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. Appearance free market construction 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, winter period this 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 do not 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 far as 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 rooms everything that without which they do not make sense at all.
Bathroom according to an individual project
Your home is another matter. Rules modern design bathrooms in the house say that the bathrooms, designed according to individual projects, are not much different from a city apartment, except that they have more spacious rooms.
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 so that wastewater flows freely through 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 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.
When buying a city apartment, a person also buys a bathroom with it, 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 can be as comfortable as possible. in the best possible way retained 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 individual project, then in contrast to standard premises 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 additional problem, associated with the need for its insulation and heating. If the bathroom is not warm enough, then you are not far from catching a cold.
Bathroom insulation
Materials such as mineral wool, foam plastic or cork can be used as insulation. 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 option The 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 with, in addition, electricity is the most expensive type 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.

Arranging a bathroom in an apartment is inferior in terms of possibilities to installing a bathroom in a private house. Firstly, a private house has a large free space, rather than city apartment. Secondly, many houses are built according to a design project and therefore, already at the construction stage, the required dimensions and number of bathrooms in the future home are laid out.
Bathroom project in a private cottage
For owners of country private houses, the problem of arranging water supply and sewerage is very often urgent. City residents avoid these difficulties, because centralized systems always at hand. And outside the city, as a rule, you cannot do without creating your own autonomous systems. First, let's look at the design of the water supply system.
First of all, it is determined which water supply system is more appropriate in a particular area. Modern equipment will help with the construction of any systems. If it is more profitable to make your own well, please, if a well is best suited - and there will be an assistant for him. The main thing in this matter is to weigh the pros and cons, and it is best to invite specialists.
installation of communications in the bathroom Equipment such as a pumping station will help organize water supply to the bathroom, and will do it without human help - in automatic mode. All a person needs to do is turn on the water. Such a unit is not too demanding in its location, so there should be no problems with installation.
After organizing the water supply, you can think about heating the water. In this case, you must select either electric water heaters, or heaters operating on a different principle, for example gas. Dual-circuit heating installations are becoming increasingly popular, which allow you to “kill two birds with one stone”: they are used to provide heating and hot water supply.
When all the issues regarding the water supply to the house have been resolved, it’s time to think about drainage; a toilet and bathroom in a private building cannot do without it.
Water supply scheme for a private cottage Each owner needs to decide which sewerage system is most suitable for their home. You will have to choose from a regular fecal pit and a septic tank. It is a depression dug in the ground, lined with bricks.
A septic tank consists of lifting tanks that form a kind of filtration system Wastewater. Thanks to it, water purified from large parts goes into the ground.
The septic tank has a longer service life and versatility relative to the type of soil available on the site.
Ultimately, all that remains is to lay a pipeline between all components of the water supply and sewerage system and the bathroom in country house it will be ready with your own hands.
Bathroom ventilation
Bathroom ventilation in own home It has important for the comfort of the people living in it. Thanks to ventilation, moist air is removed from the room outside.
ventilation diagram for the bathroom and the whole house If we omit this moment, then in the room I will be created ideal conditions for the formation of mold and mildew, which can lead to damage to interior items and other components of the room, and can also cause health problems for household members.

There are several options for ventilation in a private house - natural and forced ventilation. The easiest way to arrange natural ventilation in the room with your own hands. It is created by organizing two holes in the ceiling, one of which will serve to remove moist air, and the second to supply fresh air. This type of ventilation can lead to excessive cooling of the room during cold periods.
In order to prevent excess circulation, the hood or air supply is equipped with an adjustable damper, which will ensure, if necessary, ideal conditions in the room.
Various types bathroom fans Forced ventilation differs from the type described above in that it includes a fan installed on one of the ducts.
With help forced ventilation it is possible to organize ventilation of the entire house, thanks to which all rooms will be created optimal conditions for accommodation.
Layout of a bathroom in a private house
In order to make a bathroom in the house, you need to know the recommended sizes of bathrooms. The dimensions of a bathroom in a private house should be no less than:
- 4 sq. m in the case of a combined bathroom;
- 3 sq. m in case separate location bathroom
The layout of a bathroom in a private house most often involves its location near the sleeping areas. If the house has more than two floors, then for convenience it is best to have several bathrooms.
Layout of a small bathroom in a cottage At the stage of designing a house, it is necessary to provide required amount free space in the bathroom, based on the items located there. If the planning is done correctly, then problems should not arise in the future.
How to make a bathroom in a private house
Among the features of bathrooms in private houses, one can note the fact that at least one wall will be in contact with the street, while in city apartments, as a rule, bathrooms border on the entrance.
As a result, the premises have different temperature conditions. Considering this feature, it is necessary to carry out a number of measures at the finishing stage in order to organize a warm and cozy room. As a rule, you can limit yourself to one of them, for example, to properly insulate the walls outside the building and the ceiling inside it.
You can also insulate the floor of the room by installing a “warm floor” system. If both were used to insulate the room, then there is no need to worry about a violation of the thermal regime.
Original interior bathroom in a private house It is worth noting that the usual apartment buildings heated towel rails can also insulate the bathroom. Then you will probably not be disturbed by condensation on the walls formed due to cold walls, as well as mold and mildew, for which there is not enough warm atmosphere the rooms are an ideal place.
In order to solve the question of how to insulate a bathroom, you need to deal with existing insulation. You can insulate the room using mineral wool, glass wool or plaster with water-repellent properties.
To stay safe in a wet bathroom environment, it is very important to ensure the right conditions operation of electrical appliances, which consists of organizing a protective grounding loop.
It is mandatory to use residual current devices (RCDs), which will prevent electric shock to a person. If you don’t have enough experience to do this work yourself, it’s best to turn to specialists, because this is a very crucial moment.
The main difference between a bathroom in a high-rise building and a private house is, of course, the layout.
Therefore, it is not surprising that a DIY bathroom in a private house will turn out to be much more interesting, and the owners themselves will be able to get much more from the room than city residents. Let's figure out what kind of private housing that requires the arrangement of a full bathroom we can talk about.
Firstly, this:
- Houses old building(at least 40 years old) who initially did not have a separate room for a bathroom;
- houses whose age ranges from 30 to 10 years;
- modern houses (cottages, townhouses).
Secondly, let's clarify which rooms are intended for the location of the bathroom in the houses we indicated:
- in old houses this is:
- storerooms;
- part of the corridor or kitchen;
- veranda;
- places under the stairs to the second floor
- attic space;
- in younger houses:
- place on ground floor, including a built-in garage;
- expandable bathroom space by connecting neighboring rooms(corridor, hallway, veranda);
- major renovation of an existing bathroom;
- second floor and attic;
- in modern houses:
- Creation comfortable conditions in a dedicated bathroom area;
- moving the bathroom to another room.
Thirdly, you need to understand what materials the house is made of, because the use of this or that technology depends on this:
- brick;
- tree;
- combination various materials(foam block + brick, wood + brick, shell rock + concrete, steel + concrete, etc.).
For private houses, what is more important is not the secrecy of communications, but reliable protection from freezing. Therefore, pay more attention to insulation and protective devices for mains with water supply.
These are just a few of the factors that you should know before planning a bathroom in a private home. As can be seen from the list, in most cases we are talking about initially unsuitable places in which a bathroom will be created with your own hands in a private house.
What you need to focus on
In addition to the work itself functional arrangement bathroom, owners will need to take additional measures related to:
- arrangement of water supply and sewerage;
- equipment;
- carrying out waterproofing works;
- decorative finishing of floors, walls, etc.
Warning!
Many city dwellers, having experience in renovating city apartments, mistakenly believe that a bathroom in a private house will be just as predictable in terms of construction operations.
But this is fundamentally wrong, since the plumbing rooms of apartments are fully adapted to connecting utilities, unlike individual houses.
Let's find out what is needed for a full-fledged bathroom from the point of view of building regulations:
- availability of hot and cold water sources in the bathroom;
- equipping the premises with a water drainage system (sewer drain);
- Availability ;
- equipping with lighting devices;
- availability of comfortable plumbing.
As you can see, in comparison with city apartments, private houses least meet the primary requirements, which means that all these concerns about arranging the premises fall entirely on the shoulders of their owners.
Of course, if a bathroom in a private house is being renovated, then the issues of water supply and sewerage have already been resolved. In such a situation, it is more important to conduct an audit of the technical condition utility networks, and pay more attention to remodeling or installing new plumbing, as well as finishing walls and ceilings in accordance with the tastes of the owners.
Development of new places in a private house
We welcome modern approach regarding the fact that in a private house the bathroom can be anywhere. A best place for her, the proximity to the master bedroom is considered.
If it is located on the 1st floor, then the bathroom should also be here, if on the second, then all communications should be laid on the 2nd floor.
Bathroom with windows on the first floor
Deciding to refurbish your bathroom is a bold step, but not yet an action. The fact that your bathroom in a private house will be different from its counterparts in a city high-rise is very cool, but you should add a lot of patience to this when carrying out repair and construction work.
Moreover, all the disadvantages open communications in a private home it is easy to turn into advantages. For example, room equipment exhaust ventilation it is not necessary to carry out terrible-looking corrugated ventilation ducts. Today there are many elegant solutions, one of which is shown in the photo below.
Or cold and hot water supply pipes - why hide them in the walls when you can make them part of the design. The result will be a minimum of work associated with cutting channels in the walls, which will significantly speed up the arrangement of the bathroom.
Having laid on open area copper pipes to the washbasin and bathtub, you will get a unique design.
If you don’t like to look at pipes, fittings and any other plumbing fittings, then it’s easy to build a portal under the bathroom, inside which everyone will hide engineering Communication. Do the same with ventilation - plasterboard ceiling will also hide the air ducts.
Let's summarize.
A bathroom in your own home is:
- unique layout;
- higher functionality;
- demonstrating the virtues of open communication;
- the ability to create closed portals, podiums, etc.
Gallery
A bathroom in a private house is an opportunity to create something more than what is usually found in an apartment. It can be furnished completely as you wish, providing enough space for creativity and incorporating elements that simply would not fit in a cramped apartment.
The modern design of a bathroom in a home begins to take shape already at the design stages. Even before building a house, you can choose the size of the premises, focusing on the necessary parameters.
Communications
In order to make a bathroom in a private house, you need to install many pipes through which the water will rise and go. The difficulty in installing communications for homeowners is that everything needs to be done from scratch.
If in apartments it is enough to connect to existing systems, then a new water supply system needs to be laid in the house and a drainage system must be organized.
However, there are also advantages, for example, when organizing your own well, the owner ceases to depend on housing and communal services for water.
In order to make a bathroom in a private house with several floors, you need to purchase a powerful pumping station. Powered by electricity, it will quickly raise water to the desired area.
In order for hot water to appear in the tap, you need to choose a heating system. If you select simple system heating, then only hot water will appear in the house.
But if you make an effort and spend more money, you can combine heating and hot water, simultaneously making the floor in the bathroom heated.
Water drainage
Without a competent water removal system, all the work will be done in vain. Since toilets and bathtubs need to dispose of water somewhere, they won't work without draining.
For homeowners located far from a sewer line, there are two types of systems, fecal pit and septic.
The first method was known to our ancestors. It involves digging a deep hole in the ground. For strength, the walls are reinforced with a metal sleeve or lined with brick.
A septic system is a set of treatment plants that will release into the soil only liquid that has been cleared of large inclusions.
Ventilation
Ventilation in the bathroom must work well. Otherwise, fungi and mold will constantly appear in it.
The most in a simple way organizing ventilation in your own home is the creation natural system air circulation.
To create it, you need the ceiling in the bathroom to have two holes. Through the first one will arrive Fresh air, and through the second, moisture is removed.
Also good decision there will be a window installed in the bathroom, if conditions allow, then permanently open window will create healthy circulation.
However, this method is only suitable for relatively warm areas. If you leave the window open for sufficient big minus, you can not only get sick, but also damage the water supply system.
You can get rid of this danger and improve air flow by installing a hood in the bathroom. Such ventilation will allow you to organize a constant temperature in the room, remove excess moisture and odor and prevent the appearance of mold and fungi.
Layout
For a comfortable existence, everyone needs enough space. Therefore, you should not make the bathroom in a private house, the photo of which can be found below, too small. The minimum area is considered to be 4 square meters. m.
Also, you should not place the bathroom on the other side of the building relative to the bedroom. It is much more comfortable when you don’t have to go far in the morning or at night to wash or take a bath.
It is worth choosing the location of elements and components when drawing up a house project. It is necessary to choose the right places for the drainage communications to exit.
Peculiarities
In a private house, the bathroom is almost always located so that one of the walls is aligned with the street.
To avoid the formation excess condensate and no additional difficulties arise, it is advisable to organize an additional layer of insulation in this area.
When choosing suitable system heating water, possible without special costs organize a heated floor.
Do not forget about protecting electrical circuits and electrical appliances from moisture.
Appearance
In order for going to the bathroom or simply brushing your teeth to bring positive emotions, you need to organize a pleasant design.
The characteristics of the indoor environment require that all surfaces be easy to clean and non-porous. The most common solution is to use tiles.
But in order to do appearance more modern, can be purchased plastic panels. Their a large assortment includes not only different colors, but there are also models with original drawings.
Photo of a bathroom in a private house
Until recently, making a bathroom in wooden house it was impossible. High humidity and heat air in a very short time rendered any repair unusable. But today, the variety of modern building materials made this problem less pressing. Information on how to properly arrange a bathroom in a wooden house, what materials allow renovation work quickly and efficiently, it will become very useful for those who set out to have such a blessing of civilization as a bathroom in a private wooden house.
Water supply installation
Choosing a method for draining water from the bathroom takes special meaning when it comes to the fact that the house is built from wooden beam. The fact is that log house gives quite a large shrinkage. This feature must be taken into account when designing and installing a water supply system.
For these purposes it is better to use metal-plastic pipes, since they are the most resistant to deformation. The laid pipeline must be secured with special rubberized clips or clamps for plumbing elements. Also, do not forget about protecting the pipeline from low temperatures. For this purpose it is used heat insulating material, which covers not only the pipes, but also the base of the floor in the bathroom.
Wood surfaces do not tolerate moisture very well - this is a fact. In order to protect the bathroom floor from premature deterioration, it is worth installing a special drain valve that will allow accumulated moisture to be drained into the sewer.
The best system for draining water in a wooden house will be drain with dry shutter. He is plastic float, which blocks the drain hole after water has drained. This device is best suited for a bathroom in a wooden house in the country. It perfectly protects not only from accumulation excess moisture, but also from penetration unpleasant odors from the sewer to the interior.
Attention ! Assuming the presence of such a drain in the bathroom, the floor is laid at a slight slope.
Bathroom waterproofing
To prevent moisture from the bathroom from penetrating into the living areas wooden house, it is imperative to carry out waterproofing work, thereby creating a certain protective barrier from steam and moisture.
Waterproofing a bathroom in a wooden house requires compliance certain rules. Before you begin finishing the bathroom with waterproofing materials, the walls, ceiling, and floor must be cleaned and leveled.
The best protection against moisture is provided by roofing felt, liquid glass and self-leveling polymer floors. Installation of waterproofing the floor and ceiling of a bathroom in a wooden house should be carried out in one step.
Let's look at the two most popular ways to waterproof a room in a wooden house:
- Treatment of surfaces with special moisture-proof mixtures, which after drying form a durable, waterproof film;
- Installation roll material, forming a durable waterproofing layer. To prevent moisture from seeping through the seams of the material laid in rows, the canvases should be laid overlapping.
Attention ! If used as waterproofing polyethylene film, it is laid in several layers over the entire area of the room.
When waterproofing a bathroom floor, wood flooring cover with a fairly dense layer bitumen mastic, on which they lay waterproofing material. You definitely need to know that the main condition for carrying out waterproofing work in the bathroom is that the floor level in this room should be lower than in other rooms.
After the waterproofing has been laid, if necessary, a reinforcing mesh is laid, which is covered with insulation. The final stage is pouring cement concrete screed.
It is quite possible to do all the work on your own. The main thing is not to rush and strictly adhere to the work algorithm.
Bathroom ventilation
The most the best solution installation of ventilation for a bathroom in a wooden house supply and exhaust system. The installation technology is quite simple and quite accessible for DIY.
Let's consider step by step instructions arrangement of ventilation in the bathroom:
- Two air duct pipes are installed along the perimeter of the base of the future ceiling, one of which provides air inflow, and the other - its outlet.
- In each pipe, in the corners of the bathroom, special funnels are made, in one of which a fan will be installed in the future, and the second is closed with a decorative grille.
There are no special subtleties in the work, the main thing is to do everything carefully and strictly follow the prescribed plan.
Floor finishing
Wood, of course, differs in structure from brick or concrete blocks. Therefore, finishing a bathroom in a wooden house has its own specifics. You need to understand that the weight of plumbing elements is not constant. For example, a bathtub filled with water changes its mass, and the load on the floors of the house changes accordingly. Even if the bath is located on the first floor, such changes in loads can affect the integrity and density of the wooden floors.
In order to avoid a rather rapid destruction of the house, it is necessary to provide for the following nuances at the design stage:
- the thickness of the floors increases by 25%;
- cross-sectional area increases load-bearing beams;
- installation of beams is carried out in smaller increments and at a level of 20 cm lower than usual.
These conditions are mandatory, since the floor of a bathroom in a wooden house, in addition to a concrete screed and a waterproofing layer, is covered with tiles. If you do not take into account the necessary parameters for laying load-bearing beams and floors, you may end up with a discrepancy between the floor level of the bathroom and other living spaces.
As flooring In addition to ceramic tiles, you can use linoleum, moisture resistant laminate, especially durable wood species, cork or mosaic.
Wall decoration
When thinking about how to cover a bathroom in a wooden house, you should take into account the specifics of the construction of the house and characteristics The main construction material is wood. It is important to remember that constant temperature changes, high humidity greatly affects the structure of wood. It can dry out or, on the contrary, crack, gaining moisture.
All this leads to quite serious troubles, in the form of deformation of the walls and distortion of the geometry of the entire room. To avoid such moments, before you start finishing wooden walls bathroom, a protective false wall is attached to them, and only then finishing material.
Drywall is a good base for decor. False walls mounted from this material are perfect for any decoration. The only exception when the walls do not need to be covered with plasterboard is when the walls are covered with clapboard.
Very often an independent structure on a special moving frame is used. For this purpose it is used metallic profile, which is attached to the wall with movable connectors. This method is very relevant for finishing wooden walls, since when the main structure shrinks, only the wooden walls move, and the lined surface remains indestructible.
Important ! When installing false walls, do not forget about the presence of a certain air gap between the wooden walls and the mounted tiled surface. It is necessary for natural ventilation and prevents the formation of condensation.
A good option would be to decorate wooden bathroom walls using a combined method. It involves finishing the walls with ceramic tiles in places closest to the water, and with other finishing materials in the remaining area. You can combine materials in a variety of planes. Alternate decor from the ceiling to the middle of the wall, and then to the floor. Or combine several finishing materials on two halves of the wall.
When choosing materials for finishing a bathroom in a wooden house, you should definitely take into account resistance to moisture, chemicals and household chemicals. detergents. Traditionally used ceramic tile, mosaic, porcelain tiles, lining. The option cannot be ruled out when the walls remain in their original form. Only in this case they must be impregnated with moisture-proof compounds.
The interior of a bathroom in a wooden house can be decorated in a wide variety of styles. Interiors in the style of Provence, classic, minimalism and eco-style look most advantageous.
Ceiling finishing
The ceiling in a bathroom in a wooden house should have the following characteristics:
- do not allow moisture to pass through;
- be resistant to fire;
- absorb extraneous sounds;
- do not emit unpleasant odors and substances.
Most the best option who answers everyone necessary requirements, is suspended ceiling. In addition to excellent consumer qualities, it successfully hides all communications and a sufficient number of ventilation holes can be installed in it.
The choice of style, color and texture of the ceiling in the bathroom is limited only by personal taste and financial capabilities.
Bathroom lighting
Practical, modern and economical lamps that are most suitable for a bathroom in a wooden house are halogen spotlights. They provide good lighting over the entire surface and are very convenient to install at any point on the ceiling, thereby zoning the bathroom space.
Important ! All wiring must be reliably protected from moisture.
Selection of plumbing
A responsible, but very pleasant stage, signaling that the repair work is at the finish line. For the bathroom of a wooden house there are practically no restrictions on the installation of any plumbing equipment. Minimum set necessary elements consists of: washbasin, bathtub or shower, toilet (if the bathroom is combined). When choosing plumbing elements, you need to take into account only their weight, since large loads on wooden floors Houses.
Conclusion
Today, having a bathroom in a wooden house is not a luxury, it is required condition comfortable stay. To set it up, you don’t need to overcome super-complicated tasks. It is enough to adhere to a clear sequence of work, take your time, control the quality of the materials used and take into account their compatibility with the main material for building a house - wood.
