What types of baths quickly lose heat

The bath at all is associated with heat and steam. But it also happens that from a newly built bathhouse heat disappears instantly. In such cases, the whole meaning of this building disappears. Where does the heat go?

The speed of heating the bath and its tightness depends on the design of the floor, walls, doors, windows and even the stove.

Ceiling

Everyone knows that warm, and even more so hot air tends to the top. In the baths, its movement is very fast, and if the ceiling has poor insulation, then this is the first reason for the rapid loss of heat.

To insulate the ceiling, you must use the following materials:

• Mineral wool - a simple and inexpensive insulation, perfectly insulates heat, but loses its properties when wet;
• An excellent option is foil foam, which reflects the heat rising up. It also accelerates the heating of the bath three times;
• As folk methods use a layer of insulation from crushed clay, the width of which is about 2 cm;

• In rare cases, expanded clay is used, which is covered with a 30 cm layer on the roof. Its main disadvantage is a lot of weight.

Doors and windows

With improperly designed windows, heat from the bath will evaporate very quickly. Several requirements are imposed on their location and arrangement: installation below the average level, double-glazed windows should be as tight as possible, sealants are additionally used when installation.

If gaps and crevices form between the doorway and the door, then heat will constantly leave the bathhouse. Such metamorphoses occur with wooden doors that deform when heated. To solve the problem, it is better to install a metal door with insulation in the dressing room, and a glass door in the steam room.

Floor

Heat can also escape through the floor, and in addition, a draft can "walk" on it. To avoid this, it is necessary to insulate the space between the rough and finish coat. Two methods are used for this: filling the space with polystyrene foam, sawdust or mineral wool, or installing a warm floor, infrared or water.

Bake

The bath may be cold due to improperly built stoves. When designing it, you must very carefully select the materials and technique. Otherwise, you will have to replace the design completely, since it is difficult and ineffective to fix something in the existing one.
