There are tips for choosing a waterproof material
First, the threshold
The threshold is a barrier that prevents water from overflowing the bathroom. Its design and construction points are:
1. The upper plane of the sill is to be tilted towards the inside of the bathroom so that the water droplets can slide smoothly to the inside of the bathroom;
2. The threshold should be the same as the width of the door frame, and the thickness of the door frame must be the same as the thickness of the wall so that there will be no large access when laying the floor tiles, and the chance of creating a breach will be relatively reduced.
Second, the ground waterproof
There are many kinds of waterproof material, and the most popular one is water repellent. When laying a waterproof layer, about 20 cm above the foot of the wall should be laid, at least not lower than the height of the lintel.
When there is a reserved pipe on the floor, the waterproof layer needs to wrap the reserved pipe. After the waterproofing of the floor is done and dried, it must be immediately primed with cement mortar or protective measures to prevent damage to the waterproof layer.
Third, the laying of floor tiles
There are three essentials for laying floor tiles:
1. There must be about 1 percent of the discharge slope, and the slope is towards the floor outlet;
2. The seams of the tiles must be the same in thickness, and must be aligned with the seams of the tiles;
3. When the bathtub front wall is made of tiled tiles, the tiles are best affixed to the bottom of the wall first, and then attached to the wall to avoid breakage.
Fourth, washing face
Washing countertops to choose 'full body' (that is, the surface of the table surface material and internal material composition, color consistency), can not choose only one surface plastic shell countertops, because only the plastic surface of the table once damaged can not be repaired. (To test whether the countertop is 'fullbody', use light to illuminate from the back side. Light-transmissive is the 'fullbody' countertop). In addition, joints must be applied to the joints between the tabletop and the washbasin to prevent water from oozing from the joints.
Fifth, the toilet
Generally when installing a toilet, it is customary to use a cement mortar padding to fix the toilet. In fact, this method is wrong. After this method is used to fix the toilet, the toilet cannot be disassembled and installed again. If the pipe is seriously blocked, only knock it off. Toilet one way.
