The objective of the present invention is to create a simple prefabricated steam sauna for the bathroom of a multi-storey residential building, with a cabin that is installed directly on a standard bathtub. Reducing the time for installation, assembly and disassembly of the sauna cabin. Making it more convenient to use a steam sauna by allowing you to take a shower before and after using the sauna. The space between the bathroom wall and the entrance to the stall allows for the use of a bathtub shower installation. The proposed invention is intended to solve the problem of creating a steam sauna, a simple prefabricated structure, which allows it to be used by installing it directly on a standard bathtub in the bathroom of an apartment in a multi-storey residential building, which creates convenience and comfort of use. The solution to this problem is achieved due to the fact that the steam sauna cabin is installed directly on a standard bathtub; a person is placed in the steam sauna cabin sitting on a bench. Steam is supplied to the cabin from a factory-made steam generator installed on the floor next to the bathroom. The steam generator allows you to create a temperature in the cabin from +45 to +50 degrees Celsius within 15-20 minutes. The cabin is a collapsible structure consisting of a wooden base into which four wooden posts are installed. On the racks, through four round holes, a cabin cover with side walls attached to it made of a two-layer polyethylene film 60 microns thick, used for constructing greenhouses, is put on. The cover is made of 6 mm thick polycarbonate, the size of the cover is equal to the size of the cabin base. The installation height of the cabin cover on the racks is adjusted using rubber cuffs with a diameter of 32×40 mm, placed on the racks. Wooden posts with a diameter of 30 mm, a length of 1200 mm, and a diameter of 25 mm at the bottom. The cuffs move along the posts and are fixed at the desired height due to the coupling of the cuff and the post. There is a hole in the cabin lid for a person’s neck, with a foam rubber seal, which allows to minimize the release of steam from the cabin and avoid heating the person’s head located outside the steam sauna cabin. The cabin allows you to place a person in it in a sitting position. The simplicity of the design makes it possible to quickly assemble and disassemble the steam sauna cabin. The space in the bathroom, between the cabin entrance and the water mixer, allows you to shower before and after using the steam sauna.
