Can a Russian bath exist without a stove? Of course, no - in this case it will turn into a completely uninteresting and prosaic bathhouse, because the main thing in a Russian bathhouse is steam. To obtain it in the required quantities and is built in the sauna stove. It heats the air in the steam room to a temperature higher than 60 degrees, on its hot stones it accumulates thermal energy, the water falling on the stones is instantly transformed into such a healthy steam that burns steam.

Fans of custom solutions in the construction industry, thinking about building a bathhouse on a personal plot, are increasingly refusing to build a traditional Russian bathhouse. And the reason for this is not only the desire for originality, but also a huge number of advantages of analogues of the Russian bath. One of the most common analogues, the interest of builders in which is increasing more and more, is the Turkish bath hamam.

The rivalry of the Russian bath and sauna is gaining momentum daily. Fans of a real Russian steam room zealously defend their positions, but, despite this. The popularity of saunas is only increasing. The principal differences between steam baths and saunas are temperature indicators and the level of humidity, which have a completely different effect on the human body.

Sauna, being a powerful immunomodulator, is an excellent tool to increase the body's natural resistance, reduce weight and remove toxic substances. The benefits brought by the sauna can hardly be overestimated, but, despite this, the sauna in the apartment of an average Russian citizen is, to put it mildly, infrequent, in contrast to Finland and Canada, where nobody can be surprised. Apparently, the reason for this lies in the fact that the idea of \u200b\u200bequipping a sauna in an apartment until recently was one of the fantastic and unrealizable ideas. A few years ago, the prospect of building a steam room in an apartment environment was considered impossible and was not considered as an feasible project.

In order to save money, or if you want to avoid difficulties with the construction of more complex options, today they often resort to the construction of a frame bath with their own hands. The option of constructing frame structures attracts the opportunity to get a major structure in a short time with minimal cost.

The preservation of heat in the washing compartment and the steam room directly depends on how well the roof is insulated. Of course, a well-made floor and carefully sewn walls also play an important role, but hot steam always rises and if the roof is not insulated in the bath, then all efforts to create the right temperature in the steam room will go to waste.

The floor is waterproofed in the bath regardless of whether it is wooden or concrete, since neither one nor the other loves prolonged exposure to moisture. Therefore, if you want the built bathhouse to last long enough, you need to qualitatively perform waterproofing the floor. We will talk about how to properly waterproof the floor in the bath and what types of floor waterproofing in this article.
