Shower in the bath: arrangement rules, finishing options

The washing room is one of the most important rooms in the entire structure of a bathhouse or sauna. It must be said that the process of its construction is serious and responsible, because the entire relaxation in the bathhouse begins with it, so you need to think it through to the smallest detail.

In this article we want to give you a detailed answer to the question of how to arrange a washing bath.

Washing room in a wooden bathhouse

Design Features

The washing room is located in a place convenient for use - at the exit from the steam room or in an adjacent room. The space should be close to water supplies and drains. If the structure is installed at a distance from water intake points, then the owners will have to lay additional pipes.

The arrangement technology depends on the type of shower. In the bathhouse you can make 2 types of washing:

• Seasonal. In the summer design, instead of heating devices, the sun's rays are used. A water tank with a tap or a bucket-waterfall is installed on a flat pitched roof.
• Stationary. A traditional shower in a bathhouse is installed in an extension or inside a steam room. The functions are no different from the apartment options. The structure has drainage and water supply, a ventilation system and electricity.

The summer washing room is located in the dressing room. A person leaves the steam room, gets into the shower, then into the locker room. The ergonomics of the room protect people from contact with the outside world, while ensuring isolation and ease of use.

If a separate room is allocated for the washing room in the bathhouse, then in a separate space you can create an original interior from materials that differ from the decoration of the steam room. The isolation of the structure allows you to create a place for washing several people.

If the room is compact, then divide it with a partition and arrange a free area. Rational use of squares allows you to make maximum use of idle space. Heating and water heating are often combined with a steam room, which saves fuel. Depending on the size, from 1 to 2 people can take a shower in the bathhouse at the same time.

Preparing the walls

Above, we determined what the distance to the flammable wall should be, and there we came to the conclusion that it is much more practical to decorate them with refractory materials, so as not to waste the space of the steam room. Now it's time to talk about how this is done.

Budget-friendly, but not the best option, a sheet of galvanized sheet nailed to the wall

So, we have three and a half options:

• We attach the refractory sheet to the wall;
• plastering the wall;
• we make a brick casing for the stove;
• replacing part of a wooden wall with brick.

Let us explain why 3.5 - often they hang the refractory on the wall and build the casing. Moreover, the latter is installed not only for the purpose of fire safety, but also simply for safety, as well as for heat redistribution. You will learn more about why it is needed and how to make it in this article.

As for refractory, you can use mineralite - these are sheets of cement with fillers, reinforced with fibers. Excellent fire resistance. You just need to attach it correctly.

If the stove is located almost flush against the wall, then you will need two layers of mineralite with an air gap between them, which you will create using 3-centimeter ceramic bushings. The first layer is directly adjacent to the wooden wall, then there are bushings and a second layer of mineralite.

If the distance is larger, you can limit yourself to one layer, but it should not touch the wall - the same bushings are used to attach it to the tree.

You can put, for example, heat-resistant tiles on top of the mineralite (it is placed on heat-resistant mastic) or come up with another decorative design. As an option - mirror stainless steel. Its sheets perfectly reflect heat, but at the same time heat up themselves. Therefore, stainless steel is attached to a layer of any refractory - mineral wool, ceramic fiber, superisol, etc.

In principle, you can plaster a flammable wall (a layer of at least 2.5 cm) or use fire-resistant plasterboard.

Those who decide to bring the firebox into the dressing room either immediately put up a brick wall, or then cut out part of the log house or timber. In the brickwork, space is left for the combustion tunnel with a reserve, where a heat insulator, for example, mineral wool, is then clogged. The heat insulator is also used in places where the brickwork contacts the wooden wall. If you don’t want to replace the entire wall, make a portal – at least a meter long.

Water supply technology

The choice of location for the structure depends on access to communications. Automated liquid supply systems facilitate the operation of the steam room. If there is a centralized water supply nearby, then an additional thread is laid to connect to the main line.

When supplying from a well, a pump is installed and the wiring is carried out. Natural sources are divided into 2 groups:

• Underground. Spring and artesian water are suitable for use in washing baths. The collection is carried out by drilling or during the operation of wells.
• Superficial. There are a lot of pathogenic bacteria in open reservoirs, so before being supplied, the liquid goes through a multi-level filter system.

When laying pipes, preference is given to polyethylene or polypropylene types. The inexpensive material is easy to install. Metal models are more durable than plastic counterparts, but have high weight and complex installation (welding equipment).

Underground spring Source banya-expert.com

Utility networks in the shower of a bathhouse are often hidden from view under cladding in the walls or in the floor. Open communications are safe and easy to establish. If there is a breakthrough, the parts can be easily replaced without dismantling the partitions or coating. Shut-off valves are needed for hot and cold water. For polypropylene pipes, couplings, clamps and adapters are additionally used. The quantity and type depend on the length of the water pipe.

How to add water Source byrcompany.ru

To prevent the appearance of condensation in the shower bath, during installation, pipes with cold water are placed under hot water. The heated air will not rise up and, after cooling, fall onto the finish. When installed hidden, all elements are additionally protected with thermal insulation, otherwise the cladding and wooden parts will rot from moisture.

First use

The polymerization process produces a strong odor. Upon completion, the heat-resistant coating will achieve maximum strength and reliability. For the first time, you should heat the stove in a thoroughly ventilated area; do not heat it up too much. You can increase the temperature for subsequent use. It is necessary to conduct a thorough inspection of the structures adjacent to the stove, as well as the chimney. Assess the condition of wood cladding and other products.

The first use will indicate whether the installation of the equipment was carried out correctly.

Types of structures

It is considered convenient to connect to a centralized backbone network integrated with the home system. If this option is not available, there are 4 solutions for draining the liquid:

• Drainage well. The model is suitable for a small washing room in a bathhouse. The “cushion”-based design will ensure natural drainage of water into the ground.
• Storage tank. The wastewater enters a special tank that must be pumped out.
• Cesspool. The underground structure is placed at a distance of 2.5 m from buildings (residential, technical and bathhouses). Dimensions are calculated based on the number of people who will use the steam room.
• Septic tank. Sewers come in single- and double-chamber types and operate on the principle of a cleaning well. The role of a reservoir is played by barrels or containers without a bottom. Crushed stone with sand is used as a filter.

When installing a shower drain in a bathhouse, pay attention to the location of groundwater. When running close, the volume of the chamber is increased, otherwise the drains will not fit inside the structure. It is recommended to install a drainage pit and a septic tank in sandy soil. In clay species, moisture stagnates.

Dimensions of sauna stoves: metal

All that can be found on the market are metal stoves. They can be steel or cast iron, wood-burning, electric or gas, but they all belong to the class mentioned. So there shouldn’t be any problems with them: the manufacturer will tell you everything himself.

Steel and cast iron, with most models for Russian baths:

You can find out which models are the best for a Russian bath by studying the information from a separate publication.

As for electric heaters, the sizes of the models in question are presented in the reviews that are available on our website. One of them is dedicated to models of domestic manufacturers, the other - only to electric heaters from the Finnish Harvia, the third - to other Finnish companies that make electric stoves for saunas and baths.

Creation Rules

Water from the washing room to the drain tank passes through a pipe that is installed in the trench. The ditch is dug at an angle of 20 degrees. To avoid blockages, solid parts without seams or corners are used for showers in the bathhouse. If the soil freezes to 1-1.2 m in winter, then the sewerage system is insulated with glass wool or expanded clay.

Installation of drain pipes Source septik27.ru

The section of pipe entering the bathhouse is covered with a plug. The perimeter of the drain structure is covered with a thick layer of crushed stone, creating a slope towards the tank. The trench is filled with concrete mortar. To increase strength, use mesh.

The drain hole inside the shower in the bathhouse is installed near one of the partitions or in the corner. After the screed has dried, remove the plug and install the filter. After completion of the rough work, they are tiled or a pallet is placed.

If a washing room in the bathhouse is not provided for in the plan, then the floor covering in the room is dismantled for the installation, and part of the soil is removed. After installing the sewer pipe, slats are installed under the logs, which make a slope of 20 degrees. The boards are returned to their place, a drain hole is cut in the upper part. The floor is filled with reinforced screed, then the finishing is laid.

Rubble concrete foundation

Foundation for the stove.
The formwork must be installed on the base. A layer of large stones is placed in it. The resulting cavities are filled with crushed stone. Then the stone and crushed stone are filled with cement-sand mortar.

Mix the solution as follows: 1 part cement M 400-500 to 3 parts sand. The solution should be thick, like sour cream. They need to pour the first row of stone and take a break for a day, then lay the next row, which is then poured with mortar.

If the volume is small, then you can make a certain amount of concrete and complete the work in one day. After about a week, the foundation is ready for laying.

Electricity and ventilation

A humid environment conducts current well, so the panel, distribution box and switch are mounted in the dressing room. Sockets are prohibited from being installed in the washing room. The safest place from short circuiting is the changing room.

In a wooden bathhouse, open wiring is used, which is pulled through the attic. When lighting the shower, install moisture-resistant electrical appliances. The models feature a ceramic socket, a heat-resistant lampshade and a wooden lampshade.

Humidity will become a breeding ground for mold, which destroys the finish of the shower in the bathhouse and is dangerous to human health. To reduce the level in the room, ventilation is carried out. Natural air circulation provides pressure differential and ventilation. A forced system (fan, air conditioner) pumps in oxygen, and the filters are cleaned of contaminants.

Reviews

On the World Wide Web you can find many opinions about this product. The majority of buyers who purchased the Gorynych 3 stove were satisfied with their purchases. The furnace fulfilled all its obligations. I can't help but be pleased with the favorable price. Some users noted that buying a ready-made stove from a Russian manufacturer is much more profitable than ordering an individual assembly.

There are also negative reviews, although they are associated with the above-mentioned disadvantages of the model: heavy weight and size. Before purchasing, you must take into account the required minimum dimensions of the bath.

Hot water options

A shower in a bathhouse needs not only cold, but also hot liquid. The type of equipment depends on the frequency of operation of the steam room and the technical features of communications. Among the popular designs there are 5 models.

Stove heating

Hot water is obtained from a heater designed for use in a bathhouse. Cold moisture entering the heat exchanger heats up and passes into the storage tank under high pressure. When you open the tap, warm liquid flows to the shower faucet.

During consumption, users must ensure a constant supply of cold water. Comfortable conditions are only available when the stove is running. If there is no electricity in the bathhouse, then a hand pump or motor pump can be used to supply moisture.

Gas

In an area connected to a centralized supply of blue fuel, you can install a column. A flow-type gas heater quickly heats water for a shower in a bathhouse and does not depend on the availability of electricity in the steam room. To install the equipment, follow the operating rules.

Exploitation

Kindling is done with dried firewood. For this it is better to use deciduous trees. It is undesirable to use coniferous raw materials, since the resin fumes from coniferous wood will quickly clog the chimney.

When raking out the ash, it is necessary to leave at least a few millimeters - this will serve as a thermal layer between the concrete base and the burning wood.

The diameter of the chimney is quite large, so if used properly, cleaning will be required no more than once every three years.

The cleaning hatch is located at the rear of the oven. If you plan to completely cover the stove with bricks, you must plan access to the cleaning hatch in advance.

When lighting, the tank must be filled with water. After using the sauna during the winter months, the remaining water in the tank must be completely drained, since at low temperatures the solidifying water can tear the metal.

Nuances of operation

After the first warm-up, you can increase the temperature, but before that, inspect the entire structure: the chimney, the stove itself and everything that is adjacent to it. Assess whether the wooden elements are damaged. If after the first warm-up there are no comments, the installation was carried out correctly. Subsequent operation is carried out in compliance with some nuances.

• Choose only dry firewood, ideally hardwood. Coniferous firewood emit resin fumes, which means that the chimney will become clogged with soot in a much shorter period of time. The fastest wood to clog a chimney is maple, spruce and pine.
• When removing ash, do not remove it completely; leave a thin layer so that a thermal layer is formed between the burning fuel and the concrete. There should also be some soot left on the walls to improve the combustion process.
• Since the diameter of the chimney of the Gorynych models is quite wide, frequent cleaning will not be required if the operating rules are followed. The minimum frequency of chimney cleaning is once every 3 years.
• Do not block access to the cleaning hatch.
• The stove operates according to the standard, but it is necessary to carry out the first 2 fires with the windows and door open.
• If you decide to use old wood for kindling, make sure that there are no dyes or adhesives on it.
• The tank is filled with water after the fire starts.
• If the bathhouse does not warm up in cold weather and cools down to sub-zero temperatures, pour the water out of the tank, otherwise the seams may burst.

Finish options

The interior design of the shower room can replicate the interior of the steam room or be the complete opposite. The choice of materials for the room depends on the technical features of the bathhouse. Among the popular types, designers note 5 varieties.

Tile

The beautiful, practical finish is moisture resistant, allowing it to be used in a washroom. Strong, durable material is not afraid of mechanical damage and is not sensitive to aggressive detergents. A variety of sizes, shapes and colors help to create an original design of a shower in a bathhouse.

Finishing options Source postroeczka.ru

Finishing in a washing bath Source baniy.ru

Before installing ceramics, waterproofing is carried out and the surfaces are leveled. Moisture-resistant tile adhesive is used for cladding. After installing the material on the walls and floor of the shower in the bathhouse, maintaining the room is simplified. You can combine glossy and matte finishes to create a beautiful space design.

Stone

The natural pattern of the finish emphasizes the originality of the washroom design. Granite, marble and sandstone are suitable for cladding a shower in a bathhouse. In combination with chrome taps, the polished quartz surface looks impressive. Fine-grained travertine is combined with bronze fittings. Heavy types are used for areas not exceeding 50 cm in height.

Washing room finishing options Source design.altaysun.ru

Composite stones imitate the appearance of natural species. The finishing is based on acrylic or polyester substances that are combined with natural raw materials. Materials with resins are prohibited from being used on walls bordering the steam room. When heated, the decor releases toxic fumes that are dangerous to people.

Wood

To decorate the shower room in the bathhouse, natural hardwood (oak, linden, alder) is used. The surfaces are covered with block house or clapboard. Wood-based panels are easy to install and resistant to mechanical damage. The material brings a pleasant natural aroma to the room and makes the interior luxurious.

Installation

Multiple Workflows

Having received the model, you need to take care of the base before installation. For 200 kg only concrete will do. Metal, brick on a frame, etc. – it’s best to leave all this for light stoves. Having placed the stove on the base, they immediately check the corners with a building level. Yes, minor deviations are inevitable, but that's okay.

After completing the installation and measurements, be sure to cover the contact plane between the concrete and the furnace itself. And not just cement, but a specialized composition with fire-resistant properties.

Facing masonry does not include a facing type of brick. Only solid, ceramic. When purchasing these materials, it is advisable to consult with the seller, who will definitely convince you of purchasing yellow (fireclay) or red solid ceramic bricks.

The chimney also requires attention. Here it is better to hire an experienced worker. It is worth considering that the manufacturer has already taken care of the diameter of the chimney, so reducing it is prohibited. It is also worth taking care of the health of users and not installing asbestos cement at all.

Interior items in the washing room

The ease of use of a shower in a bathhouse depends on the equipment of the room. The room has hooks for clothes and cabinets for detergents. Shelves for storing textiles are often made of wood. Models made of strong plexiglass will help to keep the space optically uncluttered.

Furniture in the room Source irkutsk.zoon.ru

Instead of traditional benches, compact chairs can be placed along the walls. Wooden sun loungers look impressive, next to which there are cabinets on wheels. The size of the table depends on the washing parameters in the bathhouse. In a large space, a massive table is appropriate; in a small space, a folding model or a bar counter is appropriate.

Arrangement of a washing station Source izhbani.ru

The washbasin is not a mandatory element of the interior. If the size of the room is limited, then the functions of the sink are taken over by the shower in the bathhouse. Near one of the walls you can place a tall narrow cabinet on which you place a tub of water. Shelves with household chemicals are installed nearby.

A shower cabin is a convenient and practical option, which is often used in a bathhouse. Closed models with swinging doors are easy to place in a spacious washroom. Strong acrylic glass can be traditionally transparent or with a smoke effect (matte). In a compact room, designers recommend options with sliding doors (accordion).

Closed cabin Source dizainexpert.ru

If the shower in the bathhouse is needed only for washing, then open models are used. The design consists of a wall-mounted mixer and a tray. Based on the type of material, there are 5 types of bowls:

• Enameled. The steel is coated with a thin protective layer against destruction. Plumbing is very easy and inexpensive. Strong water pressure causes iron to rattle, and minor damage leads to rust.
• Ceramic. Beautiful, elegant earthenware models will harmoniously fit into the interior of a shower room in a bathhouse.
• Cast iron. The surface of heavy pallets is covered with a layer of enamel. Due to their weight, the structures are difficult to install, but durable.
• Acrylic. To prevent a light shower in a bathhouse from bending under the weight of a person, it is placed on supporting legs during installation.
• Marble. Beautiful, decorative elements are very expensive.

Model specifications

Dimensions of the furnace, its compartments in diagrams

Here is a visual table:

All bath rooms are heated thanks to a pipe through which burning gases pass. The pipe is located in the heater. The floor with the washing compartment will be heated from the tank and the lower planes of the firebox.

For your information! Never cover the tank inside the wash compartment with bricks. There will be a loss of heat transfer.

The firewood is laid from the rest room; accordingly, its heating will occur due to the metal plane of the stove. When this part of the bathhouse serves exactly its intended purpose, it is more correct to install air heating (additional kit). It works like this: fresh air from a large room is drawn into the air ducts of the installation, where it is heated. After this, the air, already heated, tends to return.

The advantage of this addition is that even severe frost in a cold bath will disappear in 30 minutes. While the water is heating up, the locker room (aka rest room) will feel like home.

Stylistic design

The beauty of the interior depends on the direction in which the room is kept. To make the bathhouse look like a single whole, the design of the shower room becomes a natural continuation of the space with the steam room. The design can use related styles or options that have similar features.

Rustic

The classic Russian style will harmoniously fit into the interior of the log house. The room has many wooden details decorated with hand carvings. Textiles with national ornaments were placed on the windows, shelves and tabletops. The rubberized floor mat visually resembles a path with geometric patterns.

Russian interior design Source banya-ili-sauna.ru

Heavy, rough furniture is appropriate in rustic design. The color of the wood of the interior items does not match the shades of the walls, floor and ceiling. Instead of benches, you can install wicker boxes with pillows. Household chemicals were placed on the shelves in containers resembling clay pots and bowls.

Chalet

The abundance of rough wood in the finishing of the bathhouse washroom makes the Alpine interior visually similar to a Russian rustic one. Stone-like tiles are used to decorate the shower. Antique faucets were made of bronze. On the walls there are forged hooks, hangers and shelves made of solid wood.

Rough, untreated furniture looks brutal and luxurious. Lamps in metal frames were placed under the ceiling of the washing room in the bathhouse. The interior of the room can be complemented with a real or decorative woodpile.

Minimalism

Decorating a shower in a bathhouse in a restrained style makes the room elegant and laconic. The simple geometry of the cabin blends harmoniously with the shape of the room. In a compact space, a pallet is used, and instead of doors, a curtain on rails is used.

A laconic direction in the soul Source houzz.se

Natural wood will add natural notes to minimalism. The panels on the walls are polished to a shine, and the floors have simple gray tiles. Instead of traditional furniture, a podium made of wood is installed. Spotlights are installed along the perimeter of the ceiling.

Simple design Source intercom.in.ua

Loft

Brutal industrial style will fit perfectly into the interior of a room of any size. The design of a shower in a bathhouse is characterized by a deliberately rough finish. The walls in the washing room are often decorated with tiles reminiscent of the texture and color of plaster. The decor imitated with wild stone or brick looks original. The roughness of the finish is combined with a glossy floor covering.

Industrial style Source pinterest.com

The type of shower in the bathhouse depends on the parameters of the room. A full-fledged cabin with glass doors will harmoniously fit into a spacious room. In a compact space, the “wet” zone can be distinguished visually (finishing, lighting) or physically (half walls). The loft uses practical modern furniture.

Eco style

The natural direction harmoniously combines the simplicity of minimalism with decorativeness. A beautiful, comfortable interior is created using natural finishes. The design of a shower in a bathhouse combines the warm texture of wood with the smoothness of marble or the roughness of sandstone. Greenery details (stabilized moss, flowers) are appropriate indoors.

An eco-style shower is tiled with stone-like tiles or waterproof panels reminiscent of wood. Traditionally, sliding transparent partitions are used; there are options with half walls. The interior is furnished with furniture made from natural raw materials with minimal processing.

Varieties

Depending on the material used, sauna stoves are made of metal or baked brick.

Brick

A brick (or stone) stove is a classic of bathhouse buildings, but its construction requires certain experience and skills, compliance with safety regulations, knowledge of the technology for ensuring good traction and other important nuances, without which the proper functioning of the stoves is impossible. In addition, a stone structure requires sufficient space in the room, the creation of a separate foundation, and special compliance with fire safety rules.

Metal

Today, the most economical option is metal sauna stoves, which have a number of undeniable advantages.

• Economical. The metal stove is compact, its installation does not take much time and space.
• Huge selection of options. It is possible to choose a model suitable for a specific bath.
• Ease of installation. In order to install a ready-made metal stove, no stove making skills are required.
• Due to its compactness, a metal stove can be covered with a heater. This way it will keep warm for a long time and look like a classic sauna stove.

Recommendations

When equipping a steam room, you need to take into account the features of this space.
The main point is the complete drainage equipment. Any steam room must have a high-quality drain through which water flows. It must be equipped in such a way that water flows towards the main pipe. It is through it that the water leaves the steam room. Despite the fact that many people think this system is more suitable for showers or washrooms, it can also be safely used in steam rooms. Having planned a full-fledged sewer system, it is worth working on this process from the very beginning. To do this, you need to lay the pipe at the stage when the foundation is being created. Ideally, it should be taken out into a pit located at least three meters from the bathhouse. Often this very pit is additionally lined with bricks or dense concrete rings. The bottom in this case is laid out with gravel. All this guarantees reliable protection against waste leakage.

Another equally important point is thermal insulation. A good steam room must be well insulated, and there are many ways to make this idea a reality. This includes a high-quality foil coating, which, due to its thinness, prevents the construction of too dense a finish, as well as mineral wool and other materials.

When choosing one type of insulation, you should definitely take into account that most of them react negatively to high levels of humidity. If this is the case, then it is necessary to additionally waterproof the protective layer.

It is also important to take into account the presence of adequate and high-quality ventilation. This is a very important detail

If the ventilation is poor, then it is unlikely that you will be able to fully relax in the steam room. Instead of relaxation and rest, headaches and problems with the cardiovascular system may occur.

Hoods, according to professionals, should be located at the top. The fact is that when the air heats up, the temperature first rises at the top. Therefore, it is in this area that ventilation holes and supply vents are located. They must also be supplemented with special exhaust grilles. It is these structures that are responsible for allowing cool air into the room.

In some cases, steam room owners prefer to make do by periodically opening the doors or windows during procedures. It’s easy to guess that this is not enough, and you can’t do without a full-fledged ventilation system. Its installation must be taken responsibly, and, if possible, the structure should be located closer to the stove so that the cold air coming from the street is immediately warmed up, because cold air is contraindicated in such conditions.

In conclusion, we can say that if a person can make a steam room correctly, that is, equip and insulate it, then he will be able to get maximum pleasure. And this will give you the opportunity to enjoy not only the work done, but also the visit to the steam room. The main thing is to avoid even minor mistakes.

To learn how to properly decorate a steam room in a bathhouse, see the following video.

Other selection criteria

Volume of the tank

In order not to make a mistake with the size of the tank, it is enough to make a simple calculation. On average, one person needs a bucket of water for washing, that is, 8-10 liters. Knowing how many people will visit the bathhouse regularly, you just need to multiply this number by 10 and add another 20-25 liters in reserve.

Installation method

Several factors are important here: the performance of the stove, the area of ​​the steam room, the volume of the container. If the room is spacious and the stove is small, it is not advisable to reduce its performance with a built-in tank of 60 liters or more. In this case, the tank must be made remote or mounted on a pipe. If the steam room is small and the efficiency of the stove is high, the water in the small tank will quickly boil away. That is why it is necessary to carefully analyze all the conditions and select the optimal solution.

Convenience in the bathhouse also means a lot. The tank should be located so that the risk of getting burned on a hot surface is minimal, and water intake is convenient. If the container is located high (remote or samovar type), a tap is needed to supply hot water. Drawing water through the top is very inconvenient and unsafe.

If you carefully study the conditions, think through and weigh everything, choosing a hot water tank will not be difficult. With a well-chosen design, bath procedures will bring you only comfort and pleasure for many years.
