The four major details of construction should not be underestimated
As the saying goes, slow work produces meticulous work, small details of waterproof construction cannot be ignored, and some details of waterproof construction cannot be ignored in order to rush the project. In order to create a refreshing home, you should pay more attention to the details of waterproof construction.
Do a good job at the grassroots level
Before waterproofing construction, it is necessary to do a good job in the base treatment of the wall, to ensure that the surface of the base is solid, free of chalking, peeling, drumming, etc. At the same time, the surface of the base layer must be clean and free of dust, release agents and other debris that affect the adhesion of the paint. Moreover, the surface of the base layer should be flat, without major defects, and without obvious repair marks.
The treatment method generally first carefully cleans the base surface to remove floating dust, and removes cement agglomerates and loose base; special treatment is performed on the pipe roots, drainage holes, yin and yang corners, and cavities left after the water and electricity renovation of the wall, and the yin and yang corners should be wiped Into a circular arc (or V-shaped). After treatment, use a brush to finely sweep the remaining dust on the base surface, take an appropriate amount of waterproof paint and dilute it to a milky state, use a roller to dip the diluted material from bottom to top, and paint the waterproof surface first on the wall to completely remove dust.
Waterproof painting should be comprehensive
After the base treatment is done, the waterproof coating should be applied. Pay special attention to the comprehensive waterproof coating. For the water pipes buried in the wall, the groove larger than the pipe diameter should be chiseled, the groove should be plastered, and the waterproof coating should be applied. . If the original drainage and sewage pipes and floor drain positions are changed during decoration, waterproof measures must be strengthened around them.
The height order should be standardized
Generally speaking, the waterproof height of the brush can be determined according to the needs. Generally speaking, the waterproof height of the bathroom is 180 cm, and the non-shower wall should not be less than 35 cm in principle. However, in order to strengthen the waterproof effect, it is recommended to achieve a uniform height of 180 cm. In addition, for the light-weight walls and self-built light-weight walls in the toilet room renovation, it is recommended that the waterproof height be at the top. The waterproof paint must be brushed to a thickness of 1.5 mm according to the national acceptance specification.
Different waterproof coating construction methods are not the same. But it is similar to general liquid paint when brushing, from bottom to top, paint on the wall first and then on the ground. When using, if there are air bubbles in the slurry, the air bubbles need to be brushed away, and there should be no air bubbles. The first pass needs to be painted in one direction only, and the second pass is painted in the opposite direction. The best interval between the first and second coats is about 4-8 hours.
Control the frequency of strength
When painting, pay attention to brushing directly on the base surface with a brush or roller brush, and use the force evenly without missing the brush; generally, it needs to be painted 2 times (depending on the use requirements), and the thickness of each brushing should not exceed 1mm ;The previous one is slightly dry and then the next painting (just not sticky), the front and back vertical cross painting, the total thickness of the painting is generally 1-2mm; if the coating has cured, apply another layer first Wet with water.
How to do a good job in construction inspection
Ensuring that the home is not “wet” not only requires attention to construction details, but also the inspection of waterproof construction, in case poor-quality waterproof materials are used, or construction personnel without professional training are encountered, so that the waterproof and leak-proof effect of the house cannot be guaranteed.
