The device floors in the bath can be performed using various materials. We will talk in more detail about the concrete coating, its advantages and disadvantages.
Compared to wood raw materials, the installation of floors in a concrete bath is a more time-consuming and expensive process. On the opposite side of the balance you can put a longer life, of course, with proper care. Another significant advantage of concrete coating is the possibility of tiling with tiles or stone (in the dressing room it is still better to give preference to wood). In turn, wood is a natural material, more visually pleasing and relatively inexpensive. It should also be borne in mind that concrete is a cold material, which means that it requires additional finishing in the form of wood gratings or cork panels.
The first important point, which includes the installation of floors in the bath, is the installation of water outlets. If the soil on which the structure will stand is sandy, then it is best to dig a hole under the sink - in one of the corners.
Its depth can reach 0.5 meters. After a hole has been dug, it must be filled with gravel or gravel, and then the floor device must be performed. In a bathhouse of any size, a sewage system must be installed so that
water is drained into the ground, several perfumes must be made in the basement base to eliminate odors and general ventilation. Another option for the preparation of sewage involves the installation of pipes designed to drain water. Thus, water will be discharged from the premises of the bathhouse into the street, and not into the ground. Pipes, as a rule, are displayed on a specially prepared ditch. Preparation of conditions for the disposal of used water is the last stage of the initial work, then you can directly perform the installation of a
concrete floor in the bathhouse.
At the place where the installation is planned, the soil is initially compacted with a small angle of inclination towards the drainage of used water. Upon completion of the ramming, the site is covered with gravel or gravel, while maintaining the previously set angle of inclination.
The thickness of this layer should be in the range of 15-20 cm. Next, you can begin to
pour concrete. The device of the floors in the bath implies its filling in two layers, between which a heat-insulating pillow is laid. The thickness of the first layer is approximately 50-70 mm, it repeats a given slope. After the final drying, thermal insulation is laid, which can be used as felt, expanded clay or glass wool. An ordinary plastic film spreads over the insulation. The final stage of work is pouring the second layer of concrete mortar (
perlite is recommended to be added to the mortar itself
, this will increase the functionality of the finished floor) and again with the preservation of the previously set slope angle for the water flow. Fill as accurately as possible, as the surface should be smooth. This is necessary in case you still decide to "refine" the surface with tiles. In this case, before laying it will be necessary to make a leveling screed.
