A single garage-bath complex, attached to the house is a practical and functional solution. This is a real alternative to a country guest house. It can be built in 1 or 2 floors, or have an attached attic. In this case bedrooms for guests will be located on the second floor. The construction of a garage and a bath on a common foundation will significantly reduce the financial costs of their construction.
Another important advantage of this design is a common heating system, which will turn an ordinary garage into a heated one. It is enough to have minimal design skills to create an individual project that meets the needs of the owners.
Pros and cons of building a bath with a garage
Such buildings as a sauna and a house adjoining garage are incompatible only at first glance. Competently thought-out interior layout will allow you to make a comfortable house complex. Depending on the needs and financial capabilities of the owners, this will be a heated garage with a sauna or a full-fledged guest house. In the second case, the project will include the construction of the second floor or.
The construction of both buildings on the same foundation and general communications reduce the cost of purchasing building materials.
The main advantages of this house complex:
- the ability to maximize the functionality of the site;
- convenience of storing fuel for the bath;
- combined heating system (warm garage);
- the opportunity to take a shower after dirty work in the garage;
- ease of use of both premises.
Combined communication system for both rooms makes their use more comfortable.
When designing such a complex, you must also consider the main disadvantages:
- the need for complex waterproofing;
- the difficulty with the selection of materials for construction;
- complex construction of insulation.
Also it is necessary to take into account the different technical requirements for both buildings.
Selection of materials
Particular care should be taken to the selection of materials for construction: both basic and finishing. For the garage and bath there are various technical requirements for temperature and humidity. Also, special attention should be paid to waterproofing the foundation, since the total wall and the difference in the required temperature in both rooms leads to the appearance of condensate.
To make such a complex look beautiful, it must be made in the same style. It is worth considering this when choosing materials.
Tree
The most eco-friendly material that will be the most successful option for a bath. It does not require the construction of a complex foundation, is simple to process and gives the building a special beauty. Inside the complex creates a natural microclimate that is beneficial to human health. This is especially important for the bath part of the room.
If it is not planned to build a building entirely of wood, this material should be used for exterior and interior decoration.
At the design stage, you should immediately foresee the difficulties associated with the use of this material:
- fire hazard (wood is a combustible material, which is especially dangerous in the case of the combined construction of a sauna and a house);
- the need for constant care for the wooden structure (you need to regularly handle antifungal, water-repellent and insecticidal impregnation).
Wood is an environmentally friendly material. When building a bath, it is the most popular option.
But with proper care, such a building would be the most acceptable option.
Gas silicate blocks
Gas silicate blocks are categorized as simple and reliable materials. Their use will significantly reduce the cost of construction. Besides, well keeps heat indoors. It is possible to use the combined option in which only the garage part will be made of gas silicate blocks. In this case it is recommended to build a bath from wood.
A significant disadvantage of the construction of gas blocks is the need for exterior decoration and increased requirements for waterproofing.
Brick
Classic material for the construction of such structures, with high strength and heat capacity. Perfect for building adjoining buildings. He He provides fire safety, does not require constant care. At the same time, the brick belongs to heavy materials, due to which it is necessary to pour a solid foundation.
Foam blocks
Like aerated concrete, foam blocks are inexpensive and at the same time durable budget materials. Unlike bricks, they are lightweight. This will allow you to do without pre-casting a complex foundation. This material retains heat well and has fire resistance. Read more about the construction of a foam block bathhouse.
The building of foam blocks quickly absorbs moisture, because of what it takes to take care of high-quality waterproofing. This should be considered when choosing finishing materials.
Frame construction
Frame construction of solid timber refers to the prefabricated buildings. It can be arranged on a simple strip or column foundation. Such a structure does not shrink. Most materials are suitable as external and internal finishes: lining, plastering, use of thermopanels or facing bricks.
Construction planning
When planning the interior of the building it is not necessary to use the finished project. An independently prepared plan of the bath-and-garage complex will allow to take into account all the individual features. When drafting a project, it is important to consider the following nuances:
- the wall between the two parts of the complex should have reliable waterproofing and heat insulation;
- for greater reliability, it is recommended to arrange 2 walls between the buildings, and between them it is worthwhile to foresee a small storm ditch.
The design process itself consists of the following stages:
- Drawing up a detailed plan. If the experience is not enough, you may want to use the already finished project and drawings.
- Selection of materials, including finishing.
- The choice of the type of foundation. Read more about the types of foundations and how to build them.
- Selection of the type of roof system and material for the roof.
Also at this stage it is necessary to determine the size of the building, the internal layout and the number of floors.
Stages of construction
The construction of the garage-bath complex begins with the preparatory work. At this stage, the budgeting and the purchase of necessary building materials. If we are not talking about building from scratch, but about rebuilding an existing garage, the first step will be to prepare the existing premises. After that, proceed to earthworks and the construction of the foundation.
Foundation
The depth of laying the foundation depends on the climatic conditions and materials used for construction. Depending on this, these types of foundations can be used:
- pile-tape;
- tape
- columnar.
The depth of the foundation for such a structure is at least 70 centimeters. Also, to improve the waterproofing foundation needs to be processed.
When laying the foundation, such moments as the type of soil and the depth of groundwater are always taken into account.
Walls and floor
The walls of the bath complex can be made of rounded logs or an array of timber. In this case, it is recommended to erect the structure directly on the foundation. If construction is planned from logs, such a log building is going near the place of construction. After that, it carefully set on the foundation.
The most difficult option would be a combination of a bathhouse made of wood and a garage of foam blocks or aerated concrete blocks. In this case, it will be necessary to erect two adjacent walls, between which there will be a rain groove.
There are 3 main options for flooring:
- flowing construction of wood (serves as an element of sewage);
- not flowing construction of wood;
- concrete with an external covering.
Wood coating should be regularly processed and updated every 6-8 years.
For a bath all three options are acceptable. But for the garage floor should be only concrete.
Important: Concrete floor is more durable and does not require complex maintenance. He will serve 40 - 50 years.
Roof
When designing the roof, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of cleaning from snow and rainwater. The next step will be the installation of the truss system. After that, the installation of the roof. For a garage-bath complex, the material for it can be:
- slate;
- metal tile.
Soft roofing materials, such as ondulin, can also be used for this. Read more about roof types and roofing materials.
Ventilation and waterproofing
Particular attention should be paid to the arrangement of ventilation systems and waterproofing in the bath-garage complex. For this, it is recommended to use the following types of ventilation:
- natural (provided by the difference in air temperature inside them outside the room);
- mechanical (the fresh air and its temperature are monitored by the instruments);
- forced (pressure is artificially created using a fan).
In the bath can be applied all of the above options. But for the complex combined with the garage, it is possible to use only mechanical or forced ventilation.
The use of a ventilated floor will help improve the microclimate in the bath part of the complex.
When installing waterproofing, you need to take into account such factors as high humidity in the bath in combination with extreme temperature changes. It is important to think out the water drainage system from the bath as well as possible.
Plumbing and electricity
Since the bath-and-garage complex is being built on a plot where there is already a house, it is possible to create a common communications system. It includes:
- electricity supply (it is best to carry out with an underground cable, enclosed in a metal pipe);
- supply of cold water (for its heating it is recommended to use an electric boiler).
Power supply scheme
In the bath part of the complex, you also need a sewage system.
Power supply installation in the bath-garage complex should be carried out only by a qualified electrician.
Garage arrangement
The garage is not only a reliable car shelter from the weather. It contains all kinds of tools, parts and accessories. Depending on the available space, it is possible to arrange a mini-workshop or even a full-fledged inspection pit for the car. Read more about the construction of the garage.
The garage room should be warm and dry, since the car should not freeze even in the most severe frost. It is necessary to take care of high-quality insulation.
Arrangement of the internal space of the garage consists of the following stages:
- Installation of shelves and shelves.
- Construction of a viewing pit;
- Installation of communications (lighting, plumbing, ventilation).
It is also worth installing a working workbench. The result is a thoughtful and functional space for car maintenance.

Conclusion
The combination of bath and garage will help to make both buildings more functional and save space on the site. Located under the same roof, such a complex, if desired, can turn into a full house for guests. An additional plus will be the general communications, which is why the garage will turn into a heated one. For more examples of planning and construction of a two-storey bath for giving, see.
If the size of the site does not allow to build a bath separately with the allocation of a special functional area and a set of communications, it is possible to build a single building under a common roof. The correct project of such construction will allow you to create a comfortable complex, the use of which will be beneficial even from an economic point of view.
Construction of a bath under the same roof with a house can be:
- designed in advance;
- produced as an extension to the wall.
Recently, the second option is the most common. For its implementation, a trench is being dug out, and a monolithic strip foundation is being laid. External walls are constructed of the same material as the house (but there are also options for joining a beam with a brick, frame technologies, etc.). The wooden bath is also outside sheathed with a layer of insulation and siding.
If the bath is part of a residential building, it is important to foresee and consider the following communications before designing:
- ventilation system (high humidity can destroy the supporting structure);
- waterproofing to protect building materials from moisture from both the outside and inside the bath;
- combination with a bathroom with autonomous or centralized sewage (cost-effective);
- general wiring.
It is desirable to make a kitchen wall by a adjacent wall (installation of a single stove is possible). Also popular are the options for combining a sauna and a residential building with a covered walkway. This option allows in the winter time to comfortably visit the bath, without going outside, as well as on the condition of sufficient space and installation of the heating system, it is easy to install a hot tub or pool in the transition.
Nuances
The combination of a house with a bath can be divided into three degrees:
- at the planning stage, when the bath complex is located on the ground floor and is combined with a single roof of the house;
- full extension of the log house, when the roof extends and closes the bath complex;
- the use of a common wall, when facilitated docking of buildings and there is a smooth transition from home to the bath.
It is important to take into account the location of the exit from the bath, as in winter a separate entrance can bring inconvenience, which is usually corrected with the help of covered glazed verandas. Such a project is characterized by greater complexity and higher costs, given the need to install high-quality double-glazed windows, wall insulation, laying a non-slip coating on the floor and heating the room.

Foundation
During the construction of a full-fledged bath complex, combined with a residential house, special attention is paid to the foundation. Foundation features depend on the wall material and the planned load. The foundation must be solid and built separately from the foundation of the house. The fact is that high humidity can lead to the appearance of cracks and the separation of the foundation from the general structure.
The depth and thickness of the foundation is compiled depending on the height of the future bath and the materials used, but experienced builders recommend laying the foundation below the ground freezing point to eliminate any movement and deformation when changing seasons of the year and the concomitant heaving of the soil.
The scheme - the principle of joining the main house and an extension 
Variants of adjoining the bases of the extension according to the scheme of an unclosed (a, b, c, d) and closed (e) contours: 1 - an existing house; 2 - extension
When planning it is important to ensure the withdrawal of sewage. For this, 2 pipes are removed for the removal of separate houses and baths. If there is no main sewage system, then a separate cesspool will have to be made for the bath. If there is a water supply system, then it is also better to use a separate pipe for the future bath.
For a one-story wooden house combined with a small bath, a strip foundation with a depth of up to 0.5 meters and a width of up to 30 cm is suitable. For a brick or block house, you will need to create a full-fledged foundation, installed according to the rules, which can bear a heavy load.
A universal solution is the construction of a monolithic strip foundation, the schemes of which are presented below.
Attention! It is better to carry out foundation casting work in the warm season, since the ready foundation must be thoroughly dried and allowed to stand 21 days before construction continues. In winter, the best option for the device base under the bath are screw piles. For a bath with sizes from 4x4 to 6x6, 4-9 stainless steel piles with a diameter of 108 mm and a wall thickness of 4-5 mm are needed.
Instructions for the construction of the foundation
Notes:
- the number in parentheses indicates the material of the cushion: 1 - medium sand, 2 - coarse sand, 3 - sand mixture (40%) with rubble (60%);
- above the line of value for the walls of insulated wooden panels, below the line - for log and log walls.
The location of the future bath is determined, along the perimeter of which pegs are driven in. On these pegs used as a guideline, the construction string is stretched exactly.
Further, the width of the foundation is laid, a snatch is installed and the second line of the string is stretched. Mandatory verification of the basement diagonals and the accuracy of all right angles. For measurements it is convenient to use a range finder and a laser level, as well as a plumb for installing stakes and casting.
A trench is dug along the perimeter of the walls (in accordance with the marking). The walls should be smooth. If the ground is sandy, it is advisable to install temporary formwork that will prevent shedding from the walls to the bottom.
We must not forget about the trench for communications - the drainage system. If central sewage is foreseen, the trench is led to the nearest sidebar into the pipe. If there is no central sewage system, then a trench is led to a drain pit, separate from the house.
In the trench under the communications, the pipe is mounted with a slight bias and covered with sand and soil. The trench under the foundation of the bath is filled for 2/3 with rubble and coarse sand. This backfill is moistened with water and compacted.
In the received trenches the mounting of the formwork, which is being knocked off from boards of the same length, is carried out. In this case, the level of the foundation must be 20 cm above the ground. The inner walls of the formwork should be laid with a film or roofing felt. In the foundation you should definitely provide for and install the ventilation pipes - airways.
The trench is laid related reinforcing rods. The frame is secured with plastic retainers (the frame should be 5 cm from the formwork walls and the bottom of the trench, 5-10 cm from the top point of the concrete pouring).
but. - mesh with two rods of working reinforcement; b. - mesh with three rods of working reinforcement; at. - T-shaped joint; - L-shaped corner joint; D. - additional reinforcement MZLF with a large width of the sole, when the sole is wider than the base of more than 60 cm (additional mesh is located only in the lower part.
1 - working valves (A-III); 2 - auxiliary reinforcing wire ∅ 4-5 mm (BP-I); 3 - bars of vertical reinforcement ∅ 10 mm (A-III) connecting the upper and lower grids; 4 - reinforcement for strengthening the angle ∅ 10 mm (A-III); 5 - connection by wire twists (length of twist is not less than 30 diameters of the working reinforcement); 6 - additional working reinforcement ∅ 10 mm (A-III)
Concrete is being poured. The concrete mix is leveled, and after drying (during this period, it is recommended to cover the tape with a film and periodically moisten with water from a watering can) is supplemented with waterproofing (bitumen mastic or roofing felt).
Attention! When building an extension bath, it is important to remove the soil near the foundation of the house near the adjacent wall in order to lay a new foundation on the same level.

Features of the construction of walls and windows
When building a bath of logs and timber it is important to remember about shrinkage, which lasts several years in a row. If it is decided to use brick or blocks for construction, remember the need for perfectly vertical walls, as well as the observance of masonry rules.
If the bath is being built as an extension, then it is important to accurately align the walls and ensure a reliable bundle. To do this, holes are drilled in the wall of the house for the bars of the reinforcement, which are driven in so that their opposite end is fixed in the future to the wall of the future bath.
As for the windows, today metal-plastic constructions are very popular. They are practical, easy installation, minimal maintenance and long service life. When working with such windows it is important to follow two basic rules:
- each window must be equipped with a window opening;
- structures should not be very large and have jumpers.
Ignoring these rules will lead to the fact that in winter it will be very difficult to ventilate the room.

Instructions for the construction of the walls of the bath of logs
When building a log bath, it is important to know the nuances of laying logs so that the structure lasts as long as possible, and its design does not break.
The first crown is laid out from the thickest types of logs. It is important to treat the lower part of the crown with an antiseptic, and the upper with mastic, which is responsible for the waterproofing of the building.
The corners are made "in the bowl", that is, the ends of the logs necessarily go beyond the limits of future walls. This design will protect against moisture and blowing. Most effectively looks laying "dovetail", which requires a lot of effort and experience. For its construction is better to turn to an experienced carpenter.
Marking and cutting logs "in the bowl"
The easiest way of laying is the connection in the “end dowel”:
Corner cuts simplified design "in the end of the groove"
A spike is made from the end of the log, and a groove is cut in the side of the other log.
The same grooves are made from the bottom of all logs, which guarantees an even and reliable installation.
Logs are connected with each other with the help of dowels and dowels.
Video - Wall construction using dowels
For the construction of high-quality bath walls used timber with a cross section of 15 × 15 or 15 × 18. The above method contributes to the smooth installation with reliable fastening of logs. At the same time in the corners and in the central part of the timber can be installed metal or thick wooden pins for the greatest structural strength.
SAMSUNG DIGITAL CAMERA 
Between each crown should be laid an additional layer of insulation in the form of flax or jute, which is cut into strips, laid between the logs and nailed with a stapler. Experts recommend the use of jute, because it is practically not pressed after installing the walls and shrinkage of the bath. For a larger aesthetic appearance, jute rope is used, which reliably covers the joints.
The nuances of the construction of the roof
With the combined construction of the roof should have a one-piece construction. Its separation can lead to a rapid violation of the integrity of the building. It is better to use a 2- or 4-pitched roof, since it is characterized by a large area and high stability, capable of withstanding such a complex structure. Before proceeding to the construction of the roof, it is important to determine whether the installation of an attic or an attic is required, since this part of the house should be built immediately.
Shed roof extension example
What is important to remember when building a common roof:
- it is important to accurately calculate the height of the roof of the bath and residential building;
- it is necessary to make two chimneys - separately for the house and the future bath;
- immediately hung system ebb and reliable holders of snow.
When erecting a bath as an extension, the roof can be single or dual. When arranging a single-ply structure, the highest, exactly the roof of the bath should be adjacent to the wall of the house and go under the main roof. Ceiling ceilings for structural reinforcement should be erected from a 10 × 10 cm timber or board laid on an edge with the same width. Then, from below and above the beams, the lathing is mounted, on which heat and vapor insulation is applied. Rafters of the roof should be mounted so that the angle of the roof was 20%. Then the roofing material is laid, and the remaining gaps and gaps are filled up with the help of construction foam.
The material for the roof can be anything, depending on the wishes of the owners. However, it is economically advantageous to use a metal tile or a galvanized profile. These materials require the creation of a simple frame with wooden logs. Bituminous or ondulin roofs will require not only professional installation, but also the creation of a special surface. But outwardly, they look more respectable and impressive.
Step by step instructions erection of the roof for a bath
Consider the option of building a gable roof for a bath-extension. The roof of the bath will be docked with the main gable roof of the house, in the end you get a single design of the house-bath.
| Stage | Illustration | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mauerlat | For a start on the walls of the house fit the mauerlat. In the case of the construction of the log house, the last log or wall beam is used as a mauerlat. For block and brick walls, the mauerlat is made of concrete, which is poured into the formwork with mandatory reinforcement. If a wooden mauerlat is laid on a brick structure, roll insulation must be laid between the wall and the beam, and the beam itself is fixed with anchors. | |
| Overlap | Ceiling beams are laid on the mauerlat, for example, from a board with a section of 10x5 cm (set by the end) or a bar of 10x10 cm. It is convenient to mount with perforated corners and galvanized self-tapping screws (8 screws each). Beam step choose 60 cm. | |
| Frontal filing | The ends of the ceiling beams should protrude beyond the Mauerlat. The ends trim the level, then they attach the sheathing board. Please note that the bath roof under construction protrudes above the extension wall at the same distance as the existing roof of the house. | |
| Draft flooring | Before installing the rafters it is necessary to fix the boards on the floor beams. It is possible to use both a cut, and not cut board, and also OSB. Fastening can be made with small gaps. | |
| Markup | We attach two boards 150 cm wide to the gable of the existing roof. This will be the first truss truss, on which it is convenient to mark the rest of the rafters. From the point of intersection of nailed boards measure the distance to the overlap. Put a mark - this point will be the middle of the roof. We measure the distance to the right and left canopies (the ends of the floor beams with a hemmed board) from the intended center point, for example, it will be 1.5 m. On the opposite side of the roof we mark the center point, measuring the same meter and a half. | |
| Installation of support beams for rafters | At the marked point, we fix a vertical beam with a section of 150x50 cm, we reinforce it with laths. Fasten the transverse timber from the point of connection of the boards of the first truss truss to the vertically installed beam (we cut the vertical beam along the length as necessary). The horizontal board will serve as a support for the rafters. |
|
| Assembling the rafters | Calculate the angle of the roof, the length of the rafters, cut the first rafter, try it on the spot. The rest of the rafters are cut from the board 150x50 cm. In the upper point forming the ridge, the rafters are joined by long nails 200 mm, we use perforated fasteners. Bottom mount is similar. | |
| Trimming | The protruding corners of the ceiling beams further cut off with a saw. | |
| Structural reinforcement | We strengthen rafters with horizontal lintels for greater structural stability. The corners of the base of the roof are reinforced with vertical supports from a bar of a small section. | |
| On the installed rafters fasten hydrovapor barrier. We target the material with a stapler. | ||
| Crate | On the vapor barrier fasten the battens and counter-grill boards to create a ventilated roof. We make overhangs, cutting off the excess protruding boards crates. | |
| We sew the gables with the "inch" board, for this purpose we fasten vertical bars to the outer rafters, after which we fix the boards with self-tapping screws horizontally. | ||
| Installation of roofing material | We finish the work by mounting the metal tile or professional sheet, ridge, if necessary, install snow guards and wind slats. |
Arrangement of the bath floor and interior decoration
When building a bath, it is important to pay special attention to the arrangement of the floor. It is important to remember that this room will be constantly exposed to moisture. Therefore, the most convenient and cost-effective option is a concrete floor in the form of pouring screed with a slight inclination to the drain pipe. For additional and reliable floor warming, expanded clay or penoplex is used.
Video - Paul in the bath
The drain pipe, as a rule, is located in the central part of the room, and has a connection to the cesspool. When sandy soil such a pit can be located directly under the bath with dimensions of 60x60x60 cm. But if the soil is clay, the water will be absorbed poorly, and accordingly, it is better to draw a conclusion away from the bath.
Video - Sewer device in the bath with their own hands
At the same stage, the installation of the drain ladder. After drying the screed, you can begin to finish the floor. It is recommended to use ceramic tiles with a relief non-slip surface. We must not forget about the thorough waterproofing of those places where the floor connects to the walls of the future bath. For this, a shielding method using bitumen or the laying of any waterproofing material can be used.
Video - Drain ladder in the bath
Walls and ceilings in the bath, as a rule, are sheathed with wooden clapboard. In many modern bath complexes, the owners prefer to replace wood trim with ceramic tiles. It is no less aesthetic appearance, as well as strength and durability. At the stage of finishing works it is already possible to arrange the premises: installation of equipment for the bath, conducting electrical wiring and furniture.
- The right choice of material. This is due to the fact that the purpose of the premises is radically different. So, in the bath inevitable significant temperature drops, high humidity. It is not by chance that typical house designs provide for an interior consisting mainly of wood and equipped with good waterproofing. The use of materials emitting toxic substances during combustion is unacceptable. Projects of houses with a sauna and a garage are often viewed as a garage not only as a place for cars, but also as a storeroom or workshop. The more reliable and easier to clean the materials used here, the better.
- Proper layout. Smells and sounds of the garage room, moisture and high temperature from the bath should not fall into the living rooms - this is what is important to consider when choosing a building layout. As a rule, projects of houses and cottages have a sauna on the first floor, and housing - on the second. At the same time it can be placed near the garage, it is more convenient to store fuel and wash in the shower after fussing with the car.
- Proper waterproofing and insulation. This factor is important not only for the bath complex, but also for the garage room. If the projects of houses with a garage and a bath include high-quality waterproofing, it will protect the foundation from destruction. Thermal insulation is important for the walls between the bath and other rooms, its lack can lead to a divergence of the wall joint.
Advantages of houses with sauna and garage
- To get to the car, you do not need to go out, because you can go out to the garage directly from the house. Shopping bags are easier to carry in living rooms. This also applies to the bathhouse, where you can go straight from the house to the towel and return to the bedroom without steaming in the cold.
- The car is in optimal conditions for it.
- Individual design of houses allows you to create buildings with a garage, designed for several cars. At the same time you can save, as the bath and the room for the car are not independent buildings, and belong to a single building. Projects of houses with a sauna and a garage make it possible to save on the construction of the roof, the organization of engineering communications, and the construction of walls.
Typical or individual documentation to choose?
If in doubt, give preference to ready-made documentation or order it individually, you should know some subtleties. So, projects of houses with a garage and a bath, created personally for you, cost more. However, in them every detail takes into account your needs and inclinations, in such a house you will always feel as comfortable as possible.
However, if you are considering ready-made projects of houses with a sauna and a garage, this does not mean at all that such a dwelling will be uncomfortable. Good today you can find a huge number of such proposals. Therefore, choose the one that suits you completely, is not difficult. Moreover, for a small surcharge in the finished documentation, you can make some changes that will make the future home more acceptable to you. The main thing is that these changes do not concern the supporting structures and other key elements of the building.
With his own hands, the owner of the cottage has already ennobleed the garden, built a house. Now it's time to think about building a bath.
Assessing the territory of the property, it becomes clear that performing a separate building for this will not work without disturbing the landscape or there simply is not enough free space. Therefore it is necessary to use various engineering tricks. The projects of garages with a bath developed by specialists will help in this.
Features of combination of garage and bath
In any construction, whether it is a residential house (see), a summer kitchen or a sauna with a garage, the project is necessary for solving some important tasks:
- Have an accurate idea of what the future design will look like.
- Accurately calculate the required number of materials, and during construction to control their consumption.
- In the absence of the project owners in the future will have to experience difficulties with registration of real estate in the event of the sale of the site.
Tip: Project documentation should be prepared by the time an application for a construction permit is submitted.
Some owners are hesitant to consider projects bath with a garage.
This is due to the fact that in case of violation of sanitary standards during construction in the room adjacent to the bath house, the following may appear:
- Dampness (see).
- Mold on the walls.
- Air stagnation.
- Unpleasant odors.
Despite this combination of two buildings has several advantages.
These include:
- Saving space of the local area.
- Ease of use in both rooms.
- There is a possibility of association.
- Simplified fuel delivery to the furnace for heating the bath.
The purpose of the facilities combined under one roof is completely different, therefore the requirements that are imposed on them are different, which has to be taken into account at the initial design stage.
These include:
- Garage - dry room, excluding the presence of high humidity. The bath, on the contrary, is wet and must withstand high temperatures. Therefore, the presence of a common wall between them is not desirable because of the possible formation of condensate. This means that the planning of the future structure must be carried out in such a way that these are two different structures under the same roof. To do this, you can use one of two ways:
- to equip a room that will be a dressing room and a waiting room with two doors, one leading to the bathhouse, the other to the garage;
- equip each room with a separate entrance.
- Thoroughly thought out and conscientiously executed for the device bath system of waterproofing and drainage.
- The presence of high-quality insulation. This is necessary both for the premises of the garage and for the bath.
- Proper organization of the drainage system. It is necessary for the whole structure.
Step-by-step project development plan for a sauna with a garage
Work on the preparation of the plan can be done both with the help of specialists and himself, with minimal design skills. The second option will help save money and time to develop the project, and money to spend on the purchase of building materials. In order to have a more complete picture of the sequence of work, you can consider ready-made projects of the garage with a bath.
For self-drafting of the project must comply with the proposed instructions:
- A sketch or drawing of the building plan is being developed taking into account the size of the car and the required size of the floor space for the bath, including:
- shower;
- sauna;
- vestibule;
- bathroom;
- rest room.
Their dimensions, as a rule, are chosen individually for each owner of the future structure. On the projects presented below are given approximate plans for the placement of the garage and bath.
- Determined from which material will be built walls. For the bath the most suitable option is wood, but it is not recommended to build a garage out of it. Some nuances in the construction of wooden buildings:
- wood can quickly ignite, so before starting construction, all wooden elements must be treated with special compounds that protect them from burning;
- the inside of the room is quickly covered with dust and soot from exhaust gases, which spoils its appearance;
- a relatively small mass of the walls of such structures allows the construction of the foundation tape type.
When building a brick structure, the structure acquires:
- greater reliability;
- practicality;
- the possibility of building structures of any shape and size;
- durability, service life more than 150 years;
- high fire safety;
- use of facing bricks does not require exterior finish.
During construction, it will be necessary to take into account and eliminate the drawbacks of building a brick bath. These include:
- high cost of the building;
- high heat capacity of the material, which requires the creation of additional thermal insulation;
- a more powerful foundation is required, which will increase the cost of construction;
- bricks under the influence of moisture tend to quickly melt and then collapse, which is associated with low vapor conductivity. To correct this drawback allows the device quality ventilation and vapor barrier.
Tip: When choosing a building material for the construction of combined baths and garages, it is necessary to find a compromise solution.
- The type of future foundation is selected. The most common type - tape (see). Is he:
- lasting;
- has a fairly simple manufacturing technology;
- economical;
- gives you the opportunity to make or inspection pit.
Another version of the bearing support - column foundation. Features:
- piles of different lengths allow the garage to be located on uneven ground areas;
- for its construction does not take much time - the concrete does not stand in a month.
- The rafter system is selected, it is preferable to stay on the gable roof. Roof covering is selected depending on the taste of the owners. It may be:
- slate;
- ondulin;
- metal tile;
- soft roof.
- It is thought over how the floor in the garage and sauna will be arranged. You need to know that the floor in the bath can be poured with concrete only in the shower and steam room, in the rest of the rooms the flooring must be wooden. In the garage floors can be done in several ways:
- to concrete, preferably on insulation;
- to lay out paving slabs or tiles from porcelain stoneware.
- The place to be located in the sauna is chosen, which is the main subject and therefore, where and how to locate it, is one of the main tasks. Projects of baths with a garage should consider the following requirements:
- the furnace can be large in size and weight, so there is a need to create a foundation for it;
- openings for ventilation and air flow in the steam room must be located next to the stove;
- during operation of the furnace emit harmful combustion products. Therefore, it is necessary to consider a method of their removal from the premises;
- high temperature resistant materials are used for the wall next to the stove;
- the place where the furnace is connected to the exhaust pipe, is collapsible;
- the warming of that part of the chimney that goes outside is provided.
Tip: The thickness of the insulation should be at least five centimeters.
How to install the oven correctly can be seen in the photo:
- The required amount of materials for finishing the bath inside is selected and calculated. For safe, long-term conservation and efficient use of heat in the room, materials must meet the following requirements:
- environmental friendliness. At high temperatures, toxic substances should not be released in the steam room;
- to withstand high temperatures and humidity drops in the room, do not deform or crack.
- larch;
- aspen;
- linden tree.
- oak or walnut. These materials accumulate and retain heat well. It will be hard to breathe indoors, and if you touch the surface of the tree, you can get burned;
- pine or spruce. Heats up strongly and sticks to the body, a large amount of resin is released.
It is best to use larch. However, its price is very high, so it’s not worth doing the finishing of the whole bath room. It is enough to make a bench out of it.
For the rest room, you can use the clapboard of pine. It has a pleasant aroma and emits flavonoids that are not harmful to the human body.
Tip: Additional funds must be allocated for the purchase of funds required to protect against the decay of the interior of the wood.
- Calculate the required amount of waterproofing materials and insulation for a bath. This includes:
- rolled mineral insulation;
- wooden crate;
- vapor barrier film;
- aluminium foil.
When developing projects when combining a garage with a bath, you need to take into account the amount of materials for insulation and waterproofing of the inner wall of the garage, which is common to the bath. You can learn how to perform the bath warming by watching the video.
Combining the garage with a bath under the same roof, the owners act very rationally, but to realize such an idea is rather difficult. Carrying out the work requires a set of specific knowledge and certain skills, as well as careful development of the project and the choice of its optimal variant, taking into account all the materials necessary for construction.
For people living in a private household, the question of proper organization of the territory is very important. The fact is that it is not always possible to freely arrange all outbuildings, and therefore it is necessary to resort to a variety of engineering tricks. As one example of such solutions, we can consider the possibility of building a garage with a sauna under one roof, which can be installed in order to save space. Some features of the above process will be discussed further.
Features
Immediately it should be noted that the issue of building a garage combined with a sauna will have its own characteristics, which should certainly be taken into account. The main problems lie in the very functional purpose of the premises. The bottom line is that the requirements for buildings will be completely different. So, for the garage it is important to maintain optimal conditions of moisture and the resistance of materials to mechanical loads, and in the bath a large role will be played by the insulation of the room and the use of environmentally friendly materials.
The problem of combining these two buildings lies mainly in the fact that they are so different. This applies not only to finishing materials, but also the materials of manufacture of the buildings themselves. For the bath the best choice would be wood, distinguished by its naturalness, and for the garage it is better to use brick or silicate blocks, which are characterized by strength and durability. The combination of these two rooms is difficult precisely because of the difference in the materials used.
It should not be forgotten that the bath is characterized by extremely high temperatures, especially for a steam room, and in the garage is often relatively cool, so making a common wall between two buildings is highly undesirable, since this will inevitably lead to the formation of condensate.
Rules of work
Taking into account the above-mentioned features, it is necessary to highlight the general rules of construction work.
- One of the most important stages of work is the layout of the future premises. In the case of combining bath and garage, this is especially important. As mentioned above, it is not recommended to combine these two buildings directly. Here you can go in several ways - to equip a common room for both buildings, which will serve as a dressing room and dressing room, and have two doors leading to the garage and to the bath, respectively. And you can make a separate entrance for each of the elements of the building. One way or another, but in fact it will be two separate buildings located side by side and united by a common roof.
- When building a garage with a bath, it is necessary to pay special attention to the issues of waterproofing. For the bath is characterized by high humidity, and for the premises of the garage, it is extremely undesirable. Therefore, the waterproofing system and the drainage of water from the bath should be the most thought out and quality manufactured.
- One more moment to which it is worth paying attention is warming of rooms. Here, everything is relatively clear, since the garage room and the bath room also need quality insulation.
- With regard to the organization of the drainage system, it is also important for both premises.
Advantages and disadvantages
Before you build a bath with a garage, you must determine all the positive and negative aspects of such an engineering solution.
- Saving outhouse.
- Ease of use of the premises.
- The possibility of combining the heating system.
- Convenience of delivery of fuel for the furnace of a bath.
As for the shortcomings of the technological solution, here we can mention the need for enhanced waterproofing, insulation and inconvenience in terms of the choice of materials used.
Sample project
For the most complete understanding of the issue, it is necessary to consider an exemplary project of a bath combined with a garage under one roof. As in most cases, the work can be carried out both with their own hands, and with the help of hired workers. The first option will save money that can be directed to the purchase of higher quality materials.
- First you need to make a floor plan. For convenience of description, it is possible to consider the option when a 6 × 4 m garage is combined and a bath of the same size, which will fully meet the necessary overall requirements. It is possible to arrange the buildings both at an angle to each other and adjacent.
- Next, you need to decide on the material used for the construction of premises. As an optimal solution, you can select a wooden beam. To achieve good performance, the material must be treated with special antiseptic compounds.
- As for the choice of the type of foundation used, then the tape variant is suitable. It has sufficient strength, is relatively simple to manufacture, economical and allows you to make a viewing pit or basement in the garage, which is important. Alternatively, a columnar version of the manufacturing support bearing can be considered.
- The question of choosing the type of truss system must be addressed on the basis of the location of the premises and personal considerations regarding aesthetics, although from the point of view of rationality, you can do with a simple gable roof equipment. As for the choice of roofing material, here you can also choose according to personal preferences. One of the most universal options is metal roofing materials. You should not exclude also a soft roof like ondulin.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that the idea of combining a garage with a bath under one roof is quite rational and appropriate, but its practical implementation, especially with independent work, will require considerable knowledge and skills, as well as careful preparation. Otherwise, the option is quite well fit into any private household.
