Properly build a bathhouse is no less difficult than building a whole house. There are many common mistakes that you need to consider before you start building. These include:
- Incorrect calculation of the height of the log house - most often errors are made when determining the desired dimensions, this mainly concerns the height of the log house itself. In order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to take into account the degree of shrinkage of the log house. It is also necessary to pay attention to the thickness of the structures for the ceiling and floor.
- Insufficient ventilation of the floor - this leads to the fact that the tree gets wet, then the process of decay begins. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to remove all water from under the floor with the help of special constructions, as well as provide ventilation. To do this, vents are made in the very foundation of the bath. It is forbidden to engage in insulation at the level of a wooden floor covering.
- Insufficient removal of moisture - during the construction of the bath, it is recommended to make a screed that will ensure that the water rolls into the funnel, after which it is drained. Many people forget about this item when they are engaged in construction. Because of this, the wooden floor begins to collapse quickly. In some cases, it is enough that water seeps through the distances between the boards, but this option is only permissible in the presence of well-permeable soil.
- Use of unsuitable materials for insulation. Mostly the ceiling is insulated in the bath, and also the insulation layer is laid out under the wooden lining.
It is recommended to abandon the insulation materials, which are made on the basis of foamed polymers. It is best to use aluminum foil. Other material can easily begin to degrade under the influence of high temperatures.
- The use of hollow partitions - experts recommend making internal partitions in the bath from logs or beams. If the septum is filled with any material, for example, mineral wool, it is possible the development of a fungus or the appearance of mold. This is especially likely with frequent contact with water.
The above recommendations will help to avoid the most common mistakes that are made during the construction of the bath. Compliance with all measures will help to extend the life of the unit as long as possible without any problems.
