The construction of the main structural elements of the bathhouse (external walls and partitions) is often carried out simultaneously.
But sometimes ready premises require division into functional zones after installation of the roof, windows and doors. In this case, an additional partition can be installed in the bathhouse, which will allow more rational and efficient use of interior spaces.
The partition is functional and decorative element any bath. This design has the following advantages:
Choice suitable method the pier structure is determined design features baths In brick buildings, it is logical to build partitions from bricks, in wooden baths- frame or timber.
The partition between the steam room and the dressing room has two main openings: a door and one for heating equipment.
Internal bath partitions are constructed from cinder blocks, brick, plaster, concrete and wood. They have a double or single design. For increase thermal insulation characteristics When installing the structure, a technological gap is provided for installing insulating and waterproofing material.
Important! Installation of the structure should be carried out before finishing flooring, following the rules fire safety.
Frame partition – the best option For ready-made baths, built from logs. Installation requires pre-assembly wooden frame from beams or boards with a section of 5 × 5 cm.
For thermal insulation of the structure, a penoplex plate, basalt or mineral wool.
Construction technology frame partition with your own hands:
Important! The wood material for constructing the frame is pre-treated with antiseptics to prevent possible rotting and destruction. For decorative cladding It is worth using lining made of hardwood.
A brick partition is relevant for brick and stone baths. To obtain a lightweight structure, hollow bricks can be used for masonry.
The process of bricklaying the wall is carried out step by step:
Decorative finishing of a brick wall is done with plaster after the masonry mortar has completely dried.
In a brick bath, the partition between the steam room and the relaxation room can be made of foam blocks - a material that is more accessible to install and use.
The significant advantages of the blocks are:
The technology for installing the material is similar to brickwork and involves the following stages of work:
The same adhesive mixture is suitable for plastering foam blocks. After drying, the wall is primed and puttied. As decorative material used coloring composition or ceramic tiles.
The partition in the bath between the steam room and the sink is the simplest and affordable option designs that require minimal time and money investments.
To ensure sufficient thermal insulation between the washing room and the steam room, it is better to build partitions from a wide board or timber. This design does not provide for the presence of technological gaps in the inner part of the wall, which helps prevent the accumulation of excess moisture in the room.
In this case, the rejection of the heat-insulating layer in the walls is explained by the fact that during operation bath building requires maximum heat accumulation in all functional rooms. Since the wash compartment maintains more low temperature heating the air, the lack of heat is compensated by the heated steam room.
In a wooden bathhouse, glass partitions can be installed, which are durable, aesthetic and functional. Similar designs provide heat maintenance, are durable, easy to install and operate.
The walls are erected near the stove due to the fact that they are made of high-strength tempered glass. This material is resistant to deformation, overheating and mechanical damage.
The following types of glass partitions are used in the steam room:
Compared to traditional walls glass structures They are heavy and require a supporting frame. When constructing partitions, they use various techniques surface decoration: laser engraving, photo printing, stencil, sandblasting and stained glass applique.
Glass structures have the following advantages:
Serious disadvantage glass products is the formation of condensation under conditions high humidity. It is especially destructive for the retractable mechanisms with which the frame is equipped.
To protect against high humidity, it is recommended to use silicone-based impregnating compounds. High price making a septum is also considered significant drawback, which is compensated by the quality and durability of the design.
The construction of various partitions in a bathhouse made of logs, bricks or foam blocks is a serious and labor-intensive process that requires technical knowledge and skills. But subject to careful study of the information on how to make a partition, even a novice master will be able to correctly perform installation work.
The bathhouse includes several separate rooms, which are separated by partitions. Thus, the partition in the bath between the steam room and the sink can be made of different materials. The installation method directly depends on the chosen building material. This article will discuss some options for arranging partitions, as well as technologies for their installation.
There are several types of baths that are considered wooden:
The partition in a log bath can be made using five-wall log technology. However, this will require a large amount of money and the help of qualified specialists. If this is not possible, you can make a partition from brick, gas blocks, etc.
Although we will consider different technologies making a partition between the steam room and the washing room, the priority option in a wooden bath is a partition made of wood, but on the other hand, made of brick, it will be more durable and less susceptible to negative influence moisture.
A frame partition means a structure made of a wooden frame, which is insulated with mineral wool and covered with clapboard. The partition is mounted on concrete curb. The process of installing a frame partition consists of several stages. Next, each stage will be considered in detail.
The first step is to make a border. Its height should be 100 mm and width 125 mm. This border is needed to strengthen the structure, as well as to lay it along ceramic tiles. It will completely isolate the tree from water. The threshold is made when pouring the screed (if the floor is concrete). You can also do this work during the installation of the partition. To do this, install formwork from boards. It is important not to forget about the presence of a doorway, according to the standard 940 mm. The base is treated with a deep penetration primer for better adhesion. To ensure that the poured border is not damaged, before pouring, drill holes inside the formwork and hammer in small pieces of wire or screw in dowels 1/2. When the poured concrete has dried, it is necessary to lay two layers of roofing material on top.
At the beginning preparatory work take a chainsaw and cut a groove measuring 4x21.5 cm in the walls. The height will depend on the room, but usually it is 250 cm.
At this stage, blanks for the base of the frame are first made. The dimensions should be as follows:
Drill holes in the blanks for anchors and lay the bars on the curb. So, the base of the partition is fixed to the floor with anchors. On average, each workpiece will require 3 anchors. Side racks mounted in longitudinal grooves, made into the walls, and screwed on with screws. After this, you need to make a supporting frame for the structure. Place the outer stands, the size of which is 6x10x235 cm, on the base and secure with screws. Be sure to place a washer under each screw!
It is better to make the grooves in the racks longitudinal and oval. Due to this, the frame will not interfere with the shrinkage of the log house. The screws will slide along with the walls. As a result, there will be no interference during shrinkage of the log house. And the frame will also not be under load.
It's time to design the doorway. For the frame, place two vertical posts measuring 6x10x206 cm. Secure the frame frame with jumpers using self-tapping screws. As for the top beam of the frame, at the top it is necessary to leave a gap of 30 mm between the ceiling. Due to this, the expansion or settlement of the log house will be compensated. For this reason, the side grooves in the walls are made at full height.
The frame dimensions must be accurate. After all, the quality of the entire partition will depend on this. Therefore, before fixing this or that element, check the horizontal, vertical and dimensional conformity.
As for thermal insulation, for this you can use mineral wool 10 cm thick. Cells of 120 × 60 cm should be made in the frame. This size corresponds to the standard size of mineral wool slabs. The cotton wool is covered with polyethylene on both sides. It is secured with a stapler. These actions achieve several goals at once:
At the final stage of manufacturing the frame partition, the lining is attached to the sheathing (the sheathing is made from 2.5x5 cm beams). The lathing can be secured on top of the film and secured with self-tapping screws to the frame.
If the resulting opening measures 82x206 cm, then the frame should be 80x205 cm. So, there will be a 1 cm gap on each side. When the frame is installed, fill all the gaps polyurethane foam. Cut off the excess frozen foam with a construction knife.
Considering the fact that the standard frame has a width of 11.5 cm, the open part of the opening should be covered with a planed board measuring 60x30 mm. It is very important that the plane of the outer edge of the lining matches the outer edges of the boards.
When the partition frame is ready, the washing room should be tiled. Although this process can be performed after laying the lining. Installation of the lining is very simple using the tongue-and-groove technology. Bottom beam the sheathing from the sink side is attached to the curb, and from the steam room to the floor. It only needs to be attached to vertical posts. The lining is attached to the sheathing using clamps.
The gap between the ceiling and the frame partition is sealed with any thermal insulation material. At the end of the work, it is also recommended to close each screw with wooden pins of a suitable size.
This is the technology used to install a frame partition between the steam room and the washing room. If you follow it step by step, you will succeed.
Another method of separating the steam room and the washing room is to build a brick partition. There are two ways to lay bricks:
Considering the weight of the brick, the partition will be very massive. Therefore, to reduce the weight of the structure, use hollow bricks.
Below will be given detailed instructions how to make a brick partition.
The first step is to do all the preparatory work. You should start with work surface. It is necessary to remove all plank elements from the floor, right down to the foundation. Sweep the base with a broom and wet it. It is also necessary to equip workroom good lighting. Excess items should be removed. At the end of the preparatory work, you outline the contours of the future structure.
To work with cement mortar, you will need:
So, first you sift the sand from foreign objects. The mesh should have small cells. Next, place the container for mixing the solution so that it has a stable base. Mixing ratio 3:1. To prevent the solution from drying out, make a small batch, for example, two buckets of cement and six buckets of sand. It must be mixed with water. This volume of solution will be enough for you to work for an hour. The consistency of the mixture should resemble thick sour cream.
During work, the solution tends to shrink and harden. Don't rush to add water. It is enough to stir every 10–15 minutes.
For construction you will need the following set of tools:
The entire work process follows this scenario:
When the first row is ready, the subsequent ones are laid according to this principle. Be sure to check each row for level.
The use of dressing is an important condition. In this case, the existing load will be evenly distributed, and the partition itself will be quite strong. For additional gain masonry, place reinforcement or metal strips in the seam every five rows.
A similar connection must be made to the wall. Above door frame a channel for reinforcement is installed. Fill the gap between the ceiling and the last row of masonry with scrap bricks and mortar. As you can see, there are no special secrets when building a brick partition. All the work can be done with your own hands. The only thing you need to consider is a few important nuances:
Building materials such as foam block or aerated concrete are very popular. A partition made of foam block is made much faster, unlike brick. Standard size one block is 300×600 mm. As for the thickness, here big choice. As a rule, blocks with a thickness of 75, 100 and 150 mm are chosen for the construction of partitions.
Depending on the thickness of the foam block, the price will vary. Therefore, to calculate your budget, think about this nuance in advance.
The process of manufacturing a partition from aerated concrete has several successive stages, compliance with which will help you complete all the work yourself.
Also, as in the case with brickwork, the floor and walls should be prepared. Next, mark the doorway and pull the cord. In accordance with the markings without mortar, lay out the first row and, if necessary, cut the block to size. Afterwards, you remove the blocks and waterproof the masonry site.
You can cut foam blocks with a grinder or a hacksaw. If these tools are not available, a regular hacksaw will do.
Special glue is used for laying gas blocks. The glue is mixed using an electric drill with a mixer attachment. Glue mixture Apply a layer of 3 mm to the blocks. Next, install the block and lightly tap it. Be sure to check the vertical/horizontal level. For better strength, move the block 1/2 and start the second row of masonry. When connecting the partition to the wall, perform the dressing, just as in the case of brickwork. To do this, make holes in the wall up to 5 cm, and place the blocks directly on them. This dressing can be done every 4-5 rows.
Before laying the last row, lay out reinforcement Ø1.6 cm along the entire length of the partition. On top of it is a layer of glue and the last row of blocks to the ceiling. This will serve as a kind of armored belt.
Before plastering, carry out all necessary communications. Next, install the beacons and perform plastering. As a solution, you can use the same mixture as for masonry. When the plaster has dried, the surface is puttied and painted or covered with decorative tiles.
By observing this simple diagram, you won't have any special problems. Please note the following useful tips:
For beginners, installation glass partition no easy task. If you decide to use glass blocks, then their installation is carried out using mortar or liquid nails. Glass partitions are also installed in modular cells.
If you decide to lay a glass partition according to the principle of bricklaying, then the work looks like this:
As for the method of installing a glass partition in cellular grilles, everything is much simpler here. Cells can be made of wood, MDF and plastic. They are attached to the ceiling, wall and floor. The blocks themselves are installed on a sealant, the base of which should be rubber.
So, we looked at possible options for making a partition between the steam room and the washing room. If you have carried out such work, then share your experience with our readers by leaving comments at the end of this article.
From the video provided, you can learn about some details of the finishing of the steam room:
A standard log bathhouse (five-walled) consists of two rooms: a steam room and a washing room. It has 4 load-bearing walls and one partition. There are also larger buildings, it all depends on the financial capabilities and requirements of the owner. But in any case, initially installed frame baths can be partitioned at your discretion, increasing or decreasing the area.
The only question is, from what material and how to make the partitions?
This is what the frame looks like wooden partition between the washing compartment and the steam room.
The simplest option is to install a frame partition inside brick bath. Let's consider the variant of differentiation washing department and a steam room. First, a frame made of dried and treated wood is assembled locally. A thermal insulation layer of penoplex or mineral wool is placed inside. It is better to additionally protect it from moisture plastic film or a foil membrane used specifically for these purposes.
Afterwards, the partition is finished according to the internal wall cladding. On the steam room side there is a lining corresponding to overall design, and the washing compartment is also finished accordingly. If the wall is to be plastered, first fill a layer unedged boards, then a reinforcing mesh is fixed over it, after which the corresponding work is carried out.
The lining for finishing the steam room must correspond to the overall design. The material is dried and preferably from one batch. Mount it with clamps or small nails in hidden places. In the washing department, the plaster is applied in several layers; after the latter has dried, the tiles can be laid.
This is a partition option if the redevelopment began after the construction of the bathhouse. You can do it another way, and even at the time of designing the bathhouse, delimit the interior spaces, thinking through the layout of all the rooms. According to the type of foundation chosen, in addition to pouring it under load-bearing walls, it is also laid in places where partitions pass. After the construction of the bathhouse, they can be made of brick without bothering with assembling the frame and insulating it. But this option is more expensive, so for small brick baths, you can make prefabricated partitions.
A brick partition separating the stove from the dressing room.
This option for partitions has its supporters and haters. Some say it's like dressing cabbage. On the one hand, this is true. But on the other hand, relatively quickly and inexpensively you get a warm and reliable partition. After all, pouring a foundation is more expensive. And what to do if you suddenly decide to re-plan the location interior walls? Break the foundation?
This is the only one possible variant for partition technical premises in a bathhouse, such as a toilet or rest room. Frame structures you can separate the dressing room from the rest room or make a separate room for installing an installation block, from which the electrical wiring will go to the bathhouse. We can safely note the relevance and demand for frame partitions in all types of baths.
Waterproofing of frame partitions membrane film. It is laid on both sides.
In this way, bath spaces are demarcated only in structures made of the appropriate material, and their location is worked out at the stage of building the bath. They lay it together with the crowns of the load-bearing walls, making a dressing. Under the internal partitions of a bathhouse made of timber, a foundation is required. They won't last long when weighed down.
The use of partitions of this type is in demand in several cases: firstly, in big sauna it is necessary not only for dividing the room, but also as additional support for the floors. This is kind of another load-bearing wall. Secondly, the “five-wall” log house assembly method will allow you to connect the structure internal partition. And thirdly, to create general interior. Do you agree that in a bathhouse made of timber, a brick wall will look ridiculous?

Brick partitions are applicable in any bathhouses lined with similar material. The width is selected at your discretion, but given that this non-residential premises and sound insulation is not particularly needed, masonry with one stone is enough. More attention is paid here to the quality of the masonry mixture. It must correspond to indicators that are resistant to moisture. Partition connection with load-bearing wall produced by reinforcement. Every 4–5 rows, reinforcement is driven in and then the masonry is carried out in accordance with all the rules.
Brick partitions are often used in wooden baths. This is acceptable when the stove is heated from the dressing room, and you need to cover it with stone to create maximum conditions fire safety without compromising temperature reduction. In order not to interfere with general decor, the partition is placed from decorative stone, and in some cases it is combined with a heater stove. Thus, the wall will also heat the dressing room.
Partial partitioning of the furnace with bricks is also often practiced. By the way, work on installing partitions is carried out only after the bath has completely shrunk, regardless of what material it is made of.
It’s good if, when installing the box, all the partitions are erected at once. But more often the room is divided after the roof is covered and windows and doors are installed. The partition in the bath between the steam room and the sink performs a very important function, so the approach to its manufacture must be very careful.
The partition can be made from almost any building material that can withstand high temperatures without emitting harmful substances. It could be:
This type of partition is one of the best. Does not require additional care. There is also no need to carry out insulation, because... Wood itself is an excellent insulator.
Note! For the “paw” joint, the procedure will be similar, except for the binding itself. Typically, blanks for this method of joining - blanks - are made at initial stage for all logs. Next, a tip in the shape of a trapezoid is made on the log and a sample of the same shape is made on the beam that will be laid perpendicularly.
For this option you will need edged board. Its size should be equal to the width of the future partition. It can be 200x100 mm, 200x150 mm, 150x100 mm, 100x50mm. The thicker the partition, the better the heat will be retained. In order to calculate how much material will be needed, it is necessary to calculate the perimeter of the partition. Next, add as many more supports as needed if they have to be placed in increments of 60 cm.
Note! When choosing this method, you also get excellent sound insulation. This is achieved by tightly packing the insulation inside the wall.
Note! As we have already said, you need to make a foundation for such a partition in advance.
It's better to stock up in advance required material. The masonry can be done in half a brick. This will save money and also reduce the overall weight of the entire structure. It is desirable that the sand that will be used to prepare the solution be dry. This will help you calculate the ratio correctly and will promote good adhesion.
Note! To prevent the wall above the doorway from collapsing, it is important to lay several reinforcement rods. It is desirable that its diameter be from 12 mm. Its length should be at least 20 cm greater than the width of the opening. It is necessary to wall it up in the seam.
A partition wall made of this material is built according to the brick principle, but it has its own nuances.
Note! Be sure to provide ventilation in all rooms. This will help prevent the growth of fungus and mold. To do this you can put supply valves, which will overlap. You can also install anemostats into the ceiling and draw leads from them through the ceiling to the roof.
Now you know how to make a partition in a bathhouse. There are no barriers to trying to build it yourself.
The principle of arranging partitions in wooden buildings shown below:
Partition between the steam room and the relaxation room- a special place in which the most powerful elements of the bath are collected: steam, fire, temperature and cold in winter. How can these opposite actions be made friends? You can find the golden mean by knowing all the features of the design of partitions for cutting furnace fireboxes. They will be discussed in this review.
The entire article makes sense only when using factory steel furnaces in wooden log houses. There is no need to talk about baths with brick walls or about steam rooms with massive brick kilns. Everything is simple here: take more, heat it longer and wait until it warms up slowly. But in the case of high-speed sauna stoves or Russian bath stoves with steam generators - partition between the steam room and the room acquires special properties. Many stove manufacturers declare 30-40 minutes until they are ready for bath procedures. Yes, all this is possible in a perfectly insulated steam room. In this case, we need a thin wall, a minimum of convection, a reflective screen and a non-flammable layer with low thermal conductivity.
One of ideal options is a partition in a steam room made from the following sandwich:
from the steam room to the adjacent room - a sheet of polished stainless steel, a sheet of asbestos cardboard 1-2 cm basalt wool, asbestos sheet (analogue), decor.
Stones will immediately fly at me because of the attempt to use asbestos-cement sheets. The main thing is calm! Production is considered harmful, not use! A sheet closed on all sides does not evaporate, is not ventilated, and does not smell. It is necessary to cut carefully, observing safety regulations.
This is a lyrical digression for those who like to make it easier and cheaper. Of course, you can also use expanded vermiculite and look for airgel and other “nanotechnology products”.
A hard and rigid asbestos-cement sheet can be covered with porcelain stoneware or tiles.
For builders with financial capabilities and reluctance to experiment, there are partitions for wooden baths made in a factory. They are also called heat shields. They thought through everything and decided for us, and they did it beautifully. Thermal insulation and cutting on the side of the steam room and a self-cooling surface with modern design from the side of the room with the firebox, unpacked and installed - quickly, cleanly and correctly.
Here it is! - you think about a brick partition between the steam room and the relaxation room. Safe, like a mausoleum, it doesn’t burn, doesn’t rot, doesn’t smell, bugs don’t wear it down. The forums are filled with comments on how to make this partition from fireclay bricks, how to decorate it with tiles, etc. This whole conversation about thermal insulation needs to be clarified and sorted out:
Recipe for preparing mortar for laying brick partitions between the steam room and the room recreation: Clay-sand - proportion 1 to 1 (fine sand). Some people use this mixture for laying stoves. The clay is soaked in water for 2-3 days, stirred with a mixer until it becomes sour cream, sand and a little cement are added (up to 5% of the volume of the entire mixture).
When using a sandwich with basalt wool inside as a partition between a steam room, you must first ensure that the cotton wool has the opportunity to dry after completing the bath procedure for the following reasons:
Mineral wool for the partition on the steam room side is not the best option. It is preferable to use stone wool(basalt). Mineral light-fluffy fillers tend to release odors at high temperatures. And, believe me, these smells are not the healthiest. The heat shield or partition must not emit odors until high temperature. The surface of a steel vented stove (most produced) reaches up to 400 degrees on the casing!
No matter what you are going to make the partition from in the steam room of the bathhouse, one thing is mandatory - good ventilation of the insides of the sandwich and compliance with fire regulations and breaks. And this is how it was done.
