The construction of the bathhouse on their own site is planned by almost every owner, and most of our fellow citizens choose not the Finnish sauna, not the Turkish hammam, but the original Russian, steam. No doubt, each of them is good in its own way, but Russians are more accustomed to a hot, moist steam room with a fragrant broom and kvask.
And it smells in a special way - the smoke from good firewood and a birch leaf, or even spruce needles, as in a real forest. Whatever you say, but only in a Russian bath the body soars, and the soul soars. “Steaming hot bones with steam - you will fix the body” - this is the wisdom of the people.
The layout of the Russian bath is very simple: at least it is a washing room, a dressing room and, of course, a steam room. The dressing room serves as a dressing room and a place to relax after washing procedures. Our contemporaries are accustomed to surround themselves with various amenities; this also affected the baths. Its layout often involves the installation of an additional lounge, equipped with all conceivable amenities.
It is especially pleasant here to relax after a pair of comforts, chat over a cup of fragrant infusion of medicinal herbs, relax and experience real bliss. But let's move on. As a rule, the temperature in the washing department is not too high, the steam is light. This room is intended for washing, massage, cosmetic procedures. Here benches and a couch are established (in former times it was called shelves).
The layout of the bath in Russian traditions is unthinkable without a steam room - this is her heart. "A bathhouse without steam - that soup without a fat." Good steam and cruel broom - the eternal attribute of the steam room. The quality of hot air depends on how long the walls of the bath are able to retain heat. They must be heat-resistant so that the room warms up evenly, and also have the ability to naturally regulate humidity. It’s not without reason that for centuries Russian steam rooms were built of wood, this material embodies all the requirements of bath art.
The layout of the bath should take into account the location of the steam source. Previously, it was always a stove - a stove built of natural stones and installed indoors. But the innovations of our time also touched on the technology of producing clubs saturated with moisture in the air. Often, for this purpose, modern controlled steam generators are used. The traditional layout of the bath is not a dogma, it is supplemented by other rooms, such as a shower room. If we recall the Russian custom - after a sultry steam bath to plunge into cold water - then you can swipe at the construction of the pool, especially when the funds allow. This is especially true if there is no suitable reservoir nearby. Of course, the layout of the bath from the availability of additional facilities and amenities will only benefit. After all, by and large this is a place where they rest not only with their bodies, but also with their souls. Russian bathhouse is the easiest and surest way to maintain health, preserve youth and beauty, strengthen vitality and restore good mood. Steam room lovers do not know this in words, the healing power of our bath has long been known all over the world.
