If the design organization has taken up planning the placement of buildings on your land plot, there should be no cause for concern - all the rules will be followed. When developing a site plan yourself, it will be useful to familiarize yourself with them from the material of our article. Content:

- Standard distances
- Sanitary rules
Today we will talk about the requirements and norms for placing a bath on the site, which are quite extensive and serve to ensure maximum durability and an adequate level of safety during its operation. Knowing the rules will help you avoid mistakes and unnecessary costs for correcting them. Where to get these rules, how to use them and act depending on the situation - more on that below.
Documentation for placing baths on land plots
The norms and requirements for placing a bath on the site are designed to solve the issues of maximum safety during its operation and to ensure a comfortable and healthy rest. Any violations or deviations from the rules can negate the healing effect of visiting the bathhouse, and even make it dangerous to stay in a hot steam room.
On household plots, the construction of houses, including baths, is regulated by the following documents:
- SNiP 30-02-97 … It contains the basic rules for the development of individual plots and is the main document that is recommended to be carefully studied before starting construction.
- SP 11-106-97 … Regulatory act to help create a development project. Having studied it, you will be able to design and build a bath in accordance with all the rules. This will save you from various flaws and fixes in the future. In addition, the act contains information on all the intricacies of the complex procedure of approvals and approvals: where to go, what documents to submit, how to speed up the process.
Let's try to collect the basic information from them into one kind of guidebook.
Fire safety requirements for the location of the bath
The construction of a bath requires especially careful observance of fire safety rules, since their violations are fraught with the outbreak of fire and possible death of people.
The stove is the most important and crucial part of any bath. Therefore, the safe use of this device should be taken care of first. According to the norms, the temperature of the walls of the furnace should not exceed 120 degrees.
Walls close to the stove are protected from temperature effects in the following ways:
- Plastering with cement-sand mortar on a metal mesh.
- A sheet of galvanized metal on top of a fire-resistant wall surface or through a heat insulator.
- Wooden walls are covered with asbestos cardboard with precautions for the material itself.
The floor in front of the firebox is covered with a sheet of metal 50x70 cm or more. The sheet is attached to the base with screws.
The place where the chimney passes through the ceiling must have a special cut. Additionally, the junction of the chimney with the ceiling must be protected with a sand trap. This will save the room from sparks if cracks appear in the chimney.
Fire regulations prohibit the use of asbestos and metal pipes for the chimney due to their strong heating during the operation of the stove. Coaxial pipes can be used as they are double-walled with a fire-resistant thermal insulator placed between them. Usually they are stone wool.
The bath must have fire extinguishing means - fire shields or fire extinguishers.
Standard distances when placing a bath on the site
There are rules for placing a bath on the site, their observance is regulated by state regulations. Violation of them is highly undesirable, as it can attract supervisory authorities and harsh sanctions.
The current standards determine the permissible distance from the bathhouse to the outdoor fence. It must be at least 3 meters. This is due to the principle of disposal of contaminated wastewater from the building. If there is a separate gutter, the distance to the fence can be reduced to 2.5 m.
Other regulations provide for the following:
- The distance from the bathhouse to the residential building is taken at least 8 m.
- The distance from the well to the bath is taken at least 12 m, this is due to the pollution of groundwater.
- Regarding the neighbors, the rules for placing a bath on the site state that at least 8 m should fall from it to the border of their possessions.
These standards must be taken into account not only within the boundaries of one site, but also when placing buildings on adjacent sites. In other words, if the distance between the bath and the fence is 3 meters, then a capital house on an adjacent site is being built at least 5 meters from this point.
Another important point in placing a bath on the site is related to the fact that even a small part of the neighboring property is not deprived of sunlight. According to the rules, the shadow cast by your building should not be in an adjacent area. This can cause inconvenience to your neighbors. The recommended distance of the building from the fence is equal to the height of the building itself.
Small deviations from the rules are solved by the neighbors in writing among themselves in order to avoid unnecessary problems when changing the owner of the site.
Sanitary rules when designing a bath
Sanitary standards are active only in public baths, and such attention is not paid to buildings for private use. This often leads to numerous violations of the rules that can seriously ruin the rest.
Nevertheless, there are rules for individual baths, and we will now get to know them:
- In a family bath, the air must be changed after each procedure in the steam room.
- Every bather should have a place on the shelf. With a large number of people, you need to take a rug with you for sitting, and rinse it after visiting the steam room.
- After the steam room, it is imperative to wash off the sweat from yourself. It is best to use a warm shower for this.
- Wear rubber slippers in someone else's bath - you don't need skin fungus.
- At the end of the pairing procedures, rinse the floor and shelves in the steam room well with plenty of water.
At the design stage of a bath, you should pay attention to the main points that will help to comply with sanitary and hygienic rules:
- The stove in the bath must be sufficiently powerful and heat-consuming.
- Complete replacement of the air in the steam room must be ensured by ventilation in a short time.
- When decorating a bath, synthetic materials are excluded for use: polystyrene, plywood, plastic, polyurethane foam, paints, varnishes, antiseptics and others.
- The design of the shelves of the steam room should provide for convenient access to the floor under them for washing it and cleaning the leaves that have fallen from the brooms.
- Sewerage should ensure the rapid removal of waste water after cleaning the premises. There must be a drain device in the steam room.
- A warm shower is suitable as water supply.
Before starting construction, it is recommended to study the project and all its features well. For a video about the features of placing a bath on a land plot, see below:
Taking into account the regulations, you can easily decide where to place the bathhouse on the site, cope with the development of the project and successfully go through all the instances related to its approval and approval. After that, you can safely start building a bath.
