Bathroom decoration is not the largest area of home decoration, and the details may not be the most cumbersome area, but it has a great impact on our daily life. The bathroom is a good place to wash away the lead dust. Although the decoration of the bathroom does not need to be as expensive and energy-intensive as the living room and bedroom, and it does not need to be too magnificent, it must be designed reasonably. Generally, the space of the bathroom is limited, so we need to reasonably arrange all the sanitary ware, sanitary ware, and home appliances that need to be placed in the bathroom in the limited space. Pay attention to many details: material selection, layout, upper and lower water pipes, circuits, waterproof, leakage, humidity, etc. If problems such as sewer blockage or water pipe leakage occur frequently during renovation, then thinking of the bathroom will also be equivalent to trouble, so there is no enjoyment.

1. Pay attention to anti-skid. A large part of our daily life is carried out in the bathroom, such as taking a shower, brushing teeth, washing face, washing clothes and so on. These daily lives are dealing with water, therefore, the floor of the bathroom must be non-slip, otherwise the children or the elderly at home will slip, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Second, pay attention to ventilation. We all shower, wash and wash clothes in the bathroom, so the bathroom will inevitably have a lot of water vapor. If you don’t pay attention to ventilation, the bathroom will easily grow mold; in addition, the convenience in the bathroom will also cause the air to be dirty. There is an exhaust fan, and the exhaust fan must be equipped with a retrograde gate to prevent dirty air from flowing backwards, and it is better to have a ventilation window.

Third, pay attention to the laying of the circuit. The wire joints in the bathroom must be tinned, and waterproof tape and insulating tape must be wrapped successively to ensure safety; the wire body must be covered with a flame-retardant tube; all switches and sockets must have moisture-proof boxes, and the location also depends on the location of the electrical appliance. The size and location are determined to ensure convenient and reasonable use.

Fourth, pay attention to waterproof. Taking a shower or shower will cause a lot of water vapor in the bathroom. If you don’t pay attention to waterproofing, it will not only make the decoration materials moldy, but also make people slippery. At the same time, if the water vapor is too large, if it collides with the exposed circuit, it is likely to cause a great electric shock, or even more terrible danger. Therefore, the waterproof measures in the bathroom must be done well.

Five, pay attention to the threshold design. The design of the threshold of the bathroom is very important, because it can prevent the water in the bathroom from flowing out, so the decoration design of the threshold should pay special attention to that the plane design of the threshold must be inclined towards the inside of the bathroom, which is conducive to drainage. Will not seep to the outside. The second thing to pay attention to is that the width of the threshold must be the same as the width of the door frame, and the thickness of the threshold must also be the same as the thickness of the wall, so as to reduce the chance of cracks when laying the floor.

Sixth, pay attention to the laying of floor tiles. There are several points to pay attention to when laying bathroom floor tiles. The first thing to pay attention to is that the floor tiles cannot be laid flat, because the water in the bathroom needs to flow down the drain, and the floor tiles need to be laid with a slight inclination, so that the water can flow down the drain smoothly. The second thing to note is that the joints of the floor tiles must be the same, and must be aligned with the joints of the wall tiles.

7. Pay attention to the light

Bright Wei can have natural light shining in, and all light in Dark Wei comes from the reflection of lights and tiles themselves. The bathroom should use soft and not direct lighting; if it is a dark bathroom and the space is not large enough, the tiles should not be black or dark, but white or light toned, so that the bathroom looks spacious and bright.

8. Ceiling installation

Generally, there are aluminum gusset ceilings on the market. For home use, aluminum gussets have a longer lifespan than PVC. Moreover, aluminum gussets are of good quality, with many shapes on the layout, and the price is not very expensive. , It’s not about stepping on the bottom of your feet, why should it be so thick. Moreover, the aluminum gusset ceiling is very simple. Just measure the size and support the dragon frame and buckle it directly. If the roof leaks, you can buckle it down to check whether the thickness is due to your own installation. The operation is simple. PVC is generally one piece. If you want to deal with the roof The problem of water leakage is afraid that a hole needs to be cut, which will affect the appearance.

Nine, pay attention to the water

Sewage is an important step in bathroom cleaning. Pay special attention to the following points:

(1) The height of the water seal of the floor drain must reach 50mm, so as to prevent the air in the drainage pipe from flooding into the room.

(2) The floor drain should be about 10mm lower than the ground, and the drainage flow should not be too small, otherwise it will easily cause blockage.

(3) If the area around the floor drain is very rough, it is easy to catch hair and sludge, causing blockage, and it is especially easy to breed bacteria.

(4) The aperture of the floor drain grate should be controlled between 6 and 8mm, so as to effectively prevent hair, sludge, sand and other dirt from entering the floor drain.

Ten, pay attention to the purchase of sanitary ware. If you have noticed the above nine points, but the purchase quality of sanitary ware is not good, or the experience does not achieve the effect you want, then the bathroom will not be too comfortable to use. Because it is often dealing with water, the quality of sanitary ware must first be solid enough, corrosion-resistant, and the appearance is not easy to dull. In the market background of homogenization of bathroom products, if you want to choose a bathroom with good quality and high quality, you need to have a unique vision. What should we pay attention to when purchasing bathroom products?

Toilet category. Pay attention to the flushing method and water consumption when purchasing

There are two common flushing methods for toilets: straight flush and siphon. Generally speaking, the flushing toilet flushing noise is louder and easy to smell. The siphon toilet is a silent toilet with a high water seal and is not easy to smell. Bath class. Bathtubs are divided into ordinary steel bathtubs, acrylic bathtubs, cast iron bathtubs, and 3.5mm thick steel bathtubs according to their materials. Generally speaking, ordinary steel bathtubs are easy to clean and have a single shape; acrylic bathtubs have richer shapes, but have a shorter lifespan and are not easy to clean after aging; cast iron bathtubs have a long service life, high grade, high price, and troublesome handling and installation.

Basins. In addition to the shape of the washbasin, consumers want to redecorate the bathroom, but they did not expect so many points to pay attention to!

The most important thing to pay attention to is the quality of the glaze

Because of the good glaze, it does not hang dirty, the surface is easy to clean, and it is still 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.

When choosing a toilet, pay attention to whether the excretion port is ‘slippery’

When buying a toilet, many owners pay more attention to whether the appearance is beautiful and whether the seat is comfortable to sit on. These two points are just superficial. In fact, when the toilet is flushed, it is more important whether the dirt can be flushed away smoothly. Consumers usually test the effect of flushing water when purchasing, but the smooth flushing of tap water does not mean that the ‘dirty things’ can also be flushed away smoothly. When purchasing, in addition to checking whether the flushing water is fast and powerful enough, it is best to check whether the bottom of the drain is ‘slippery’ enough. You may wish to reach into the bottom of the drain and feel it to see if the glaze is evenly distributed and slippery. It is relatively rough, and when used in the future, it is easy to cause blockage due to excretion of dirt.

The floor of the bathroom decoration should be non-slip

The floor inside the bathroom must have good anti-slip performance. When buying some tiles, it is because of the customary style, without considering the function. After laying the tiles and using them, it is found that they are not suitable for use in the bathroom. Therefore, we are buying bathroom tiles. When decorating special floor tiles, we must tell the merchants where we want to use them, and ask them to recommend some cost-effective tiles for us to use.

Ventilation windows and vents for bathroom renovation

When taking a hot bath or soaking in a bath, the ventilation in the bathroom must be good. The ventilation holes in the bathroom decoration must be unobstructed. We can open the ventilation holes when we take a bath so that we will not appear when taking a bath. A case of tightness in the chest. It is very unfavorable for friends who take a bath in the bathroom.

Precautions

The selection of bathroom equipment should be considered according to personal living habits and functional needs. In addition, the allocation and division of space is also an evaluation factor that affects the purchase. According to the space size and pattern distribution, it is very important to choose the shape of the bathroom.
