Were finished, it was time to think about separation internal space on separate rooms. total area log house 6x4 m, so I included in minimum required steam room, washing room and vestibule. The vestibule was fenced off during the construction process. It remained to decide how to separate the steam room and washing room. Having sifted through a lot of literature, I came to the conclusion that the easiest way is to make such a partition according to frame technology. Firstly, it is built very simply and quickly, I did it in 3 days. Secondly, the price was almost pennies. Thirdly (very important!) light frame and practically does not load the foundation. I will describe how the construction was carried out.

Step 1. Assembling and fastening the frame

The most labor-intensive part of the work is assembling the frame from 50x50 mm bars. I decided to collect it immediately on the spot. At first it was nailed to the floor joists bottom beam(lower frame), the outer posts were attached to it and the walls. The top beam (top trim) is laid and secured on top.

Installation of a timber partition frame

I would like to note that only 4 months have passed from the construction of the log house to the installation of the partition; shrinkage is still ongoing. Therefore, I left a gap of 2 cm between the top trim and the ceiling - to compensate for shrinkage deformations of the log house. The gap was filled with jute felt. All this was done in the expectation that when the log house shrinks, the ceiling level will drop and be set just at top harness partitions.

For greater rigidity, metal corners are screwed in at the junction of the side posts and the trim.

Racks were installed at 600 mm intervals, and an opening was made for door block and brick oven screen. It is important to note here that the stove is planned to be fired from the washing room, so its front part with a brick shield must be built into the partition.

All gaps between the walls, brick panel and frame beams are filled with jute felt.

Step 2. Insulating the partition

I decided to implement the internal filling of the frame according to this scheme:

Scheme of internal filling and lining frame partition

As insulation, I used Technoblock Standard basalt wool (TechnoNIKOL) - in the form of slabs 50 mm thick. According to the manufacturer, this material must withstand heating up to 400°C, not burn or melt. Also basalt wool non-hygroscopic, suitable for wet areas. Even if a drop of moisture gets into the partition (despite the vapor barrier), the inside will not begin to rot. Well, it is also important that basalt wool is absolutely safe for health and does not emit anything when heated.

The width of the wool slabs is 600 mm; when installing between the racks, they had to be compressed a little. A sharp knife was used to cut the slabs (if it was necessary to install parts, for example, above a shield, above a doorway).

Basalt wool slabs between the pillars of the partition frame

Step 3. Sheathing the insulation with foil (from the steam room side)

On the steam room side, the insulation was covered with foil in 2 layers. I think foil is the best vapor barrier for a steam room. Firstly, it does not allow steam and dripping moisture to pass through. Secondly, it increases thermal insulation properties partitions (or walls), as they reflect infrared radiation.

The foil I bought turned out to be thin, so I decided to lay it in 2 layers. First, the first layer was shot and the seams were sealed with foil tape. Fastening was carried out using construction stapler, on the frame posts. On top, at intervals with the first layer (so that the seams do not coincide), the second layer is laid. The seams, holes from the stapler, and corners are also taped with tape.

When I unfolded the foil and then pulled it onto the frame, in some places it became thinner and began to wrinkle. There were no holes, but, for my own peace of mind, I also sealed these damaged areas with tape.

Sheathing the insulation with foil (vapor barrier) on the steam room side

The joints between the brick panel and the foil are heat-resistant silicone sealant(antifungal). This sealant dries quickly and bonds diverse surfaces well.

Step 4. Covering with waterproofing (washing side)

From the washing side, there is no need for foil; you can get by with waterproofing. To do this, I bought a roll of vapor-permeable membrane “Izospan A”. On the one hand, it will prevent splashes of water from the washing machine from entering the insulation, and on the other hand, it will allow the insides of the partition to “breathe” and be ventilated.

I secured the Izospan A sheets with an overlap to the frame posts. I covered the seams and holes from the stapler with tape.

Fastening sheets of waterproofing "Izospan A"

Step 5. Fastening the lining (from the washing side)

The paneling was done from the washing room side. Here I had some thoughts waiting for me. The neighbor argued that the ventilation gap between the vapor barrier and the lining is a useless thing, taking up space and not affecting anything at all. At the same time, a builder I knew proved the opposite. It seems like the gap allows condensation, if it forms, to flow down the vapor barrier and not be absorbed into the lining. I thought that this opinion was more sensible and made a mistake. Although, I'm not entirely sure of its necessity.

To organize the gap, slats are placed on the frame posts. Their thickness is the size of the gap. I used 15 mm slats and nailed them onto the posts using regular thin nails.

The top of the slats was covered with pine clapboard. To protect against moisture and add color, I walked over the surface with the antiseptic composition “Supi saunasuoja” (Tikkurila) in 2 layers. The wood is tinted perfectly, the color is even and beautiful. Was bad smell from the antiseptic, after 3 days it completely disappeared.

Covering the partition with clapboard is done using thin slats

Step 6. Attaching the board (from the steam room side)

I decided to cover the partition on the side of the steam room not with clapboard, but with a board 35 mm thick. This board is used, it once lay on the floor in the house. The floors have now been replaced, but the boards are still in good condition. Although it already looks quite worn, blackened, and has stains. To give the board new life, I sanded it well grinder. Half an hour of work and upper layer removed! The board turned out almost like new.

Again, a ventilation gap was formed, this time 20 mm thick. The slats for it were used with a section of 40x20 mm. I nailed the slats to the frame posts, and boards on top of them. All fastenings were made with nails.

After finishing the planking, the surface of the boards was covered with “Supi saunasuoja” (Tikkurila). The antiseptic dries quickly, I painted the partition in 2 layers in a day.

In the future, I plan to lay tile cladding 1 tile high along the bottom of the internal walls of the log house and the partition. This will prevent rotting lower crown log frames and partitions located in wet conditions steam room and washing room.

This is what a frame partition looks like in a log bathhouse!

This is the partition I made in the bathhouse. Fast, inexpensive and without assistants. I’ve already had time to take a steam bath in the steam room to evaluate the quality of the fence. What do I want to say? The thermal insulation qualities of the structure are excellent; in 2 hours the bathhouse warms up completely. Due to the removal of the shield in the washing room, the washing room also warms up during heating. There is no condensation on the partition, the coloring composition does not change its color.

The good thing about a frame partition is that it can be easily installed in any bathhouse. Be it in a log house, or in a brick or gas silicate structure. This design is universal, and its content can be changed depending on its purpose.

The division of the internal space of the bathhouse is carried out using partitions. We will tell you about their types, features and structure in this article.

Designing partitions in a bathhouse


Before making partitions in the bathhouse, you need to determine the area of ​​​​the planned premises. Their sizes depend on the dimensions of the building and the number of regular visitors. Based on these data, the plan relates the bulkheads to the existing walls of the bathhouse, indicating the axial dimensions. The location is then determined doorways and the amount of material needed.

The following can be used as partitions in a bath:

  • Transformable structures - sliding, soft folding, rigid doors, sliding and screens.
  • Stationary structures - brick, wood and glass partitions.
The type of planned partition depends on the requirements for it. If the bath space is divided for a long time, ensuring reliable thermal and sound insulation premises, durable stationary design partitions. In other cases, you can get by with mobile or collapsible versions, for example, to separate the locker room from the bathhouse rest room combined with it.

Each type of stationary bath partition has a number of advantages and disadvantages that must be taken into account when choosing the type and material of manufacture of a particular structure. Since the main part of the bath bulkheads is stationary, there is a need to talk about them in more detail.

Features of a brick partition in a bathhouse

Brick partitions are made not only in stone baths, but also in wooden log houses. This is especially true in cases where the furnace door of the furnace is removed from the steam room into the dressing room or rest room, and dividing wall combined with a heating device.

Advantages and disadvantages of brick partitions for baths


Their advantages are due to excellent physical characteristics:
  • Brick partitions have good soundproofing properties. Half-brick bulkhead structures have a “noise” insulation index of 47 dB.
  • Brick is a moisture-resistant material. At quality device For bath ventilation, the appearance of fungus and mold on such a partition is unlikely.
  • Brick bulkheads are fire resistant and inedible by insects and rodents.
The disadvantages include:
  • Significant weight of the partition: with its thickness of half a brick, the mass of 1 m 2 of masonry is approximately 280 kg.
  • Long production time for partitions made from piece material.
  • The need to plaster the structure before finishing it.

The cost of 1 m 2 of brickwork is from $10 and above, the cost of work is from $7 per 1 m 2.

Installing a brick partition in a bathhouse


To construct such a partition, half-brick or brick masonry is used. Before starting work, you should stock up on: a sand sieve, a container for preparing the solution, a shovel, a hammer, a plumb line, a level and a trowel.

The installation process is carried out in the following sequence:

  1. The work site is exempt from extra items, supplied with lighting and necessary materials.
  2. The contours of the planned partition are outlined on the walls, floor and ceiling of the bathhouse.
  3. From sand and cement sifted using a sieve, a dry mixture is prepared in a ratio of 3:1, for example, 2 buckets of cement are taken for 6 buckets of sand. In the container, the resulting mixture is mixed with water until it becomes uniform and has a plastic consistency.
  4. Before starting work, the floor must be removed wood covering, and from the walls - cladding at the junctions of structures. Surfaces are cleaned with a wet broom.
  5. To lay the first row of masonry evenly, a cord is stretched along its edges, serving as a guide for the location of the bricks. The mortar of the first row is applied to the base of the partition, and the second and subsequent rows are applied to the surface of the previous row and the end part of the brick. The verticality of the masonry is controlled using a plumb line and a building level.
  6. The door frame in the partition opening is placed in advance and secured in it with the help of spacers, the brick is laid close to it.
  7. The partition is laid with ligation of the seams in the vertical direction. To achieve this effect, the second row of bricks must be started by laying half of the product.
  8. To ensure the strength of the masonry, every five rows of the mortar bed is reinforced with steel strips or rods.
  9. Above door frame As a jumper, you can install a piece of channel 30-40 cm longer than the width of the opening.
  10. The ceiling gap on the last row of masonry is eliminated by laying waste bricks soaked in mortar, small cracks are sealed with tow.
  11. To lay communications in a brick partition, it is necessary to provide for the installation of embedded sleeves. The material for them can be pieces plastic pipes length corresponding to the thickness of the partition. The voids between the sleeves and the masonry are filled with polyurethane foam.
If the brick partition located in the bathhouse needs to be plastered, you don’t have to pay attention to the masonry seams. But if she will serve natural element room design, required special tool jointing of masonry with special care.

From the outside washing department septums are usually covered tiles, protecting the brick from moisture. In the steam room, such a partition is insulated, lined with heat-reflecting foil and waterproof material followed by lining it with natural wood.

Features of a wooden partition in a bathhouse

Wooden bulkheads can be single, double or framed. For baths, due to their “extreme” operating conditions, frame-sheathing structures are more suitable.

Pros and cons of wooden partitions for a bath


The advantages of such partitions are very significant:
  • The material used to make them is environmentally friendly.
  • The possibility of making a frame partition in the bathhouse with increased strength that can withstand more than 150 kg of load.
  • Lightweight wooden partition. With a thickness of 150 mm, the weight of 1 m 2 of the structure is 90-92 kg.
  • Good sound insulation, its index reaches 41 dB.
There are also disadvantages:
  • Wooden structures are afraid of water, so they need waterproofing.
  • The material of the partitions is edible for rodents and insects; impregnation of wood with antiseptics can eliminate this problem.
  • Wooden partitions are flammable, their fire resistance is 0.2 hours. Partial protection impregnation of partition elements with fire retardant serves to protect against fire.

The cost of 1 m 2 of wooden partition ranges from $20 and above, it depends on the cladding material.

Construction of a wooden partition in a bathhouse

Let's consider the construction of a wooden partition between the steam room and the sink in the bathhouse. The step-by-step process looks like this:

  1. Assembly and fastening of the frame. This is the most labor-intensive stage of the work. For the frame, timber 50x50 mm or 50x100 mm is used, its assembly is carried out on site. Two bars for the ceiling and floor, with a length of each of them corresponding to the width of the partition, are fixed to the corresponding structures using dowels. The same should be done with the bars for the walls. They are cut to the height of the room and fixed between the floor and ceiling bars in increments of 600-120 mm. The doorway is formed using transverse bars. For rigidity, it is additionally equipped with intermediate posts on both sides.
  2. Insulation of the partition. Insulation is placed between the frame posts. The material for it can be basalt wool with a slab thickness of 50 mm and a width of 600 mm.
  3. On the insulation side of the steam room, the frame is sheathed with foil, the heat-reflecting side of which should face the inside of the room. The material is stapled to the frame posts. The seams between the panels are taped with metal tape.
  4. The insulation is covered from the washing compartment of the bathhouse waterproofing membrane type Izospan. Its fastening and sealing of seams is carried out similarly to the previous option.
  5. Partition lining. For getting ventilation gap Between the back side of the future cladding and the waterproofing layer, thin slats 15 mm wide are placed across the racks. The lining is attached to them. The same operation is performed from the side of the steam room using foil material. All wooden elements the frame must be treated with an antiseptic.
Such a wooden partition in a bathhouse can be installed in one day.

Features of a glass partition in a bath

Unlike Soviet times, today's glass partitions are a fashionable design element with a variety of decorative solutions.

Advantages and disadvantages of glass partitions


Modern glass partitions in a bathhouse can be made from glass blocks - a kind of transparent “bricks” made of glass 6-10 mm thick. Their surface can be corrugated, smooth, matte, transparent and colored.

Manufacturing glass partitions has certain advantages:

  • The partitions look impressive, are durable, strong enough, and fire resistant.
  • They have good heat and sound insulation characteristics.
  • They transmit light, for transparent blocks this value is up to 80%, for matte and colored products - up to 50%. The patterns of corrugated blocks give a bizarre play of light and shadow.
  • The material of glass partitions can withstand temperature changes from -40 to +50 degrees. In the event of a fire, a structure made of transparent blocks can contain the spread of smoke and flame for two hours.
  • Glass partitions are easy to clean and do not absorb odors; they are not afraid of rodents and insects.
Despite the outstanding advantages, there are also disadvantages of glass partitions:
  • The internal surface of the partitions excludes the laying of any communications - electrical wiring, plumbing, etc.
  • On glass wall You cannot hang shelves or pictures.
  • A separate block is not cut when installing the partition.

The cost of glass blocks depends on their type. Industrial products are the cheapest, their price is 40-60 rubles/piece. Colored blocks are more expensive - 160 rubles/piece. The most expensive are blocks with a pattern obtained by sintering glass different colors. Their price is more than 1500 rubles/piece. The cost of installing a partition is more than $20 per 1 m2.

Installation of a glass partition in a bathhouse


Installation glass partition For a beginner this is not an easy task. Used for laying glass blocks cement-sand mortars with a fine fraction of filler or “liquid” nails. There are two installation methods: adhesive cement mortar and into modular cells.

The first method is like leading brickwork, it is quite labor-intensive and time-consuming:

  1. The base is cleaned of dust, debris and dirt, and then leveled.
  2. The first row of blocks is set by level. Plastic crosses are placed between them to create seams of the same thickness.
  3. The masonry is reinforced horizontally and vertically with iron rods with a diameter of 6 mm through two blocks. It is recommended to lay no more than 3 rows per day due to the weight of the products - the damp lower seams of the masonry may shift due to the weight.
The second method works faster. Cellular grids made of plastic, MDF or wood are attached to walls, ceilings and floors. They are then filled with blocks using sealant or rubber gaskets.

How to make a partition in a bathhouse - watch the video:


The question of bath partitions is quite extensive. We hope that the information provided in the article will help you choose a material and even make a partition in the bathhouse with your own hands.

In private households, the bathhouse is the place where water treatments and treatment sessions, this room can even be used for household needs. In it you can install, for example, washing machine, which will free up space in the house. And it’s better to separate the rest room from the steam room. Therefore, in this article we will tell you how to make a partition in a bath between the steam room and the sink with your own hands. There are several ways to do this.

From wooden beams and boards

In the case when the bathhouse is built from natural wood or materials based on it, in order not to violate the general concept of construction, it is better to make wooden partitions. For these purposes you can use wooden beam and boards, 4–5 cm thick. The section of the timber should be chosen from 5x5 cm, so that the partition is not just a screen, but also has its own functional use. You can also attach a shelf to such a partition and equip it with hooks for placing basins and brooms. The process of making such a partition with your own hands is as follows:

  • First you need to make markings. On the walls and ceiling, using a plumb line and a tapping cord, mark vertical lines indicating the middle of the thickness of the partition.
  • After this, you need to mount the partition frame from timber. fasten individual elements frame to the walls and to each other, it is best to use wooden tenons, drilling holes for them with a drill with a drill of the appropriate diameter. If for some reason such a connection cannot be made, then you can use simple self-tapping screws for wood or special nails without heads. It is worth remembering that the distance between adjacent frame beams is recommended to be maintained at about 70–80 cm.
  • When the frame is ready, it can be sheathed with boards, nailing them with the same nails without heads. You can also use wooden lining for these purposes.
  • Thus, the frame is sheathed on both sides, and the result is internal partition good quality and sufficient strength. It is worth saying that to achieve better thermal insulation premises, the space between the skins can be filled with mineral wool. This will keep the heat in the steam room longer, and the dressing room will be relatively cool.

Note! Firstly, the frame beams must be treated with special antiseptic solutions, and secondly, for finishing For such a partition it is best to use boards and lining made of wood hardwood, for example, linden or aspen. Conifers contain resins, which is not very good, because when heated they can cause burns.

The above method of constructing a partition is more appropriate in wooden bath, if such work should be carried out in brick bath, then it is best to make the partition from bricks. The manufacturing process is best done in stages:

  • First you need to make markings. In this case, you need to mark the boundaries of the future wall.
  • When the markings are ready, you can begin the main work. First you need to prepare necessary materials, V in this case brick, and also prepare mortar. To do this, in a ratio of 1/3, you need to mix cement of a grade not lower than M-500 and sifted sand, diluting the mixture with water until a uniform consistency is obtained.
  • Along a pre-marked line on the floor, it is necessary to apply a layer of mortar with a trowel, the width corresponding to the width of the masonry brick. After which the first row of the partition is laid.
  • After laying the first row of masonry, it is covered on top with a new layer of mortar, on which the second row is laid.
  • All other rows of the wall must be laid in the same way. In order to lay a brick over a doorway, during the construction process a strip of metal is laid over the opening, equal in size to the width of the wall and at least 1 cm thick. The first row of bricks over the opening is laid using this strip as a support.

Note! After carrying out the work, the solution must be allowed to dry thoroughly, which will take up to a week. The result will be a fairly strong wall.

Since the steam room and the sink perform completely different missions, attention should be paid to how to make partitions in Special attention.

First of all, you need to decide on the material from which the intermediate wall will be built, be it wood, brick or foam block.

The choice of material for the partition depends on the style in which the entire bath room is made and what type of heating is used in it.

If the main material used in the construction of the bathhouse is wood, then a partition should be built from it.

To perform this work, you will need beams up to five centimeters thick, with a cross-section of at least 5x5 centimeters.

This will provide good insulation of moisture and heat, and not just a screen that blocks visibility into the neighboring one.

To make a wooden partition with your own hands, you need to follow the step-by-step instructions:

  • First of all, you need to take measurements and mark on the surface of the walls and ceiling, using straight lines, where the middle of the partition is located.
  • Then the main frame is made from the beams. Unite wooden boards in the structure, and it is better to attach them to the walls using spikes and a drill. If this is not possible, regular wood screws or nails without heads will also work. Between the bars you need to leave about eighty centimeters of free space.
  • Wooden boards are attached to the manufactured frame. For this, the same ones are used as for making the frame - self-tapping screws or nails without heads (another option is wooden lining).
  • Sheathing with boards should be done on both sides of the frame. To provide better insulation heat and moisture, you can fill the empty space of the partition with mineral wool. Thanks to it, the dressing room will be a cool room, and the steam room will retain valuable heat.

To build a partition in a bathhouse, it is better to use deciduous trees, such as aspen or linden. They need to be processed before use. by special means antiseptic action.

The most important thing in constructing a wooden partition is to assemble the frame correctly. The stability and functionality of the entire structure depends on how smooth and proportional the frame frame is.

To make the partition more stable and durable, at the very beginning of its construction you can make a small concrete threshold, reaching no more than fifteen centimeters in height and twelve centimeters in width. If you make a strong frame and reliably cover it with boards, you can attach hangers to the partition and place towels, bathrobes and others on them.

Brick partition

If you want to make a partition from brick, you can use the laying of whole material or the spoon method of placing blocks (0.5 bricks).

To prevent the wall from being too heavy, you can use hollow bricks.

However, it must be resistant to high temperatures and high humidity.

Therefore, in the construction of a bathhouse and partitions in it, it is better to use red bricks rather than silicate bricks.

How to make partitions in a bathhouse is explained in the following step-by-step instructions:

  • First, if the floor is covered with planks, they must be removed to reach the foundation. The entire surface on which work will be carried out must be cleared of unnecessary things and swept with a damp broom.
  • The room is prepared for work - good lighting is provided, working tools are prepared.
  • The contours of the partitions are outlined.
  • The solution is mixed. To do this you need to use a sieve, grinder, shovel and kneading container. The mixing ratio is 3:1 (for example, three buckets of sand and one bucket). Water should be added until the mixture reaches a creamy consistency. To avoid premature hardening of the solution, it should be stirred regularly, but no more water should be added.
  • The partition is erected using a level, a pick, a trowel, a plumb line and a rule. To make the wall even, you should stretch the string. First, two layers of mortar are applied to the floor, and then you can begin to lay out the brick. You need to start working from . To make the structure more durable and firmly connected to the main walls, during masonry you need to use strips of metal or reinforcement rods.
  • The second row should start with a half brick. And the third - from the whole, and so alternate them constantly.

In the case where a brick wall plays an integral role in maintaining the interior of the room, it should be laid out carefully, always removing excess mortar in time to prevent it from drying out. But when the wall decoration completely covers the brick base, then you don’t have to worry too much about appearance seams between rows and individual blocks.

When you plan to apply a layer of plaster to a brick partition, even used ones can be used for construction, which will significantly save money.

If the partition has doors, their frame should be installed before bricklaying begins.

Foam block partition

One of the generally accepted options for making partitions in a bath between the steam room and the sink is to lay it out of a foam block.

Advantages of using foam blocks:

  • They have much less weight than bricks.
  • Foam blocks are produced large sizes, due to which the laying of walls with their use progresses very quickly.
  • This material has a fairly low cost.

In order for the construction of a partition from foam blocks to be successful, it is advisable to take into account a few more valuable tips:

  • When purchasing foam blocks, you should pay special attention to their surface. If it is even and smooth, the finishing will go faster and will be done with better quality.
  • Calculating the size of the blocks depends entirely on the type of room in which they will be used. When constructing a partition in a bathhouse, it is better to use light and less wide blocks. In this case, the density of this material does not matter.
  • Blocks obtained by cutting are considered to be of higher quality. This manufacturing technology is now more developed and progressive.
  • To make the masonry more dense, it is better to moisten the blocks with water before starting it.
  • In order for the partition to be strong and durable, it should not have continuous vertical seams. To do this, blocks or bricks should be shifted in each new row.
  • At the top of the structure, between the last row of the foam block and, it is better to leave an opening up to ten centimeters wide. At the end of the work, it should be closed using polyurethane foam.

In many ways, the choice of material for the partition depends on the heating method in the bathhouse.

If it is a brick oven, then it must be supplemented with a wall made of the same material.

If the bathhouse is heated iron stove, then a wooden structure is also perfect.

But in this case, it must be located at a distance of more than ten centimeters from the heating center.

Even the smallest bathhouse usually has two rooms: a dressing room and a steam room combined with a washing room. But here the question arises: what kind of partition should be between them? Wooden or brick? And how to build it correctly from the point of view of heating the premises?

In this regard, we have home handyman may arise a large number of questions that we will try to answer in this article.

What you need to know about partitions in the bathhouse

Before building a partition in a bathhouse with your own hands, you should consider whole line features. In addition, for wooden and brick buildings There are different requirements.

About partitions in wooden baths

Wooden baths include those built from timber, logs, or assembled using frame-panel technology.

Advice!
Experts do not recommend installation, especially if irregular operation of the building is planned.
The fact is that with internal brick wall you will need more time to warm up the room, especially if we're talking about about the cold season.

The construction of internal walls from the same material from which the external ones were erected is possible, but there is simply no need, which is explained by several reasons:

  1. No indoor exposure atmospheric phenomena, therefore equally thick and durable partitions are of no use here.
  2. If you use a material of a smaller cross-section here, this can lead to problems at the joints.

Experts most often advise equipping internal walls using frame technology, since making a partition in a bathhouse using the frame principle is quite simple, and also economically profitable.

Frame walls have the following advantages over a traditional log house:

  1. Price.
  2. Less weight, and therefore less load on the foundation, which extends the durability of the structure.
  3. Ease of operation.

At the same time, you get warm and durable interior partitions.

We build a bath wall using frame technology

Let's look at how to make a partition in a wooden bathhouse.

There are simple instructions for this:

  1. For interior walls, we select boards about 5 cm thick and no more than 15 cm wide. Thinner boards may fail.
  2. We form a sheathing from the boards with a step equal to the width of the heat-insulating mat.
  3. We lay a heat insulator between the boards. Best to use for this mineral wool, since polystyrene foam is flammable and can emit harmful substances at elevated temperatures.
  4. We stuff a waterproofing material on top of the plank frame.
    The following materials can be used as waterproofing:
    • Regular polyethylene film. A material with a thickness of 150 to 20 microns is taken.
    • A special waterproofing material that has a foil side.
    • Penofol, which is a type of foam on which foil is applied on one side. So you create additional layer waterproofing.

Advice!
Mineral wool is afraid of water, so it is necessary to reliably protect it with a waterproofing layer.
The strips are laid overlapping, taped with construction tape.

  1. The last layer is mounted finishing material. Most often this is lining, which most closely matches the interior and microclimate of bathhouses.
  2. The stove should be installed no closer than a meter from the partitions.

Advice!
If a metal stove is used in the bathhouse, you will need a brick partition, preferably even one made of fireclay blocks.
If the metal stove will be heated directly in the steam room, then the wall can be wooden, but it should be sheathed with non-flammable materials.

Partition in a block bath

How to make partitions in a brick bath? Here experts also recommend using the same frame technology.

There are several reasons for this:

  1. Brick walls heat up more slowly, and accordingly, you will need additional expenses for heating, especially in winter.
  2. On a brick or block masonry Condensation will settle and will need to be drained somewhere.

Some professionals advise using magnesite sheets instead of boards.

They are made on the basis of perlite and cellulose fibers. They are fixed on vertical profiles, after which the installation described above is repeated.

Advice!
Such partitions can be constructed without insulation.
Here the insulating function will be performed by the air space between the boards.

It is best to use lining as a finishing for such walls.

Naturally, in a brick bathhouse you can create a brick partition. In this case, it is best to use half-brick masonry, additionally strengthening the structure with steel wire every few rows.

Advice!
Erect a brick partition in wooden house it is possible only when the final shrinkage of the log house occurs.

Conclusion
