Dimensions and layout

The width of all transported baths is 2.3–2.4 m. This makes it easy to transport them on trucks and train platforms. The length of the transport bath can be different.

It comes with a bath most often also a heater with a tank for hot water. Around it, thermal protection of galvanized metal and basalt cardboard is mandatory . In the dressing room, benches and a table are usually set. Therefore, this room can also be used as a small rest room. In large-sized transport saunas, a small shower room is also sometimes equipped.
Design features
The weight of the mobile bathhouse is very small. And therefore, they do not install it on a solid foundation, but simply on concrete blocks. The latter are most often included in the package. The walls of this type of bath are made up of profiled or glued beams and have a thickness of about 15 cm. The floor is knocked down on the logs. For its insulation, as well as roof sheathing, mineral wool is used.
Inside, the finished transported baths are usually lined with lining, and outside, either to it or to a block house. In the steam room, the foil material is pre-mounted on the beam. Pine lining is usually used in the washing and dressing rooms, and lime in the steam room. The roof of the transported baths is made of galvanized metal.
