We disassemble the advantages and disadvantages of an old type of bath and suggest how to create it on your site.
The origin of the black bath, that is, the baths with a stove or a different hearth without a chimney, belongs to the stone century. Such baths were built in Russian villages until the end of the nineteenth century, some of them have survived to the present day.
Today, black baths began to restore not only as tourist objects - individual developers show interest in them. Exotic is always interesting, and many do not mind boasting their own steam equipped with old canons. But this is not the only plus bath in black.
Bath advantages in black
Bath in black is characteristic of all the advantages of the traditional bath. In it, you can not only warm the body, but also to be bathed with a broom, how much you want to serve a couple, and besides, it is to wash, since the floor is done with the slits or with a yellow water, and the heating tank is usually embedded.
In an old bath, the bath sometimes partially bought into the ground to reduce heat loss through the walls.
The design of the steel heater for the bath with the tap part of the smoke (such a bath is sometimes called "gray").
In the bath, a very moderate temperature is maintained, about 50 ° C. There is no hard heat radiation from a burning oven, this is not a Finnish sports sauna with its 110-120 ° C - such a temperature is really dangerous to health.
The drilled Russian sauna in black keeps heat for a very long time - often until the morning of the next day. There is no need to hurry. All households and guests will have time to enjoy.
With the arrangement of modern baths (including "black"), the interior design is given far from the latter.
However, the usual Russian bath in white has these advantages. And what is the difference? The main thing is, of course, this is a special smell that is recognized by genetic memory. The atmosphere of such a parley contributes to the mental lift, creates a festive mood with a shade of ancient mystery.
And another plus lies in the fact that smoke, soot, soot and coming - effective antiseptics. They destroy fungi, bacteria and viruses, sterilizing the steam room. However, if the bath is located in the country area and use it mostly members of one family, this advantage is not too important.
disadvantages
First of all, it should be understood that the sauna is designed for the traditional unhurried routine of life. It is quite difficult to use such a steam room if you visit the country house mostly on weekends and no one lives there constantly.
The tin ceiling shield above the furnace contributes to a more uniform distribution of steam on the room.
The bath must sleep all day. Even if you do not take into the calculation of large expenses for firewood, it is simply troublesome, because behind a burning oven you need to follow, regularly toss the lamps. And then, when the stones should be folded, groaning the coals and ash from the furnace, to get stones with water, then ventilate the room, opening the door and the magazine turnover, and thoroughly wipe the shelves. Only after that you can start steaming.
The wall, which has a stove, is usually a stone or brick. Brick masonry not only protects brica from fire, but also has significant thermal inertia.
Next - to build a traditional bath is necessary from thick login (with a diameter of 240 mm) or a bruse cross section at least 150 × 150 mm (and better 150 × 200 mm). It is quite expensive. A modern bath is more often standing from a bar 100 × 100 mm and insulate a steam room from the inside with a foil mineral wool.
Another nuance is that all the inner surface of the steam room is quite quickly covered with soot and soak, wash off almost impossible. Over time in the room there is a heavy smell of creosote. Therefore, once every two or three years have to change the walls of the walls, the ceiling binder, the boards of regiments and flooring on the floor. Even if you buy the cheapest board (aspen) and do everything yourself, such a repair of the premises costs at least 10 thousand rubles.
Bath furnace in black
To fold the stove for a bath in black, you will have to find a professional bubble. However, there should be no problems here, and the cost of work will not be very high, since the order of the Black Kamenka is nowhere to have nowhere: it is not necessary to lay out the bors, overbreaking, pipe and other complex elements. In fact, it is a brick box, overlapped from above the steel grille, on which stones are dumping. However, without experience, do not prepare the right solution, and the seams will be thick and uneven.
There are also ready-made stoves for a bath in black. Very beautiful (but very expensive) products of their potstone produces, for example, Tulikivi. And Kastor offers a "advanced" metal structure, where there is a chimney, according to which the bulk of flue gases is given, but the furnace is arranged in such a way that the flame directly heats the stones and the small part of the smoke penetrates the place to create a fragrance.
Finnish talco chlorite furnace for baths in black, the price is 299 thousand.
Round Kamenka with a glass door of the company IKI, an indicative price - 220 thousand rubles.
