What should bath complexes be built from?

Profiled timber is high-quality raw material. It has the following advantages:

• low thermal conductivity - this contributes to long process cooling. Heat is stored for a long time, there will be no losses.
• various designs - there are square, rectangular and intricate solutions. You can build an irregularly shaped frame.
• quick assembly- experienced craftsmen complete the work within 2 weeks.
• slight shrinkage - gives the right to immediately use the object.
• decorative appearance of the steam room - does not require facade finishing. In this case, it is necessary to treat the wood with protection from moisture and fire.
• environmental friendliness - wood pure material. It allows the building to breathe. A healthy microclimate is created in a wooden structure.
• low prices - savings occur in comparison with logs. This construction will be cheaper if the contractor has his own production.
• baths made from 4x4 timber are durable - they last for more than 50 years, without requiring additional investments.

Among the many bathhouse designs, the 4x4 size is one of the most popular. The point is the square shape of the structure and small size. At the same time, the bathhouse is spacious and functional. About how to build a 4x4 sauna with your own hands, the features of the project and its price in one article.

Bathhouse 4x4 made of rounded logs with a small terrace.

Typical bath plan 4x4 m

The 4x4 m bathhouse design is worthy of users' attention for its good capacity. A standard one-story building includes the following layout:

steam room, washing room, bathroom, dressing room and relaxation room or terrace under a common roof. The design of a 4x4 m bathhouse can be one-story or with an attic. Upstairs there is a full-fledged room for guests or for relaxation. Because of small sizes The box easily fits in a small summer cottage or near a private house.

You can assemble a 4x4 m bathhouse from timber, plain or rounded logs, bricks or cinder blocks. The simplest option is made from timber, since correct form structure and timber makes it easy to assemble the box with your own hands.

On a summer cottage, a project with an open or closed terrace is usually chosen. After taking the procedures, it’s nice to go out into the air and breathe. A common roof makes the terrace protected from wind and rain.

Main Features standard project baths 4x4 m:

1. The area of ​​the foundation is 21.60 m2.
2. The area of ​​the interior is 11.50 m2 + 2.7 m2 terrace: steam room 4.14 m2, washing room 3.59 m2, terrace 2.7 m2, dressing room 3 m2. You can redesign the interior in your own way, so if you remove the terrace, the dressing room will become larger. Fit a full-fledged recreation room.

A 4x4 sauna can be purchased in a ready-made box or made independently. The easiest option is to buy turnkey, the price for this starts from 450,000 rubles. This is without finishing or insulation. For comparison, a ready-made box for assembly by yourself costs from 300,000 rubles. One of the 4x4 bathhouses can be seen in the video:

Construction of a bathhouse

The construction of a 4x4 bathhouse is carried out according to the selected project. You can compose it yourself or take a standard one, for example, in this article. All stages of construction include:

1. Installation and selection of foundation.
2. Construction of the box.
3. Roof.

Each of the stages can be done with your own hands. But if you don’t have the skill to assemble a bathhouse, you can reduce the cost of construction by preparing the foundation. In this case, the box is assembled by professionals. Let's consider all stages of assembly in more detail.

Foundation installation

The choice of foundation for a 4x4 bathhouse depends on the material from which it will be built:

1. Beam - lightweight strip foundation, columnar or pile.
2. Brick, blocks, logs - full-fledged strip foundation or monolithic.

Lightweight strip foundation for a bathhouse

The easiest way is to make a lightweight strip foundation. The choice of design depends on the level groundwater. If the bedding is high, then a pile or screw is used. We will look at a regular tape one.

To install it yourself, you need to choose a place for the bathhouse and make markings. A trench 50 cm deep will be dug along it, the bottom will be covered with a sand cushion. Formwork made of stainless steel is mounted on top edged boards and a reinforced frame is attached for strength. Next, the foundation is poured and left to stand. Don't forget to do it separately. It’s good if the finished foundation stands for more than 6 months, so it will fully mature and shrink.

Box assembly

Assembling a sauna box from timber

The bath box is assembled according to the plan. We will look at timber.

The first link of the bathhouse is laid on top of the foundation. The first link should be of a slightly larger cross-section, made of moisture-resistant wood. Aspen or larch is suitable. The price of the timber will be higher, but over time the bathhouse will not begin to rot. The fact is that wood is hygroscopic and water from the foundation easily rises up the timber. And there’s no need to talk about the combination of wood and water again.

The walls are assembled in stages. It is easier to use profiled timber; it is easily connected using a tongue and groove lock. A jute tape insulation is laid between each link.

The timber is connected to each other wooden dowels. They can be made from scraps building material or buy ready-made ones. We do not recommend using iron connecting elements; over time, the walls will dry out and the iron will become visible. The bathhouse will lose its aesthetic appearance.

If the bathhouse is assembled from ordinary timber or logs, then after assembling the box it is necessary to caulk the walls. Caulking is carried out along the perimeter of each row of logs. You can’t caulk first one wall and then the other, the bathhouse will warp.

Internal partitions are easier to assemble right away. Window and door openings do not need to be left; they are cut out at the very end of construction.

Bathhouse roof

Collect gable roof you can do it yourself.

The roof assembly for a 4x4 m bathhouse can be made from any comfortable material, even from jointed boards. The roof must be assembled clean or rough. Bathhouse assembled from material chamber drying immediately covered with a clean roof, natural humidity must stand for 1 year.

The roof structure for a 4x4 m bathhouse is suitable for a single or gable roof. It’s easier to assemble a lean-to with your own hands. It all depends on the owner’s imagination. Let's just say what simpler design, the more reliable the roof will be.

The top of the roof is covered with any material you like: corrugated board, slate, andulin, tiles. We have already talked about the advantages and disadvantages of these materials.

Interior decoration and landscaping.

A 4x4 m bathhouse can be easily decorated from the inside with any material you like. Square shape allows the use of all types: lining, imitation timber, ceramic tiles etc. Main requirements for material for interior decoration:

1. Environmentally friendly.
2. Fire resistance.
3. Easy to install.

The lining in the bathhouse is attached to the counter lathing, with foil insulation on top.

It is optimal to use linden or aspen lining. The lining is attached with your own hands to a sheathing made of timber with a cross-section of 40x40 mm. But first it is necessary to thermally insulate the walls of the steam room. For thermal insulation, mineral wool and ecowool are used. The inside of the steam room is lined with foil insulation. It will reflect steam and the thermal insulation will be higher. The ceiling of the bathhouse also needs to be insulated using sawdust, expanded clay or mineral wool.

Next, the stove is installed and the chimney is removed. For a small bathhouse 4x4 m, you can make both an internal and external chimney. The choice depends on the perseverance and experience of the owner. A low-power stove of 3.5–5 kW or a wood stove is suitable.

Price for a sauna

The price for building a 4x4 bathhouse depends on what kind of work the owner is willing to do with his own hands. For our readers, we present the average cost of work and materials in the form of a table; using it, it is easy to calculate how much a bathhouse will cost on average.

To save money, you can do some of the work yourself; the price will be significantly lower. You should not skimp on material and foundation. They must be reliable; if you do not have the skill to build a 4x4 m bathhouse with your own hands, we advise you to buy a ready-made box made of profiled timber. Even a beginner can assemble this with his own hands. But in general, the design of a 4x4 m bathhouse is quite budget-friendly and convenient for DIY construction.

Small summer cottage plot- a big problem for the owner. After all, on this land (usually three or six acres) you need to fit everything - and country house, and a barn, and a bathhouse. Modern architectural solutions make it possible to do this without any problems - for example, a bathhouse measuring 4 meters with your own hands will perfectly fit into the exterior of the site, without interfering with anything and fulfilling its health purpose.

You can build a compact bathhouse measuring 4 x 4 m without contacting construction organizations and the company, especially if it is a frame-panel project. For a family of 3-4 people, 4 4 is optimal in terms of room area and number. The bathhouse will have a steam room (or room for a sauna), a dressing room (room for storing bath accessories, clothes and shoes), and a relaxation room.

A log structure is good for its traditional nature, but with the same external dimensions, the internal area of ​​​​the premises will be smaller (due to the diameter of the logs), and this is a big drawback for a bathhouse with dimensions of 3 by 4 or 4 x 4 meters. This property of a log structure must be taken into account when making calculations.

Some planning features:

1. It is more convenient to build a small bathhouse in such a way that the internal usable area was divided into two identical rooms: the first room will be used for relaxation after a steam room or sauna, and the second will be reserved for a steam room and a shower room with a toilet. Second large room divided into unequal parts: a larger area is allocated for the steam room;
2. You can save on size if you plan the heater near the wall in the recreation room, but the placement of the stove can be absolutely arbitrary, but in compliance with all fire safety requirements;

In the bathhouse project small size You should be guided by the following features:

1. The entrance doors to the bathhouse can be located on any side of the building that is convenient for use, and depends mainly on the location of the interior;
2. Entrance doors to the rest room, shower and steam room it is better to place taking into account free movement between them, and not close to each other;
3. The main thing is that the shower room is located next to the sewer entrance, which will make construction a little cheaper, and make the drain faster and more difficult to clog;
4. A small 4 by 4 bathhouse, the layout of which is shown in the figure above, must have a spacious (for 2-3 people) steam room, which means it must be larger than a shower room, since several people can steam in a steam room at once, while Only one person can enter the shower room;

The main thing about a compact bath

The simplest design of a bathhouse measuring 4 x 4 meters consists of one room, which simultaneously serves as a vestibule, a steam room, and a dressing room. It's quite inconvenient, but compact. A heater or electric stove is installed in any convenient corner of the steam room, and two or three shelves up to two meters long and up to half a meter wide are made in the room, and the bottom shelf is made wider than the top ones.

The figure below shows just such a project - it has only one large room, which is divided by a thin partition in order to retain steam in the steam room. The stove works for both rooms, but the hot part is located in the steam room.

This project does not have a porch, as it is designed for a minimal budget. But, if a porch is built, then it should direct a person into the vestibule, which will go into the dressing room. This measure will help to better retain heat in the bathhouse. You can store firewood and other sauna supplies in the dressing room.

The oven is lined with red fire bricks, installed on a separate concrete foundation, the inside walls are sheathed with fire-resistant materials. Before combustion door The oven needs to be secured with a thick steel sheet of metal - ≥10 mm.

The division of premises by area is done based on the expected number of visitors. Standard projects are based on traditional requirements: the shower room is made as small as possible, giving way to the steam room.

It is quite difficult to fit a terrace for a bathhouse measuring 3 x 4 or 4 x 4 meters into the design parameters of the building, since it takes up space from the remaining premises, and the project does not involve expanding the external dimensions of the building.

Internal planning of a bathhouse should be carried out taking into account the available free space and people who can steam and relax at the same time. Practice has shown that, for example, two people will feel comfortable in a steam room if its area is ≤ 6 m2, and for three people the area increases to 8 m2. The table shows data on the possible number of people depending on the size and area of ​​the bathhouse premises:

Premises	Seated position			Lying position		Seated position	Lying position
Number of people	1	2	2	2 – 3	3	3 – 4	4
Steam room (dimensions in cm, area in m2)	85 x 115	115 x 115	115 x 180	130 x 180	140 x 180	150 x 180	150 x 200
Shower	115 x 130	115 x 145	180 x 180	180 x 180	180 x 200	180 x 210	200 x 210

Sauna	215 x 215	215 x 260	295 x 300	310 x 310	320 x 340	330 x 360	360 x 380

The following tips can be given to floor lighting:

1. All lighting fixtures must be moisture-resistant;
2. The light from should not be direct.

The wood for the construction and decoration of the bathhouse has been selected for years and decades, and the table that you see above is based specifically on the practical use of wood in conditions high humidity and contrasting temperatures. The most suitable types of wood for bathhouses are larch, linden, cedar, and from “foreign” wood that does not grow in the Russian Federation - abashi. The standard and comfortable interior decoration of a bathhouse is lining, which is considered not only practical in terms of installation, but also environmentally friendly. When heated, the lining does not emit toxins or other substances harmful to humans. And if the carriage is made of the above-mentioned types of wood, then, when heated, it will release beneficial esters.

1. Linden - retains its yellowish color throughout its operation, regardless of humidity and temperature;
2. Abashi - almost does not conduct heat, always feels the same temperature to the touch, does not burn the skin. Uniform texture yellow makes the room brighter;
3. Cedar – has healing properties, as stated traditional medicine, hardy in relation to high temperatures and humidity, except for excretion essential oils, when heated, gives a pleasant smell of forest;

You should choose lining not only according to its appearance– lumber low quality can release resins when heated, and liquid resin that gets on the skin is a 100% burn. Therefore, specifically for finishing purposes, lining or boards with veins of resin are not allowed, while wood for the construction of a bathhouse frame may have such minor defects.

It is best to finish the ceiling with tongue-and-groove boards made of hardwood– there will definitely be no resin in it, and the multilayer structure makes the material strong and durable. It is precisely because of the presence of resins coniferous wood not recommended for finishing internal surfaces any bath.

Selecting the best wood for building baths

For the construction of houses and baths, we use only the best coniferous forest, which we harvest personally on the plot. We are cutting down a forest near Velizh, small town in the Smolensk region, near the border with the Pskov region. Our construction site is also located nearby, where we process our logs and assemble projects before shipping. On our site you can find ready-made log houses and order them without waiting. These are most often typical small projects, including a 4x4 sauna frame. There are options with the removal of logs under the veranda, two-story 4x4 log houses with an attic.

They built a house for me in 2018, according to my design, by professionals in their field. The project itself is somewhat more expensive compared to its competitors, but in our village they built one more house and the owners were satisfied.

We ordered the construction of a bathhouse, they completed it in the shortest possible time, without any complaints about the work of the team.

Full cycle From the production of materials to the assembly of the house, the organization is excellent. Quality, professionalism top level. I recommend it.

It is very important to find your own manager who will advise not only when concluding a contract, but also during construction. We talked with Igor, as a result, the bathhouse is ready on the site, we are using it, everything is fine. Thank you.

Great houses, great service! They told us everything and helped us with the choice. You can see everything live - we went to a facility under construction roughly similar to ours, where we saw how they work, only after that we decided to build. We thank the managers and builders for their patience in answering all the questions!

In 2018 we ordered a bathhouse. We are very pleased with the work of the employees of this company. Starting with the estimate and ending with the construction team. We were lucky because of the promotion and received a sauna stove as a gift!

Thank you for the house with a sauna. The website lists some prices, but in reality it turns out to be more. But it’s understandable that the price indicated is for the very minimum, like everyone else on the Internet, if you want comfort, pay extra for extras. In general, “thank you” to the builders.
