More and more often baths from cinder blocks appear on private territories, because many natural materials are short-lived and quite expensive these days. In this regard, developers are trying to choose the option that allows you to save finance and extend the period of operation. However, only quality blocks should be purchased. Products made in "handicraft" conditions, most often have a violation of proportions, so they will not be able to last long. In addition, such blocks are produced by conventional casting, which does not allow reliable coupling of components.
In most cases, a bath of cinder blocks is performed by oneself, since it is possible to save a considerable sum of money without hiring a construction team. In addition, the construction process using this material is quite simple. Naturally, the construction begins with a foundation. For this, columnar designs are quite suitable, but they still can not be considered the best option. Much more reliable tape foundation, able to act as a reliable basis. It is preferable to build baths from slag blocks on dry sandy, as well as on stony ground. Serious danger is peat, small sandy and clay soil. The height of the socle part should be more than fifty centimeters.
When the construction of a bath of cinder blocks is carried out, special attention is paid to the insulation of walls from cold, steam and moisture. Although the porous slag is present in the structure of the block, the cement slurry becomes a continuous "bridge of cold". Thus, it is recommended to perform insulation from the inside and outside to achieve good performance. From the outside, it is desirable to use a moisture-proof insulation. The facade of the building should in any case be ventilated.
The roof of the bath of cinder blocks may have one or two slopes, although the second option is much preferable. With a gable construction, it becomes possible to create a separate room for storing various inventory, as well as provide additional insulation. By assembling the truss system consisting of beams and trusses, it is possible to start the device of the battens, the type of which, in the first place, will depend on the chosen roofing. The most commonly used is the euro-slate or corrugated board.
After the construction of the roof, such baths require finishing. The facade part is closed with a facing brick or any other modern materials. Then it will be possible to protect the walls from the effects of nature. The insulation is laid between the lining and the main walls. As for interior decoration, then the best option can be wood, since it is a natural material. The floor must be made of concrete. On top of him are laid the usual wooden grilles. Correctly constructed bath from a cinder block is able to satisfy any requirements of connoisseurs of steam.
