The "4 key points" of bathroom waterproofing, please remember it in advance and don't spend money indiscriminately!
Waterproof can be a cliché issue in decoration. Everyone knows the importance of waterproofing, but how should be waterproof? How to make waterproof? has become a problem that troubles many people. Waterproofing seems simple, but there are many things that need to be paid attention to during construction. Therefore, before decoration, everyone should know some issues that need to be paid attention to in advance about waterproofing.
What I want to share with you today is the "4 key points" of bathroom waterproofing . All the owners remember in advance that you should not spend money randomly during decoration, and do not spend more money. Understand these problems in advance, and when decorating, you can avoid detours.
①The height of waterproof
The height of waterproofing in the bathroom is also very important. We must not only do the waterproofing of the ground, but also the walls.
So before waterproofing construction, everyone needs to master several basic height parameters so that they can be clear when decorating.
First of all, the walls of the shower area of must be waterproof. You must be 5555 cm from the ground , so as to effectively avoid the problem of splashing water during bathing;
The next is the wall next to the toilet of . It must be waterproofed. It must be 530 cm away from the ground or above;
. In addition, the wall near the sink and washing machine must also be waterproofed.
Note:
Everyone needs to note that the above heights are all under the premise of dry and wet separation. If the bathroom in your home is not dry and wet separation, it is best to make the waterproof height of the whole house 180 cm away from the ground , so that the waterproof effect will be better.
②Waterproofing agent
Some friends may think that the more times the waterproofing agent is applied, the better the waterproofing effect. It is precisely because of this idea that everyone has spent a lot of money on waterproofing.
If the waterproofing agent is applied too many times, the waterproofing agent we need to buy will naturally be more, and it will cost more.
The correct way to do it is to apply the waterproofing agent twice, it is completely enough!
should not apply too many times, and naturally not too few.
Note:
When applying waterproofing agent, everyone needs to pay attention to the painting direction of the waterproofing agent twice, and should remain vertical.
If the waterproofing agent of the first pass is brushed horizontally, then the second pass should choose the vertical brushed method. The interval between applying waterproofing agent for
must be at least two hours. must wait until the first layer is completely solidified before brushing the second layer.
③Number of water closure experiments
When doing waterproofing construction, in addition to paying attention to the number of times of brushing anti-seepage agent, you should also pay attention to the number of times of water closure tests .
Many friends think that the closed water test is enough to do it once, but in fact, the closed water test should be done twice.
After the waterproof coating construction is completed, we need to perform the first water-closing test.
During the first water-closing test, we need to block the bathroom floor drain and drain pipes, and then enter and exit the ground at least two centimeters of water depth, and wait for 24 hours to observe whether there are any problems such as water leakage.
After the bathroom tiles are fixed, we need to perform the second water-closing test.
The second water closure test was mainly In order to avoid damage to the originally prepared waterproof layer during the laying of tiles. The method of the second water-closing test of
is the same as the first time. If there is a leak, it must be repaired in time.
Note:
If you find that there is a leak in your home after completing the closed water experiment, then needs to perform another closed water test after the repair is completed to ensure that the repaired areas will not continue to have leaks.
④Don’t care about the color of the waterproof coating
When you do waterproofing, you may also find that the color of the waterproof coating mentioned by many friends at home is different. Sometimes the colors of the wall and the floor are completely different.
There has always been a saying of "yellow walls, green spaces, blue waterproofing" .
is talking about wall fixation needs to be yellow, ground fixation needs to be green, and waterproof needs to be blue.
So many friends think this approach is correct. is actually just adding some color paste to the waterproofing agent, and there is no big difference.
Sometimes colorants are added to the waterproof layer, mainly to play a differentiating role, and it will look better after painting, but all waterproof coatings will be blocked after decoration, and the color used will not affect the waterproof effect.
The quality, effect and color of the waterproof coating have nothing to do with it, and it has nothing to do with the price . You can also buy transparent waterproofing agents. Of course, if you like it, you can also buy waterproofing agents of different colors.
Summary:
Bathroom waterproofing is very important. Before decorating, everyone should also take care of some waterproofing, so that they can avoid detours and spend less money when decorating.
