1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the sunken bathtub
advantage:
1. Realized maintenance on the same floor. Because it drains water on the same floor, the construction, maintenance, and use of the bathroom are all carried out on this floor, and the residents downstairs will not be involved. So you can solve your own problems by yourself, and you don’t have to bother downstairs.
2. It can reduce the noise of the bathroom. The drainage pipes are arranged on the floor, and covered by the backfill cushion, it has a better sound insulation effect, thereby greatly reducing the drainage noise.
3. It facilitates the drainage arrangement. The structure of the traditional bathroom, the pipe position is fixed, but if you want to adjust the position of the sink and other sanitary ware according to your needs, you have to break through the floor and take over the pipe in the bathroom on the lower floor, which is very inconvenient and will also cause problems. It affects the private space of the owners on the lower floor.
4. To achieve a flat top surface, because there is no drainage pipe. The sunken bathroom floor is not crossed by the pipes of sanitary appliances, which reduces the chance of water leakage and can effectively prevent the spread of germs.
shortcoming:
1. Increase the difficulty of construction. The sunken bathtub has high requirements on the waterproofing of the toilet. The sunken structure layer needs to adopt perfect waterproofing, support and isolation measures, and the waterproofing work is more important.
2. Increase the difficulty and cost of maintenance. The pipes of the traditional bathroom are exposed to the outside. If there is a problem that is difficult to deal with, you only need to remove the ceiling of the downstairs bathroom for maintenance. However, the pipes of the sunken bathroom are sealed under the floor of the bathroom, so it is more difficult to maintain.
3. There is a hidden danger of water leakage. Because the sand and gravel layer filled in the middle will gradually sink after a long time, the above cement layer and waterproof layer will have cracks, and water will leak down to the filled area. Because there is a waterproof layer underneath, the water cannot leak out, and the result is accumulated in the fill layer. After a long time, the entire fill layer is filled with water. Eventually, as time goes on, the waterproof sink below will also leak, and there will be a lot of accumulated water.
2. Is the sunken bathtub suitable for small apartments?
The sunken bathtub is suitable for small apartments. The bathtub made in this way does not occupy the space and looks more spacious. In fact, the activity area in the bathroom does not need a lot, but if it is too crowded, the visual effect will be uncomfortable, and the sunken bathtub can improve this problem. Just make a combination of a shower head and a bathtub, which can be used by the whole family, and don’t worry about the problem of water flowing out. Therefore, if conditions permit, it is very good to make a sunken bathtub in a small apartment.
It can be seen that the sunken bathtub has both advantages and disadvantages, and the sunken bathtub is more suitable for small apartments, and there are certain benefits if it is installed well.
