The bathroom has an important function of bathing, which is very important. How to decorate the bathroom? Let’s take a look at the principles of bathroom decoration.
How to decorate the bathroom
1. Ceiling: Because the moisture in the bathroom is heavy, it is necessary to choose materials that are waterproof, anti-corrosion, and anti-rust.
2. Wall: The tiles on the wall should also be moisture-proof and waterproof, and the tiles must be flat and aligned with the floor tiles to ensure the integrity of the wall and the ground; if the outlet of the water supply pipe is encountered , The tile cutout should be small and appropriate, so that the flange cover on the water dispenser can cover the cutout, making the appearance perfect.
3. Circuit laying: The wire joints in the bathroom must be hung with tin, and must be wrapped with waterproof tape and insulating tape to ensure safety; the wire body must be covered with flame-retardant tubes; all switches and sockets must have moisture-proof boxes, and the location It also depends on the size and location of the electrical appliance to ensure convenient and reasonable use.
4. Sanitary ware installation: It is best to record the distance between the drain holes before the decoration, and select the bathtub, bath room, toilet, washbasin and other sanitary ware according to the size, so as not to be inappropriate in size during decoration; The mud is well sealed and then fixed with expansion screws or glass glue, so that it is easy to repair when the toilet is blocked.
5. Greening: add vitality. The bathroom should not be a corner that is forgotten by green. When decorating, you can choose some shade-tolerant and wet-loving potted plants and place them in the bathroom to make the place more lively.
6. Ground: Before laying floor tiles, be sure to do a good job of waterproofing; after laying tiles, ensure that the brick surface has a drainage slope (generally about 1% is appropriate), and the slope is facing the floor drain; after laying tiles on the ground, it must be done For the closed water experiment, the time should be guaranteed for at least 24 hours; when laying floor tiles, pay attention to the joints and alignment with the wall tiles, so as to ensure the overall sense of the entire bathroom, so as to avoid visually cluttered impressions.
7. Doors and windows: It is best to have windows in the bathroom to facilitate ventilation; if there are no windows, pay special attention to the details of the door. In order to prevent the water in the bathroom from overflowing, the door boundary should be slightly higher than the inside of the bathroom; the gap between the door of the bathroom and the ground should be larger to facilitate the return air; Make a layer of waterproofing between the floor tiles.
8. Waterway transformation: It is best not to make too many changes to the water supply and drainage lines in the bathroom. If you want to change it, it should be determined according to the specific situation. For example, the location of the upper and lower water will be different for different models of washing machines.
9. Ventilation: There must be an exhaust fan in the bathroom, and the exhaust fan must be equipped with a retrograde gate to prevent dirty air from flowing backwards.
Precautions for bathroom decoration
1. Paste the bathroom tiles. After the closed water test is completed, let it dry for 5-7 days, and then make a layer of cement mortar on the waterproof coating. After the cement mortar protective layer is completely dry, you can paste the floor tiles. The ground should have a sufficient inclination toward the floor drain to facilitate drainage. The tiles on the floor should be non-slip and waterproof, and the wall tiles should not absorb water, otherwise there will be color difference. The color of the tile grout should be matched, not too light or too dark. After the wall and floor tiles are pasted, the normal decoration on the ground can be carried out.
2. Treatment of toilet waterproof layer. First make the ground waterproof layer, the coating should be uniform, the thickness ≥ 1.5mm. Pay attention to dead angles during construction, between the wall and the ground, between the downpipe and the ground. The waterproofing of the walls refers to the ground, and the waterproof layer height of the surrounding side walls is ≥ 20cm. For the parts with bathtubs, the waterproof layer should reach all parts that can be sprayed by the shower. Of course, the waterproofing of the four walls can also be done on the top of the wall, and the roof of the bathroom can be waterproofed better.
3. When decorating the bathroom, the effects of ventilation and lighting should be fully considered. If the room is small and dark, the bathroom will become an incubator for bacteria, greatly reducing the quality of life. When choosing floor decoration, you should choose materials such as waterproof, non-slip, tensile-resistant floor tiles or granite, which not only increase the brightness of the room, but also give people a very clean and simple home atmosphere. In the design of the wall, tiles with bright patterns or complicated patterns should not be laid, and tiles must not be laid. Otherwise, once the wall is damp, it will be easily corroded. In terms of decoration, try to be as simple and practical as possible, and use the space reasonably to arrange all the objects needed in life.
4. Toilet waterproof inspection. After the waterproof construction is completed, all the sewers in the bathroom should be blocked, and a “low wall” should be built at the door of the bathroom to conduct a water injection test. The water injection height should be about 10cm. Check after 24 hours. If there is no leakage on the walls and floors around the bathroom, it means that the waterproof quality of the bathroom is very good. On the contrary, it is necessary to find out the leak point and carry out maintenance.
5. The lighting design of the bathroom generally uses soft lighting to give people a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. The bathtub is the protagonist in the bathroom. When purchasing, its color, size, function and shape are all factors to be considered. As long as this is done carefully, the beautiful and warm bathroom will be almost finished.
6. Matters needing attention in bathroom decoration details. The water heater is best installed on a load-bearing wall and is strong. It is best to leave enough space between the two ends of the water heater and the wall for easy maintenance; the size and height of the washbasin countertop should be moderate (H75-85cm depending on the height), and the undermount basin is easy to clean. The waterway requirements of the basin: the distance between the cold and hot water is 50cm from the ground, and the distance between the hot and cold water is 10-15cm. It is best to ensure that the hot and cold water pipes are in the center of the basin; , Mirrors, and doors should be protected from fog and water.
7. As a bathroom, the mirror and bathroom inside are indispensable. Installing a large mirror with excellent brightness on the wall can make people’s vision more spacious, and it is convenient for people to dress up from all angles. The design of the bathroom perfectly fits the wall, creating a small water world. The transparent glass can not only block the water vapor, prevent the splashing of water droplets, but also have a spacious feeling visually, which is very simple and practical. In bathroom decoration, the most important thing is water vapor, so we must attach great importance to the procedure of waterproof layer. After completing this project, we must test it. If it is not totaled, it must be redone again, otherwise it will be too late to change after all the projects are busy.
