The whole country rests on such workers

Alexey Gennadievich!!! Due to lack of time, I couldn’t write to you - thank you very much for the work of your employees in building the bathhouse, two young men, unfortunately, I don’t know their names, they worked clearly and harmoniously, the quality of the bathhouse is EXCELLENT!!! The whole country rests on such workers. All our friends and relatives also noted the impeccable work of the guys, which resulted in the bathhouse we dreamed of.

The guys built us an amazing bathhouse

I would like to express my deep gratitude to Alexey (general director), Sergey Zorin and Vladimir Chistyakov (builders)! At the beginning of August, the guys built us a stunning bathhouse, taking into account all our wishes. The delivery of materials was carried out on time, the construction was completed even ahead of the previously agreed time, the quality of materials and work is at the highest level. In general, just a fairy tale! I advise you to build only with Russian carpenters!

"Price quality"

The work is pleasing to the eye. Fast, high quality, on time. I thank the team of guys (Evgeny, Dmitry, Sergey) and General Director Alexey Roslov for the work done. I ordered a bathhouse with a 6x6 attic, project B-20, with minor changes, “for shrinkage.” All work was completed ahead of schedule and with high quality. All my wishes were taken into account. I was very pleased with Alexey Roslov’s attitude towards his work. He always promptly and competently answered all my questions and resolved controversial issues. The team, despite the young age of the guys, worked quickly and smoothly, and at the end they gave advice on caring for the timber and preserving it for the winter. Next year I will do the finishing with the same team. "Russian Carpenters" wins in all respects compared to other large companies. “Price-quality” is about them. Thank you very much again. I will recommend it to everyone.

Every owner of a private house or country estate wants his plot to have as many useful buildings as possible, such as a garage, a place to relax with a barbecue, a swimming pool and even a bathhouse. Why spend money on a vacation with friends or family when you can have a wonderful vacation right on your own property. Moreover, modern construction technologies make it possible to build a beautiful bathhouse with your own hands and at no extra cost. It can be built using frame technology, and the result will exceed all expectations.

Peculiarities

The best option for a frame bath would be a building with an area of 3x4 meters, which will allow you to equip not only a steam room, but also a small shower room and even a relaxation room. This type of construction has its own strengths, some of which can be highlighted.

It is economical. The construction will require a relatively small amount of building materials.
Simple foundation construction. For such a construction there is no need to build a monolithic foundation; a columnar version will suffice.
Construction will take little time. The construction technology is very simple, and even if erected independently it will not take much time.
A structure of this type is reliable and durable. Due to the fact that few materials will be spent, it becomes possible to purchase them of higher quality.
Communications can be laid directly in the walls. This will give the room a neat appearance.

This bathhouse is environmentally friendly, as it is built only from natural materials.
The construction process can take place at any temperature and at any time of the year.
It is possible to perform both external and internal finishing using any materials.
The finished building will not require shrinkage.
Simple registration with the cadastral service. If you have a construction project, it can be quickly registered. In addition, official registration will help to obtain a high price for it in case of sale of the plot.

When building such a bathhouse, it is very important to provide for its thermal insulation and vapor barrier. Thermal insulation for a bathhouse is very important. To install it in rooms of this type, you can use mineral wool or fiberglass, which have decent heat-retaining qualities.

Vapor barrier is also a very important point that should not be overlooked. During periods of rain and snow, increased environmental humidity can penetrate into the room, which will negatively affect its service life. Therefore, during the construction process, it is recommended to lay a layer of special film or glassine between the sheathing and the insulation, which will resist the penetration of moisture into the room.

And it is also necessary to take into account that the quality and service life of the frame bath will largely depend on the choice of wood. It is better to prefer deciduous, aspen or linden tree varieties. When purchasing, be sure to check the degree of dryness of the boards. Once all the positive aspects of such a construction have been identified, and the basic materials have been taken into account and selected, you can proceed to the preparation of the bathhouse project. This stage is very important in the construction process.

Projects

A properly prepared project for a future 3 by 4 m bathhouse in a dacha or garden plot is a huge plus and a major stage in the construction of a building. In such a room of relatively modest size, everything should be initially thought out to the smallest detail: where the stove will be located, the chimney, what kind of ventilation there will be, where to install the shower, and how to connect all the necessary communications. If everything is calculated correctly and competently, then all rooms can be made convenient and comfortable for relaxation.

An example of the areas of the internal space of a bathhouse are:

dressing room and dressing room - two by three meters;
the steam room itself is two by two meters;
shower room, from which you can even equip a full-fledged bathroom, is one by two meters.

And also for a comfortable stay in all rooms and additional ventilation, you can install windows in the rest room and shower room. Their optimal sizes will be 70 by 70 cm and 50 by 50 cm, respectively. The steam room itself can also be equipped with a small window. The preferred size will be the same 50 by 50 cm. A frame bathhouse provides for the construction of a gable roof, under which it is possible to equip an attic. It will be small in size, but you can store everything you need for a good rest there.

And also such a bathhouse can be equipped with a small veranda, on which you can arrange an additional place for relaxation. Taking into account the veranda, the size of the structure can be 4x3 meters.

It is possible for yourself to make a regular standard drawing, which you will have to rely on during construction. But do not forget that in order to further register this building with the cadastral service, detailed design documentation will have to be developed. The interior and interior decoration of the bathhouse can be decorated in accordance with your preferences.

Even long-outdated things are suitable here, such as wooden spoons, a samovar, bast shoes, brooms, which will bring the spirit of folk culture into your building.

Materials

Before starting construction of a frame bath, be sure to decide what materials will be used. The walls of the building are most often made of wood. It would be appropriate to use profiled or glued wooden beams. The sizes 10 by 15 cm and 15 by 15 cm can be considered suitable for external work. For internal construction, it is better to use the same timber 10 by 15 cm.

For thermal insulation of a room, the use of materials with a foil layer is well suited. They retain heat indoors very well. You can choose mineral wool with a foil layer. An advantage of this material is also the absence of the need for vapor barrier equipment.

Lining is the most common material for interior cladding. He is:

environmentally friendly;
durable;
cheap.

The entire structure of the bathhouse, including the external and internal parts, must form one common frame. Only in this case will the proper reliability of the premises be ensured. A columnar foundation is well suited for this type of bathhouse. To construct it, you will need pipes or blocks mounted in a concrete strip foundation. Although you can also use cinder block or aerated concrete to build it.

The choice of stove is determined only by the desire of the bathhouse owner. You can install a regular metal stove and line it with brick, or purchase a more modern option - an electric stove.

How to build?

After a detailed construction project has been developed and all the necessary materials have been purchased, you can begin building a bathhouse with your own hands. The first stage of construction will be laying out the foundation. If you build a columnar foundation, you will need nine blocks that will form the basis of the structure. Work should be carried out in a certain sequence.

It is necessary to prepare a plot of land for construction, preferably on a flat surface. This area is cleared, debris, grass, and shrubs are removed.
Make markings for the foundation and install formwork.
Pour the foundation and install pillars in the prepared places, which will serve as the foundation of the entire structure.
Next, you need to leave the base for several days until it dries completely.

After this, you can proceed to the construction of the building frame. It is most often made from wooden beams. It is necessary to treat the material with an antiseptic in advance so that it lasts much longer. Marking is carried out, the material must be laid along the outside of the building and secured with nails.

When tying the frame, be sure to use a building level.

After finishing the piping, you can move on to arranging the walls. They are also made from wood that has been prepared in advance and treated with an antiseptic solution. The boards are attached very tightly to each other on the axis. It is important not to forget about door and window openings. Professionals recommend installing a stand at the point where the frame is connected to the wall to make the structure stronger. The construction of walls should always start at the corners to prevent the structure from slanting.

Having completed the construction of the walls, you can proceed to arranging the roof of the bathhouse. All work is carried out according to a standard scheme. It is necessary to provide excellent ventilation to ensure that steam and condensation do not accumulate under the roof. Doors and windows can be installed in the formed door and window openings. You may prefer a metal one as an entrance door, while wooden ones are suitable for internal doors.

It is necessary to take into account that the door to the steam room must be made of thick wooden beams or tempered glass in order to maintain the temperature in the room well.

You can choose either wooden or metal-plastic windows. They can be made to order, choosing, for example, tinted, frosted or patterned glass.

After erecting the foundation, walls and roof of the building, it is necessary to carry out the external finishing of the frame bathhouse. Here the choice of materials is unlimited and depends only on the imagination and material resources of the owner. The following materials are well suited for exterior finishing:

tile;
plaster;
siding;
boards;
eurolining.

It is necessary to equip the walls with insulation and waterproofing materials, and then proceed to exterior finishing with any chosen material.

Lining is certainly suitable for finishing the inside of a bathhouse. It is a natural material, environmentally friendly, and does not pose any harm to humans during severe temperature changes. In addition, it is very durable. It is worth abandoning the interior decoration using such popular plastic panels today. When heated too much, they produce harmful chemicals and can even melt.

It is also better to make the floor from wooden planks. But you should not cover them with paints or varnishes that cannot withstand high temperatures.. It needs to be well polished and simply treated with an antiseptic.

Successful examples and options

Today there are many companies that manufacture turnkey baths. Structural diagrams and calculations of materials for such structures can be used to create an idea for your own project. For example, a bathhouse on the site can be one-story with a small attic; you can arrange an attic that will serve as a guest room. But there is also the possibility of building a two-story bathhouse by arranging a full-fledged recreation room on the second floor with a billiard table, a music center and a large TV.

So, let’s assume that you have a 4 by 4 bathhouse. The interior layout, photos and sketches will help you optimally plan all the bathhouse spaces in such a small area.

Bathrooms in a log house 4 x 4 baths

On 16 square meters you will need to place the following bath rooms:

Steam room (the main room in any Russian bathhouse).
Washing department.
Waiting room.
Rest room (if possible).
Furnace (if possible).

What is good about a 4 by 4 bathhouse, the layout inside, photos and diagrams of which are presented on this page? The fact that all of the above premises are located in their entirety on an area of only 16 square meters. m.

If it seems to you that the area is too small, then you can do the following:

The rest room can be combined with a dressing room or even moved out to the veranda attached to the bathhouse. You can also relax on the terrace near the bathhouse, if, of course, the weather and climate permit.
You don’t need a combustion chamber if your sauna stove is heated directly from the steam compartment. That is, the firebox opens into the steam room. Of course, in this case, all the debris from the heating will be in the steam room - unnecessary movements to remove chips and ash.

Bathhouse 4 by 4 - photo of the layout inside

As you can see, a 4 by 4 bathhouse, the layout inside, photos and sketches of which are presented here, can consist of several rooms.

Or there may be just one room that combines all of the above. That is, a steam room, a washing room and a furnace room can be combined in one room.

And a cold wooden dressing room can be attached to such a log house.

This is exactly how it is always done in villages, and they often build it the same way now.

Here are a few photos of how the layout can be implemented inside a small 4 by 4 meter bathhouse.

Having your own plot of land and not building a bathhouse is bad manners. Even in small garden plots, where due to greenhouses and beds there was no place to place a full-fledged house, our man always found a place for a Russian bath. What can we say about full-size land plots of the individual housing construction category.

3x4 bath layout showing all sizes

Where space does not allow building a large bathhouse, a log house with dimensions of 3 * 4 is erected, and if there are no restrictions on area, then you can swing at. Moreover, any bathhouse layout will include the most basic things - a steam room, a wash room and a dressing room in various variations. The remaining rooms are optional.

It is better to split even the smallest bathhouse into rooms with internal partitions than to leave one large room.

A well-thought-out internal layout of the bathhouse is the key to successful operation. Only by dividing an already small room with walls, you can achieve high-quality heating of a steam room from which no steam will escape, a well-heated washroom with access to hot water, and a dressing room protected from steam and moisture.

As a rule, a rest room and other rooms are not built in a very small bathhouse, preferring to move them outside the building.

This allows you not only to save and optimize the internal space, but also to organize the recreation area more comfortably and thoughtfully, using alternative options.

Waiting room in a Russian bath

It is absolutely necessary, as in any capital building. This is a small, most often unheated, although there are exceptions, room. Its main task is to prevent direct entry of cold air into the interior of the bathhouse - the washing room and steam room.

Drawings of the most modest-sized baths represent a dressing room in the form of a small nook with two doors - one leads to the street, the second leads inside the bathhouse, directly to the washing room. Sometimes the vestibule is equipped with several hooks and a narrow bench where you can leave clothes.

Some suggest combining a vestibule with a rest room. In this case, the front door from the street leads directly into the bathhouse.

Cold air enters the room, where there is a small table with benches or sun loungers, and a full-fledged locker room is equipped. It is assumed that the rest room is heated so well from the sauna stove that cold air from the street will not change the comfortable microclimate.

Where the size of the plot allows, the vestibule can be combined with a terrace or veranda. In this case, during the warm season, the relaxation room is equipped outside, in the fresh air, and the interior spaces are used for their intended purpose - for a steam room and a sink.

Wash room in a Russian bath

Traditionally, the steam room separated the room from the room where the water splashed. Firstly, it is much more difficult to warm up and make a large room vapor-tight than a space of a couple of square meters. Secondly, with high humidity it is very difficult to tolerate high air temperatures. Although baths with a sink and a steam room are 2 in 1 and are not at all uncommon.

Even small buildings with dimensions of 3*4 allow you to divide the internal space into a steam room and a washing room. Depending on the needs of the owners, the size of each room will depend.
If a Russian bathhouse is built for frequent meetings with friends exclusively in the company of men, then half a square meter will be enough for a washroom. And the rest of the room can be occupied by a steam room or a steam room with a relaxation room.

If the bathhouse is being built for a family with children, or is not only a place of relaxation, but is also used for laundry and other household and household needs, then the washing room should be larger.

Russian steam room

The heart and very essence of the Russian bath is the steam room. Such a room is arranged at the maximum distance from the front door. It has no window openings and is small in size. If the dimensions of the building can be arbitrary, then the drawings of the steam room comply with the standards, which are calculated based on:

At the same time, the ceiling heights have a very small spread: from 2.1 meters to 2.4. But the length and width of a room, even for two people, can vary significantly: from 840*1150 mm to 1900*2350 mm. And these are only very modest, small-sized projects. The larger the room of the bath itself, the more space and possibilities appear when designing a steam room.

If the steam room will be used by 1-2 people, then you can make this room very compact, providing only seating for steamers.

If space allows, the bathhouse layout may include shelves for horizontal placement. By arranging shelves in a cascade, the steam room can be made more spacious than with the classic arrangement.

Additional rooms in the bathhouse

The bathhouse today has ceased to be just a room for taking water procedures. Today it is a place of relaxation, meeting with friends, or a country house-bath. Depending on the purpose and size of the building, the number of additional rooms can be completely different.

Bathhouse with relaxation room

If the rest room during the construction of a bathhouse is provided as a separate room, then it performs an independent function without duplicating the duties of a dressing room, locker room or wash room.

An example of a 5x5 bathhouse layout with a relaxation room

This is a very spacious room that can occupy up to 1/2 of the area of the entire bathhouse. Here, as a rule, there is a large table, comfortable benches or sun loungers; with good ventilation, you can even put special upholstered furniture that is not afraid of moisture and temperature changes. This is important, since in winter the bathhouse will not be heated constantly, and the temperature inside will drop from +25-30 to minus.

Some bathhouse designs involve placing a small kitchen area and a pool table in the recreation room. And installing a special sauna stove with a fireplace module allows you to make this room more comfortable and homely.

Bathhouse with swimming pool

The classic Russian bathhouse does not provide such luxury, but today a swimming pool in a bathhouse is not such a rarity. Some projects boast a full-fledged swimming pool, gym and... But placing a small swimming pool under the same roof with a steam room is quite a common occurrence.

Bedroom in a one-story bathhouse

This layout option is very convenient if you often have guests. Then the bathhouse can be used not only as a place to relax, but also as a separate home to accommodate friends. The bedroom in the bathhouse is an independent room and does not serve as a common rest room. It may not have a separate entrance, but it must be isolated from the main bath block: wash room and steam room.

Most often, such projects offer symmetrical or asymmetrical placement of the guest room.

In the first case, the internal layout of the 3x5 bath is divided into two equal parts, the entrance door is located clearly in the center. And on one side of the entrance there is a guest room, on the other - the entire complex of bathhouses. The guest room has a common wall with either a relaxation room or a steam room and washroom.

In the second case, the room is also divided into two blocks - a common bathhouse and a guest one, but the space is not divided equally. A large area is allocated for general needs, and a smaller part (usually 1/3) for a guest room.

Two-story bathhouse

A two-story bathhouse is built only if it is to be used as a living space by the owners themselves or as a guest house. Less often, a two-story bathhouse is built exclusively for relaxation.
In order to save money, a full second floor is often replaced with an attic. This type of building fully meets all the requirements placed on the second floor.

Most provide for the placement of bedrooms or guest rooms there. In small buildings this can be one common room; in larger buildings, two bedrooms can fit on the second floor. Depending on the chosen option, the floor is equipped with a small hall, which is reached by a staircase, or it may be absent if there is only one bedroom upstairs.

If a bathhouse with an attic is built exclusively for relaxation, then entertainment for a narrow circle of people is transferred to the second floor: a chill-out, a relaxation room, a billiard table and a cinema can be located here.

The space on the ground floor is divided into a spacious steam room, a wash room, possibly a swimming pool and a relaxation room. The rest room on the ground floor is a place with a table, benches or sun loungers, as well as a small kitchen area with a kettle, microwave and refrigerator. All this makes it comfortable to relax after a steam room and a get-together with friends.

Bathhouse with extensions

Another interesting option for planning a bathhouse is the construction of a main bathhouse block, which accommodates a steam room, a wash room and possibly a relaxation room. And all other premises - guest rooms, bedrooms, recreation areas, a swimming pool and a plunge pool - are completed nearby, as needed.

Bathhouse measuring 3 by 4 square meters. m - although it is small, it is a very comfortable room for relaxation. It can accommodate all the necessary rooms: from the steam room to the dressing room. So owners of small plots do not have to worry, because even in a compact courtyard they will be able to build an ideal place for relaxation.

Peculiarities

At first glance at the miniature bathhouse, it seems that it is terribly uncomfortable and it is simply impossible to fully relax there. But in fact, such buildings also have their advantages. First of all, by deciding to build a mini-steam room on your site, you can significantly save on building materials.

Regardless of what materials are chosen, constructing a small building will cost less than constructing a huge two-story structure.

If you build a mini-bath, you can also save a little time. The less complex work, the less time you will have to spend on construction. It will be even more profitable if you entrust this work to professionals who estimate their work hourly.

By the way, since the bathhouse is small, you can safely choose more expensive building materials. This means that the steam room will be of better quality and more durable. All this makes compact baths quite popular.

Kinds

When planning the construction of a bathhouse, first of all, you need to decide what it will be like. Don't take ideas from your head. It is better to focus on classical concepts. Let's look at the most popular types of baths from around the world.

To begin with, it is worth mentioning the division of buildings according to humidity level:

The first category includes baths that are heated with dry steam. The temperature in such rooms is the highest. It varies from sixty to one hundred and twenty degrees. The humidity there, on the contrary, is very low - no higher than twenty-five percent.
The second group is damp baths. In such rooms the temperature is lower - about 60 degrees. But the humidity is increased.
Water baths are heated with hot water.

All types of rooms are heated according to these principles:

Roman. One of the oldest types of baths. It consists of five rooms that are connected to each other. The first room is called the dressing room. The second is conventionally called warm. If in the first room the temperature is very low, then in this room it is already rising. In the third, hot one, it’s even warmer. And the fourth is already called the steam room. Traditionally, the temperature in this room reaches 85 degrees. In some cases it is even higher. The fifth is considered unloading and it is already getting colder there.
Irish. This type of bath is similar to the previous one. But there are also some differences. The most important of them is that the rooms here do not connect to one another, but open with doors into a common corridor. So you don’t necessarily need to move from one room to another, you can go into any one you want.

Russian. This is the most familiar type of bathhouse for us. In such a building there is always a small dressing room, washing room and steam room. In the steam room there is another distinctive detail of the Russian bath - a real stove.
Finnish. This type of steam room is also called a sauna. The Finnish sauna consists of one room. It is heated using hot steam. The humidity in the room is reduced to a minimum.

Ofuro. This term is used to describe Japanese baths. Although it is difficult for an ordinary Russian person to believe that this is a full-fledged steam room. Essentially, it is a simple barrel filled with hot water. The liquid filling this container is heated to sixty degrees and is supplemented with various medicinal herbs, which also have a beneficial effect on health and skin. According to the creators, a person should spend 10 minutes or even more in this healing decoction. But even people in very good health do not always succeed.
Hammam. The last type of baths is Turkish. It belongs to the category of aquatic. This type of room is best suited for those who do not like or for health reasons cannot withstand exposure to high temperatures. The main feature of the hammam is a large pool with hot water. True, before the bathhouse visitor gets to this pool, he has to plunge into several more containers with colder water.

As is already clear, hammams are usually quite large, and it is almost impossible to fit all the necessary parts into a 3x4 area.

Materials used

Having decided on the choice of type of construction, you need to understand what materials will be used to build the bathhouse.

Brick. The most common option is brick construction. This material is not only fireproof, but also resistant to high humidity. In addition, brick buildings look very stylish. This is a universal material that never loses its relevance.
Expanded clay. Materials such as expanded clay and polystyrene have also earned a good reputation. They are characterized by high strength and durability. At the same time, buildings made from such materials have low thermal conductivity, which means that a well-heated bathhouse will not cool down for a long time.

Beam. Timber is often chosen to build a bathhouse. This material is especially good. Natural wood is completely safe for health and retains heat well indoors. In addition, if the rooms are decorated with timber, then a pleasant woody aroma will constantly hover in the bathhouse. The only drawback of such buildings is their fragility. The timber itself does not react well to constant temperature changes and high humidity. Therefore, it is necessary to additionally process the wood and restore this protective layer on a regular basis. But you definitely shouldn’t paint or varnish the timber, so as not to spoil its natural appearance.
Blocks. The last popular material is blocks. They are massive, so you can easily build a full-fledged structure from them in just a couple of days.

Room layout

Since 4x3 meters is not so much, it is difficult to accommodate all the necessary rooms in such an area. First of all, with It’s worth paying attention to the most necessary rooms:

Waiting room. This room is considered an integral attribute of the bathhouse. But at the same time, in some cases this room is sacrificed to save space. The purpose of this room is to leave all your belongings, shoes, etc. in it. Essentially, this is a room that functions as a locker room.
Washing room. The sink is a room that you need to enter before moving into the steam room. Usually there is a minimum of furniture in it - only neat benches. In some cases, the interior of the room is also complemented by shelves.
Steam room. The most important room in any bathhouse is the steam room. After all, this is where all the main processes take place. Often inside this room there is a stove or fireplace. In addition to them, there should be many other little things in the room. First of all, these are lounge chairs and shelves.

One shelf should accommodate a full-length person. This is important, otherwise the rest will be uncomfortable.

To understand what you should focus on when arranging a bathhouse, you can consider several interesting layout examples:

A simple two-room option. To save space, you can opt for a regular bathhouse, consisting of two rooms - a steam room and a dressing room. The plan for such a building is very simple. The bathhouse space is divided into two main rooms: a steam room and a dressing room. There is a place to store things in the dressing room. If necessary, you can also place a table with chairs there to relax with company during the cold season. At the exit from the bathhouse it is worth setting up a terrace where chairs can be taken out in the summer. As for the steam room, for convenience it is divided by a partition into a steam room and a sink. In this situation, inside the bathhouse there will be a place for everything you need and there will be no unnecessary parts.

With an attic. Another option for a small area is a building supplemented with an attic. In fact, this is an inferior second floor. Therefore, adding an attic to an ordinary bathhouse is not as expensive as it seems at first glance. And at the same time, arranging an attic is very beneficial for the owners of the site, since they do not have to bother with constantly moving furniture out onto the terrace or into the yard. As a rule, if the bathhouse is supplemented with an attic, there is either a relaxation area or a place to store things. This is also very beneficial because when the seating area is located separately, steam from the main room does not penetrate there and does not damage furniture and finishing materials.

Finally, it is worth additionally mentioning some points that are important to consider during construction.

Features of accommodation. A lot depends on where the steam room will be located. Experts recommend placing the building on a small hill and at least eight meters from houses. Also, you cannot install a bathhouse next to ponds or wells. The structure should be no closer than fifteen meters from the reservoir and five meters from the hand-dug well. The bathhouse should be separated from the road by at least 10 meters, and from the fence by at least three. Also, there should be no flammable materials or structures nearby. But trees, bushes and even hedges can be planted next to the bathhouse.

Priming. It is also important what kind of soil the building is built on. Ideally, the soil should not be prone to moisture accumulation. Heaving soil is not suitable at all. If necessary, a platform can be compacted under the site for building a bathhouse by filling it with a mixture of gravel and sand.
By the way, special attention should be paid to the floors in the bath. It's best to make them double. If you lay insulation between two layers of flooring, it will be much more comfortable to relax in the rooms.
