Until recently, a do-it-yourself sauna in an apartment was an impossible dream. Now, despite the hassle of obtaining permits, this idea is no longer unrealistic. Moreover, the arrangement of a sauna in multi-storey building is permissible, and the design is regulated by regulatory documents:

“Architectural and planning solutions for multi-apartment residential buildings” (SP 31 - 107 - 2004)
“Residential multi-apartment buildings” (SNiP 31 – 01 – 2003).

Designing saunas for use in an apartment building involves implementing a number of recommendations based on the provisions of these documents:

For heating, only a special factory-made oven is allowed, with automatic shutdown at 130⁰ and after 8 hours of continuous operation;
It is necessary to install a deluge for spraying water or a perforated pipe with a connection outside the sauna to the internal water supply system;
Steam room area – within 8 – 24 m ² ;
Wood is used only with special impregnation, which resists rotting and fire.

Who should I coordinate with?

The design of a home sauna in an apartment, depending on the country and region, must be agreed upon with certain institutions and organizations:

State Fire Service;
Housing Inspection;
Sanitary and Epidemiological Service;
Office of Rospotrebnadzor;
Inspectorate of the State Architectural and Construction Supervision.

It is best to further clarify the list of institutions and services for approval in the region of residence and installation of the sauna.

Choosing equipment for a home sauna

Sauna options

Before you start arranging a bathhouse in a city apartment, you should also collect information about the types and types of saunas, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as the methods of their installation and construction. There are three options to get a sauna at home:

Purchase a panel or prefabricated sauna;
Order the design in accordance with the conditions “on site”;
Make your own sauna.

Prefabricated (ready) saunas

Ready-made or prefabricated saunas are produced in several types. For those who have the skills repair work and handling ordinary tools, it is not difficult to assemble the kit yourself. Self-tapping screws are provided for fastening the shields. And you just need to follow the attached instructions with photographs. In addition, if you move, prefabricated panel structures can be taken with you or transported to the dacha. The disadvantages include the paucity of variety of modifications and configurations, which, moreover, rarely coincide with the nuances of the apartment.

The best prefabricated saunas deservedly include products from the Swedish manufacturer Tylo and the Finnish supplier Harvia. Such structures, consisting of modules (80 cm wide), are mounted without a floor on a steel frame. Losses usable space cannot be avoided if the area for the sauna is not a multiple of 80. Also, ventilation holes should be taken into account, so the sauna is not installed close to the wall. Factory designs, for example, from Tylo, differ in that they do not have a vapor barrier. As a result, the efficiency of the insulation decreases and the service life of the lining is reduced.

As finishing material Swedes and Finns use coniferous wood that is pre-treated and does not contain resin. Domestic structures are sheathed with linden wood.

Which stove to choose for a home steam room?

One of important elements any steam room is a stove or heater. Scandinavian companies supply popular models to the Russian market - durable, elegant and economical. The production of saunas for the Finnish company Harvia is associated with the centuries-old traditions of this production. High Quality The manufacturer manages to achieve its products and special safety thanks to innovative technologies and high-quality materials used in production. The Combi model stands out in the Finnish manufacturer’s product line. It is interesting because it can be used in 2 modes: Russian bath and Finnish sauna.

The Finnish company Saunatec is also represented on the Russian market, which supplies Viki and Helo stoves. Also, in the catalog of this company there is a “president’s stove” - a Fantasy stove, specially made for the President of Finland.

such a prefabricated sauna will fit in any not too cramped city apartment

How to assemble a ready-made “apartment” sauna?

Prefabricated structures are equipped with a stove, lattice furniture, lamps, electrical wiring, and in some configurations, a shower. When installing panels, the joints should be covered with foil, ensuring thorough sealing. The cabin roof is also mounted from panels. A facing material is placed on the concrete floor surface, and lattice ladders are placed on top. Then you should connect the sauna to the ventilation and electrical systems.

Placement of the structure: in close proximity to the bath or shower;
Mandatory presence of a waterproofing base: two layers of waterproofing, then a concrete base ();
Styling facing material It is recommended to perform this before installation of the structure.

If the sauna is made to order, then the customer has a number of advantages over the buyer of a factory design. The dimensions correspond to the room and conditions, as well as the wishes of the customer. In addition, you can order any configuration, equip it with equipment and accessories. An undoubted advantage is also the fact that the panels can be covered with plasterboard. This will allow you to perform external finishing saunas in accordance with the overall design of the living space. This structure is installed within 1-2 days according to the same principle as the cabin purchased for assembly.

Among the latter and current trends experts note the use of 1 or more walls made of thermally tempered glass sheets with a thickness of more than 10 mm. It has also become fashionable and prestigious to use aluminum profiles and glass in combination.

We build a sauna in an apartment from scratch

Regarding the question of how to build a sauna in an apartment, it is worth noting that this option is cheaper than others. Although the construction process differs in labor and time costs.

Basic elements

For the cabin frame, wooden blocks with a cross-section of 60x60 mm are used. The ceiling and floor are the main places for attaching the frame posts. The installation height of 2.2 meters is quite sufficient; the remaining space between the cabin ceiling and the common ceiling is often used as mezzanines.
For external cladding, lining made of deciduous or coniferous wood is used. It hermetically seals several layers of insulation, a layer of polyethylene and foil. Softwoods must be treated and must not contain resin. Monitoring the tightness of the entire structure is mandatory.
The internal part of the frame (walls and ceiling) is also lined with clapboard with “filling” for thermal and moisture insulation. It is best to tile the floor ceramic tiles, and place wooden grates on top of the tiles.
To keep warm, it is better to make a door to the cabin small sizes(70x190 cm). It is usually made from solid massif tree. For safety reasons, it is recommended to make the door with a glass insert or made entirely of thermal glass.
When installing a sauna, it is extremely important to create a good one. Thanks to this, people in the sauna receive an influx of oxygen, the steaming regime is regulated and humidity is reduced. After the session, the sauna is ventilated and the safety of the wood finishing material is ensured.

electrical safety

It is important to ensure the safety of the electrical part of the sauna. To do this, you must fulfill the mandatory requirements:

Select power cable for connecting the heater to the distribution panel (with a cross section of 4-8 mm2);
It is recommended to install only hidden electrical wiring(heat-resistant cable under the casing);
Mandatory grounding and automatic protection;
Use waterproof lamps. In addition, to avoid burns, it is recommended to cover light sources with protective wooden screens.

In houses where they are installed gas stoves, you should carefully consider the size and resource intensity of the sauna. Since in such houses there are restrictions on power consumption (max. 3-4 kW).

In houses with electric stoves ( maximum power electricity 5-6 kW), a stove-heater of 3-4 kW will not create difficulties with the power grid. It is recommended to connect the stove to the electric stove phase. To avoid creating peak loads, you should not use an electric stove while the heater is operating.

Variety of sauna types

Mini saunas

Along with the “classic” sauna cabins, there are mini saunas. They are a structure made of a cedar barrel and a steam generator. A compact mini-sauna can easily be placed in the bathroom of an apartment or country house. It takes up very little space - about 1 m².

Moreover, she has healing properties. Experts note that thanks to sessions in such a sauna, weight is reduced, the skin gains firmness and elasticity, and cellulite goes away. The installation of such a bathhouse is usually carried out by the companies that sell them.

Power consumption is also very attractive - about 2 kW. The small sauna is equipped with a control panel and a thermometer. Some models are additionally equipped with a system for spraying balms.

Infrared Solutions

Very popular in Lately uses the infrared sauna. The basis of the infrared cabin is the use infrared radiation and its properties. Infrared waves conduct heat, which penetrates through the body and does not create additional stress on the cardiovascular system. When sweating profusely, infrared radiation removes toxic substances, fats and excess liquid from the body.

Turkish steam rooms for home

Among the most exotic and popular saunas is the hammam. Turkish bath in an apartment with large area and several levels – quite real.

The height of the room is not less than 2.8 m;
A domed ceiling is desirable;
Hot and cold water supply, sewerage;
Separate hood;
Full steam and waterproofing.

The modern hammam in the apartment is equipped with tiles instead of marble. To maintain a constant temperature, a “warm floor” system is used. A steam generator is used to produce steam.

Marina said:

And we made a sauna in the apartment in the closet, although it’s not very close to the bathtub, across the entire hallway and corridor. But everything is as it should be, including a ventilation pipe with a fan that pulls everything into the toilet and at the same time circulates air in the sauna, and with a fire sprinkler (just in case). It’s true that it’s only sitting, but together with my husband we fit perfectly sitting. It's such beauty. Every Saturday now exercise - sauna, beer...

Currently, saunas and bathhouses are built not only in country houses both in dachas and in apartments. The technical characteristics of the sauna allow it to be built in any room. Arranging a mini-sauna in an apartment is, of course, a complex issue, but it can be solved. The most important thing is to comply with everything important nuances and, of course, safety rules, especially fire safety.

Types of saunas

There are two types of home mini-saunas:

Finnish sauna cabin - a completely ready-made design, but quite expensive and not suitable for small apartments , because you will have to try to place it correctly in the room.
A thorough mini-sauna - built with your own hands. This option allows you to place the sauna indoors according to your wishes, and gives room for creativity.

So, how to make a bathhouse in an apartment?

Location and size

The first step is to calculate the parameters and draw up a project for the future mini-bath. The size of the mini-sauna should be chosen based on the number of visitors. For an adult, the most optimal size is 0.7x2 m. You can build a mini-bath with your own hands in the pantry, in the bathroom and even on the balcony - if infrared heaters are installed.

But still, the most suitable place for a sauna would be the bathroom, since all the necessary communications are already installed there. There is water (cold, hot), sewerage, ventilation, in general, there is everything that is necessary for bath procedures. Plus, building a sauna in the bathroom does not require remodeling the apartment, so there is no need for coordination with the REU.

When developing a project for a future mini-bath, you need to pay attention to the following points:

Thermal insulation.
Sauna heating device.
Ventilation system.

Sauna heating devices

You need to start with heat generators for the Finnish bathhouse, which are electric heaters. The most advantageous position is for the owner who has an electric stove (5 kW), with the same power as electric sauna stoves. In this case, to connect, it will be enough to run an extension cord into the kitchen and plug it into an outlet.

Important: Do not use the stove while the heater is running. The extension cord should be connected on days when the sauna is in use; the rest of the time it should be removed.

In order to connect the heater, you do not need to install a special socket in the bathroom or run a cable along the floor. It is better to purchase a special tray, which is sold at an electrical goods store. The cable located in the booth must be protected with a thermostatic hose. The energy consumption will be almost the same as that of a conventional washing machine. A thermally insulating stand is required under the stove. The heater must not be placed next to the bathtub or at the same level as it.

Important: cannot be used heating installations, which are made by yourself, especially those with open spirals.

In those houses with gas stoves, it will be more difficult. You will need to run a special cable from the meter to power the heater. Another great option would be an infrared sauna. In this case, the heaters produce heat rays specifically at the person, but do not heat the air. They must be installed as described in the instructions.

Materials for thermal insulation. In a home mini-sauna you need good thermal insulation ceiling and walls, because the heater power there is small. This will allow you to maintain the desired temperature with minimal energy consumption.

Important: when choosing insulation, it is advisable to abandon polystyrene foam and its modifications, because when heated, this material can melt and begin to emit harmful smoke.

An excellent material for insulation would be mineral wool insulation. This material is in no way inferior to foam plastic and is not affected by temperature. The insulation should be placed between the cladding slats. If the insulation comes into contact with the brick, then a polyethylene film must be used for vapor barrier. If panels that have thermal insulation are used as cladding, then the walls do not need to be insulated. The shields are made of natural cork, which is soldered with its own resin. It has good water resistance and is environmentally friendly. This material should be mounted to a timber frame.

Ventilation system

The next feature of creating a mini-bath with your own hands is the installation of ventilation. In a home bath, the air humidity is low, but if there is no good ventilation, moisture will immediately penetrate into the apartment. Therefore, it is important to provide a system for quickly removing excess moisture. The issue of ventilation must be taken seriously. The ventilation ducts in the house must be in perfect order.

Installation and its features

To fasten the bars, you need to use plastic dowels, because the wooden plugs will quickly become loose due to the constant temperature difference. In order to avoid problems when attaching the ceiling, the supporting beam should be installed vertically, and the cladding boards horizontally. In this case, the frame of the mini-bath will be quite rigid and will hold the ceiling well. If you install the boards with an overlap, then moisture will not be able to penetrate behind the cladding.

Important: it is imperative to install a vapor barrier between the thermal insulation and the cladding. This can be done using aluminum foil.

To prevent the wood from getting wet due to condensation, you need to leave a gap of approximately 4 mm between the sheathing and the foil.

Important: the heads of the nails must be recessed into the wood, because they can cause burns to the body.

Doors

The design of the door can be very diverse. It all depends on imagination and budget. The door can be a hinged door, a compartment door, or a Velcro-type device. The most important thing is to the entrance to the sauna was sealed and there was good thermal insulation. For a mini-bath with a stove, you need a wooden door, which will be insulated inside with foil. To close tightly, you need to make three-step edges of the jamb. But in an infrared sauna you should install glass door, for which a heat-resistant silicone seal should be used.

Floor arrangement

A plank floor for a sauna is not a very good option. If you really want a floor made of wood, then you should never varnish it. The best option would be a heated tiled floor., which must be laid out in advance, before the construction of wooden structures. The tile must meet the requirements fire safety.

Equipment

The internal equipment of the bath includes a headrest, a bed, a footrest, and a back support. All these parts must be wooden and preferably made of wood with low thermal conductivity, for example, pine, aspen or spruce. Control panels, supports, shelves and footrests can be purchased at specialty stores.

Important: all switches must be outside only. All lamps must be placed under heat-resistant and moisture-resistant glass, which can be purchased at any store.

Requirements for a mini-sauna in an apartment with your own hands:

A Finnish sauna must have a fire safety certificate.
The apartment itself must be equipped with a fire safety system.
There should be a fire extinguishing system in the form of water sprayers along the entire perimeter of the bathhouse.

A mini sauna is the very object that can fill the missing advantages of a country house in an apartment. Almost everyone is interested in looking more beautiful and feeling healthier. Of course, modern cosmetology offers a range of topical creams, bath additives and weight loss supplements.

But if you're looking for a way to eliminate toxins from your body and help with weight loss while feeling more relaxed and refreshed, then a portable mini steam sauna can help.

Stationary steam saunas have been around for at least 2,000 years. The Romans realized long ago how good they were. But what is a sauna? If you have not yet understood this issue, we offer a standard definition. A sauna is a small room filled with dry or wet steam. Your task is to sit inside for a while. The body will begin to sweat. By remaining there for some time, the cleaning process will gain strength.

If you can build a full-fledged one on the territory of a country house, and install it in the country, then you will need a mini sauna in the apartment for wellness procedures. Let's consider the best options for mini saunas for urban use.

Health benefits of a mini sauna

Research indicates a number of benefits that can potentially be obtained from a portable mini steam sauna. Last but not least, it is a relief from stress after a difficult day at work. Step inside, close the door, and you're enveloped in a cloud of heat that magically blocks out the outside world.

Medical experts readily admit that reducing mental stress in itself helps prevent many health problems. But the benefits of using a mini sauna in an apartment don’t seem to end there. Let's list the main advantages of a mini sauna:

Help with relaxation: In addition to relieving mental and emotional stress, portable steam mini saunas cause active muscle relaxation. Once physical tension subsides, muscles recover more easily from a long day at work, a strenuous workout, and even the pain of arthritis and other conditions.

Promotes better blood circulation: excessive heat generated by a mini sauna causes expansion blood vessels, which helps improve blood circulation. Blood flows more freely, allowing the body to repair itself by producing new, healthy cells.

You may experience mental benefits as a visit to a portable mini sauna promotes greater concentration and clarity. The benefits are also obvious for your skin, which is easy to notice thanks to a healthy, rosy glow.

If you have poor circulation, you may notice improvements as you use the mini sauna. For example, there is less tingling and numbness in the hands and feet, as well as a decrease in general joint ailments and less cold sensations.

A folding mini sauna in an apartment will restore health

A mini sauna creates immunity. You're probably well aware of how well steam cleanses your pores. Sometimes it helps relieve breathing problems due to allergic reactions. When it comes to fighting disease, mini saunas go far beyond these capabilities. Research shows a high level of heat helps in the production of white blood cells, thereby boosting your immune system.

A mini sauna increases your heart rate. Under normal resting conditions, the adult heart pumps blood at approximately 60 to 80 beats per minute. During thermal procedures in a mine sauna, the jump reaches 110 beats per minute or more, after the procedures it returns to normal. Similar to exercise, this process helps strengthen the heart muscle over the long term.

Lose weight with a mini sauna

Helps with weight loss. A certain amount of controversy and skepticism surrounds this potential aspect, but there is some definite science behind weight loss. In addition to reducing your food intake, exercise is important. With any form of exercise, one of your main goals is to get your heart rate up and keep it there for a long time.

As mentioned earlier, the sauna produces this effect. In turn, you burn additional calories. Most people can burn about 300 calories during a mini sauna session, which is equivalent to a brisk 90-minute walk for a 70-pound person.

Treatments in the mine sauna result in clearer skin. The skin goes through more stress during the day than we tend to realize. Temperature changes indoors and outdoors, dirt, and debris from our environment can cause irritation. At the same time, oils, dead skin cells, makeup, or skin moisturizing residue accumulate in the body's pores.

Damage appears, but sweat helps clear pores, improving the texture and appearance of the skin. It is also noted that heating the skin promotes the production of collagen and elastin - key elements that protect against the formation of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.

A mini sauna removes toxins. We are bombarded with thousands of chemicals every day from foods, drinks and even the air around us. Known as free radicals, these harmful agents cause us to age faster. Make you feel tired, and in some cases, lead to cancer.

Saunas allow the body to push all these elements to the surface of the skin. They help wash them away through deep, extensive sweating. Once the toxins are eliminated, you will notice increased energy levels. Your mood will improve. You may experience greater success in your weight loss efforts.

Experts note that all these benefits fully require the correct use of a mini sauna. Visiting the bathhouse should not be limited to once a year; instead, a methodical process needs to be established. This will certainly require a certain level of habit and commitment.

The right way to visit a home mini sauna

First, keep an eye on the temperature, it is a critical factor. Internal temperature in a steam mini sauna should lie in the range from 45 to 50 degrees Celsius.

The frequency of treatments is also important; in fact, you need a daily wellness routine to maximize the benefits of a mini sauna.

Experts suggest staying in a mini sauna for about five minutes if you're a beginner. As you get used to it, the session can be increased and the heat can be taken for up to 20 minutes per procedure. A long session should be accompanied by a cooling period.

Although the Finns, who are credited with the invention of the sauna, have a habit of rolling in the snow when cooling off, and Russians boldly jump into an ice hole - for home treatments, a cool shower will be enough. As soon as you stop sweating, it’s time to return to the sauna for a second dose of heat. For best effect, this process should be repeated at least three times.

If you have to visit a local gym or a spa for daily sauna sessions, you will soon notice that this is quite a labor-intensive undertaking.

Having your own portable mini steam sauna in your home makes the process less tiring. All you need is a small budget and a little space to install a portable mini sauna. Dimensions of the mini sauna:
