Baths from foam blocks.
The rapid development of building technologies has led to the fact that many modern products appeared on the building materials market, which replaced traditional technologies in construction. One of these materials is a foam concrete with a large number of advantages, such as: low weight and the presence of standard sizes that greatly facilitate construction. This material also has high stability, both low and high temperatures. This allows a bathhouse built of foam blocks to quickly recover after freezing and not to warp when exposed to high temperature.
Construction begins to create a project of a bath of foam blocks, in which they take into account the norm of useful area per person, which should be at least 5 m. It is also necessary to follow some rules. One of which is to lay the foundation to a depth of at least 0.5 m. During the construction of the foundation, you should not forget about the waterproofing and erection of the blind area from the outer sides. The height of the walls of the bath should be more than 2 m, and the attic should be well ventilated. The doors must be installed in such a way that the gap that protects the door from jamming when swelling is formed. In this case, the width of the door should be 60-70 cm, and the height-160-170 cm, which prevents excessive heat loss. The threshold is made 20 cm higher than the floor level.
For interior decoration, use a tree, well dried and smoothly string. The content of the resin in it should be as low as possible. The bathroom’s fittings should be made of galvanized steel, which gives metallic details to corrosion resistance. The first row of construction is built from more dense foam blocks, which are connected by cement. To fasten the subsequent rows, an adhesive mixture is used. In this case, the vertical and horizontal level of masonry is controlled.
