Arrangement of a bathroom in a wooden house

Wooden houses are distinguished by special characteristics that determine special requirements when creating a bathroom in them. You will learn more about how to create a beautiful and functional room from this article.

The tree is environmentally friendly, but rather capricious material. Houses from it are often erected in dachas and in villages. Waste buildings look original and beautiful.

In order to properly equip the toilet in the house from a bar, it is necessary to take into account the following nuances:

• this material is susceptible to moisture;
• with improper processing of wood and poor ventilation, fungus and mold may develop in it;
• within a few years after the construction of the house, it shrinks;
• the geometry of the room may change as a result of weather changes.

Thus, the arrangement of the toilet in such houses requires accurate calculations and the use of quality materials.

The process of arranging a room includes 7 seven main events:

1. design;
2. sewage device;
3. water supply connection;
4. creation of a ventilation system;
5. waterproofing;
6. installation of furniture and plumbing;
7. Finishing work.

A separate bathroom can be equipped even in the smallest room, since for this it is enough to install there only a small toilet bowl and sink.

When choosing a room, it is important to consider the following.

• Do not place the toilet over the living room. It may be near or below it.
• To simplify the creation of a ventilation system, one of the walls should be exterior.
• In a multi-storey building, it is best to place bathrooms on top of each other. This will greatly facilitate the conduct of all communications.

The size of the bathroom is determined depending on the available area, individual preferences, the number of toilets and their type. but The minimum bathroom size is considered to be 0.8x1.2 m, and for a room with a washbasin - 1.6x2.2 m. Create a full-fledged sanitary room on the square not less than 2.2x2.2 m.

Moreover, the distance from the toilet to the sewer should not be more than 1 meter. In another case, it will be necessary to install an alluvial system.

When designing communications, it is important to remember that the tree is deformed depending on the season and weather conditions. Moreover, the house may sag, which will lead to a change in the height of the walls. Therefore, for communication use damping systems or leave a gap that will compensate for the deformation of the walls and floor.

First, sewer is carried out. For this, plastic pipes with a diameter of 100-120 cm are most often used. To create a drain, it is necessary to make a special gutter in the foundation. It is strictly forbidden to pass pipes through the walls, as they must have a stable base. Inside the pipe is fixed by means of suspensions. The sewer outlet itself needs to be insulated, due to the large embedment depth.

Then, the water supply is installed, which must be completely tight. All joints should be in sight in order to eliminate leaks in time. So that the pipes do not catch the eye, they are hidden in a special box.

To avoid odors in the toilet, you need to create a good ventilation system. Moreover, this will help maintain an optimal indoor climate. There are two ventilation schemes, namely forced and natural. The first option is implemented through the installation of several fans, and for the second option there is enough free circulation hole in the wall or ceiling.

A natural ventilation system is created when one of the walls of the bathroom is external. The ventilation hole is placed in the ceiling or the upper part of the wall and closed with decorative grilles. If the toilet is located between other rooms, then the implementation of ventilation of this type is impossible.

This process is especially important for creating a toilet in a timber house. This will prevent the development of mold or mildew in the room. Moreover, if water leaks through the floor, over time it can lead to the destruction of the house.

The fastest waterproofing method is the use of roll materials. You can use roofing material or more modern options made of fiberglass. It is important to remember that roofing material is made from paper, so it does not have a long service life. On the other hand, the abundance of moisture is not typical for individual bathrooms.

The process itself begins with laying the substrate on which the waterproofing sheets lie. All sheets must be laid overlap, which will provide an optimal level of protection.

To create a beautiful and functional design it is important to pay particular attention to the choice of finishing materials.

To decorate the floor, use the following finishing materials.

• Mosaic. This solution looks stylish and suitable for various stylistic trends. The most popular is the mosaic, which is created using a small tile of two or three colors.
• Tile. Porcelain tile is considered the best solution for flooring. The coating looks elegant and stylish, moreover, it is durable and moisture resistant. There are various design solutions. Depending on personal preferences, you can find monophonic options or brighter with different patterns or patterns. To lay the tiles in a wooden house, you first need to make a screed. Otherwise, the tile may crack or peel off as a result of "floating" floors.
• Wood. Often, owners of wooden houses decide to leave wooden floors in the toilet. It is important to choose high-quality and durable wood, and after laying it will need to be coated with a special water-repellent composition. An inexpensive type of wood is teak. Such boards are resistant to moisture. You can trim the floor with larch, because thanks to a special method of processing this tree, fungus and mold do not develop on it. Installation of wood does not require a screed, but only moisture insulation. The joints between the boards will need to be sealed with sealant.
• Laminate. This coating is gaining popularity more and more. To design a toilet, it is better to choose moisture-resistant coatings. There is a wide selection of colors as well as laminate texture.
• Linoleum. This is an old-fashioned coating that is popular for its affordable price. Under it should be waterproofed, and the joints treated with welding. Laminate is widely represented in the modern market. You can find both imitation of natural wood, and unusual options with various patterns.

The most popular ceiling decoration solution is wood. It looks organic and fits well into the rustic interior.

Can be used dropped ceilings. They have an attractive appearance and perfectly protect the wood from moisture and high temperatures.

Plastic boards are rarely used in wooden buildings, as they spoil the appearance of the room. However, plastic is a fairly strong and durable material. And the variety of its design will allow you to choose the best solution for your taste.

Wall decoration must be approached carefully. In humid rooms, fungus develops quickly, so the material x finish should be moisture resistant. So that the walls complement the overall interior of a wooden house, it is best to choose wood. Boards should be smooth and treated with moisture resistant agents.

Can be used plastic panels. They easily sheathe wooden walls.

The classic material for the walls of the bathroom is tile. It goes well with wood.

For a separate bathroom, you can use wallpaper. The tandem of this finishing material with wood looks stylish and cozy.

Another original option - this is a combination of several materials.

If you decide to create a combined bathroom, then it is better to make a small wooden partition between the toilet and the bath or shower. This will help to divide the room into functional zones and make its design more interesting.

The location of plumbing and furniture should be considered at the planning stage. The toilet should be located next to the sewer hole. The maximum distance from it to the sewer is 1 meter, otherwise the installation of a pump will be necessary.

A separate toilet can be equipped with a toilet and a small sink, which is important for hygienic purposes.

For small bathrooms it is better to choose a small-sized sink, and for larger rooms you can purchase any option.

If there is free space in the toilet, you can place wardrobe and shelves. These can be separate wall or floor structures. Also suppose a cabinet built under the sink. This will create a place to store cleaning products and other things needed in the bathroom.

Another important element of the interior is mirror. For bathrooms, installation of large models is not required, a small mirror will be sufficient. It can be of any shape, supplemented with shelves or lights.

Light wood goes well with fine floor mosaics. Unusual design makes use of horizontal and vertical stacking of boards.

To protect the wall from splashes, the area near the sink can be decorated with romantic beige and white polka dot tiles. The top of the wall should be decorated with wood. For the floor, it is better to choose a calm white tile.

Another example of a combination of white with natural wood. In a rather spacious bathroom, you can install a toilet, bidet and sink.

The tree is a soft beige color that goes well with tiles that mimic natural marble. The interior will be complemented by snow-white plumbing and an original chandelier.

The rustic interior in the L-shaped room can be created using a sink with a metal leg and a mirror in an unusual frame.

The country-style interior looks beautiful. White, green and yellow are perfect for him.

The mosaic looks stylish and bright. To focus on the wall, it needs to be decorated with tiles of several colors, and the floor with plain small tiles.
