Bans used to be wooden. However, due to the high cost of the beam, today you have to look for him to replace options. One of them is expanded clay concrete blocks. This material is good because it is environmentally friendly, quite hydrophobic, it weighs little (less than a brick), allows you not to do vapor barrier, has many varieties, durable. And its large dimensions contribute to an increase in masonry speed. Want to know how to fulfill your dream and build an excellent bathhouse?
Start with the foundation
To build a bathhouse, it is not necessary to have equipment for the production of expanded clay concrete blocks. But without filling the foundation you can’t do here.
Expanded clay concrete blocks in themselves are lungs. Thanks to this, when building a bath, you can make a column foundation. This will be more economical than the manufacture of a strip.
You stopped on a columnar foundation? Then the basis for blocks can be a metal corner. He will bind all the columns into a single design.
Put the walls
For this purpose, you will need hollow blocks. They must also be tied up with a metal net. Mosquiting reinforcement do every two or three rows.
The roof is the next stage
On the final row of blocks, you need to put wooden bars. You can choose roofing material, guided by taste and price.
For example, you can use materials such as:
slate;
roofing material;
Ondulin;
corrugated board.
And now – finish and warm
It is necessary to prevent the accumulation of condensate (vapor) on the walls and ceiling of your bathhouse. To do this, make a vertical crate from bars on the walls. Then lay the basalt insulation. Cover all this with foil paper on top. To ensure the air gap between the insulation and finishing materials, it is necessary to put the rails on the foil. They should be 2.5 cm thick. We mount the lining to them.
To finish the walls of the bath from expanded clay concrete blocks from the outside, you can use facing brick or plaster.
