Currently, the execution of baths in the form of a Finnish sauna or classic Russian steam room is currently more popular. The main distinguishing attribute of such structures is the furnace that creates a certain temperature regime and the therapeutic atmosphere inside the room. The Finnish sauna is distinguished by a dry microclimate (70-90 °) characteristic of it, while the Russian bath is characterized by a wet microclimate (40-60 °). As for the differences in the structures, the process of healing in the Finnish sauna occurs in several rooms, while in Russian – in one.
In view of the fact that the design of the baths is small, it can be erected using bricks or slag blocks. But the most suitable material in this case will be a tree that appreciates not only as excellent building materials, but also a therapeutic agent. This is especially manifested if the bath is built using coniferous breeds. It should be noted that the use of wood during construction greatly simplifies work, as a result of which summer cottages can be built independently. Also an important nuance that must be taken into account is that it is extremely undesirable to use in the construction of birch, as the main building materials, since it is necessary for her to rot with excess moisture.
For construction materials, it is recommended to use natural materials. In the absence of such an opportunity due to a number of reasons, including financial, then the choice of building materials should be carried out on the basis of the field of its use. The design of the bath can be executed in the form of a separate house or, as an extension. Typically, baths in the form of separated structures need a more serious attitude, while the extensions are simple in circulation – they can be built from available materials.
