The bathhouse has become an integral element of almost every summer cottage. Today, many owners of country houses are happy to build such structures, allowing you to relax after work in the garden or in the garden. Designs of modern baths are unusually diverse. It can be whole complexes, including a swimming pool, a gym, restrooms, etc. In the event that the size of the site does not allow building a large room, it is worth considering the implementation of such projects as a bath with an attic.
Such a structure can actually become unusually convenient. It’s so nice after the steam room to go upstairs to the relaxation room, billiard room or guest room. Here you can relax perfectly with a cup of aromatic tea. Such facilities are equipped in completely different ways. One thing is for sure, baths with an attic are structures extremely popular at this time. This is due precisely to the convenience and comfort that you can ensure for yourself by supplementing the summer cottage with just such a project.
Construction of a bath with an attic It is not particularly difficult. To put such a structure on the site for almost everyone. If the bath is already there, you can simply attach an attic to it. An attic is a residential attic, used most often only in the summer. The first to invent dwellings in the attics were the French. Once such premises were most often occupied by representatives of bohemia - artists, musicians, writers.
In the event that your bath already has an attic, the matter is even more simplified. It is enough to equip it accordingly. Baths with an attic - a special case. The second floor can be used not only in summer, but also in the off-season, as well as in winter. The fact is that warm air, as everyone knows, tends to rise up. Therefore, in a similar attic during the operation of the bath, it will be warm in any case, which will significantly save on heating. This is another feature that makes such projects unusually popular.
Typically, such structures are made of timber or logs. Partitions can be made of a single layer of boards or frame, hollow or with water-repellent filler. The main difficulty in the construction of buildings such as a bath with an attic is the installation of proper hydro and vapor barrier, as well as ventilation. Usually, you need to do some pretty complicated calculations. Therefore, this work is often entrusted to specialists. If you do something wrong, the steam, rising up, will penetrate the second floor. As a result, condensation will appear on the walls. And this, in turn, can lead to their premature deterioration. In addition, being in such a room will not contribute to maintaining health, which can negate the whole effect of the adoption of water procedures.
Of course, not everyone can afford a grandiose building with an attic in several rooms, a swimming pool and a gym at the cottage. This will require large material costs. However, a 6x6 bath with an attic can be a good choice for almost every owner of a suburban area. Its construction will not take much time and will not require investing too much money.
