Waterproofing is essential when we are doing home decoration, and in home decoration, many places need to do waterproof work, such as bathrooms and kitchens, etc. Now let’s talk about the waterproofing of toilets and toilets. What is the best way to buy ground waterproofing materials.
1. How to waterproof the toilet
First of all, choose a waterproof material suitable for home decoration. It is recommended to choose the polymer cement-based waterproof coating/slurry commonly used in home decoration, that is, the market names are: general type, flexible type, K11, JS, GS waterproof coating/slurry, these products are water-based coatings, non-toxic and non-toxic Harmless and pollution-free, simple and quick construction, tight bonding with cement substrate, long service life, strong waterproof effect, moderate price and other remarkable features. Brands with good quality and good reputation, such as: Leibangshi waterproof slurry, Degao waterproof coating, etc.
2. Prepare the base surface (substrate) for waterproofing. Treat the base surface to be firm, flat, clean, free of dust, greasy, wax, and other debris; if there are pores, cracks, and uneven defects on the base surface, it must be repaired and smoothed with cement mortar in advance. It is recommended to paste plastic on the expansion joints. A layer of non-woven fabric must be added to the joints. It is recommended to use Lebangshi plugging king or nozzle grouting material for nozzle filling; the corners of the wall should be plastered into a circular arc (or V-shaped); ensure that the base surface is fully wet , but no clear water;
Third, pay attention to waterproof construction. Brush directly on the base surface with a brush or roller brush, apply evenly, and do not miss the brush; generally need to brush 2 times (depending on the use requirements), each time the thickness of the brush is not more than 1mm; the previous time is slightly dry Then do the last brushing (just not sticky, the general interval is 1-2 hours), and the front and rear vertical cross brushing, the total thickness of the brushing is generally 1-2mm; if the coating has cured, when another layer is painted Moisten with water first. Special attention should be paid to the corners of the wall to be treated into arc shapes before painting, and the painting should not be too thick (total thickness not exceeding 2mm); The hole should be filled with plugging king, and the waterproof material should be brushed to the casing 10cm high and not too thick;
Fourth, pay attention to the position and height of waterproof painting. Ground: Generally, the wall is turned up and brushed 30cm high; the wall around the shower area is turned up and brushed 180cm high or to the top of the wall; the position where there is a bathtub is turned up and brushed 30cm higher than the bathtub.
Fifth, do a good job of testing the waters. After the waterproof paint is painted to form a waterproof layer (about 24 o’clock), store water at a height of 20 cm. After 24 o’clock to 48 o’clock, check whether the water has decreased significantly or go downstairs to see if there is any wet water on the roof. If there is no water, it means waterproof The construction was successful.
If the above five points are done well, the bathroom will definitely be waterproof and “wet”.
Second, bathroom floor waterproof material
1. Environmental protection
If you choose a product that is not environmentally friendly, after the waterproof layer is completed, harmful gases will be released slowly under the thick floor tiles or cement. Therefore, if you want to buy waterproof materials, you must go to a regular building materials store or supermarket and choose a well-known brand. Generally, good brand products are equipped with product inspection reports, product certificates, and the ten-ring mark or CTC of China Environmental Labeling Certification. sign.
2. Strong construction operability
Some waterproof materials have good performance, but they are difficult to operate. Such as anti-adhesive coiled material, it is difficult to seal the seam, and it is difficult to spread the powdery material evenly, and it is even more difficult to seal it when it is exposed and spread.
3. The characteristics are not rigid
Generally speaking, the physical characteristics of waterproof coatings are divided into two types: rigid and flexible. Rigid generally refers to cement mortar. Well, slight earthquakes, ground breaks or small cracks can easily cause water leakage, thus losing the waterproof effect. The flexible waterproof layer is relatively better. The acrylic waterproof coating has better elastic-plastic properties and can adapt to partial deformation of the structure, so the waterproof performance is better.
We have made a brief introduction to the above methods of toilet waterproofing. The waterproofing work must be done in one step. Otherwise, if it is not done well in the early stage, there will often be many loopholes in the later stage. In this case, it needs to be repaired continuously. , It is very troublesome. At the same time, the waterproof material for the bathroom floor should be environmentally friendly, which is conducive to health.
The above is the relevant analysis on the waterproofing of toilets. When carrying out waterproofing construction, we must pay attention to the construction in one step, otherwise there will be more troubles later. Colleagues should also buy environmentally friendly products for the floor waterproofing materials of the bathroom, so as to ensure Human health.
