Great additions
A sauna in your home is like a mini-spa at hand, because it has long been proven that steam rooms are very beneficial for the skin and the body, because they evaporate all harmful microorganisms and cleanse the pores. A good bathroom consists of several parts.
- Steam room - a room where there is a stove, which can be electric, gas or conventional. There are also shelves (places where people can sit, lie and recline). The distance between all the listed objects should be about 1 meter. The height of the bath room should be strictly 2 meters so that the air does not erode at higher ceilings and so that it does not stagnate at low ceilings. The bath door should open strictly outward, and not inward, otherwise it can lead to a damp and uncomfortable temperature in the dressing room.
- Dressing room - this is the place where people get ready to enter the bath, that is, they undress, take coals and brooms.
- Restroom - you can put a refrigerator here and keep drinks and food. The table and chairs will also be in place, as it can be harmful to stay at high temperatures for a long time. So a noisy company can be transferred from a bathhouse to a rest room. They also often put a TV or stereo there. To save space, the dressing room and the guest room can be connected.
- Shower room - a useful room for a bath, a shower stall is placed there, the water in which is heated by the stove, unless, of course, the shower room from the steam room has an adjacent wall. A toilet can also be placed there.
- Veranda and pool - there is no need for these attributes, but their presence will add coziness and luxury to your bath complex.

The material is cheap and simple. Not recommended when planning two-story baths and steam rooms with a veranda
Foam blocks… The material is perfect for cottages, two-story baths with bedrooms, large lounges, pools and billiards. The construction of this material is resistant to high temperatures, protects from frost in winter and does not emit toxic substances when heated
