How to arrange a sauna in an apartment?
Draw up a project and coordinate it
This requires a project that will need to be coordinated with the housing inspectorate or partnership of homeowners, as well as with the sanitary and epidemiological service, Rospotrebnadzor and the State Medical Sciences.
You will also have to take into account the requirements of regulatory documents. But which of them should be guided? Moszhilproke refers to SP 31–07–107–2004.
But this applies only to the capital. In each of the regions, certificates should be made to local authorities. It is better to equip a sauna next door to the bathroom.
You can purchase a design already manufactured at the factory. Such saunas are in the assortment of both domestic and foreign companies. Cabins are already fully equipped with furniture and equipment.
In the modern market, a number of firms offers saunas in which several walls can be made of heat -resistant glass. But wooden saunas are still popular.
Materials
The traditional finishing material is a lining, for example, from linden or alder. To enhance the decorative effect, the heat -processed Canadian cedar is often used.
— The frames of the regiments are assembled from ordinary glued bars — best larch (however), pine.
— The flooring of the regiments is made of linden or porous wood of Abashi, which does not heat up very much in the hot atmosphere of the sauna.
— When finishing the steam room, it is not customary to use varnishes and paints, since they release volatile compounds harmful to health for a long time.
Only special, designed for saunas of coating based on mineral oils and aquatic emulsions of polymers are suitable. A prefabricated sauna will not require much time and troubles.
It is easy to install in an already repaired apartment, if only for it it is provided for a suitable place with the possibility of connecting communications. This is not a «dirty» process, all the work will take about two days.
The products of foreign companies, as a rule, are more expensive than domestic by 40–80% and will deliver it no earlier than 3 months after. You can also order a sauna by individual sizes and choose your favorite complete set. The sauna made in the construction method will cost cheaper than the finished.
But it should be equipped during the repair of the entire apartment. And this is a fairly long process. And the result mainly depends on the professional skills and responsibility of the specialist. For example, if you do not glue the place of compounds with tape, then steam from the sauna will penetrate into the dwelling right during the session.
Sauna in the apartment: all regarding the temperature
And if in Turkish?
Nowadays, not only saunas, but also miniature hammams are built in apartments. The fundamental difference between such a steam room is the indicators of temperature and humidity, the corresponding design and the equipment used.
The temperature in the hammam is relatively low — 40-50 s., and relative humidity is 100%. The tree does not withstand such conditions, so I finish the steam room with tiles, mosaics or natural stone.
As for the walls and frames of the regiments and other furniture, the panels most often serve as material for them. They also provide for water heating of seats, walls and gender (for this you have to install a boiler).
The specifics of Hammama and the fact that the floor is made by drain, and the exhaust ventilation channel is necessarily equipped with a capacitor. In the cost of hammams significantly surpasses the sauna.
