The bathroom is a very important space in the home. Whether it is well decorated is directly related to our quality of life. The bathroom is the area where we use the most water, so there are many aspects to pay attention to when it is decorated. So what precautions do we have when decorating the bathroom? Let’s follow the editor to make a detailed understanding.
Precautions for bathroom decoration one
The waterproofing of the toilet is the focus of the entire construction. If the waterproofing is not done well, it will be troublesome. The editor recommends that you do the waterproofing of the wall first, and then the waterproofing of the ground, so as to prevent the waterproofing of the ground from being damaged when the wall is waterproofed again. First make the ground waterproof layer, the coating should be uniform, thickness ≥ 1.5mm. Pay attention to dead angles during construction, between the wall and the ground, between the downpipe and the ground. The waterproof of the wall is better than 180CM.

After the bathroom is waterproofed, a waterproof test must be carried out. The waterproof test is done in this way: we first block all the sewers in the bathroom, and build a “low wall” at the door of the bathroom to carry out the water injection test. The water injection height is about 10cm. Wait patiently for 24 hours. If there is no leakage on the wall and floor of the bathroom, it means that there is no problem with the waterproof of the bathroom. On the contrary, it is necessary to find out the leak point and carry out timely maintenance.

After finishing the waterproof test, we can’t paint the cement mortar right away. We have to wait for the waterproof to dry before we can make a layer of cement mortar on it. After the cement mortar is completely dry, we can lay the floor tiles. The bathroom floor tiles should be waterproof and non-slip, and the wall tiles should not absorb water. When laying floor tiles, the ground should have a sufficient slope toward the floor drain to facilitate drainage.

The next step is to install electrical appliances and bathroom products. This is not easy. There are many aspects that need attention: for example, the water heater is a necessary electrical appliance in the bathroom. We need to install it on the cement wall, preferably a load-bearing wall; The height should be in a certain proportion to the height of the person, so that it is convenient to use; the distance between the hot and cold water is 10-15cm, and it is best to ensure that the hot and cold water pipes are in the center of the basin; Incandescent lamps or natural light lamps, lamps, mirrors, and doors should be protected from fog and water.
From the above, we can see that it is not an easy task to decorate a clean toilet. We should pay attention to the above aspects when decorating the toilet to ensure that the toilet is more comfortable to use. The above is the sharing of the editor about the matters needing attention in bathroom decoration.
