Many large-scale bathrooms choose to install embedded bathtubs for aesthetics and comfort. However, we also need to know some attention requirements and skills during installation, so as to better use and maintain the embedded bathtub. Next, I will introduce the installation requirements of the embedded bathtub and the installation skills of the embedded bathtub.
How to install the embedded bathtub
Embedded bathtubs can be divided into: wall-mounted bathtubs and wall-mounted above-ground bathtubs. The wall-mounted bathtub will be installed with a platform, collaged with country or retro style tiles, which is more visually significant and can effectively bid farewell to a single decoration style.
During the installation process of the embedded bathtub, first do the waterproofing of the grooved part after the pipeline is done, and then conduct a 24-hour water storage test to ensure that there is no leakage. Decorate the surface of the embedded bathtub with tiles and other decorations, and the height of the embedded bathtub is generally within 600mm. Then connect the upper and lower water pipes, keep them unobstructed, and use foam bricks to build the walls and plaster them. Note that manholes are reserved at the corresponding positions of the downpipes. Wall tiles, artificial stone, mosaic, marble, stainless steel and other materials can be used in the decoration of the embedded bathtub to make its visual effect better.
With the continuous improvement of people’s aesthetic consciousness, embedded bathtubs are loved and sought after by consumers due to their fashionable shape and appearance design. Embedded bathtubs are used more and more in modern home decoration. The height of embedded bathtubs is generally at About 600mm. During the installation process of the embedded bathtub, one end of the drain must be slightly lower than the other end, so as to ensure smooth drainage. It is best to make and install the drain pipe in a slightly inverted S shape, which can effectively prevent odor return. Installing against the wall is the most common installation method for embedded bathtubs, which not only can effectively use the space, but also facilitate water and electricity installation.
Now the height of the embedded bathtub in home decoration is generally below 600mm, which varies according to the actual situation. In the embedded bathtub installation project, the low walls and reinforcing ribs around the bathtub should have sufficient support. It is best not to use bricks or other hard objects to support the bottom of the bathtub to avoid damage to the glaze. Note that the bottom of the embedded bathtub and the surrounding corners should be in full contact Even by force. Note that the overflow pipe of the embedded bathtub and the joint of the drain pipe must be tightly connected. When affixing the tiles, a water inspection opening should be left for the embedded bathtub to be repaired in the future. In order to make the surface look good, you can use glue to stick the tiles on the inspection opening.

The installation height of the embedded bathtub is generally the most suitable height for the embedded bathtub is about 600mm.

The installation of embedded bathtubs should take into account load-bearing, waterproof, maintenance, aesthetics, performance and other factors, so most of them are installed at one end of the bathroom. Therefore, installation against the wall is the most commonly used installation method for embedded bathtubs. First, it can save space, and second, it is convenient for installation of water and electricity.
2. Reserve a hole for easy maintenance
The maintenance of ordinary embedded bathtubs is relatively simple, as long as the bathtub is removed from the countertop, it can be repaired. Embedded massage bathtubs must reserve access openings when pasting marble or tiles for future maintenance. The size of the general inspection opening is 250mmx300mm. For the sake of appearance, you can use glue to stick the same marble or ceramic tile on the inspection opening. So even if the unsightly location is decorated, it is a bright spot.
3. Unified style of material paving
The countertop of the embedded bathtub can use the same style of wall tiles, mosaics, artificial stone, marble, etc., depending on the style of home decoration, it must be consistent with the surrounding environment, that is, the decoration style of the bathroom.

Marble paved countertops have the characteristics of less seams and easy cleaning, and the overall decorative effect is more atmospheric and luxurious. The choice of materials involves style, depending on what you like and the style that suits your family, maybe you can also decorate it with a work of art.
