The layout of the guest house bath. Turnkey guest houses

With the development of bathing culture and the appearance of spacious rooms for relaxing in a room with a steam room, the idea of ​​​​living in a bathhouse came up. This lifestyle will appeal to many Russian men, especially if the room is equipped with everything you need: a small refrigerator and a sofa, and also has a connection to the water supply. However, living in Spartan conditions for a respectable family person is not very convenient, so house designs with built-in baths are becoming more and more popular.

Such houses satisfy all household needs of a person. They can have several bedrooms, a bathroom connected to the sewer, a garage, a living room, a kitchen, a wardrobe and look more like an ordinary residential building than a bathhouse. But the presence of a steam room and a stove for a bath always gives the room additional attractiveness.

There is also another, more bachelor version of the bath house, where the main emphasis is on the essential attributes of the bath (steam room, shower room, vestibule, relaxation room, billiard room and even a pool) with a living room that looks more like a studio apartment.

Such premises can be made both from traditional bath materials - wood and timber, and from brick or even natural stone at the choice of the client.

Two-storied country house from rounded logs looks very nice and rustic. In addition, the house is equipped with an additional bonus - its own bath.

On the ground floor of the building there is a standard steam room, a bathroom and a living room, which is combined with a kitchen. The second floor contains two cozy bedrooms. different sizes which are connected by a common balcony and a small corridor.

Nice and spacious corner wooden cottage is a classic bachelor's haven. Despite the apparent coziness and solidity of the building, the main emphasis in the house is on entertainment elements.

The house has a spacious terrace with a barbecue oven, a billiard room, a steam room with a swimming pool, an extensive wardrobe, and only a little attention is paid directly to the living area. The owners of the house are invited to stay in a studio apartment with an area of ​​just over 20 square meters, which will simultaneously combine a kitchen, a bedroom, an office and a living room. It is also possible to equip attic room On the second floor.

The first floor of a bath from a bar with an attic is a classic version of a Russian bath with a relaxation room, a steam room and a washing room.

However, if installed in a rest room kitchen appliances, and use the room on the attic floor as a bedroom, it is quite possible to live in such a house permanently.

Ready-made project of a one-story residential building with a sauna (148.1 m2)

This project of a one-story residential building with a bathhouse differs from others in the material of construction and, accordingly, in its fundamental nature.

This is profitable solution especially when the space is quite limited. Having decided to build such a structure, there is no doubt that it will become profitable investment funds.

Having gone to the dacha with family or friends, it will be possible to take a steam bath in the bathhouse, and then relax with family and friends. Such projects are now very popular. If the owners of the backyard have minimal building skills, they will be able to create such a structure on their own.

Project Features

Projects of a guest house with a bath (the photo is presented below) differ in some features. The building is an ordinary cottage, in which, in addition to living quarters, there is a steam room with a dressing room. The building will not take up much space on the site.

If desired, you can create two-story houses. Buildings with an attic are also very popular. The bathroom will be located on the first floor. Rest rooms should be arranged on the second floor. There are many one-story guest houses with a bathhouse. The choice depends on the construction budget, as well as the preferences of the owners of the house.

In the process of erecting the presented object, it is necessary to maintain a single style solution for all premises. The materials from which the house will be built must be environmentally friendly. This is the main requirement for organizing such a construction. The bath will take up most of the space of the house.

Featured Projects

Considering best projects guest houses with a bath, the most popular options should be noted. Most owners of a personal plot choose two-story types of buildings. Buildings with an attic are also popular.

In the first place in popularity in our country are the projects of the presented buildings from foam blocks. It is an available, relatively inexpensive material. It is easy to work with him even for a non-professional. Foam blocks have good thermal insulation qualities. That is why the presented material is in demand everywhere today. The layout in such a building can be very diverse.

In second place in popularity are the projects of guest houses made of wood. In this case, logs or glued beams are used. It's beautiful, environmentally pure material. He is able to emphasize the atmosphere country house, to set the guests to rest and tranquility. When using such material, special attention should be paid to protection against fire and decay of wood.

Accommodation on site

Considering the projects of a guest house with a bath, it is necessary first of all to plan the location of the building on the site. The comfort of its operation will largely depend on this. If there is already a house or other buildings on the site, the new building should be at a distance of 6-15 m from them. This takes into account the flammability class of the material from which all objects are made.

There are also a few other issues to be resolved. The door of the guest house should not be located opposite the entrance to the main building of the site. There should also be a parking area.

If the guest house will be built simultaneously with the main building, it is necessary to create common system their communications. This will save money family budget work in progress. It is desirable to allocate a separate area for recreation near the guest house.

layout

The owners of the site can choose a project of a guest house with a bathhouse and a swimming pool, an attic, a terrace and others. additional elements. However, in most cases, you must first consider the layout.

  • I - steam room.
  • II - dressing room.
  • III - rest room.

In one half of the house there should be a steam room, a washing room, a swimming pool, a shower room and a dressing room (cloakroom). The second half is reserved for bedrooms, guest rooms, hallway, kitchen. At the same time, the interior decoration of these two parts should be combined, in harmony with each other.

Whatever project the owners of the site choose, they must provide for the presence of certain systems and premises in the guest house. There must be a kitchen, a bathroom, a separate bedroom. It is necessary to provide for the presence of heating, sewerage, plumbing systems. High-quality ventilation is also required in all rooms. Even if the building will not be used in winter period, it is necessary to think over a system for protecting communications from freezing.

Budgeting

Having reviewed the projects of the guest house-bath from timber, foam blocks, bricks, it is necessary to draw up an expense estimate. Its main articles will include the foundation, materials for external and internal walls, roof. It also takes into account the cost of insulation and waterproofing materials, fixing material (nails, staples, self-tapping screws, etc.), windows, doors.

There should be a stove in the steam room. There are many models of a heater for a steam room. For a dry sauna, you can purchase an electric open stove. If the owners plan to create a Russian bath, it is necessary to make a closed heater. It will be heated with firewood or other type of fuel.

Next, the costs for the purchase of communication materials (pipes, fittings, ventilation ducts, electric wires and all related materials). A separate cost item in the estimate is decorative trim inside and outside the premises. An accurate calculation of the need for materials will significantly save in the process of building a structure.

Wooden house

The project of a guest house with a bath may involve the construction of a building made of wood. One of the most popular solutions is the construction of such an object from a log. It is an eco-friendly, beautiful material. It has a relatively low cost.

Glued laminated timber can also be used for similar purposes. A building made of such material can fully correspond in its functions to the usual country house. If you place the sleeping quarters on the second floor, and the steam room below them, the air in the upper rooms will be warm. It will be comfortable to be in such rooms.

Wood helps retain heat. At proper processing and the preparation of the material, the structure will not require restoration for more than a dozen years. It is a reliable, durable and strong material. You can also decorate the interior of the steam room with wood. It is best to use lining. The type of wood should not release resins when heated.

House with an attic

Popular today are also projects of guest houses-baths with an attic. This option allows you to fit into a limited construction budget. The attic room is reserved for living rooms. Here are the bedroom and living room. Therefore, the available space will need to be divided into two parts.

To delimit a small interior space without erecting walls, an elevation is made in one half of the room. It will be sleeping place. It is necessary to organize the internal space as correctly as possible. There should be nothing superfluous here. In a niche under the bed you can do drawers. Clothes, bedding, etc. will be stored here.

Putting chests of drawers and cabinets in the attic room is categorically not recommended. They will take up too much space. An elevated bed can be further limited with the help of nightlights. In the room you can put small low sofas. The best option becomes Japanese style.

Finishing facilities

When choosing projects of guest houses with a bathhouse made of foam blocks, wood or brick, an important issue is the layout. finishing works. The style of the attic or rooms on the second floor can be classical, Japanese, medieval, Old Russian, etc. The choice depends on the taste preferences of the owners of the house.

Any architectural and construction project consists of three parts: architectural, design and engineering. This is a document without which the developer will not receive permission to start construction.

The main part of the project is the architectural and design sections. If the customer is sure that there are intelligent specialists in engineering networks in the construction team, then the development of this part of the project in a specialized company can be abandoned. But it is necessary to understand that the architect, designer and engineer are working on the project together and such moments as, for example, strobes and openings in the walls for laying pipes and wires, are provided by them in advance.

The engineering part of the project is divided into several parts

  • Water supply and sewerage (VK)
  1. water supply scheme
  2. sewerage scheme
  3. general form systems.

Before proceeding with the design, it is necessary to decide what kind of communication will be - individual or connected to a centralized system.

Individual water supply gives complete independence from external conditions. But it must be remembered that you will need your own sources of water, and drilling a well will cost a decent amount.

Connection to a centralized system will require designing in accordance with the specifications of the existing network and obtaining permission for tie-in.

When connecting a sewer to a centralized system, the procedure is the same as when connecting a water supply: making a request to the relevant services, developing a project, obtaining permission to tie into the system. If you decide to organize an individual sewer system, then from time to time you will have to invite a sewer service.

  • Heating and ventilation (HV)
  1. heating scheme: calculation of the required power of the equipment, distribution schemes for heating mains, location of pipes and radiators
  2. ventilation scheme: binding to power electrical equipment, ventilation communications and shafts, passage nodes and, if necessary, the location of stoves and fireplaces
  3. boiler piping (if necessary)
  4. general instructions and recommendations for the section.

If the ventilation system is always an individual design, then heating can be either individual (stove, air, water, electric), or connected to centralized networks.

  • Power supply (ETR)
  1. lighting layout
  2. wiring of power networks
  3. ASU scheme
  4. grounding system
  5. detailed description and characteristics of all elements of the system.

Electrical systems can be divided into mandatory and optional. Mandatory include indoor and outdoor lighting, ventilation, air conditioning and electric heating systems. Additional systems include systems such as "Warm floor" or automated gate control.

IMPORTANT

  • Each part of the engineering section of the project should contain general and technical descriptions, specifications of materials and necessary equipment.
  • Drawings of elements of all systems and floor electrical wiring are made on a scale of 1:100.

Price: from 100 rubles. per m²

Making changes to the project

Often the customer is faced with the question: to choose standard project at home and save money, while losing on the originality of future housing, or order an individual project, but for a lot of money.

Our company offers a compromise option. You order a standard project, and we make changes to it, taking into account all your wishes as much as possible. Of course, this assumes additional expenses, but, in any case, such a project will cost much less than work for a specific order. And we will make sure that your house looks original.

The following changes can be made to the project of the house:

move wall partitions. But only if they are not carriers. This operation will allow you to change the size and purpose of the rooms.

moving windows and doorways allows you to change the illumination of rooms and organize convenient access to the rooms you need

changing the type of floors and walls will allow you to fully realize your own ideas about economical and rational housing

change ceiling heights. Although all our houses are designed with an optimal room height of 2.8 m, some customers find high ceilings to be an additional coziness and comfort.

conversion of the attic into a living space will give you the opportunity to expand your own living space

change the angle of inclination of the roof and canopies is taking into account climatic conditions specific region

it is necessary to change the type of foundation, taking into account the engineering and geological parameters of the soil. It is also possible to add or change a basement or basement

add, remove, change a garage or a terrace, you can, in accordance with your ideas about the functionality of housing

change in the structural composition, construction and finishing materials will allow you to manage your own financial resources economically

a mirror image project will allow you to organically fit the house into the surrounding landscape.

The changes made should not affect the safety of the home.

Too much a large number of changes usually do not improve the project. If you couldn't choose from the catalogs suitable house, then it may be worth ordering housing from an architect on an individual project.

Price: from 2000 rubles.

Package "Foundation adaptation"

When a typical project of a house is being developed, then some average soil parameters are taken as a basis. But, without having the exact data of the geological expertise, it is difficult to take into account all the nuances in the design. Therefore, often the engineering and geological characteristics of a real site differ significantly from those originally laid down in the project. And this means that the foundation - the basis of the whole house - will need to be finalized in order to make it strong and reliable.

To completely eliminate all problems when laying the foundation, the specialists of our company have developed a package "Adaptation of the foundation". When implementing a package, not only specifications but also the wishes of the customer.

This package includes:

  • choice of foundation type
  • calculation of technical parameters:

Foundation footing depth
- load bearing capacity
- indicators of soil stress under the base of the foundation
- cross-sectional area of ​​the working reinforcement, etc.

  • detailed drawings of the zero cycle
  • cost sheet for building materials.

Adaptation of the foundation gives a full guarantee of its strength, and hence the reliability of the entire building. You are guaranteed to get rid of problems such as shrinkage and cracks during operation already finished house. Moreover, often the adapted foundation turns out to be cheaper than the option originally laid down in the project. And this will help save materials and financial resources.

Price: 14,000 rubles.

Individual design

If you decide to build a house, then you have your own idea of ​​​​what your dream home should be like. And if none of the standard projects suits you, it makes sense to think about an individual project. In addition, it will take into account all your wishes as much as possible: the level of comfort, family composition, even the view from the window. It is clear that such a project will cost a lot. But you will know for sure that there is no other like it.
Sometimes, however, you have to resort to individual design forcedly. For example, the developer got a plot of land of a non-standard configuration, and not a single standard project simply fits into it. And it also happens that the number of changes made by the customer is such that it is easier and cheaper to design a house from scratch.

Stages of work on an individual project:

  • development terms of reference for house design
  • contract for design work
  • preparation of a draft design: linking the building to the terrain, external and internal views, layouts, sections
  • detailed study of sections of the project.

In addition, you can also order:

  • projects of additional structures - a garage, a workshop, a bathhouse, etc.
  • visualization of the project in 3D format.

Ultimately, the customer receives a package of design documentation, consisting of architectural and structural sections.

The project features:

  • The general plan of the house with its binding to the boundaries of the site.
  • Floor plans, which indicate the thickness of walls, lintels and partitions, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe premises, the specification of windows and doorways.
  • Facade plans with indication of finishing materials and color schemes.
  • Sections of the building and main units.
  • Drawings and sections of the foundation, bill of materials.
  • Calculation of the ceiling, roof truss system, roof insulation and waterproofing units.

Package "Tender offer"

For any developer, the question from a cheerful nursery rhyme "what should we build a house ...?" far from idle. Moreover, the cost of building a house depends on many factors. Therefore, you should not estimate the costs "by eye". Without complete information, it will not work to calculate everything to the smallest detail and, in the end, it will cost yourself more. And besides, a careful calculation of the cost of materials and work affects not only your finances, but also the timing of building a house.

You can calculate the construction costs with the utmost accuracy using the "Tender offer" service developed by our specialists. In fact, this is a document that provides a complete list of all building materials and work, indicating their volumes.

The presence of a tender offer allows:

  • get a real picture of the costs of upcoming construction
  • attract construction company which is able to offer the most profitable terms performance of work
  • not only understand the essence of the construction process, but also competently control the consumption of building materials, independently adjusting prices for each item
  • competently supervise the actions of contractors at all stages of construction

Package "Anti-ice"

Snowdrifts and ice in winter time on the roof of your house cause a lot of trouble. You can, of course, climb onto the roof and wave a shovel in the cold for 2-3 hours - that's business. But effective snowmelt and anti-icing systems have long been invented and widely used. Their basis is heating cables. The system is organized on the same principle as the "warm floor". Only more powerful and the cable laying step is smaller.

The Anti-Ice package is developed taking into account the peculiarities of the power supply of the house:

for roofs and gutters: snowmelt in gutters, at the edge of the roof in order to prevent the formation of icicles and frost in the pipes

for the entrance group: heating of steps, paths and open areas

for the entrance to the garage: heated driveways

in addition, sometimes the Anti-Ice system is used for heating the soil in greenhouses, and for landscape heating of flower beds, lawns and lawns, as well as for heating sports facilities.

During the design process, the minimum energy consumption is calculated and provided fire safety. When creating the Anti-Ice system, it is recommended to use only certified self-heating elements that do not support combustion. In addition, the system is equipped with an overheating or differential automaton for automatic shutdown systems when energy losses are detected. If the system is too large, it is divided into smaller sections. This makes it easier to manage her work.

Important:

for a multi-pitched roof, the Anti-Ice system will be designed by specialists of our company on an individual order.

Package "Lightning protection"

Often developers do not give of great importance protection of their own homes from lightning: someone saves, someone thinks, someone hopes for "maybe". But 3-4 years after the construction of the house, many people remember about lightning protection. The roofing felts of a neighbor burned down in a thunderstorm Appliances, roofing felts, statistics caught my eye on how many fires occur per year due to lightning.

We propose to resolve the issue immediately: to provide protection already at the design stage of the house. It is worth thinking about this, if only for purely aesthetic reasons - there will be no need to once again hollow out the walls of the house and pull the down conductor along the facade, violating the well-thought-out appearance building.

Home lightning protection is a system of devices located both outside the home and indoors. External lightning protection prevents lightning from entering the house, internal - protects the electrical network from sudden voltage surges. And special devices protect electrical engineering from sudden changes. electromagnetic field within the radius of a lightning strike.

The package "Lightning protection" includes

  • plan-scheme of the location of lightning rods that take on direct lightning strikes
  • cross-sectional diagram of a current collector that diverts current from the lightning rod to ground
  • ground loop circuit that distributes lightning energy in the soil, ensuring complete safety
  • averaged resistance calculations
  • detailed list necessary materials

"Central vacuum cleaner" is a kind of aspiration system(removal of small particles by sucking them in with an air stream).

The system consists of:

  • a vacuum cleaner(installed in technical room);
  • duct system, along which the dust-air mass moves (more often hidden installation is carried out in the preparation of the floor or in the space behind the false ceiling);
  • pneumosockets and pneumosows(a flexible hose with a telescopic rod and a nozzle is connected to the former, as in a conventional vacuum cleaner, the latter are intended for express cleaning, usually in the kitchen).

Pros:

  • removable dusty no air gets in back into the room, and is “thrown out” after the unit to the street;
  • No noise in clean rooms.
  • Ease of cleaning without "pulling" the vacuum cleaner from room to room, without the use of extension cords.

Package "Comfortable home"

Explanatory dictionaries claim that comfort is a set of household amenities, without which life is unthinkable.
modern man in modern home. Most of these amenities are laid down at the design stage. But we are ready to expand their list and help clients make their own housing as comfortable as possible.

More and more people are leaving the cities, preferring to settle away from noisy highways and ever-smoking factories. The opportunity to live in an ecologically clean area is available to everyone, if you know how to approach the issue. One of the most good decisions is the construction of a guest house on own site. This will allow you to get additional living space for renting or receiving guests and relatives. Building a guest house with your own hands is not so difficult, and in this article we will tell you how to do it.

Building a guest house is the best solution for those who often host guests, have a large family or intend to rent out housing. There is an opinion that the maintenance of such a structure is inexpedient and takes too much money and effort, but only those who do not know how to correctly plan the construction say so. If you approach the choice of the project rationally and choose the right materials, you can reduce the cost of a new building to a minimum.

Proper planning will make it possible to locate the building on the site in such a way as to minimize the length of communications or completely abandon the laying of the pipeline. As for heating, a fireplace or stove is enough for a small one-story guest house. If you place a house near the bathhouse or the main building, then some technical functions can be transferred to it, for example, to make a boiler room there. In the event of an emergency, a boiler operating on different types fuel, will become a backup source of energy for the entire site.

If you plan to rent a house only in the summer and do not use it in the winter, then you can not install heating at all, thereby saving a significant amount. The building can also be used as a summer kitchen. The great thing is that there are no strict rules for using such structures - you can do whatever you want with them. Geometry, dimensions, cladding, design - all this is limited only by your imagination and financial capabilities. The video below shows a cozy guest house with a gazebo-veranda.

However, the design of the guest house should be in harmony with the exterior of the main building and fit into the existing landscape. Its area can be quite modest, for example, 40-50 m², but in this case, you should choose the right furniture and interior items. Fortunately, today there is big choice ergonomic compact furniture especially for such occasions. In a small bedroom, you can install a single or double bed, which "hides" into the wall or turns into a comfortable sofa.

Instead of a spacious bath, you can put a modern shower. The kitchen can also be planned in accordance with the quadrature and a set can be made according to an individual drawing. A small kitchen is not a sentence, but a great opportunity to implement creative ideas and practice design art.

If you still don’t have a bath on your site, it may be wise to build a guest house with a bath, combining business with pleasure. This will not only save building materials, but will make the rest of the residents of the house more pleasant and comfortable. You can also attach a garage for one or more cars to the guest house, make a small veranda for evening gatherings or install a children's swing.

Any owner wants to save as much as possible, and this is not prohibited at all, but you just need to understand what you can save on, and what is better to invest in to the fullest. So, for the construction of a guest house, you can use materials that are not very expensive, but allow the house to "breathe" and retain heat well. Special attention should be given exterior finish, especially if you plan to rent out housing - the house should attract guests with its accuracy and beauty.

The project of a guest house should take into account not only its geometry and quadrature, but show the final result up to the furniture placed in the rooms. This is not easy to do, especially without the appropriate skills, so it makes sense to entrust the design to specialists. This is one of those cases when saving is not worth it - the cost of construction and future maintenance of the building depend on a correctly drawn up drawing.

Construction technology

If you have a guest house project, then understanding the construction technology is as easy as shelling pears. Many self-taught masters manage to build beautiful and high-quality houses, only by studying the theory on forums and websites.

Guest house foundation

So, first of all, you need to stock up building materials. Since any home starts with a foundation, you will need a lot of sand, gravel and cement. Of course for small house can be based on screw piles which is very common these days. But if you want to work with your own hands and save as much as possible, you can fill in a strip, monolithic or columnar foundation. In our case, it was decided to use concrete blocks instead of pillars.

Useful advice: concrete blocks you need to choose the highest quality, because the reliability and durability of the entire structure depends on it. When choosing, pay attention to the degree of boundary load of the product, their frost resistance, dimensions, as well as the presence of crushed granite in the composition (blocks with crushed stone are stronger).

How to make a base for a guest house:

  1. Make markings on the ground around the entire perimeter of the future building.
  2. Remove fertile layer soil (turf). Depending on the characteristics of the soil, its thickness can vary from 15 to 30 cm.
  3. Level the bottom of the resulting pit and carefully tamp it down.
  4. Arrange the pegs around the perimeter and pull the rope between them.
  5. Make small depressions for the support blocks about 30 cm deep (can be from 15 cm to 30 cm depending on the unevenness of the landscape). It is important that all blocks are on the same level. To check this, put a long rail on adjacent blocks, and a building level on it.
  6. At the bottom of each pit, pour a drainage cushion from a mixture of sand and gravel - it will drain water from the concrete, preventing it from collapsing. The thickness of the pillow should be at least 10 cm (depending on the depth of the pit). When you make the mounds, pour them with water and carefully tamp.
  7. Next, on the drainage cushions, it is necessary to make support platforms that will increase the bearing capacity of the soil and will evenly distribute the load from the building. To do this, prepare a cement-sand mortar and fill it with a single-layer reinforcement with reinforcing or road mesh.

guest house frame

For the manufacture of the frame, a thick pine beam with a cross section of at least 150x100 mm is best suited. Before use, be sure to treat it with an antiseptic, otherwise it will start to rot very quickly. When buying any lumber, pay attention to the degree of their moisture content - it should not exceed 18%, otherwise the structure will be deformed after assembly.

From a thick beam, make the lower trim of the house, the task of which is to fix the entire box of the house on the foundation. It also serves as a support for the floor and walls. Attach the bars so that the size of the strapping is 5-7 cm smaller than the foundation - then the ebb will be installed in this place and the outer skin of the building will be attached. To fix the elements, use self-tapping screws and glue-sealant on wood. To enhance the rigidity of the strapping, it is recommended to connect the bars "in a quarter".

Useful advice: There will be gaps between the lower beams and pillars of the foundations - fill them with a polystyrene foam gasket, and then treat everything with an antiseptic.

TO bottom harness at home, attach logs from a pine beam with a section of 120x100 mm using the “quarter” method, strengthening the fixation with glue and self-tapping screws. To make the base for the floor, glue the bars about 3-4 cm thick to the bottom of the sides of the log. Then lay on these bars edged board, without attaching it in any way - it will be a draft floor.

Guest house walls

After laying the log and subfloor, you can start building walls. For this, an inexpensive pine beam was also used, but with a smaller section - 100x50 mm. Since in our case the house is one-story, the power of such bars will be quite enough to withstand all the insulating layers, sheathing and weight of the roof.

How to make a guest house from a bar:


Guest house roof

To build a roof, you need to correctly calculate the truss system - find out the distance between the rafters, their required power etc. All these indicators depend on many factors: wind load in your area, slope angle, roofing material etc. You will find more information on this topic in the article.

Features of the construction of the roof of the guest house:


It remains only to put top coat. The installation technology depends on the selected material.

Warming and finishing

Walls also require reliable insulation from wind, dampness and cold. To do this, they need to be covered with a windproof film, insulation and vapor barrier should be laid. In principle, this process is very similar to the work with the roof described above, so there should be no questions. Doors and windows should be installed before sheathing and insulation.

Helpful Hint: To minimize moisture ingress, attach the lining horizontally.

After facing, it remains to install the drainage system and lighting. As for internal works, then the same mineral wool(universal insulation), and it can be used both for walls and for ceilings and floors.

Since we still have only a rough flooring on the floor, we need to lay a waterproofing film on it, and only then tightly lay the insulation between the lags. As a cheap alternative to mineral wool, you can fill in expanded clay - it is also quite a worthy insulation. On top of the logs, you can attach a finished plank floor or plywood base for carpet, laminate or tile.

The construction of guest houses is becoming more and more popular every year, but the services of developers are sometimes unreasonably expensive. As you can see, there is nothing complicated in this work, so it is quite possible to cope with it on your own. The house described in this article can really be built in less than a month.

How to save

Finally, let's take a look at a couple useful tips. They will help you save on building a house and reduce the cost of its maintenance in the future.

How to save money on a guest house:

  1. Insulate the walls from the outside - this is the most effective way.
  2. Install quality windows, since more than 50% of the heat escapes through the cracks in the frames and openings.
  3. Use only energy saving light bulbs. Although they are more expensive, they quickly pay off, saving electricity up to 80%.
  4. Be sure to set counters for all consumed resources.
  5. If possible, use alternative sources energy, for example solar panels or windmills.
  6. Install an energy efficient modern technology class A+ or A++.
