Before the construction of a bath, it is very important to decide on the type of roof construction, the material used, and the angle of the slopes. The roof for a bath has cardinally different, from the roofs erected on other buildings, features: the load on it occurs not outside, but is created indoors. Significant evaporation from water in the steam room allows you to penetrate a large mass of steam in the attic and settle there in the form of moisture on the supporting structures of the roof.
Varieties of bath roofs
Choosing a specific type of roof for a bath, you should pay attention to the architectural design of the building and take into account its technical parameters. Rooftop baths are of two types, some of them require an attic space, the latter do not.
If the bath room is not large in size, the roof is made for it, usually a single-pitched one, with a small angle of inclination, while the roof is combined with the ceiling of the bath, the cost of its construction is low. This is an option in which there is no attic space.

The presence of an attic space requires the construction of a gable roof for the bath, it has a more attractive appearance, requires more effective thermal insulation, taking into account the fact that the most intensive use of the premises occurs in the winter.

A broken roof for a complex bath is rather rare, it is used in case of construction of a two-storey building or a whole complex with outbuildings. It promotes the rapid descent of snow from it, thanks to a large angle of inclination, and reducing the load on the bearing structures. Such a roof construction provides additional space for using it, for example, as a rest room or for storing inventory.

If desired, you can combine an open terrace with a bath, then the roof is also made for them, one style of decoration and the same building material is used. Most often for such a construction a gable roof is used , which on one side lies on the main wall, and the other - rests on the pillars installed in the form of pillars on the terrace.
