Bath Viktor Maslov how to get treatment. Maslov's Russian bath: principle of operation, design and finishing options

The traditional Russian bath has long ceased to be the only possible option. A lot of modern analogues appeared, such as the bathhouse of the nuclear physicist V. Maslov. The design he developed combines all the best from the Finnish, Russian and Turkish baths, without having their shortcomings. It was Maslov who at one time came to the conclusion that the thermal energy emitted by the loungers, walls and floors made of ceramic or natural stone provides the most gentle heating.

The main feature of such a bath is the ability to maintain almost any required temperature. A special heat generator provides a climate that is suitable for any visitor to the bath - from an experienced bath attendant to a child or a person with a heart condition.

Here is a typical set of such a bath:

• heat generator (it performs the functions of a furnace);
• ventilation system;
• shower.

Maslov's bath is an insulated metal frame finished with heat-resistant panels. These panels are stacked in two layers. Inside the bath, temperature sensors are installed and a special heating cable is laid. The final layer of interior decoration is a galvanized mesh, covered with a layer of waterproofing and a heat-resistant mortar.

Such deep heating is achieved through the use of natural stone. After all, it is this material that allows a person to get the maximum benefit, but not only from heat, but also from the stone itself. The ceramics used in the construction of the bath must meet certain requirements - it must be natural and made without the use of harmful impurities.

Note! Sunbeds in this case are also special. They are divided into three sections - for the legs, torso and, therefore, the head. Separate temperature sensors are installed in each section.

Another design feature is ventilation, which supports various operating modes. It plays a significant role in creating the necessary microclimate, which is required for a particular mode.

In this bath, the human body is subjected to a special heating, which is different from the traditional Russian steam room. The bioresonance thermal energy coming from sunbeds and walls is very similar to a human one in its spectrum.

Note! Due to the special design of the bath, the body is heated evenly from all sides at once. Actually, this is the healing "secret" of Maslov's design - soft all-round heating.

The special heating described in the previous paragraph of the article occurs at a fairly low temperature - no more than 50ᵒС, and the humidity at this time fluctuates between 15% and 50%. In view of this, it is quite easy to breathe in the steam room, no heat is felt - only cozy soft warmth. You will be surprised, but even in such conditions a person sweats profusely, no worse than in a regular sauna, but at the same time he gets much more pleasure.

But if for some reason this “climate” does not suit you, then you can increase the temperature or humidity. It is not for nothing that Maslov's bath is considered universal - everyone can bathe in it, up to a child or a pregnant woman.

As already mentioned, in such a bath, heating occurs due to special infrared panels installed under the cladding. These waves have a positive effect on the body, which has been repeatedly proven by medical research.

The temperature of each of the panels is regulated separately. In the course of the same medical research, it turned out that the optimal temperature for the body is 37-40ᵒС, walls and ceiling - 45-55ᵒС, and loungers - 45-50ᵒС.

It is worth noting that using such infrared panels, you will save at least a third on electricity (when compared with traditional heating systems).

The heat generator is the heart of Maslov's bath

To be honest, Maslov's bath is able to perfectly "cope" even without steam. In this case, everything is like in a Finnish bath with its low level of humidity. If you miss the good old Russian bath - start the heat generator. This is a small-sized device of a rectangular shape, inside of which there are thermal accumulator stones. To heat the stones to the required temperature, heating elements made of steel are used.

Many people mistakenly believe that a room is heated with the help of a heat generator. In fact, this is not so, the device only produces steam. This is extremely simple: if necessary, to increase the humidity, pour a ladle of water onto the hot stones of the heat generator. So the humidity can be increased even to the limit of 100%, it all depends on the amount of water splashed out at a time.

In fact, Maslov's bath is just one room - a kind of bath-shower room, vaguely reminiscent of a Turkish hammam. All surfaces in it are covered with ceramic tiles, glass or natural stone. Near the lounger there is a shower so that a person can comfortably wash in a sitting or lying position. Cleaning the steam room is extremely simple thanks to a specially installed waste drain on the floor.

Do-it-yourself Maslova bath - is it possible?

Such a bath can be built only if the installation technology of this structure is completely recreated. To do this, you need to purchase original heating elements and electrical panels. The only company on the market that has a patent for the production of Maslov's baths is Maslov's Baths LLC (www.bani-maslova.ru). Do not change components with anything else, otherwise the wiring may not withstand high voltage, which can lead to a fire. These elements were developed by Maslov personally, they are characterized by complete safety and low power consumption. These are their main advantages.

After purchasing the necessary electrical equipment, it will be necessary to install it in accordance with the design of the room. As you probably noticed, the bath we are describing has a rather complex design, so if you are not confident in your abilities, then do not engage in amateur activities, but seek help from Maslova Baths LLC.

Construction technology

And now a brief instruction for the daredevils who decided to build a bathhouse with their own hands.

1. To begin with, build a frame structure made of metal that is not subject to corrosion. Install thermal and waterproofing.
2. Then sew up the frame with two layers of plaster wall panels. This material (gypsum) is characterized by resistance to moisture and elevated temperatures.
3. Fasten temperature sensors and heat-resistant cable elements to the casing.
4. Cover the structure with an iron mesh (only galvanized).
5. Apply a layer of heat-resistant plaster to the surface.
6. After the plaster has dried, install a layer of waterproofing material.
7. The best material for lining Maslov's bath is natural stone (such as, for example, marble, soapstone and others). If you finish the steam room with one of these materials, then it will acquire healing properties, largely thanks to the stones.
8. Divide the loungers into three zones (they have already been mentioned earlier) and install temperature sensors in each of them.
9. Use a sheet of tempered tinted glass as a door. Door frames can be used both wooden and iron.
10. Install a ventilation system in the steam room (it has a very complex structure and will provide different modes). For the dressing room, an ordinary hood is suitable. When installing ventilation, use plastic boxes with a diameter of 12.5 cm.

Note! Be sure to equip the ventilation with an electrically operated throttle valve, as well as a special condensate trap.

1. Also buy a special heating element that will be used to heat the stones. Such a heating element should be equipped with a double shell. The device itself must be made of heat-resistant stainless steel.
2. Install the heating element on the wall about one and a half meters from the floor, line it with special refractory ceramic tiles.

Everything, you can safely begin operation.

Note! Such heat generators (heaters) are not only extremely efficient and economical. Their design is such that it completely eliminates the burning of aromatic oil and burns.

Operation features

It takes only an hour and a half to fully warm up the room. It is characteristic that during this time no more than three kilowatts of electricity are consumed. To heat a steam room with an area of ​​2.5 m², another four kilowatts are needed - this is half as much as when heating the same steam room with a simple electric stove.

Heating in the sauna can be turned on remotely - via a mobile phone, the duration is set using a special timer. But the main feature of such a bath can be considered the fact that it can be adjusted.

It is for this reason that inveterate bathers, and admirers of moderate temperature - no more than + 55ᵒС, and people who are generally prohibited from overheating - children, the elderly, pregnant women, etc., feel great in the Maslov bath. Also in this bath in any case, there should be a drain for water and salvo ventilation.

Created by analogy with a vaulted Russian stove, the Maslova bath combines all the advantages of traditional types of baths, but at the same time it is devoid of their disadvantages. Comfortable, multifunctional, having a unique therapeutic effect, it is considered the best invention in this field over the past hundred years. The scientist-physicist Viktor Maslov designed and developed its design, combining traditions with scientific achievements.

In appearance, Maslov's bath resembles a hammam, but in fact it has significant differences. In this bath, all surfaces are heated, including the ceiling, the temperature regime is set separately for each part of the room. Thanks to a special steam generator and heat cables, the steam room is heated evenly and quickly. Even at low temperatures (40-45°C) you can fully warm up and sweat in just 20 minutes. At the same time, it is easy to breathe in the bath, the head does not hurt, there is no load on the heart. The Maslova bath is suitable for everyone - from lovers of a hot Russian steam bath to babies and pregnant women, people with poor health.

Another feature of the RBM is the ventilation system. It has several modes of operation, and for each of them creates its own microclimate. The air in the steam room is regularly updated, so even with a long stay there is no feeling of heaviness or discomfort, as happens when visiting a regular bath. The steam room heats up in just 1-1.5 hours, unlike the Turkish and Russian baths.

Comparison of electricity costs and the scheme of the bath

Advantages

healing effect. Deep and uniform heating of the body, which is performed by means of infrared radiation, soft and bioresonant, helps to get rid of many diseases, from the common cold to chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Regular visits to such a bath strengthens a weakened body, promotes skin rejuvenation, and increases vitality.

Hygiene. The internal lining of the bathhouse consists entirely of ceramics, natural stone or glass mosaic, so you can clean it with any disinfectants. This finish does not absorb moisture, does not change color, does not rot, favorably differing from the wood used in a traditional bath.

Fire safety. In the process of building a bath, only fireproof materials are used, heating panels are installed under a layer of lining, the temperature is strictly controlled by sensors. Due to this, the need for fire extinguishing systems is completely eliminated.

Air purity. Regardless of the temperature and humidity conditions, the air in the steam room always remains fresh and clean. Conventional metal stoves, when heating a bath, emit the smallest particles of rust, dust, as well as a certain amount of carbon monoxide from burning out oxygen. The heat generator created by Maslov is devoid of such shortcomings and ensures that the steam room is filled with light and clean superheated steam.

Ease of use. The heating of the room is carried out very quickly, and the control is carried out using sensors. To heat up the bath, you need to turn on the touch panel and select the mode. If desired, the RBM is equipped with a remote control and connects to a tablet or phone.

The first thing that strikes is the controllability of the modes, as well as the remote control tablet itself.

Various temperature conditions.

Using the control panel, one of the presented thermal modes is selected.

By switching modes, it is easy to choose the optimal temperature for each family member, including babies.

Wide installation options. In the RBM, the steam room is also a washing room, as it is equipped with a drain drain and shower faucets. Such a layout significantly saves space, and therefore you can install a bath even in an ordinary apartment, in the attic or in the basement of a private house, in a spa or fitness center.

Maslov's bath does not need a large room

Maslov's bath is a spacious cabin equipped with heating elements with temperature and humidity sensors. The cabin frame is made of stainless steel, which is covered with a layer of thermal insulation and vapor-tight material. From the inside, the bath is sheathed with two layers of gypsum panels with increased resistance to moisture. A heat-resistant heating cable is attached to the panels, assembled for convenience in sections, wires are laid and control sensors are connected. From above, all this is sheathed with a galvanized steel mesh, on which a layer of heat-resistant cement-based plaster is applied. After drying, the surface is treated with deep penetration waterproofing compounds.

The interior of the cabin includes one or two anatomically shaped loungers, a shower, a special heater-thermos and a drain ladder. Additionally, ergonomic chairs, an ice maker and a pouring bucket, foot baths and a massage shower can be installed. The surface of the shelves is divided into three parts - for the head, body and legs, and each of them has its own sensors and heating elements.

Finishing - mostly natural materials: soapstone, shungite and marble, jadeite and basalt, as well as ceramic tiles, glass mosaics.

Interior and procedures in the BSR

The adhesive mixtures with which the cladding is attached must necessarily be resistant to moisture and high temperatures. The entrance door for a bath is usually made of tempered glass with a tinted coating, the door frame can be either wooden or metal. The control panel of the bath is taken out of it, into a separate technical room, and the screen for selecting modes is usually mounted on the wall of the dressing room.

The interior of the bath (waiting room)

Lighting and ventilation

To illuminate the bath, 12 V halogen sealed lamps are usually used. To make the light in the steam room muffled and promote relaxation, the lamps, when mounted on the ceiling, are covered with special screens with small holes.

If the lighting is mounted on the walls, recesses are first made under the bulbs. Additionally, you can install devices for lighting effects or sound background. Pleasant light music and dim light help the body to relax faster, get rid of extraneous thoughts and negative emotions for a while.

The device of the ventilation system provides several operating modes during the operation of the bath:

• forced ventilation of the steam room during heating and massage;
• overlapping of an exhaust opening in the course of soaring;
• volley ventilation for airing the room after bath procedures.

For air inflow into the steam room, a ventilation hole is made from the dressing room or a wide gap is left at the bottom of the door.

At the same time, exhaust ventilation must be equipped in the dressing room itself. When entering the dressing room, the air passes through a special low-temperature heater made of ceramics. This ensures normal air exchange in the room without lowering the temperature. The ventilation system must be equipped with a throttle valve and a condensate collector.

Infrared long-wave panels are used to heat the cab. The case has a rectangular shape, on the back there is heat-reflecting insulation (mainly penofol). The working surface of the panels warms up to 50-60°C, which corresponds to the temperature of a bed of a well-heated Russian stove.

The wavelength of these devices has the most beneficial effect on the human body. Each panel is equipped with a multi-channel thermostat with sensors that allow you to set the temperature with an accuracy of 1 degree. Each section of the steam room has its own temperature range:

• sun loungers, seats - from 41 to 43 ° С;
• backs of loungers - from 43 to 46 ° C;
• walls from the floor to the middle - 45-50 ° C;
• the upper part of the walls - from 55 to 60 ° C;
• slopes - from 60 to 70 ° С;
• ceiling - from 65 to 80 ° С;
• flooring - from 35 to 40 ° C.

The specifications for wiring in the RBM should be exactly the same as for a standard kitchen with an electric stove. In the steam room heating mode, the power consumption is 3 kW for a single cabin and 10.5 kW for a 5 m2 cabin. Approximately 300 W are consumed in standby mode, when operating a steam room, consumption rises to 2 kW. Compared to an electric heater used in a steam room of the same size, infrared panels are much more economical.

It takes about 1.5 hours to warm up the bath, and the heaters are running at full power all this time. As soon as the temperature reaches the set value, the power consumption is reduced. The thermostat maintains the temperature automatically, and by setting the parameters, you can safely enjoy bath procedures. The control interface is very simple, the choice of modes is carried out by touching the icons on the display with your finger.

The popularity of the RBM contributed to the creation and development of panels heated by water - Maslov's aquapanels.

They have a rectangular shape, are filled with water through a small hole in the lower part, and are conveniently attached to flat surfaces. Dural is used for manufacturing. It is easier to mount such panels than electric ones, they do not require additional waterproofing, the cladding can be mounted directly on duralumin with heat-resistant glue.

Thanks to the creation of aquapanels, it became possible to equip mobile baths on wheels, where the heat carrier is heated by a diesel stove.

But even for stationary conditions, mobile baths are an excellent solution - now it will not be difficult to assemble the RBM in an apartment or a private house. When installing such panels on the ceiling and walls, you can use heat-resistant wood or bamboo as the lining for the bath. At the same time, the floor and deck chairs are still lined with ceramics.

Heat generator device

Heat generator - photo

The heaters used in the Maslov bath were designed specifically for such cabins. They received the name "HeatGenerator", abbreviated - "ZHG". It is a double metal container with heating elements and stones laid on top.

ZhG does not heat the room, because there is no need for it, but only produces steam. The inner tank is protected by a thick layer of insulation, so the outer walls do not heat up above 65°C. The dimensions of the heat generator and the power of the heating element are selected depending on the size of the RBM. You can put two in one steam room at once, configured for different temperature conditions. Then, at the request of steamers, they can receive steam that differs in temperature and humidity.

To get "light" steam, that is, very superheated, a steel funnel is installed between the stones of the heat generator, where water is poured in small portions. Water falls to the bottom of the hot tank and begins to boil and evaporate, and the steam, passing between the metal elements and stones, is heated to the required temperature.

In early models of steam generators, iron plates were used along with stones. They were installed close to the heating elements, in the hottest zone, increased the heat capacity of the device and extended its service life.

Scheme of the heat generator in 2002

And yet, cast iron has one significant drawback - it rusts under the influence of steam, and the carbon that is released turns into carbon monoxide during oxidation. All this, together with dust from collapsing stones, enters the air of the steam room. And although the amount of carbon monoxide, dust particles and rust is minimal, the negative impact on the body is still felt, especially with regular visits to the bath. In new modifications of steam generators, cast iron is replaced by stainless steel rods. The rods are located inside special pipes, also made of heat-resistant anti-corrosion steel. A steel sheet with low sides is attached above the pipes, on which stones are laid. To generate superheated steam, a heat dispenser is mounted on one of the pipes inside the housing - a cylindrical stainless steel container equipped with a water seal and a replaceable jet.

The heat generator is attached to one of the walls of the bath at a height of 1.5 m from the floor. So that the steel body of the ZhG does not stand out against the background of the walls, it is lined with ceramic tiles to match the interior.

Do-it-yourself RBM construction

It is not at all easy to build a Maslov bath on your own, because this will require certain skills not only in construction, but also in working with electrical equipment. If you have such skills, and you are eager to create this wonderful bath at home, you will first have to purchase ready-made factory panels for walls, floors and ceilings, as well as a steam generator and other components.

You should buy electrical equipment for the RBM only from a company that owns the rights to manufacture and install it. Only Bani Maslova LLC (www.bani-maslova.ru) has these rights. The company has all the necessary permits and patents for the production and sale of Maslov baths, which guarantees the complete safety of the devices, their efficiency and minimal energy consumption. In addition, all baths ordered from this company undergo an author's check with the inventor, Viktor Valentinovich Maslov. The purchase of analogs of equipment from other manufacturers does not give such a guarantee and may lead to negative consequences, for example, an overload of the electrical network and a fire.

The RBM can be located separately from other buildings, or it can be located directly in the house. The first option will cost more, since it will require the construction of a metal frame with high-quality insulation and waterproofing. Additionally, you will need to bring pipes for water supply and drain, pull electrical wiring. The second option is much more convenient and cheaper, because the bath is located indoors, where wiring and sewerage already exist.

Modular cabins with duralumin aquapanels for individual assembly of baths have standard sizes of 2.2x2.2 m and 1.5x2 m, so they do not take up much space. Most often, a home RBM is equipped in a bathroom or pantry. In addition to the cabin itself, a small area of ​​​​the area will be needed for the technical room where the automation will be located. If the ceiling height is high, you can make a technical area directly above the steam room.

Prices for aquapanels

Step 1. Determine the most optimal option for placing the bath and draw up a drawing. At least 10 cm must be added to the dimensions of the cabin on each side - for heat and waterproofing of the room. For a dressing room, an area of ​​\u200b\u200b1.7x1 m is enough, for a technical room even less. Immediately consider where the shower with mixer and drain will be located in order to minimize the cost of laying additional pipes. That is why the location of the cabin in the bathroom is considered ideal: there is water supply and drainage, ventilation too, there is enough space. In RBM, you can perform any hygiene and SPA procedures, so it completely replaces the bathroom.

Another important element is the sunbed. Depending on the modification of the bath, the cabin is equipped with one or two deck chairs, which are a metal frame with a heated top shield. If desired, you can lay out the base of the lounger from hollow bricks, so the structure will receive additional strength and a more solid appearance after facing.

Faucets should be located on the side of the sun loungers, and the heat generator - between them, on the wall opposite the door. If there is only one sunbed, the heat generator is hung on the opposite wall at a height of 1.5 m.

Step 2 According to the drawing, the exit points of pipes, electric cables and ventilation are marked in the room, holes are drilled in the walls. ½ inch pipes are used for water supply, for drains with a diameter of 50 mm, so the holes must be appropriate.

Step 3 Mark the location of the shelves and lay them out of brick. The shape of the shelves is rectangular, the dimensions are 2.3x0.8x0.7 m and 2.3x0.5x0.7 m. The masonry can be solid or in the form of a bench, when brick blocks are laid out on the sides and connected with metal channels or corners. Another row of bricks goes on top of the metal, and then the whole structure is plastered with cement mortar.

Step 4 Next, the room needs to be completely insulated. The walls and ceiling are sheathed with slabs of basalt insulation or other non-combustible material. From above, all this should be covered with foil, fixed at the seams with aluminum tape. Foil plates are used to insulate the floor, as it will also be heated. When insulating, do not forget to make cutouts in the thermal insulation for holes for pipes, cables and ventilation ducts.

Prices for basalt insulation

Step 5 The panels are unpacked and the cabin is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions, which must be attached to the heating elements. You can pre-assemble the structure in a spacious room by making fasteners in order to more accurately understand its structure. This will help you avoid mistakes and save time. Cables and tubes are brought out to the technical room, a ventilation duct is inserted, a drain is connected to the sewer pipe.

Step 6 Now you can start facing the surfaces with ceramic tiles. Glue must be taken heat-resistant, because the tile will warm up to 50-60 degrees. When lining, observe the uniformity of the seams, because in a small room any defect will be very noticeable. Do not allow adhesive to get on the front of the tile, and if this happens, wipe it off immediately with a clean cloth.

Step 7 On the wall between the sun loungers at a height of 1.5 m from the floor, a heat generator is mounted on brackets, which is also lined with ceramics on the outside. After that, a door leaf made of heat-resistant glass is hung, another ventilation duct with a steam trap and a throttle valve is installed in the dressing room.

Step 8 In the technical area, a cable is connected to the automation for controlling the bath, and it is led out to the power supply panel. The control display is mounted on the wall of the dressing room at eye level. The electrical cable must be connected strictly according to the diagrams that are necessarily attached to the equipment. It is best if an experienced electrician does this, because the slightest inaccuracy can disable the system or cause a short circuit in the network.

Indications and contraindications for the use of RBM

The Maslova bath is able to cure many diseases with the right approach. Testimony to use such a bath are:

• chronic heart disease;
• hypertension in the initial stage;
• bronchitis and pneumonia;
• epilepsy, various neuroses and depression;
• problems in the endocrine system;
• allergies of various types;
• stomach ulcer.

In addition, regular visits to the BSR are recommended for immunocompromised children and pregnant women. Bath procedures with uniform heating of the whole body help to get rid of toxicosis, fetal hypoxia, and help reduce blood loss during childbirth.

Of course, to fully recover, it takes time and patience, in no case should you abuse the bath and stay in it longer than the prescribed period. Particular attention should be paid to contraindications, otherwise, instead of healing, you will get a completely opposite result.

Contraindications:

• all types of acute infectious diseases;
• sharp exacerbations of inflammatory processes;
• problems with cerebral circulation;
• heart attack and related conditions;
• kidney failure;
• stage III hypertension.

Proper use of the Maslova bath will help restore tone, gain energy and just enjoy life.

Today we will visit a very interesting bath, it is named after its creator. This is the Russian bath of Maslov, it differs from all analogues known today.

Let's remember what a bath is. In principle, all of them are based on the principle of heating the body and on, as it were, turning off the thermoregulation system at a certain moment so that a person can warm up. If we take the eastern hammam, then in this case the temperature there is low, about 43-45 degrees. At the same time, air humidity of 99-100% is created, and the recipient of the procedure cannot actually cool his body.

Another extreme option is a dry-air sauna, where the temperature is high. The Finns propose not to raise it above 90 degrees, while the relative humidity drops to almost zero (3-5%). If someone, with such heating, tries to throw a small amount of water on the heater, then he risks getting burned in a closed volume.

The golden mean of all baths is Russian with a temperature of 50 to 60 degrees, the humidity of the air is like that of the environment, we are used to it, that is, from 50 to 65%. It is this atmosphere that is natural for the human body, it allows you to get the maximum wellness procedure about being in the steam room. Most of the baths, for example, in the Moscow region are dry-air saunas.

Many people ask, how is it all different and what can be done to turn the sauna into a Russian bath? In principle, there is nothing complicated. You need to create a certain mode. Just do not overheat the walls and increase the amount of moisture in the air. Thus, the regime of the Russian steam bath is obtained, which has a milder effect on the human body.

The inventor of the bath Viktor Valentinovich Maslov

I didn't really have an idea to create some kind of bathhouse. It turned out due to the fact that I accidentally warmed myself in the crucible of a Russian stove. I bought a plot for my mother in the Moscow region with an old house, and began to improve it. It was necessary to create some kind of hygienic conditions so that the mother could wash herself. Laid the foundation for the bath in the first place. Bought a wood stove in the market.

By the spring he arrived and decided to prepare the house, burn any garbage that had accumulated from the previous owners. I threw a lot of unnecessary things into the crucible of a large Russian stove: chairs and so on. As a city dweller, I did not know to what extent a Russian stove could be heated. She overheated, the vault turned white, bricks fell from it.

Deciding that the stove needed to be urgently repaired, Viktor Valentinovich prepared a clay solution and climbed inside the stove. After that, to wash off the ashes, he plunged into the snow. There were no other sources of water nearby. And then he climbed back into the oven, already to warm himself. The next morning, Viktor Valentinovich noticed that he did not feel the back pain that had tormented him for many years.

Immediately I slept the whole night, slept, it made a strong impression on me. I began to think why I would do something like a sauna to take a steam bath. Instead of this bath, I will make myself a warm room, where I will put it, I will make walls so as not to heat the stove, but I will immediately put heaters in them. I will put sensors, and I will have a modern analogue of the furnace of the Russian stove.

What are Maslov's baths

In fact, it is a furnace from the inside. It is like a stove that surrounds a person. We are not near the stove, but right in the stove itself. This is the main principle of the inventor's bath. We will talk in more detail about the technical solutions that Maslov applied in the next story. Now let's look at what the analogue of the crucible of the Russian stove is.
The first room is the dressing room. She is small in size. The font is an optional element, but desirable. Sometimes a person heats up so much that he needs to cool down. It is small, only 1.5 x1.5 meters. Depth is about 1.5-2 meters. It has handrails, a ladder by which a person can go down there and cool off. The temperature of the water, since it is drawn from a well here, is somewhere around 10-12 degrees. In such water, of course, one cannot stay for a long time. Not everyone can dive into the font, because it is a contrast procedure.

There is a separate room. Maslov calls it a sweatshirt. The question immediately arises: why not wood, ceramics? The fact is that ceramics conduct heat much better and give it away. The tree is a heater. Therefore, it cannot quickly give heat to a person. Since Maslov's bath is the inside of a Russian stove, it is ceramics.

There are special elements in the walls and floor, ceiling, which heat this room in different ways. Floor - up to a temperature of 30 to 45 degrees, walls from 40 to 60 degrees. Ceiling - up to 55-70 degrees. This is to create a favorable infrared effect on the body.

This bath has a couch, a sofa on which it is comfortable to sit. You can stay in this room for a long time. It is not very hot here, but at the same time, a person begins to sweat quickly. That's why it's called sweatshop. The ceiling has a vaulted structure, that is, it has a radius of curvature. Thus, infrared radiation envelops the entire space.

The backlighting is very beautifully done here, it can change at the request of a person. In addition, on the ceiling you see pipes, this is a steam shower. With the help of a special heat generator, steam can be supplied here, it will fall on a person located on a hot shelf.

It is a pleasure to sit on this couch, heated from the inside. It has an anatomical shape, has a backrest under the lower back. There are interesting stones here, it is convenient to put them when you lie down on a sunbed, under your neck or back.
These stones heat up, giving extra warmth to the spine. In addition, here you can pour water everywhere. There are two mixers. Spa treatments are carried out on the sunbed, and they help to wash off all the ointments.

steam room

The last room is the hottest. This is a steam room. Here, too, there is a heated ceramic ceiling. There is a heat generator in which water is supplied with the help of a ladle. High temperature steam comes out from above. It can be supplied with wonderful smells with the help of a ladle, which is put in its place. If you put medicinal herbs there, then the steam, passing through them, will enter the steam room.

Through the hole, the steam enters the steam shower through the air duct and onto the person who lies on the shelf.

Ventilation of the Maslova bath

Next to the head of the person lying on the shelf there are ventilation openings that are turned on with a toggle switch and then fresh air is supplied directly to the face. There is ventilation of the room, controlled by the remote control. There are 4 buttons here that switch modes depending on the need.

The main tool in this bath is brooms. In particular, oak brooms, with the help of which the bathers process a person lying on a warm shelf.

The difference between a heat generator and traditional Russian bath ovens

Recently, cases of manufacturing counterfeit Maslov Baths (R) have become more frequent - if such a bath is made by untrained and untrained specialists, then this is fraught with dangerous consequences. Maslov's official website: http://www.bani-maslova.ru

Well, now the instrument data. By the time we entered the room, it was already pleasantly warm. I took with me my device for measuring relative humidity and temperature, and this is what he gave out:
The first photo is the readings of the device 10 minutes after installation at a height of 1500 mm or at the head level of a person sitting on a heated stone sofa.

Next, the fixture was moved to a ledge on the wall, behind which is the LED ceiling lighting at a height of approximately 1950 mm. Three photos were taken with an interval of 10 minutes, the second - after steam (with mint) was supplied to the sweat room after a couple of minutes:

The selfish description of the sensations is as follows: it is very pleasant to lie on the sofa and the massage shelf, the surfaces are hot, but not burning. Unfortunately, I do not have a laser pyrometer, and I do not need it, since I can determine the temperature quite accurately organoleptically. The ceiling is very hot, the hand cannot hold even a second, i.e. around 75 * C.
Next, I tried to measure the humidity and temperature in the steam room. I managed to make one reading purely visually (I couldn’t take a picture, because the optics of the camera did not have time to adapt to the temperature of the steam room, and then Victor accidentally dropped the device directly into a bowl of boiling water, after which the device screamed heart-rendingly and passed out. I had to urgently free the poor fellow from batteries and water and lay to dry on a warm massage table in the workshop). The device at the level of the shelf showed a temperature of 53 * C and humidity before giving about 52%. Next, I had to focus on skin testimonies.
Well, it's time to describe that unearthly bliss experienced by each of the pleasures present in this complex. First, they rub you with a special cream (the patent belongs to V.V. Maslov, and on the box it says maslu.ru on top), containing blue clay and a number of other components,
after that, banks are placed and, after a small temporary application, a can massage is performed. Feelings are hard to put into words. Perhaps Sergey has a video on his phone that he tried to shoot in the form of Gena's impressions, since he is the most maniacal in our company for bath procedures (maniac steelworker).
So, I'll show you on Sergey:

Then we went already soaring in the steam room. I must say that tough conditions in the steam room are achieved very quickly with just half of the ladle. Viktor Valentinovich soared me. The brooms were small, made of oak and not damp, but as if almost dry, rustling. It is very difficult to describe the sensations, because you quickly fly into nirvana. And in the end there is also a cool shower on the back - the "kiss of the bath attendant" and even no font is needed anymore. You wrap yourself in a pareo and on a sofa in the relaxation room, to taste the cool fruit drinks that Marina prepared for us.
To be continued...

In addition to the traditional types of baths, which embody centuries-old folk experience, innovative models do not cease to appear. We are talking about modern baths, created by scientists and engineers who were able to combine scientific achievements and traditional knowledge in their inventions. One of these baths, which gained wide popularity, was the Russian bath of Maslova (RBM), named after its developer - Maslov.

The main idea of ​​Maslov's bath is healing in the Russian oven

Once upon a time in the villages in Russia there was a wonderful method of healing. Its meaning was that a wooden flooring was laid in the throat of a well-heated and slightly cooled Russian stove. A man lay down on top of him, wishing to improve his health. After that, the furnace damper was closed. Thanks to the heat emanating from all the internal surfaces of the stove, a person began to actively sweat, his whole body warmed up gently and many ailments were healed.

This is such a steam oven that served as the prototype of the modern Maslov bath. Its difference from other types of baths is that the heat in it comes from all surfaces: walls, deck chairs, walls, ceiling. Electric panels are hidden under the ceramic lining of the bath, thanks to which uniform heating occurs. Getting into such a steam room, a person, in fact, gets into the inside of a large Russian stove - this is exactly the idea that the developer of this wonderful bath pursued.

Temperature and humidity conditions

Soft and deep heating in the Maslov bath occurs at a relatively low temperature of 40-50°C. In this case, the humidity is 10-50%. It is easy to breathe in such a steam room, there is no feeling of heat - only comfortable warmth. Surprisingly, in such a “gentle” climate, a person sweats very much, and no less than at 80 ° C in a sauna steam room. And the pleasure gets several times more!

However, if this climate is not quite ideal for a steamer, it does not matter. It is not in vain that the Maslova bath is considered universal, with almost no contraindications and suitable for all categories of the population, including pregnant women, children and the elderly. If desired, the temperature can be increased up to 80 ° C and “steam” to 100% humidity.

RBM interior: ceramics, stone, glass, metal

The Maslova bath consists of one room - a kind of bath-shower cabin. The floor, walls, ceiling, deck chairs - everything here is covered with ceramic tiles, natural stone, glass mosaics. A shower is installed near the sunbed, so that the visitor of the bath can wash himself while sitting or lying down, with maximum comfort. You can clean up the steam room without hindrance - there is a ladder for water drainage on the floor.

An obligatory element of this steam room is a heat generator (steam generator), which is a rectangular stove-heater in a heat-insulated casing. To save space, the heat generator is usually fixed to the wall, at a height of 1.5 m from the floor.

RBM heating: electric panels EINT

Maslov's original bathhouse is heated by EINT long-wave infrared panels mounted under the facing surfaces. The advantages of these electric panels are that the range of their thermal radiation completely coincides with the radiation of the heated wall of the Russian furnace. And it is the impact of long heat waves that has a beneficial effect on human health - this has been proven by modern medical research.

The temperature of each panel can be adjusted by changing the degree of heating of the bath surfaces. It has been experimentally proved that for the most comfortable heat for the body, the floor temperature should be within 35-40˚C, loungers - 42-50˚C, wall surfaces - 45-50˚C, ceiling - 55-60˚C.

It is important to note that when using EINT panels, energy savings reach 20-30% compared to standard heating systems.

Heat generator: stove-heater to create steam

In principle, the Maslov bath can function perfectly without steam. Then its climate will resemble a Finnish sauna, in which there is very low humidity. If you want to plunge into the atmosphere of a Russian bath, turn on the heat generator. This is a small rectangular device filled with thermal storage stones. The stones are heated to the desired temperature using a built-in steel heating element.

The heat generator is not used to heat the room, but exclusively to generate steam. How? Very simple: to increase the humidity in the bath, you need to splash a ladle of water on the heated stones of the heat generator. Depending on the amount of water poured at a time, the air humidity can rise up to 100%.

Is it possible to build a Maslov bath on your own?

Do-it-yourself Maslova bath can only be built if it is possible to completely recreate the installation technology of this structure. First of all, you will have to buy from the company that owns the rights to install the RMB, electrical panels and a heat generator. It is undesirable to replace these parts of the Maslov bath with anything, as this can lead to the fact that the wiring in the room will not withstand the load and a fire will occur. The electric panels and the heat generator developed by Maslov are characterized by minimal power consumption and complete safety - this is their great advantage.

After purchasing electrical appliances, you will need to install them in accordance with the design features of the bath, connect communications, provide ventilation, install sunbeds and plumbing, and make ceramic or stone surface cladding. As you have already seen, the technology of the RBM device is not simple, therefore, if you are not confident in your abilities, then you should not engage in amateur activities.

Russian bath Maslova

Types of baths: hammam, sauna, Russian bath

Let's remember what a bath is. In principle, all of them are based on the principle of heating the body and on, as it were, turning off the thermoregulation system at a certain moment so that a person can warm up. If we take the eastern hammam, then in this case the temperature there is low, about 43-45 degrees. At the same time, air humidity of 99-100% is created, and the recipient of the procedure cannot actually cool his body.

Another extreme option is a dry-air sauna, where the temperature is high. The Finns propose not to raise it above 90 degrees, while the relative humidity drops to almost zero (3-5%). If someone, with such heating, tries to throw a small amount of water on the heater, then he risks getting burned in a closed volume.

The golden mean of all baths is Russian with a temperature of 50 to 60 degrees, the humidity of the air is like that of the environment, we are used to it, that is, from 50 to 65%. It is this atmosphere that is natural for the human body, it allows you to get the maximum wellness procedure about being in the steam room. Most of the baths, for example, in the Moscow region are dry-air saunas.

Many people ask, how is it all different and what can be done to turn the sauna into a Russian bath? In principle, there is nothing complicated. You need to create a certain mode. Just do not overheat the walls and increase the amount of moisture in the air. Thus, the regime of the Russian steam bath is obtained, which has a milder effect on the human body.

The inventor of the bath Viktor Valentinovich Maslov

I didn't really have an idea to create some kind of bathhouse. It turned out due to the fact that I accidentally warmed myself in the crucible of a Russian stove. I bought a plot for my mother in the Moscow region with an old house, and began to improve it. It was necessary to create some kind of hygienic conditions so that the mother could wash herself. Laid the foundation for the bath in the first place. Bought a wood stove in the market.

By the spring he arrived and decided to prepare the house, burn any garbage that had accumulated from the previous owners. I threw a lot of unnecessary things into the crucible of a large Russian stove: chairs and so on. As a city dweller, I did not know to what extent a Russian stove could be heated. She overheated, the vault turned white, bricks fell from it.

Deciding that the stove needed to be urgently repaired, Viktor Valentinovich prepared a clay solution and climbed inside the stove. After that, to wash off the ashes, he plunged into the snow. There were no other sources of water nearby. And then he climbed back into the oven, already to warm himself. The next morning, Viktor Valentinovich noticed that he did not feel the back pain that had tormented him for many years.

Immediately I slept the whole night, slept, it made a strong impression on me. I began to think why I would do something like a sauna to take a steam bath. Instead of this bath, I will make myself just a warm room where I will put a shower, I will make walls so as not to heat the stove, but I will immediately put heaters in them. I will put sensors, and I will have a modern analogue of the furnace of the Russian stove.

What are Maslov's baths

In fact, it is a furnace from the inside. It is like a stove that surrounds a person. We are not near the stove, but right in the stove itself. This is the main principle of the inventor's bath. We will talk in more detail about the technical solutions that Maslov applied in the next story. Now let's look at what the analogue of the crucible of the Russian stove is.
The first room is the dressing room. She is small in size. The font is an optional element, but desirable. Sometimes a person heats up so much that he needs to cool down. It is small, only 1.5 x1.5 meters. Depth is about 1.5-2 meters. It has handrails, a ladder by which a person can go down there and cool off. The temperature of the water, since it is drawn from a well here, is somewhere around 10-12 degrees. In such water, of course, one cannot stay for a long time. Not everyone can dive into the font, because it is a contrast procedure.

There is a separate room. Maslov calls it a sweatshirt. The question immediately arises: why not wood, ceramics? The fact is that ceramics conduct heat much better and give it away. The tree is a heater. Therefore, it cannot quickly give heat to a person. Since Maslov's bath is the inside of a Russian stove, it is ceramics.

There are special elements in the walls and floor, ceiling, which heat this room in different ways. Floor - up to a temperature of 30 to 45 degrees, walls from 40 to 60 degrees. Ceiling - up to 55-70 degrees. This is to create a favorable infrared effect on the body.

This bath has a couch, a sofa on which it is comfortable to sit. You can stay in this room for a long time. It is not very hot here, but at the same time, a person begins to sweat quickly. That's why it's called sweatshop. The ceiling has a vaulted structure, that is, it has a radius of curvature. Thus, infrared radiation envelops the entire space.

The backlighting is very beautifully done here, it can change at the request of a person. In addition, on the ceiling you see pipes, this is a steam shower. With the help of a special heat generator, steam can be supplied here, it will fall on a person located on a hot shelf.

It is a pleasure to sit on this couch, heated from the inside. It has an anatomical shape, has a backrest under the lower back. There are interesting stones here, it is convenient to put them when you lie down on a sunbed, under your neck or back.
These stones heat up, giving extra warmth to the spine. In addition, here you can pour water everywhere. There are two mixers. Spa treatments are carried out on the sunbed, and they help to wash off all the ointments.

The last room is the hottest. This is a steam room. Here, too, there is a heated ceramic ceiling. There is a heat generator in which water is supplied with the help of a ladle. High temperature steam comes out from above. It can be supplied with wonderful smells with the help of a ladle, which is put in its place. If you put medicinal herbs there, then the steam, passing through them, will enter the steam room.

Through the hole, the steam enters the steam shower through the air duct and onto the person who lies on the shelf.

Ventilation of the Maslova bath

Next to the head of the person lying on the shelf there are ventilation openings that are turned on with a toggle switch and then fresh air is supplied directly to the face. There is ventilation of the room, controlled by the remote control. There are 4 buttons here that switch modes depending on the need.

The main tool in this bath is brooms. In particular, oak brooms, with the help of which the bathers process a person lying on a warm shelf.

Russian bath Maslova
Today, with the help of video and photo galleries, we will visit a very interesting bathhouse. This is Maslov's Russian bath, which has features that distinguish it from all analogues known today.

Health has always been a concern for scientists in all fields of science. Many years of experience and know-how in scientific and engineering thought were combined in Maslov's bathhouse. The Maslova bath appeared in the 80s and gained popularity among many lovers of the traditional Russian bath. We will tell you about how Maslov's bath is built with your own hands, what features it has in today's article.

Maslov's bath does not need a large room.

Features of the Maslova bath

The Maslova bath (RMB) got its name in honor of its inventor V.V. Maslova The main emphasis of the Maslovskaya idea is on heating in the furnace. The idea was born on the basis of the wonderful Russian tradition of heating in the oven at the beginning of the 18th century. In the Russian stove, right into the throat, after heating, the flooring was laid from the boards while it was still warm. A person with various diseases of the motor system was placed on the floor. The cooling stove was closed, and the patient was warmed up evenly from the heated surfaces of the walls, the bed and the ceiling of the vent.

To warm up in the maslov bath, it is enough to lie down and relax.

It was this tradition that was used by V.V. Maslov, but not a stove is used as heating, but all surfaces of the steam room: the canopy, walls, ceiling, floor. The surface of the entire structure is finished with ceramic panels under which electric infrared heaters are mounted. A person in such a steam room receives uniform heating and sweats more than in a traditional Russian bath. By its design, the steam room resembles a large Russian stove.

Temperature and humidity of the Maslova steam room

The standard temperature in the steam room is 40–55°C, the humidity is low 10–45%. Due to the comfortable combination of temperature and humidity, the heat in the steam room is not felt, it is easy to breathe. A steamer can sweat in a bath no less than in a sauna at 90 ° C. But due to the special climate, the bath is indicated for both young children and pregnant women. People suffering from heart and vascular diseases cannot visit the traditional steam room due to contraindications. You can go to Maslov's bathhouse without fear.

The temperature in the Maslova bath is suitable for people with any disease, of different ages.

What if you do not suffer from any diseases and like to take a steam bath in a wet hot steam? Do not despair, Maslov's steam room is the most versatile and easily warms up to 80–90 ° C if desired. Agree, succumbing to the park in such a steam room is not a sin.

Maslov's bath can be found in large health centers: sanatoriums, dispensaries. But recently, such steam rooms have been made at home with their own hands.

Design features of the Maslov bath

Interior features of Maslov's steam room

The basis of the interior of Maslov's bath is glass, ceramics, and metal. The design has one small room, which resembles a large shower. All elements of the canopy, walls, floor are finished with ceramic tiles or mosaics. Richer rooms are finished with natural stone, which is more expensive, but the benefits are several times greater.

The shower is located right at the canopy, so that the bather can wash himself sitting or lying down without unnecessary movement. Water flows into the gutter and the steam room is always clean.

Steam generator and EINT in Maslov's steam room

The steam generator in the steam room is installed in a square shape in a protective casing. The heater is mounted on top. To save space in a small steam room, the steam generator is mounted directly on the wall, stepping back from the floor 150 cm.

The device of the heat generator in the oil bath.

All surfaces of the steam room will be warmed up from EINT infrared electric panels. The panels are long wavelength and placed under the ceramic finish. In terms of their heat radiation, the ENIT electric panels are completely identical to the heated walls of the stove. Modern doctors have conducted a study and proved that the benefits of long infrared waves are enormous.

Thanks to the regulators, the panels can be set to different temperatures. The optimal ratio is:

• floor temperature 35–40°С,
• walls 45–50°С,
• lounger 40–50°С,
• ceilings 55–60°С.

The misconception, which many users write about, about the high power consumption of such a bath is unjustified. The steam room consumes 20–30% less electricity than heating a bath of the same size with an electric stove.

Initially, a steam generator was not provided for in the bath, but because of the love of our people for procedures with a broom, changes were made. Without a steam generator, the climate in the steam room will be drier and milder. They turn on the steam generator only for those who like to take a steam bath with a broom or those who want to warm up with hot wet steam.

The steam generator for the Maslova bath is selected in a small square shape. A TEN is built inside, which serves as a heating source for the heater. To increase the humidity in the steam room, it is enough to splash a small amount of water on the stones. From the amount of water that has fallen on the stones, there will be envy of humidity, which can be raised up to 100%.

How is Maslov's bath built with his own hands?

Only a complete reconstruction of all structural elements will make it possible to build a steam room on your own. RBM elements are sold only in companies that have a license for this equipment. Electric panels cost from 780 rubles. per m², steam generator from 2800 rubles. Replacing elements with unlicensed counterparts is fraught with burnout of wiring and short circuits. In the worst case, there will be a fire. Maslov's equipment will require a small amount of electricity, but this user is not in danger.

Do-it-yourself maslov's yuan can be finished with the most inexpensive ceramic tiles.

After purchasing the equipment, you need to buy finishing materials: ceramic tiles, natural stone or mosaics. The room is completely waterproofed and a lounger is laid out. You can lay out a sunbed from ordinary red brick.

The surface of the walls, ceiling, lounger is leveled with a cement screed and elements of electrical panels are installed on top. All wiring is hidden inside the screed. On top of the panel, a tile or stone is fixed with a special adhesive. A steam generator is mounted on the wall opposite the lounger.

Do not forget to take care of the ventilation system before finishing. An exhaust is carried out in the steam room. It is better if it is equipped with a special fan that can be turned on at any convenient time.

It is quite difficult to make a Maslov bath with your own hands, since you will have to work with electrical equipment, water and wiring. It is better to hire specialists who perform work with high quality and with a guarantee. The price for work starts from 3500 per m².

If you decide to build an innovation, like Maslov's bath, then undoubtedly, you will get an ecological and durable steam room. But work must be done in compliance with all the rules. Otherwise, it is better to assemble a traditional Russian bath, which does not require so much knowledge and skills.
