Baths of brick with their own hands.

If you decide to start building a bath of bricks, then you will have to choose which brick to use in this case. This should be given special attention. Build a bath of brick can be using silicate or socle material. Silicate costs less than the base, so you will save when using it. However, such a bath of brick will look less respectable. The basement, which is made of baked clay, is more ecological. Deciding to build a bath of burnt red brick, you need to pay attention to how well it is burned. Undivided - brightly scarlet. It should not be bought, because it is very fragile and will collapse. The violet-brown color indicates that the brick was burned. It has an irregular shape and will create inconvenience during construction.

There are several ways to build a brick wall.

1. Make a layer in the wall of sizes from 4 to 6 cm. This will allow air to act as a heat insulator.
2. Inside the walls put a plate heater.
3. Make a well-walled masonry, that is, in the interlayer between the walls to cover the insulation.

Begin the construction of a bath of brick from the masonry. Deciding to do it yourself, you will save considerably, but you will have to work physically. However, you may like the process of construction, and you will get pleasure from it. In this case, you need to be pretty neat. If you initially put the brick wrong, then later there will be difficulties in laying. Therefore, you need to monitor each series, and then the work will go easily and quickly. Basically, a bath is built in one and a half or two bricks, that is, 0.38 or 0.51 meters, respectively, and the partitions in the bathhouse are folded in half or a quarter of the brick - this is 12 and 6.5 cm, respectively. Before the beginning of the laying on the foundation, insulation in the form of a roofing material is usually insulated. A few first rows of masonry make of socle construction material, regardless of how they build a bath.

Brickwork with own hands

When building a bath of bricks, the laying should begin from the corners, to which you need to pull the cord-pier. If it will sag, then under it it is necessary to lay a stone. This will ensure a smooth vertical and horizontal rows of masonry. Also, the thickness of the horizontal joints is the same.

A sauna made of brick by oneself is difficult to build, however compliance with certain rules will help you in this matter.

1. First, the first row should be built of a whole brick.
2. It is important to start laying outside.
3. The broken material, if available, is used for masonry on the inside.
4. Do not use broken bricks for corners or supports.
5. Each completed row should be wetted before laying the next, especially in hot weather.
6. Broken or modified form bricks are put a bat side inside the masonry.
7. The jagged row is support for the beams.
8. After several rows of masonry are ready, it is necessary to strengthen it. For this, a mesh netting or steel rods must be installed in the seam.
