fit into the size of a shower stall. Heating units of various modifications effectively create the required temperature and air humidity in rooms of any size.

The bathhouse complex can be arranged in the attic. To do this, take measures to insulate the roof and install a comfortable staircase with railings. This detail is necessary, since the effect of hot temperatures on a person causes a loss of attention and concentration; the steps should be as comfortable and non-slip as possible. If the bathhouse has sloped ceilings, then shelves for storing bath accessories and woodpiles are installed in the low parts so that unused blind areas do not form in the low parts of the room. To avoid bruises, the active zone for steaming and washing is located in the highest part; its height should not be less than 2.3 meters.

Sauna stoves come in various modifications. Solid fuel units have proven themselves well: firewood, pellets, coal. The latest ergonomic long-burning models with a water circuit allow you to heat adjacent rooms and another floor. Temperature maintained throughout the entire combustion period. If the bathhouse is connected to the main gas pipeline, cheap gas is used to operate the stove. Electric analogues are less convenient due to the high cost of electricity. When choosing the volume of the firebox, you need to calculate the volume of the steam room and adjacent rooms and select a stove of the required power.

Compliance with fire safety regulations is important. Continuous use of the firebox for many hours can cause ignition of surrounding structures. All heated parts of the stove and chimney must be reliably insulated from wooden parts. The chimney at the junction with the ceiling and roof is made of “sandwich” pipes and is additionally protected with a layer of expanded clay. Chimney height according to requirements safe operation is taken no lower than 50 centimeters above the level of the roof ridge.

The walls around the stove are finished with plasterboard, porcelain tiles, mineralite, stainless steel with a layer of mineral wool or brick and natural stone. Superizol can withstand heating up to 1000 degrees, is lightweight and non-flammable - a new insulating material for high-temperature furnace units. The height of the insulating layer should be 15-20 centimeters higher than the level of the stove and the same amount wider. When finishing internal walls and structures, steam rooms use non-flammable and environmentally friendly clean materials, which do not highlight harmful substances when heated. They try to keep the design in the same style.

Finishing materials

Microclimate with high temperature and high humidity dictates the use of natural natural materials. A bathhouse built from solid linden, aspen, and cedar logs does not require additional wall cladding. When heated, these materials lighten the air by releasing healing oils. This material has plasticity when changing temperature and humidity conditions, and is durable. Beautiful weaves of wood fibers create a pleasant video sequence.

The steam room, lined with brick or artificial stone blocks, is lined with clapboard from the inside from the same wood species. It is undesirable to use pine; due to the high temperature in the room, it can release resin, which creates unaesthetic streaks on the surface. Pine is not resistant to moisture and is greatly deformed by dampness. Although this is an accessible and inexpensive material with good decorative qualities, it can be used to decorate a recreation room and entrance area.

The lining has various cutting profiles, rectangular or cylindrical, which imitates a log house. For cladding, you can use a sanded edged board. It is better to take a thickness of 2-4 centimeters. This will allow the wood to resist deformation longer and retain heat well. The cladding made from unedged boards looks original. This gives a rustic touch to the interior.

The interior looks beautiful, completely decorated both on the walls and on the ceiling with the same material of the same type of wood. It's better to choose bright hues wood A small steam room will look more spacious. Processed wood paneling oil or wax in natural tones. Varnish or paint is not used in the steam room.

In a brick or block building, the wall is sheathed with lath and insulated with a vapor barrier material. Then another slatted frame is made, onto which the front trim is applied. The ceiling is finished in the same way. The floor in the steam room is also covered with wood edged board. A layer of waterproofing is laid between the cement screed and the finished floor.

For the stove body, the best choice would be refractory brick; it gives a beautiful, slender pattern and has good performance qualities. Gives the interior warmth and comfort. Heated brick retains heat for a long time and contributes to long-term maintenance optimal temperature in room. Cast iron or steel models are convenient to use and easy to install. Boxes are specially designed for natural stone: basalt, jadeite, quartzite. These stones heat up quickly, do not crack due to high temperatures, and do not contain harmful emissions.

The washing compartment is traditionally tiled. For the floor, use porcelain stoneware or tongue and groove boards. The main requirement is a non-slip surface. The ceiling is covered with the same clapboard as in the steam room. In some cases, plastic ceiling panels to match the color of the tiles or lining.

Doors in bathhouses are made of solid construction, with good thermal insulation properties. Has such qualities natural wood. Door leaf decorated with carved panels or glass inserts to visually expand the space. Modern door designs can be made entirely of special glass. These models are equipped with insulating gaskets.

Decoration inside

A huge selection of finishing material options and modern bath equipment allows you to create stylish modern interiors. Sauna in the apartment multi-storey building becomes a valuable component of comfort. Manufacturers offer full set Full construction different sizes and steam room modifications. Externally, these steam rooms look like an ordinary room, but the interior decoration with a block house or clapboard immerses you in the atmosphere of a real steam room.

The size of the home sauna varies from traditional sizes to miniature ones, the size of a shower stall. But all the details of the traditional steam room are made on high level. The shelves have standard sizes, convenient configuration to accommodate two or more people. The shelf of the upper tier is made wider and installed at a height of no higher than 1.5 meters from the ceiling. The door design involves a glass component. Glass does not enclose a small space, but serves as a unifying element for loft-style interiors.

The sauna is installed in the bathroom, or a special room is allocated for it. In studio apartments, saunas included in the interior of the room have become fashionable. Full glass partitions create the illusion of a single space. Colored LED lights Gives a feeling of peace and relaxation. A functional shower completes the full cycle bath procedure. Smooth surfaces, lack of details, monochrome composition of minimalism provides an opportunity to relax in the fast pace of modern life.

Older generations remember the times when baths were built on the banks of a reservoir. Today it is not always appropriate to dive into a pond after a steam room, or not everyone is lucky enough to have one on their property. Owners of their own baths can equip them with swimming pools. The pool can be located on outdoors next to the entrance to the bathhouse. Another option involves building a swimming pool in the wash room.

The pool occupies central part shower room. Beautifully designed sides and floors around the pool will create an additional decorative effect. Unusual shape will also become a design element. It is better to lay the bottom and walls with blue or colored tiles so that the color of the water has a pleasant color. The small steam room is separated by a glass partition for aesthetic purposes.

Interior of a Russian bathhouse

The classic Russian bathhouse is an unsurpassed and favorite option for decorating a bathhouse in the village. Living fire, the crackling of burning logs, heat and wet steam are the best cleansing procedure for residents of the cold regions of our country. The steam room is often combined with a wash room into one room. In summer, swimming in an ice hole is replaced by a wooden bucket of cold water, which is suspended from the ceiling. Interior decorated with fairy-tale characters from Russian epics.

Finishing unedged board – the best choice for such a bath. Comic statements on the topic of bath procedures are carved into panels that decorate the walls. Carved wooden furniture and small windows with platbands in a log house are decorated with flowered curtains. Rural charm does not prevent you from equipping such a bathhouse with modern stove equipment.

A stone stove is an indispensable attribute of a Russian bath. It can be faced with tiles, which will add noble antiquity. You can make such a bathhouse yourself. The main condition: good insulation to retain heat. The height of the room is visually reduced by lowering the window openings. The logs and decoration are made deliberately rough to preserve the Russian style.

Creating a literate and cozy interior baths - no less important step than its construction. There is an opinion that design is a secondary phenomenon that does not require special skills and abilities, but in reality, arranging the internal functionality of a bathhouse is a complex and time-consuming process. In order for all parts of the room to fulfill their purpose and fully satisfy the requirements of the owners and guests, it is necessary to think through many nuances, including equipment, furniture, numerous auxiliary elements, as well as their location relative to each other.

A bathhouse is not a place in which you should implement your own finishing touches. creative potential. The main value of the building is that it represents the quintessence of Russian traditions and classical ideas about recreation. This leaves an imprint on the design of the bathhouse.

An extremely important point for any room is lighting. The best option for a bathhouse is lamps that produce soft yellow light. Bright lamps are not suitable for the reason that harsh light causes tension and does not promote relaxation. Today, anti-fog lamps in pastel colors are used for furnishing premises.

Basic requirements for lamps: moisture resistance, heat resistance, compliance with the microclimate. When using incandescent lamps, the maximum power rating should not exceed 75 watts.

As for the location of the lamps, there are no strict requirements: they can be installed both on the walls and on the ceiling. However, the latter option seems more dangerous, since hot air accumulates at the top.

Materials for the interior design of a bathhouse

To create a proper and comfortable bathhouse interior, different types of wood are most often used. The popularity of this material is due to many factors., such as:

• environmental friendliness and safety;
• low thermal conductivity;
• ability to distribute heat evenly;
• constant air exchange, eliminating the need for additional ventilation;
• release of substances beneficial to human health;
• plastic;
• ease of processing;
• aesthetic qualities.

The wood used to construct a bathhouse can be of different types. Pine is most often used. Significant disadvantage this option is the release of resin, which occurs when the material is heated. Based on considerations of aesthetics and safety, it is better to use pine for a recreation room, where temperature does not have a significant effect on the wood.

Among the advantages of pine are the pleasant smell and relatively low cost of the material. In addition, the use of linden and larch is common. This is a popular material for wall cladding in a bathhouse, since it has a long service life without loss of functional properties, however, the cost of these types of wood is slightly higher than the cost of pine.

The steam room is considered main room in the bath. In addition, this is where the most of time, so the interior of the room should be thoughtful and comfortable. As for finishing the room, lining is most often used for this. A little further in the article the technology of finishing a bathhouse with this material will be discussed.

Bake

The steam room, despite its importance, is a fairly simple room with few elements. The main attraction of the room is the stove. Currently, many options are offered, but it is better to stay with the classic one, made of special refractory bricks.

Typically, a standard stove of the usual rectangular shape is chosen for a bath, and in some cases decorative decorations in the form of inserts made of glass or natural stone are possible. The oven is placed in far corner rooms, however, the remaining elements are located taking into account the fact that access to the heater must be open.

Shelves

The steam room requires the presence of shelves. Most functional solution will be the placement of multi-stage corner shelves, since they can significantly save space in the room. In no case should there be sharp corners in the room, as this, firstly, is unsafe, and secondly, visually greatly reduces the size of the steam room.

When planing the boards yourself, you should give the ends a rounded shape. When securing structures, it is important to make sure that they do not wobble or creak. In addition, the top shelf is usually made the largest, and the shelves of the lower tier are smaller.

It is traditional to use brooms in steam rooms. To ensure that movement is not hampered in any way, it is necessary to consider an acceptable height from the top shelf to the ceiling. Most often it is about one and a half meters. As for the distance between shelves, the standard indicator is a meter.

Doors

Another point that requires discussion is doors. For these purposes, solid structures made of wood are most often used, but manufacturers offer more stylish and modern version – glass doors. They make the room more pleasant from the point of view of being in it, and also safer, because in the event of an unforeseen situation, it is possible to break the structure. It is best if the door opens outward. This will save space.

A standard bathhouse consists of several required rooms: a dressing room, a steam room, a relaxation room, and a shower room. Optional options are available in the form of rooms with billiards, smoking rooms, etc.

To ensure that the rest room does not get out of place general style baths, you must follow the basic rules for finishing the room. For this purpose, the walls, as in the steam room, are lined with clapboard. It is recommended to pave the floor with tiles. This advice is for several reasons:

• the desire to diversify the internal appearance of the bathhouse;
• ease of maintenance of tiles;
• features of the material's operation - the tiles do not swell and do not lose functional properties due to temperature changes.

The rest room must have big table with a set of comfortable benches or armchairs.

Important: all furniture in the bathhouse must be wooden. High humidity has a destructive effect on any rag furniture.

A mandatory component of the rest room is a storage shelf aromatic oils, as well as tea, sugar and other ingredients that are used for pleasant leisure. The windows in the rest room are hidden using cotton or bamboo curtains, which are environmentally friendly and safe.

The rest room most often contains musical equipment (tape recorder or stereo system with speakers), as well as other equipment - TV, computer. These elements are not mandatory for a classic Russian bath, but they allow you to diversify your pastime.

Some bathhouse owners decorate the relaxation room with a fireplace, which serves more of a decorative function than serves its intended purpose. The placement of all the above parts of the room must be carefully thought out so that the furniture does not restrict movement and is as functional as possible.

Cladding walls with clapboard

Covering the surface of the bathhouse walls with wooden clapboard includes several stages.

The first one is preliminary:

• leveling walls using plaster or putty;
• surface treatment by special means against fungi;
• laying communications.

The next stage is directly related to the installation of the lining. This will require following materials: lining, fasteners, heat-insulating materials, metal hangers.

Step 1. Before covering, the lining should be left in a bathhouse for two days so that the material “gets used” to the microclimate of the building.

Step 2. After this, you need to install the sheathing. We take the prepared block and cut it into pieces 50 and 100 cm long.

Step 3. You should mark the areas on the wall where the hangers will subsequently be located. They are fixed in a row at a distance of thirty centimeters from each other. The distance between all rows is at least 40 centimeters.

Step 4.

Step 5. Next, you should install the wooden bars for the sheathing, which were prepared earlier, on the installed hangers. It is customary to start the first row of sheathing with a longer bar, and the second with a shorter one. After laying each row, you need to check the placement with a level.

Step 6.

Step 7. You should cut the lining into strips of the required length (based on calculations), and then cut off the tenon from it.

Step 8. You need to attach the plank with a strictly cut into the corner and secure it to the sheathing with a clamp, which is driven into the groove of the lining.

Step 9. You need to take another bar, insert it with a tenon into the groove of the previously installed product and carefully drive it in so that the element falls into place. Clamps are installed at all places of the sheathing. Further plating is carried out by analogy.

Step 10. The final action should be to apply a special layer to the lining, which performs protective functions. Most often, wax and oil compositions are used as the main products.

After the bathhouse is finished with clapboard, you can begin to develop a unique design using the recommendations given above. Competent and high-quality work will inspire original ideas and ways of their implementation.
