Bath with attic size 6x6

Bath with a loft - an original and practical solution. Such a bath in itself serves as a place to relax, if it is equipped with an additional room (or even several), the level of comfort will only increase. In this case, after the water procedures will not necessarily go to the house. You can continue to rest on the top floor. Consider the features, materials and projects of the bath with a penthouse size 6x6 m.

Special features

If the house does not have a loft or terrace, this can be corrected by arranging the bath. A small terrace with access to the attic can also become a fun-filled area (especially in the summer), can add a lot of sunlight to the room. Attic reduces the number of acres used for the construction of baths. A bath with an attic of 6x6 m is a great option in those cases when there is not enough space for building a bath or if you do not want to use free space.

This bath is able to accommodate in its design premises that are designed directly for water procedures, as well as provide sufficient space in them. Attic can be used as a rest room, as well as a bedroom for guests. The attic area allows you to arrange a living room and a kind of living room. Due to the fact that there is additional space for auxiliary premises, more space remains for main rooms (for example, a steam room, a shower room).

Due to the fact that the bath has a small area and weight, the foundation is not made as strong as during the construction of the house. There is also a significant savings in cement or concrete. At the design stage of the bath it is necessary to provide for the possibility of sewage and electrical wiring. Due to the fact that the bath is an object of high humidity, it is necessary to provide high-quality waterproofing of the floor and walls in order to avoid dampness in the rooms. Great ventilation is of great importance.

A small area bath is built in a short period of time; it requires great effort when leaving.Do not strengthen the heating system is not - this is a good way to save. Of course, a large role is played by the material from which they will construct a bath. For example, a brick bath will need good heating, facilities for frame technology - on the contrary.

It is recommended to have a bath at a sufficient distance from the house: it has a poor fire resistance. If a fire occurs, the flame should not affect the house. To reduce the possibility of fire, it is necessary to treat the surface with flame retardants

Materials

The traditional material for the construction of the bath is wood. It is inherent environmental friendliness due to naturalness. To build a wooden bath, use these types of wood:

massive timber;
profiled bar;
glued laminated timber;
rounded log.

Of these types of material, only massive timber is not subjected to special treatment for good fixation of the log house. Because of this, it has a lower price, but its quality is not the best. The most qualitative material of the wood massif is the rounded log. This material has a long service life, it is simple in construction, eliminating the need for additional finishing.In this case, there is a high level of thermal insulation due to the good density of the joining of the material elements.

Most often in the construction of a bath with a loft use pine wood. For the low price of this raw material, you can get a good heat resistance and smooth construction of the structure. Larch also has good properties, but it also has a fairly large weight compared with pine. Cedar is characterized by a long service life, good thermal conductivity, but its price is much higher than other analogues.

Despite the different types of wood, the array has an excellent ability to pass air, which provides a favorable indoor climate. However, in any case, it is necessary to additionally warm not only the attic, but also the first floor. At present, construction on frame technology is gaining great popularity. Unlike wood, the use of a frame has several advantages.

The main one is the ease of construction work (you can cope on your own without the involvement of specialists), as well as the absence of shrinkage, a considerable operating life at a relatively low price.The frame can be not only wooden, but also metal.

Foam concrete and aerated concrete are distinguished from other building materials.. These materials are similar in their characteristics and have a porous structure. The construction of the building of these materials occurs in a short period of time. Due to the low weight of foam blocks, there is no heavy load on the foundation; you can carry out construction work yourself.

The blocks of these materials are distinguished by such advantages as environmental friendliness, long service life, resistance to fire. Among the shortcomings it is worth noting the need for good thermal insulation and waterproofing.

Despite the many advantages of brick, it is not advisable to use it for the construction of baths. The brick creates a high load on the foundation; it requires additional high-quality thermal insulation. To erect a bath with its use is a rather laborious task. The laying should be done by an experienced master. The main types of foundation for the construction of a 6x6 m bath with an attic are:

columnar;
piling
tape

Projects

The appearance of a bath with an attic resembles a tower, especially if wood is used for construction.The project plan of the bath can be made independently, carefully considering the location of windows and doors. It is important to take into account all the nuances, including:

communications;
posting;
waterproofing;
vapor barrier.

Insulation data is necessary in order to prevent the occurrence of mold or mildew, which can destroy the structure. Since the bath with the attic is used not only for its intended purpose, you can complete the terrace or balcony, beautifully arrange the porch. In addition, the terrace can be used instead of gazebos, if you add a canopy or marquise. For the construction of terraces used concrete blocks or piles.

So the terrace does not need additional production of the foundation. It makes sense to allocate space for the kitchen, toilet, an extra bedroom.

The most common project bath 6x6 m with an attic is the following layout:

the first floor includes a small hall, a walk-through room (it is desirable to have a bathroom and a staircase on the second floor in it, a small kitchen can be equipped), a waiting room, a shower room and a steam room;
the attic consists of a small hall and a guest room.

From the attic can be made and two rooms, the area allows it. If you plan to invite a large number of people, it is better to make a bedroom and an entertainment room. If the bath is built more for the owners, then in the second room you can arrange a library, a billiard room (depending on preferences). You can equip it under a place to rest.

Most often, with such buildings perform roof gable type, for the bath is well suited tent and sloping roof. The broken roof can successfully emphasize the interesting architecture of the building. Shed roof is rarely used.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that the minimum ceiling height of the attic should be at least 2 m (preferably 2.5 m). So there will be more usable space.
