Construction of frame-baths are much simpler and easier than brick or lumber.It does not require a significant foundation of expensive materials and even drawings.To cope with this work can anyone, even a novice master.You only need to know the sequence of work.In addition to the speed of construction, from framing the bath has another important advantage - no shrinkage due to extraordinary lightness.This quality can not boast of chopped steam.Have such structures and cons.The main of them - high humidity during rainfall, which contributes to the penetration of water and its accumulation inside the frame.This is the main problem that must be addressed at an early stage of construction.

What foundation is suitable for framing baths

For the construction of the frame structure does not require any foundation.Simply install the lower part of the frame on a flat platform equipped with a waterproofing layer.However, distending and clay soils it is better to make a foundation.It may be a shallow base tape.For the construction of such a foundation need to perform a few steps:

• Select a suitable place on which you are planning.
• Planners dig a trench depth of 50 and 40 cm wide.
• At ground level a trench filled with sand and well tamped, occasionally wetting water to heavy shrinkage.
• Then formwork is constructed, having 30 cm in width and height of 50 cm.
• With metal pipes and rods made reinforcement formwork base.
• Concrete is poured at a time or in layers, taking care not to let the previous layer is completely dry up.
• upper plane of the basement should be closed roofing material, which will serve as a waterproofing layer for frame walls.

In what order are erected walls

Even before the start of construction works must be very careful to check how well prepared the wood dried.Wood specie can be anything: linden, larch, aspen, pine.They have a low thermal conductivity and well retain their shape over time.For these purposes, it is not necessary to use birch as it rots very quickly.Softwood best used for exterior trim, and it is necessary to sheathe the walls inside the premises only deciduous species, so as conifers are capable of releasing the resin when heated.Boards that are sewn on the outside, it is necessary to cover the special antiseptic.Interior walls are best sanded and covered in two layers of lacquer furniture.The washing and steam room it is advisable to use a special impregnation for damp rooms.

Bottom rail made of sturdy reliable timber, which has a cross-section of at least 100 x 100 mm.To prevent displacement of the waist, and it is mounted on the corner posts special metal pins which 2cm imbedded in concrete.A similar timber used for the construction of the upper trim.For angles in rigidity is established not less than 8 braces.

From the same intermediate timber made racks that set the walls.After that we can start to lay the floor joists for.They can be made from a paired board thickness of 5 and 15 cm wide. They are placed directly on the waterproofing of the foundation edge.

Outside frame baths can obbivat decorative Lining.This surface looks very solid.It is absolutely not ashamed to show friends and acquaintances when they are invited to take a steam bath or enjoy a barbecue outdoors.Lining is fastened to the outer wall, be sure horizontally.Waterproofing placed under it from any web material, which is attached overlap to avoid the appearance of unnecessary water in the bath.

floor construction

Sex in the bath should meet special requirements.Firstly, it should not slip.Secondly, it must be kept warm.Third, through it should not penetrate the soil moisture.For this reason, make floors in several layers.On lags nail bars, which have a cross section of 50 x 50 cm. For him to secure the board subfloor, which cover the roofing material.Then put a heater, as which can act as mineral wool slabs having a thickness of 10 cm. Top plate close glassine and lay the finishing floor.

Floor washing do differently.It should always be warm during the cold season, as well as very quick to dry.For this purpose, the foundation is made around the perimeter.Topsoil removed by 50 cm, and in the resulting pit is filled with sand and gravel layer 10 cm. This will help drain away the water deep into the ground, without forming stagnation.Logs for this floor are made of pipes with a diameter of 10 centimeters.They must be made of asbestos and stacked directly on the foundation.Thereafter, concrete is poured for their retention of displacement.According to logs stacked floor edged board thickness of 45 centimeters.Between the planks should be a gap 6 -7 mm.Boards are placed on rubber pads.After laying of the floor, he pressed baseboards.

During the construction of the walls is necessary to provide them in the hood, which can be made from asbestos cement pipes with a diameter of 12 cm. It will allow to avoid the smell of mold in the steam room.The tube can be displayed only in the attic.This will give an opportunity to provide good circulation of warm air throughout the room steam room, warming the floor.

rafters of the roof design

beams for ceilings and truss framing system baths are best constructed of boards, which have a cross-section of 15 x 5 centimeters.They put on an edge and firmly bonded to each other.Rafters vertically adjusted and fixed by means of gussets.At the top of the ridge they connect timbers similar section.Behind the wall outside the beams are lowered by 40 cm. It is best to collect the truss system on earth, as it is more convenient.Then it lifted up and put in place.Crate made of edged board 25 millimeters thick.Its styling is carried out from the ridge with or without gaps.It depends on the type of roofing.

How to insulate and create a vapor barrier in the bath

Insulation of walls framing the bath to produce the best mineral wool.Its thickness should be 50 mm.Mortgage wool between the uprights, in the course of which she is attached to him rails.Some places require insulation directly on the outer boards.It is secured by special dowels or nails having a rubber washer on top.

Features framing bath such that the worst thing for him is the presence of a large amount of moisture inside the structure during use in the cold season.Therefore, steam is required.The most optimal and inexpensive option is now the usual polyethylene film, which is placed under the inner linings.I need to be given to plating steam.There should be very high quality steam.Its role can be a glassine paper, aluminum foil vapor barrier film or modern.Not to be used for steam vapor barrier roofing felt or roofing material, as they exude the smell of a particular bitumen.

Proper baths device requires a layer cake of walls:

• outer lining.
• Vapor of glassine paper.
• Insulation.
• polyethylene film.
• inner lining.

sure inside the walls must remain 5-inch air gap.

Steam requires special attention, because we need a thermos effect.This is achieved by the fact that the heat insulator is attached inside the foil.And even add to it at least 5 cm of another heater.Decorating the walls and ceiling made of aspen or lime lining.This wood is very useful for health.

Finishes exterior walls

Not only can decorate the clapboard exterior walls.Today there are many modern materials that allow to give it an expensive and chic look at the whole structure of availability.Since the skeleton bath require insulation, it can be used for finishing thermal panels.This material not only has a decorative appearance, but is also the heater.In fact it is a heater, which is enclosed between two layers of PVC.The outer surface of the thermal panels has the form of decorative masonry or sprinkled with crushed stone.Panel equipped with special slots with which they are attached to each other.This ensures that no gaps therebetween.The outer surface of the product has a decorative coating, like a stone or brickwork.They are attached to the front panel with screws.

classic version is finishing brickwork.It can perfectly fit into any landscape at their summer cottage.Taxation brick frame structure looks very expensive and attractive.The price of such a finish is much less than the construction of walls made of bricks.At the same time between the brick walls and the frame you can put a heater, which will create additional heat protection.

most popular and easy finishing material - it's siding, it is the least expensive and very easy to install.In addition, the siding is very varied colors and textures.To simulate a natural log house music can be used finishing block.

built carcass way room, if decorate it properly, will be no different from expensive lumber or log options.
