  • Dec 24, 2019

During the construction of baths usually opt for masonry. It is guaranteed to last for more than one year. The wall of the brick is not affected by pathogenic bacteria. Also, brick does not absorb moisture, and therefore does not swell. Brick sauna characterized by high durability, can withstand significant loads.

From the viewpoint of fire brickwork does not support combustion. When heated it does not emit toxic substances. Brick Bath, even heated, require additional insulation the following reasons:

- the material has high thermal conductivity;
- even bath heated by rapidly loses heat;
- if you do not use the bath in the winter, it takes time for its heating.

As warm brick bath: inside or outside

Question warming heated brick baths it is not necessary. This procedure is necessary unequivocally. However, the problem is something else: how to warm bath, outside or inside? First of all it is necessary to understand how the wall will keep warm, what is their design.

If the bath is located in the suburban area, then exploit it on a case by case basis. Even a heated room, if it is not used for its intended purpose, freeze thoroughly (it is primarily about the walls). It is possible to insulate the walls from the outside, but in this case it will be necessary not only to warm bath, but also walls and to a temperature at least 35 degrees. It is clear that it will take considerable expenditure of energy resources. That's why trying to warm bath brick inside.

4. Vapor barrier.
5. Lath for lining.
6. Wall paneling.

For warming bath was used very different materials, mainly of plant origin. Such material as flax, hemp or moss absorbs moisture, rot, and its life was insignificant. Modern materials for thermal insulation of their shortcomings in terms of decay. Advantageously use mineral or ecowool. Such material when heated does not emit toxic substances and does not absorb moisture.
