Planning a plot with a house and a bath
To the location of the steam room at the site are requirements for fire and sanitary safety, as well as associated with a convenient connection to communications.
When planning a place for a bath take into account:
- Construction material. If the construction is wooden, the distance to the neighboring house should not be less than 10-15 m.
- Fuel. If the bath is supposed to be heated with firewood, 5 m recede from the fence, 2.5 m with gas.
- The presence of a central sewer. If it is not, at least 8 meters recede from the apartment building, well, or cellar.
- Red line. The distance from it to any building on the site is not less than 5 m.
Room layout
Finished projects offer a convenient zoning area of the building. The premises in the baths are divided into sections:
- water procedures - washing, steam room, sauna, shower, swimming pool, jacuzzi;
- for rest - a waiting room, living room, bedroom, billiard room, terrace, gym, solarium, phytobar;
- auxiliary - changing room, kitchen, vestibule;
- technical - furnace, boiler room, storage of wood, a place for drying brooms, laundry.
The premises should be conveniently located and properly communicated with each other. The washing room is preceded by a dressing room and dressing room, from it you can go into the steam room or pool. For winter use in the bath additionally suit the platform, which prevents the penetration of cold air and the appearance of drafts.
The steam room, shower and shower should have a separate entrance. Technical premises are separated from the rest. The bedroom or recreation room is located in the attic, which leads stairs. It is equipped with a stable railing and non-slip coating steps. If a swimming pool is arranged in the bath, it is combined with rooms for water treatment and access to the terrace.

- Traditional Russian steam room - The stove is heated to a high temperature when wood is burned. To humidify the air, heated stones periodically pour water, infusion of herbs, kvass. For massage use birch, juniper, rowan, oak and even bamboo brooms. Suitable for this purpose are herbs and shrubs rich in essential oils.
- Turkish hammam - heat is supplied from the heated pipeline, which passes through the walls along the perimeter of the room. The temperature does not exceed 55 °, which is comfortable for people who do not tolerate heat. The steam is emitted through special channels at a height of 1.5 m. Marble, natural stone and tile dominate in the decoration.
