The two spaces of the kitchen and the bathroom are directly related to water, so it is very important to waterproof these two spaces during the decoration process. Because once leakage occurs, it will cause many adverse consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to master the skills of waterproofing in the kitchen and bathroom. Today, the editor will introduce to you the waterproof methods and skills of the kitchen and bathroom!
The area of the kitchen and bathroom of a normal apartment is small, but there are many pipelines, and there are many junctions between the wall and the ground, and it is often exposed to water, oil and chemical detergents, so the waterproof requirements are very high. Therefore, in addition to choosing special waterproof materials for the kitchen and bathroom, the following standards must be strictly followed in the waterproof construction to prevent water leakage in the kitchen and bathroom.
First, we must deal with the grassroots. First of all, clean the construction site. If there are cracks or hollows around the pipes and floor drains, “V” grooves need to be chiseled for repair and reinforcement. After the base surface is cleaned, it needs to be sprinkled with water as a whole.
Second, the key parts should be repaired. The joint between the wall and the ground and the joint between the sewer pipe and the ground are the places where water leakage is most likely to occur. Before waterproofing, it is necessary to use special repair mortar for kitchen and bathroom to make the “r” angle, and the treatment must be careful. There can be no sloppy.
Third, it is the overall waterproof treatment. After the repair is completed, paint the whole with a durable waterproof slurry dedicated to kitchen and bathroom. In order to achieve a better waterproof effect, the wall surface of the general bathroom should be waterproofed at a height of about 1.8 meters. If possible, it is recommended to make it full height. If it is a light wall (such as gypsum board, etc.), it must be painted with full height ;The wall of the kitchen needs to be at least 0.3 meters high, and the water parts such as the vegetable washing pool should be 0.5 meters higher than the water outlet; the door frame and threshold stone should also be painted in place to prevent moisture return.
Fourth, do a closed water test. After the waterproof layer is dry, all the sewers should be blocked, and a “low wall” should be built at the door for water injection test. The water injection height should be about 20cm. Check after 48 hours. If the water level does not drop significantly, the waterproof quality is qualified. On the contrary, it is necessary to find out the leak point, and then do the closed water test after maintenance until it is qualified.
The above are the kitchen and bathroom waterproof methods and skills introduced by the editor. Hope to help you.
