Thermal insulation of the bath from the inside and the skis

Visiting Russian baths is very popular among the people, because it is a good occasion to talk with friends, cheer up the spirit, and generally get better. The sauna, cut down from a tree - is a wonderful addition to the interior of your yard. Especially popular are the saunas cut from solid logs or beams.

No wonder that from ancient times only solid wood was used to build bathhouses. The speed of assembly, high heat retention, the presence of resins and phytoncides in wood, very well influencing the human body - are permanent advantages. However, we must not forget that the construction of a real bath does not tolerate haste.

When erecting it must be taken into account that the humidity in such a room is always increased. Therefore, special attention is paid to ventilation and the heating system, which must be constantly maintained in perfect order. It is also important that the bath is properly insulated from the inside. Walls and windows should have good thermal insulation. The comfort of staying will be greatly disturbed if the windows blow, and from the walls and the floor carry cold.

An important detail in the construction of a bath is the selection of wood for the foundation and walls. It is recommended to use a coniferous forest with a circle of 20-25 cm, since it is easier to work with it than with a thicker one. After the erection of the log house it is necessary to give it up to two years for the structure to dry up and shrink. After this, you can take on the insulation of the bath from the inside. After shrinkage and drying between the logs, there will appear cracks, which need to be worn on both sides. If their dimensions are large, then more serious insulation of the bathhouse will have to be made inside and out. It consists in applying insulation from glass wool. This procedure is necessary to keep the dry air mass in the steam room. Finish the insulation of the bath from the inside is best done with the lining of the steam room with a lime board. Lime panels can be wall and exterior. Very often the same method makes the insulation of a brick bath from the inside.

Do not forget about the windows. They must be cut below the shelves for the adoption of steam procedures. Only with this arrangement of windows can they be opened during the adoption of steam baths, and the steam will not come out. Important importance is the correct glazing of windows. Do window openings need small, and insert glass with double frames. Interframes must be sealed or sealed with vulcanization rubber, glass - putty. The window fittings are lubricated with anti-corrosion grease. Also for glazing of baths, double-glazed windows are used, and the windows are already installed in them. Doors are insulated by padding on the outside with felt.

Particular attention should be given to the insulation of the ceiling. There are various ways for this. One of the most popular insulation materials today is clay, mixed with straw or sawdust. Wall warming from the inside in the bath can also be done with clay. At the same time all joints and cracks in the walls are greased, and then heaters and vapor barrier are applied. If these conditions are met, the comfort of your procedures is guaranteed!
