At this stage of the construction of a bath or sauna, the base is formed for the future steam room. When constructing a sauna or bathhouse from weightless materials (shields, wooden and other beams) on stable soil, a columnar (or pile) type of foundation is used. When building a log or other heavy material on non -stable soil, the strip type of foundation is used. For light types of steamhles designs, the foundation of concrete blocks is used, and for more weighted – a reinforced type of concrete. The foundations for the arrangement of saunas and baths make a columnar, strip or brownish type. Tape foundations are concrete, missile, reinforced concrete, stone or brick and other. The foundations of the columnar can be made of stone or pillars of concrete, wooden chairs and others. It will not be superfluous to find out more about internal convectors on the Internet.
The durability and reliability of any structure (the bath is not considered an exception) depend on the accuracy of the design and the laying of the foundation.
When equipping the strip type of foundation for the bathhouse, one should not forget about ventilation of the underground, because moisture from wastewater leads to the formation of mold and poor smells. Because of what, what material would be used to build a strip foundation, it is necessary to provide for ventilation outlets in it. The main constructions of the foundations consisting of tape types, their width depends on the overweight of the walls of the sauna or bath. Когда баню возводят из кирпича, то грузность стен ее не может быть менее пятидесяти сантиметров, из-за чего и ширина фундамента обязана быть соответственной. For a chopped bath, the width of twenty -five to thirty centimeters will be sufficient.
The strip types of foundations are built on rocky and sandy soils. They are equipped under the load -bearing types of walls of sauna or bath. At a relatively dry position of the soils, tape foundations can be built on clay soils.
With the deepest run of the foundation, the soil is laid to the entire depth, and the base is made even and covered with granite shift, sand and gravel.
