First, can the traditional bathroom be changed into a sunken type
A traditional bathroom cannot be converted into a sunken one. Whether a sunken toilet can be made is determined by the original structure of the house, in other words, by the developer, so the ordinary bathroom can not be changed into a sunken toilet.
Second, sinking layer bathroom decoration precautions
1, waterproof construction
Residential new houses generally have the original waterproof layer, but in the family decoration, it may destroy the original waterproof layer because of construction reasons, if the construction master does not pay attention to the original waterproof layer is not repaired, it is easy to lead to water leakage.
In addition, the joint between the drain pipe and the ground is also easy to leak. The general practice is to brush several layers of waterproof for the connection, so as to be foolproof.
2, bathroom backfill
Sunken bathroom has two kinds of decoration design, overhead and backfill, no matter which kind, it is feasible.
However, some owners do not pay much attention to the choice of backfill materials, and even choose construction waste backfill, because of its sharp edges and corners, easy to cause damage to the water pipe, and water absorption is not good, and subsequent leakage hazards are large.
In addition, in the backfill design, the backfill material sinking causes the sinking layer to be elevated, and it may also cause the ground to crack and the waterproof layer to be damaged and leak due to the bearing reason.
General bathroom backfill, will use ceramic backfill, its good water absorption, and light weight, high strength, is a more ideal bathroom backfill material.
3. Installation and construction
Installation and construction is also where we should pay attention. Coating waterproof, be sure to clean the surface of the base, if the base sand, untidy, but also easy due to lack of adhesion, resulting in the failure of the waterproof layer.
In addition, when laying the drainage pipe, it is also necessary to do a good job of protecting the water pipe to avoid damage to the drainage pipe, resulting in water leakage in the bathroom.
4. Secondary drainage design
The principle of secondary drainage is actually very simple, that is, at the bottom of the sinking layer, another drain pipe, so that even if the toilet ground layer leaks, the water is deposited in the sinking layer, it will be discharged into the sewage pipe through the secondary drain pipe, which will not have much impact on family life, equivalent to two layers of protection.
However, the secondary drainage design is also exquisite, if the sewage outlet is too high, then part of the water can not discharge the sinking layer through the secondary drainage outlet; In addition, if the secondary drain is directly opened a pipe, it is possible that the sewage of the upstairs neighbors will flow into the sinking layer from the secondary drain.
In summary, the decoration design of the sinking layer of the bathroom, each process is very important, as long as there is a problem in the middle of the point, it may lead to a headache such as leakage of the bathroom, light bathroom odor, heavy you need to pry tile rebrush waterproof, time-consuming and costly.
Therefore, in the supervision of the renovation construction, we must also take time to pay attention to checking the construction quality, especially the closed water test.
The advantages of sinking toilet are very many, but the construction process requires certain technology, if there is a need to install sinking toilet can refer to the above content.
