There are several ways of processing logs, which are constructed from the bath. From the quality of the material depends on the quality of construction. By popular options include CYLINDRICAL, profiled and the usual bar.
They all have their advantages and disadvantages that must be considered in the preparation of the estimates and in the process of construction of the bath.
bath design
Construction bath made of round timber requires preliminary design of the building project. Main beam advantage is versatility - it can easily fit into simple and complex projects.
With the increasing complexity of design and the bath final construction cost. When you create a steam room can be limited to the standard square shape - in order to save budget.
The essential issue is the capacity of premises. Depending on the type of plan, baths are divided into three classes:
- comfort: steam bath consists of 4 rooms - dressing rooms, lounges, a shower and a bath itself;
- standard: It has a similar structure with the comfort and complemented by an extension of the veranda;
- mini: building accommodates 3 rooms - dressing rooms and rest + zone in which the combined shower and steam room.
Among modern baths are often found duplex options. On the second floor is convenient to arrange the guest room, which does not increase the construction area. This option is well suited for small areas, where every meter counts.
Cost of materials
With the construction of the bath main costs relate to the purchase of materials. Therefore, before the start of construction it is necessary to decide on a budget and choose the best building material:
- CYLINDRICAL timber: strong and reliable option that perfectly holds the high level of humidity and heat. The main drawback is the high price;
- brick: inexpensive material is not characterized by its practicality. Additional costs will go to preform method, the use of furnaces and equipment purchase;
- shaped beam: is the third of the price after otsilindrovanogo timber and brick. It requires the participation of professionals in the handling;
- timber without treatment: log cabins from simple timber - this is the cheapest option. However, harvesting these cells have to deal with on their own.
Advantages of round timber
Despite the high cost of rounded bars, experts often recommend to get this material. Plus such logs is that they have already passed the pre-treatment. Accordingly, the owner does not have to exert extra effort to produce building materials.
Other strengths of round timber are as follows:
- resistance and excellent thermal insulation properties;
- improving the quality of the steam room at the expense of correct form logs;
- no need for external and internal decoration;
- the absence of gaps and cracks due to precisely cut grooves.
A significant drawback of the treated boards is only one - is to reduce the density of the material. In the automatic processing of the log loses large amounts of dense layers.
