bath - remarkable Russian invention. Hiking in the bath has its own special rite by which reveals all its advantages. Health bath procedures and are able to heal the sick body and the sick soul.
But to the sacrament peaked should properly build a sauna, refine it, to warm.
Why warm bath
Despite the fact that in the bath and so are always high temperatures, it should be competently approach to its insulation to:
- keep the heat which is outside the bath through the small gap in the ceiling, the floor, walls;
- create a real steam room;
- protect the bath from penetrating winds due to which it is possible to catch cold, being inside.
Approach to warming baths should wisely as unfair work, on the contrary, "will" multiply mold and mildew due to excessive moisture in the room.
Every part of the bath is necessary to insulate a particular way.
How to insulate ceilings in the bath
The most common materials:
- Attic. Oddly enough, but the air in the attic of a well prevents excess heat transfer. Nevertheless, this may be sufficient only in relatively warm latitudes. In areas with cold winters have warm and attic.
- Clay. Good budget means insulation of the ceiling. It should be smear s ceiling (spreading it with water to porridge state) by the loft (or roof) on 3-4 cm.
- Mineral wool. Inexpensive, thermostable, fireproof material. Vata is light enough - it can handle each. This wool is sold in rolls or in the form of thin layers, blocks, making it easy to work with. Wool does not deform at temperature differences, but it absorbs moisture and may cause harm to health in the event of fumes. This effect is easily eliminated, if not prevent any contact with the wet wool steam.
- Expanded clay. This bulk material is not worse than the other inhibits heat, it does not attract fungus and mildew, easy to use.
The process of insulation is simple enough:
- First layer - for loft insulation of steam. Can be used aluminum foil.
- Second layer - just heater.
- Third layer - isolation insulation from moisture. You can use a roofing material, putting it slightly overlapping sheets, prokleivaya tape edge.
- The fourth layer is intended to protect the insulation. It is enough to put the top board or plywood.
How to insulate the walls in the bath
Insulate the wall outside the bath is better to not take too much space inside, to protect the walls from freezing.
You can insulate the walls of the bath:
- Having laid in the construction insulation between the logs, if the bath made of logs.
- Using flame-retardant mineral wool.
How to insulate floors in the bath
Materials that can insulate the floor, the following:
- expanded clay aggregate.
- Mineral wool.
- Ecowool - cellulose insulation on 80% consisting of waste paper, and 20% of flame retardant substances. This is a fairly new heating material.
The algorithm is similar to floor insulation, insulated ceiling.
For each stage of construction baths should be given a lot of attention, because then the error correction will be more expensive.
