What can you design a bathhouse from?
It is important to decide in advance on the material from which you plan to build the bathhouse. Bathhouse construction technologies have their own number of nuances, which depend on the material of construction.
- Tree. It is the most common and traditional material for building a bathhouse. Ecologically pure natural material, which was used by our ancestors, does not lose relevance in our time.
- Foam blocks and bricks. If foam blocks are used for the construction of a bathhouse, Special attention waterproofing is required. When choosing a brick, it should be noted that for finishing individual parts of the steam room, it is necessary to use refractory bricks.
Types of bath projects
Currently, there is a wide variety of bathhouse designs. This can be either a separate building or an extension to a house or cottage. The second option is the most economical, since the installation of communications and the location of the bathhouse and the house under one roof significantly reduces the cost of construction.
The area of the bath complex depends solely on the preferences and financial capabilities of the customer. In addition to the steam room, shower and relaxation area, it is possible to locate additional relaxation rooms, billiards, an indoor or outdoor terrace, as well as a swimming pool.
Everyone should have a place where they can relax, get healthy and have a good time. A bathhouse can provide this opportunity, and we can offer a project for a log bathhouse. Natural material will make the procedure even more useful and enjoyable.
The quality of the procedure also depends on the structure of the bath itself. Price policy This design can vary depending on the logs: rounded (the log is leveled over the entire surface by processing in a special installation) or debarked (they are more durable, retain the structure, but there is no top layer).
Already exist finished projects wooden baths and log houses, but each customer can develop his own individual plan.

Peculiarities
Log bathhouse projects have many advantages and disadvantages.
pros
First of all, it is worth noting the advantages of log buildings:
- Structures made from natural wood delight with their environmental friendliness. This is a material that is completely safe for health, thanks to the use of which an ideal microclimate is created in the room. Even the products used to impregnate and protect the facade are non-toxic.
- Wood is an excellent basis for walls also because this material retains heat well in the room. Thanks to this, a fairly comfortable microclimate is created inside the bathhouse.
- Wooden walls not only retain heat inside, but also have good soundproofing properties. But natural wood allows air to pass through, so it’s easy to breathe in such a room.
- Also pleasing is the fact that the construction is strong and durable. Especially if you additionally coat the material with protective agents such as varnish and special impregnations.
- The last plus is the ability to create truly unique and original buildings. Wood is easy to process and sand. In addition, it can be decorated with exquisite carvings. You can even do this yourself, without turning to professionals for help.
Minuses
As for the disadvantages of log baths, there are plenty of them too:
In general, despite all the existing disadvantages, wood is a very good material for building a bathhouse. If you follow all safety rules and listen to the advice of professionals, you can get a reliable and luxurious building that will delight you with its appearance and quality for a long time.
Types of buildings
There are many ideas that can be used when building baths. Home steam rooms differ not only in their design, but also in size. Before building the bathhouse itself, you need to calculate everything on paper and make the necessary drawings.
Classical
The standard option is a 6x8 bathhouse. This building is large enough, so there is enough space not only for the steam room itself, but also for a dressing room in which you can place a locker room or a place to relax. Single-story baths of this type are a true Russian classic. They have enough space for both family gatherings and relaxation in the company of friends.
Building with an attic
If there is not much space in the yard, then you can build a two-story building or at least add an attic to the room. This solution is suitable if you are planning a very small bathhouse, measuring 3x3, 3x5 or 3x4. As a rule, if a building with an attic is being built, there is a steam room on the first floor, and a relaxation room on the second floor, which can comfortably accommodate several people.
In some cases, the attic can be equipped as a billiards room or, for example, a place to watch your favorite sports programs on a big screen. This is very convenient, since the relaxation room will be located separately from the stuffy steam room. In some cases, you can even make a separate entrance to the attic by attaching a convenient staircase to the side.
With terrace
A bathhouse with an additional terrace is just as good as a house with a veranda. Such a room can be built from scratch, and a terrace can be added to it when the bathhouse is already ready. This option is suitable both for very small buildings measuring 3x6 or 3x5, and for more spacious ones, for example, 6x6.
On the terrace you can place sun loungers, folding chairs or a table surrounded by log benches.
By the way, the terrace itself also serves a decorative function. Especially if it is surrounded by a decorative fence.
Large building
If there is a lot of free space in the yard, then you can build a truly luxurious building of large size from calibrated timber. Designing such a building will take a lot of time, because you don’t want to waste free meters.
A bathhouse measuring 8 by 8 or more allows for the use of many different design ideas. There is enough space for a steam room, a dressing room with space for storing firewood, a shower room with a toilet, and even a guest room. In this case, you don’t even need to make 2 floors - there will be enough space for everything.
A swimming pool can be located next to such a building, as well as near buildings measuring 4x4, 4x6 or 5x5. Even a small pond is enough to cool down a little after a bath and relax. There are both round pools and rectangular or even corner ones.
From logs you can make both standard buildings measuring 4 by 6, 6x4, or 4x5, as well as more original buildings. Even the best ready-made ideas can always be supplemented with something of your own, adding standard project zest. When designing a room, you definitely need to take into account all the features of the landscape, as well as how many people will relax in this room.
Materials
To build bathhouses in a suburban area, you can use different materials. For those who do not understand the topic of construction at all, it is better to entrust this process to professionals. Builders will select the ideal material that will withstand both weather conditions and high humidity.
Foundation
Before choosing the material that is used to build walls, it is worth choosing a high-quality foundation. This is a very important stage, since the wood can shrink, and to prevent this from happening, you need to strengthen the base.
A strip foundation is best suited for classic baths. It is both easy to implement and inexpensive. Therefore, the construction of a bathhouse when choosing such a foundation is much cheaper, and even non-professionals can cope with its pouring.
Wood
To build the base of the bathhouse, you need to choose very high-quality wood. This is one of the most important stages, because it depends on the selected logs appearance the buildings. Wood for a bath should be chosen of very high quality and free from any defects. There should be no cracks or damage, or any colored spots.
Before starting the construction process, you need to thoroughly dry the material.. This is very simple to do - just put the logs in the yard and keep them in the open air. After this, their surface of the cylindrical beam must be treated with special means that protect the wood from fire, rot and pests. Without this, the building will not last long.
To build a bathhouse from rounded timber, you need to choose the right type of wood. Experts say that aromatic pine logs are best suited for log houses. In this case, preference should be given to trees cut down in cold winter. This is what makes wood resistant to moisture. Chopped larches, spruces or cedars are also suitable.
Interior
There are many interesting ideas on the design of the interior of the bathhouse and its external decoration. To begin with, you should pay attention to the characteristics of each style direction, and then decide which one is most suitable for your bathhouse.
Russian
One of the most popular finishing options is a traditional Russian-style bathhouse. On the one hand, the interior of such a room can be truly simple, but on the other, truly luxurious. It all depends on the choice of materials and decorative details.
The log walls and wooden floors look very good on their own. Therefore, no additional finishing is needed. Furniture will decorate the room. There is a place for it both in the rest room and in the dressing room. Furniture in the Russian style consists of wooden benches, tables and chairs, decorated with exquisite carvings, or simply made from boards.
In the washing room there is also a place for decor in the Russian style - a watering can used instead of a classic shower, or an original wicker rug. You can experiment with decor in a recreation room or guest room. Here you can put a large table covered with an embroidered tablecloth, display luxurious sets or antique samovars on the shelves.
All kinds of lamps can be used as decoration. Metal or bronze lamps look best in a Russian-style bathhouse. A source of living fire like a real Russian stove would also be appropriate. It can be additionally painted with bright colors or painting in a traditional style.
In such a building there is also room for an original swimming pool. The pond described in old Russian fairy tales is a combination of contrasts. Two round mini-pools are filled with water: one is warm and the other is ice-cold. It’s not a fact that swimming in it will have a rejuvenating effect, but it will definitely improve your health and lift your spirits.
Rustic
This interior decoration option is similar to the previous one. But here everything is much simpler. There is no artificial gilding or luxurious decor. Everything is done as simply as possible - the wooden base is complemented by handmade decorations.
Anything can serve as decor here - from a simple birch broom to a wooden tub or mugs. All kinds of wicker napkins, rugs and other textile products that will fill the room with comfort will also be useful. And here all sorts of delights will obviously be superfluous. This applies to both forged decorative parts and modern jewelry.
Modern
If the option of a traditional Russian or simple village bathhouse seems too boring, then you can choose something more modern to decorate the room. For example, a light bathhouse made of high-quality logs, decorated with LEDs around the entire perimeter of the room.
In a modern steam room, it is worth installing not a huge heater, but a metal stove, for example. Furniture can be chosen to be multifunctional and practical. In modern-style log bathhouses, you can experiment a little with the layout, trying new ones unusual ideas. The dressing room, for example, can be set aside as a stylish locker room, and the washing room can be supplemented with a bathroom.
To decorate the rest room, you can choose all sorts of little things that evoke associations with the sea: shells, starfish, pebbles covering the floor.
In general, the interior decoration of a bathhouse is, of course, less luxurious than the design of a residential building. But nothing prevents you from decorating this place to relax at your own discretion, changing the style and atmosphere.

Exterior finishing
There is no need to be particularly sophisticated with the exterior decoration of a log bathhouse. The rounded log house itself looks very laconic. Therefore, all you need to do is cover the logs with a protective layer of varnish or antiseptic agents. This will slightly decorate the wood, making its texture more expressive and, of course, extend the life of the building.
In some cases, the room is also additionally insulated so that you can steam even in severe frosts.
It is recommended to begin the exterior finishing of the bathhouse not immediately after the construction of the bathhouse. It is worth waiting a certain time for the tree to settle well. When a couple of weeks have passed, you can already install the windows. A Wall decor and insulation should only be started a year or even two after construction. This way you can be sure that the tree will not “float”, and the structure will remain beautiful for many years.
The façade made of timber must be covered with a high-quality composition, which will subsequently prevent the reproduction inside the tree of all kinds of insects or any other microorganisms. Properly selected products, by the way, also decorate the base of the bathhouse, emphasizing the wood fibers. To protect the log house from rapid aging and rotting, methods of working with wood such as sanding and caulking are also used.
