The waterproof of the bathroom is a problem that everyone is concerned about, and it is the focus of attention in the decoration of the bathroom. Recently, some complaints about waterproof work have been received one after another. In order to save labor, some decoration companies deceive consumers that waterproofing is not 100%, or shirk their responsibilities. Here are some ways to do a good job of waterproofing.
In order to make the waterproof period longer in the future, the paint generally needs to be painted 3 times. In order to allow the paint to fully dry, it is not possible to choose to do it in rainy or humid weather. Generally, the drying period of one-component environmentally friendly polyurethane coatings is about 3 to 4 days.
Including the one-component environment-friendly polyurethane coating, the cement layer covering the coating and the facing bricks, the materials used per square meter generally do not exceed 400 yuan. In this way, for a bathroom with a size of 5 square meters, it will cost about 2,000 yuan to re-do waterproofing, and the bathtub and other bathroom facilities that need to be reconfigured will be calculated separately.
After the waterproof construction is completed, all the sewers in the bathroom should be blocked, and a “low wall” should be built at the door of the bathroom to conduct a water injection test. The water injection height should be about 20cm. Check after 24 hours. If there is no leakage on the walls and floors around the bathroom, it means that the waterproof quality of the bathroom is very good. On the contrary, it is necessary to find out the leak point and carry out maintenance.
The walls should also be waterproofed. In order to achieve a better waterproof effect, the wall of the general bathroom should also be waterproofed with a height of about 30cm to prevent accumulated water from seeping through the wall. The height of the waterproof treatment on the wall adjacent to the bathtub should also be higher than the upper edge of the bathtub.
