Construction Features

A characteristic feature of baths is difficult conditions of use. For construction, you need a material that can withstand strong changes in t0 and high levels of humidity. This building material should not contribute to the formation of fungi, mold, or release harmful substances.

Of the materials used in construction, wood performs the above functions best. If the harvesting and processing rules are followed, the wood is characterized by:

• resistance to high moisture and temperature changes;
• light weight;
• vapor permeability;
• environmental friendliness;
• creating a special atmosphere;
• low heat conductivity coefficient.

The log is characterized by slight damage to the structure, which contributes to a long service life. The log house of the bathhouse can be used no earlier than six months after construction, which is due to shrinkage, which is about 10%.

Advantages of a 3 by 4 log bath

The main advantage of a bath of this size is its compactness. The small dimensions of the bathhouse allow you to save on construction costs. But despite its small size, it is quite comfortable. Experienced designers are able to accommodate the necessary planning components and offer several options.

The undeniable advantage of such log houses is rapid construction. But the speed of construction does not in any way affect the quality of the structure. The result is a reliable and durable room that does not require repairs or additional maintenance.

Accommodation requirements

There are certain requirements for the placement of a bathhouse. The location of such premises is regulated at the legislative level. Compliance with the requirements primarily ensures the safety of residents. Also, in the case of selling a country house or cottage, the building on the site must be registered. Therefore, if the bathhouse is built, installed incorrectly and not registered, it will have to be dismantled.

There are a number of requirements for the location of the bath:

• no closer than 8 meters to the house (this also applies to the neighbor’s);
• at least 12 meters to a body of water (well, etc.);
• no closer than 3 meters from the neighbor’s property.

Layout

The required components of any bathhouse, including those measuring 3 by 4, are:

• locker room;
• steam room;
• shower room

The best proportion for these rooms is considered to be 2-1-1.5. Thus, the locker room, also known as the dressing room, is twice as large as the steam room itself, and the wash room is 1.5 times larger. In the 3*4 baths, supplemented by an attic floor, there is room for organizing a recreation area. In the warm season, this function can be performed by a terrace or veranda.

To build a comfortable and ergonomic bathhouse, you do not need to calculate the dimensions yourself. The basis of construction is a finished project where everything is thought out to the smallest detail.

Subtleties of building a small bathhouse

When creating a bathhouse, in particular a small one, special attention should be paid to fire safety requirements. The risks of fire for those staying in the bathhouse increase as there is minimal space inside.

Important! When constructing a chimney, pay attention to the presence of a metal box for protection.

The stove itself in the steam room should be built from good baked bricks, using reliable fittings. Furnace laying should be trusted only to experienced craftsmen. The best protection for the stove will be a ceramic or porcelain lining, which will also increase its service life.

An important point is the arrangement of ventilation. An important feature is its location. It should be in the lower part, and not in the upper part, as in residential premises. Everything that is washed off - the remains of dirt and sweat - is better pulled out by the lower hood. In this case, clean air will arrive from above, which is ensured by a supply system in a standard location.
