Decoration is a major event for every family. Many consumers don’t know the situation before signing the contract, and designers usually “just assume you know if you don’t ask”.
In the past few years, the position of the bathroom in the decoration was very inconspicuous, but now, the bathroom has been paid more and more attention by fashion chasers, and they have made every effort to build it.
Environmental protection, health, fashion, and practicality, people have higher and higher requirements for bathrooms. What aspects should be paid attention to when purchasing and installing bathroom supplies?
1. Five tips in purchasing sanitary ware
1. Residents on low floors of toilets are suitable for “wash-down” toilets
Pay attention to the flushing method and water consumption when purchasing toilet sanitary ware. The common flushing methods of toilets are divided into three types: direct flush, siphon and flush down.
The direct flushing type has gradually withdrawn from the market due to the loud noise of flushing water and the tendency to off-flavor. The deodorizing and water-saving siphon type and flushing type have become the mainstream of the market.
The siphon type is a silent toilet, and it is not easy to offend the smell. The flush type has a wider sewer pipe and a greater momentum.
For residents with lower floors, it is best to choose the wash-down type, because the pipes on the lower floors are shorter and the impact of the wash-down type is greater.
Therefore, it is more appropriate to choose the wash-down type for low floors, and the siphon type adopts the principle of pipeline vacuum, which is more suitable for high-rise buildings.
If the family has two bathrooms, it is best to install a siphon type in the “main bathroom”, because many people have relatively high work pressure.
The siphon type is quiet, which is more suitable for the “main bathroom”. The “guest bathroom” should be installed with a wash-down type.
In terms of water consumption in toilets, the state stipulates that water-saving toilets with a flushing volume of less than 6 liters are water-saving toilets. Now many manufacturers have set up large and small water (3 liters and 6 liters), and all water-saving toilets will have signs. You can consult the sales staff when purchasing.
Installation tips: Do not fill the bottom of the toilet with cement sand. If the seat bucket is hidden under the floor tiles, there must be a 2 mm gap around the seat bucket. The gap must be filled with glass glue, otherwise it will happen Cement expands with heat and contracts with cold, damaging the product.
2. The bathtub is best to choose the bathtub before laying floor tiles
Bathtubs generally include two categories: “skirt bathtub” and “skirtless bathtub”. At present, “skirt bathtub” has become the absolute mainstream in the market.
According to reports, bathtubs are divided into ordinary steel bathtubs, acrylic bathtubs, cast iron bathtubs, and imperial concubine bathtubs according to their materials. Generally speaking, ordinary steel bathtubs are easy to clean and have a single shape.
Acrylic bathtubs have more shapes, but their lifespan is shorter, and it is not easy to clean after aging; cast iron bathtubs have a long service life and high grade, but their prices are higher, and handling and installation are more troublesome.
Bathtub accessories are the same as toilet and basin accessories. Different bathtubs require different types of accessories, and their functions and significance cannot be ignored.
Installation tips: The anchor bolts must be leveled before the bathtub is installed. During the installation process, no iron objects should be placed in the bathtub to avoid rust spots or product scratches.
What needs to be specially reminded when installing a bathtub at home is that it is best to choose a bathtub before laying tiles.
3. Determine the reserved size before purchasing the basin
With the refinement of bathroom decoration, matching basin bath cabinet products have appeared in many people’s homes.
To choose this type of product, you should first choose the specifications and styles of the basin according to the actual situation of the bathroom area.
If the area is small, you should generally choose a pedestal basin, because using a pedestal basin in a small-area bathroom can enhance the sense of ventilation in the bathroom; if the area is large, you can choose various types of basins, because the basin can enhance the sense of class.
In addition to the shape of the basin, the most important thing is to pay attention to the quality of the glaze, because a good glaze will not hang dirty, the surface is easy to clean, and it will still be as bright as new after long-term use.
When choosing, you can face the light and observe from the side of the ceramic from multiple angles. A good glaze should have no stains, pinholes, sand holes and air bubbles, and the surface is very smooth.
Matching the washbasin are all kinds of bathroom cabinets. For ordinary consumers, the first thing to pay attention to is the material of the bathroom cabinet. The most common ones on the market are oak, camphor wood, catalpa wood, etc. Good wood prevents warping and deformation .
Consumers must shop around. If you consider the price, you can also consider PVC boards.
The second is that before buying, it is best to measure the location of the bathroom cabinet at home, so that you know what you know, and the promotion staff can recommend it. If you are confused, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Installation tips: When installing this type of product, you need to pay attention to the flatness of the wall and the ground, especially when installing the hanging pot, the nut must be installed with a rubber pad first, and be careful when tightening to avoid damage caused by excessive force.
