Throughout the history of its development, man has unconsciously, and often consciously, been drawn to comfort. We in Russia understand that such comfort only happened with the beginning of mass construction of comfortable housing in cities. The emergence of a free market for building materials made it possible for numerous residents of private houses in suburban towns, villages and hamlets to enjoy the comfort.

In general, comfortable housing is housing in which the notorious amenities are located in a warm room inside the house, and not somewhere on the street in a plank booth. This is when in order to wash, you don’t need to heat the bathhouse, in winter it takes the whole day, so the bathhouse in the village happens either on Sunday or on a major holiday, when in order to wash you don’t need to take time off from work.

Today you can improve your home even in the most remote village. Moreover, true comfort these days is only possible in an individual private house, built according to your own design.

As you know, our apartments are not very spacious; as for non-residential premises, such as the bathroom, toilet and kitchen, their area is so small that the owners have to show miracles of ingenuity in order to comfortably place in these premises everything that they are without don't make sense.

Bathroom according to an individual project

Your home is another matter. Rules of modern design bathroom in the house they say that the bathrooms, designed according to individual projects, are not much different from a city apartment, except that they are more spacious.

If the house project was created taking into account the wishes of its owner, then he can initially do everything in it exactly the way he wants and it will be convenient for him, and not for someone else in general.

If living rooms can be located in any way in the house, then the bathroom and kitchen should be located where it will be most convenient to install engineering systems.

The construction of individual sewerage must be carried out taking into account the requirements of the SES, which states that the toilet must be located at a distance of no closer than 25 meters from the well or borehole. In reality, this rule is not always observed.

But even if, according to the design, the cesspool is located at a closer distance from the source drinking water, you shouldn’t despair, it’s enough instead of simple cesspool install a septic tank and the problem will be solved. The only thing you need to remember is the location of the septic tank; it must be installed in a place where a sewer truck can easily drive up to it.

The sewer pipe leading from the house to the septic tank must be sufficiently large diameter, at least 15-20 cm and located at an acute angle in order to wastewater freely flowed down it into the septic tank.

The pipe brought out must be taken into a wooden or brick box, having first wrapped it in a thick layer of mineral wool. This precaution will prevent the pipe from freezing in winter.

Problems of arranging a bathroom in a private house

Having decided on the location of the sewer outlet, it will be possible to say quite definitely where your kitchen, bathroom and toilet will be located. All these rooms should be spacious enough, especially the bathroom. I must say that this is all the advantages individual house When it comes to arranging a bathroom, problems end and problems begin.

Buying city ​​apartment, along with it, a person buys a bathroom, albeit small and not very comfortable, but absolutely ready for use.

In your own separate house, you have to do the arrangement of the bathroom yourself. Thanks to its very small size, the bathroom is perhaps the most... warm room throughout the apartment.

How to fight fungus in the bathroom

Designers initially plan the small size of the bathroom so that it best retains the heat generated not only by heating radiators, but also by hot water. Since the bathroom is used for taking water procedures, this room is almost constantly exposed to moisture, which inevitably leads to the appearance of mold on the walls, floors and ceilings.

To avoid this, it is necessary to regularly ventilate the bathroom. Since a bathroom in a private house is created according to an individual project, unlike standard rooms of this type, you can easily plan a window in it that can be opened to ventilate the bathroom and dry the room. In principle, you don’t need to make a window in the bathroom; it will be enough to cut an vent in the ceiling.

If this is not enough, you can install a hood in the bathroom by inserting it into the vent. The volume of the room in a standard bathroom is small and it heats up very quickly.

Having wished to have a more spacious bathroom, we thus not only acquire additional space, but also an additional problem associated with the need to insulate and heat it. If the bathroom is not warm enough, then you are not far from catching a cold.

Bathroom insulation

The following materials can be used as insulation: mineral wool, foam or cork. The most preferred of all is mineral wool. It absorbs moisture well, so before use it must be covered with a layer of waterproofing.

Polystyrene foam retains heat very well, but is too fragile, so care must be taken when decorating walls and ceilings with it. Cork thermal insulation of walls and ceilings in the bathroom is made by gluing cork plates.

Bathroom heating

Having allocated a large room for the bathroom, you also need to take care of its additional heating. The best solution to this problem would be to install a double-circuit gas or electric boiler.

A double-circuit boiler is a combined water heater and heating system. A gas boiler is much cheaper to operate than an electric one and does not require any modifications to the gas supply system. However, despite the fact that our country is a gas giant, not all of our territories have been gasified.

Wealthy citizens of our country living in these areas do not face the costs and prefer to install electrical systems heating and don't bother with solid fuel boilers, which must be cleaned daily before lighting.

An electric boiler is the most convenient of all. It turns on once in the fall, after which it can not be turned off until spring, only occasionally adjusting the temperature of the coolant, that is, the water in the boiler. An electric boiler has its disadvantages.

A fairly powerful electric boiler, like electric stove, requires connection to a three-phase network, which ordinary houses are not provided; in addition, electricity is the most expensive form of energy.

However, no matter how hard we try to heat the bathroom, the floor in the bathroom of a private house, unless it is specially insulated, will still remain cold. In order to insulate the floor, polystyrene is often used, which serves as a good thermal insulator. Today, so-called heated floors are becoming increasingly popular.

Warm floor

A warm floor is such because it is artificially heated by electric thermoelements woven into a mesh. The mesh is flexible and easy to cut. The element woven into it is a tubular flexible electric heater stretched over the entire mesh area.

Unlike a thermoelement, the mesh can be cut and folded over the entire floor area; after the heated floor is laid, it is connected to the electrical network. Laminate slabs, linoleum, parquet or any other covering are laid on top of the warm floor.

Choosing bathroom fixtures

After you've finished with the floor, you need to think about installing a bathtub. Multiple photographs of bathrooms in private houses eloquently demonstrate that a non-standard bathroom in a private house is almost always much larger than the area of ​​a standard bathroom in a city apartment, and the plumbing installed in it can also be much larger than usual.

It is unlikely that anyone will install a sitz bath in the bathroom of their own home. People are building own houses in the suburbs, not in order to arrange a corner of Soviet life in them, but, for example, to make a bathroom in a private house, turning it into a relaxation room and soak in the jacuzzi.

Bathroom in country house- this is a separate topic that requires detailed study. Unlike an apartment, there is enough free space here to implement even the most daring ideas. To competently create an interior in such a bathroom, it is important to take into account the features of the room and other nuances, which we will talk about in this article.

Like any other room before renovation, a bathroom in a private house requires careful design. The advantage of a private house is the fact that the owner himself has the right to determine the dimensions of the future bathroom and, based on them, make a sketch of the interior.

As a rule, the bathroom is always located next to the bedroom. For convenience, it is equipped with two exits, one of which leads to the corridor, the second to the bedroom. For a house with several floors, you will have to consider the presence of a bathroom on each of them for comfortable use and to avoid searching for this room throughout the house.

Both ordinary household boilers and full-fledged boilers are responsible for heating water.

Important! To prevent the design of the bathroom from being spoiled, all communications are hidden using installation or behind decorative overlays.

The pipes are hidden under drywall, screed or recessed into the walls, and meters and connections must be on the surface, since they need easy access. Electrical wires are laid in special, pre-prepared grooves in the walls and covered with mortar. You can lay them in the seams between the tiles and cover them with tile adhesive. Such installation will not only make the room aesthetically attractive, but also protect the wires from moisture, which is inevitable in the bathroom.

For example, the walls and ceiling of the bathroom are covered with veneer, and the floor is laid with parquet boards or laminate. This creates a unique, eco-friendly bathroom design. Houses made of rounded logs are unique buildings where the finishing in the bathroom can be left in its original form.
