A small bathhouse on your own plot is a dream for many, so it is especially important to learn about the most common mistakes made during construction before starting its construction.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , the most common faults are the stove, ventilation and sewerage.

There is no universal answer to the question of what kind of stove should be installed in a bathhouse. However, there are still some useful recommendations: if you buy a ready-made stove, carefully read the accompanying documentation, which contains information about the room size for which it is designed.

It would be better if you choose a firebox with a reserve and place it closer to the door.

Ventilation

A proper steam room should be equipped with three levels of ventilation.

The exhaust duct is made in the ceiling and is needed to be able to equalize the air temperature. The supply duct is located near the door in the area of the stove, and the regulating duct is not high from the floor in the wall opposite the stove.

Sewerage

Make sure that the steam room has a channel for water drainage by placing the drain traps near the door. To ensure that the water drains freely, the floor should have a slight slope.

In addition, it is worth considering installing a water supply system in the bathhouse.
