1. Bathroom waterproofing
Say important things three times! Before renovating the bathroom, you must first prepare the waterproof layer! The first is that the ground is waterproof, the coating must be uniform and the thickness must be greater than 1.5mm. At the same time, special attention should be paid to dead corners such as corners, walls, and between sewers and the ground to ensure that no brushing is missed.
Strictly speaking, the side walls around the walls need to be coated with a waterproof layer as long as the shower can spray. It would be best if it is applied to the top of the wall.
2, bathroom closed water test
waterproofing project is completed, wait until the coating of waterproof coating is completely solidified to conduct closed water test .
First seal the floor drain and pipe openings, build a wall at least 20cm high at the bathroom door, and then start to store water to a depth of more than 20cm, and mark the water level. After 24 hours, check the walls and floors for leaks. If there is leakage, you need to find the leak and repair it in time to avoid future problems.
3. Bathroom floor slope
As a place that uses the most water, the drainage function of the bathroom cannot be ignored.
First of all, the floor elevation of the bathroom should be lower than the interior design, and the floor drain should be at the lowest point of the bathroom so that accumulated water can flow directly to the sewer pipe. When backfilling and leveling the bathroom, the floor drain should be the center and radiate in all directions. Find the correct slope and scrape it flat with a scraper. The plastering surface must be smooth, with no pits, gaps, and no sand on the surface. The standard is that there is no accumulation of water.
