The shower room is a very important functional component of the entire bathroom, and it is also a place that people use every day. Especially the comfort experience must be considered. Then designers must master these design techniques to greatly improve the comfort of the shower room.

1. The floor is treated with marble troughs

1. What is marble troughs?

According to the size of the shower room floor, cut the middle part of the marble floor into several small square grids with a side length of 80mm and a depth of 10mm, or a "1" strip shape, with each grid or bar between , all have slots left.

This kind of marble trough not only has a beautiful and high-looking effect in decoration, but also has a sense of form. The most important thing is that it can play the role of anti-slip and high drainage efficiency and speed. On the other hand, this kind of marble trough also has a very unique feeling in terms of foot feel.

2. Types of marble grooves

1) Grooving and brushing

Marble can be divided into grooves and brushing according to the surface shape category. Grooving is to groove the middle part of the marble to make a number of grids, with a certain spacing between each grid. , about 10mm, while drawing is more densely spaced than drawing.

2) Groove type

Grooves can be divided into straight concave and oblique concave according to the shape of each grid corner. Straight concave, that is, the edges of each grid are at right angles, and the entire groove is in a "concave" shape. This process is relatively simple in processing and processing, and it is also relatively cheap in terms of price.

And oblique concave, The edge of each grid is a bevel, and the cross-section of each slot is V-shaped. This slot shape has a good diversion effect on water and can drain water in a short time.

2. Customized design of shower room water retaining strips

1. What is a bathroom water retaining strip?

Bathroom water retaining strip is a strip device commonly used in the bathroom shower area. It is used to block and intercept the overflow of water on the ground. The height of the strip device forms a certain height difference with the ground to prevent the accumulated water on the shower room floor from overflowing to the dry area. , to achieve the purpose of dry and wet separation.

2. Scale design of water retaining strips

If the bathroom water retaining strips are set too low, on the one hand, they will not be able to fully effectively retain water, and at the same time, the waterproof layer below will be exposed, which will cause damage as the service life is extended. The problem is that if it is too high, it will look ugly and uncoordinated, and there will also be safety hazards for people to trip.

1) Water retaining strip size

Usually the width of the bathroom water retaining strip is generally in three specifications: 30mm, 50mm, and 60mm. The 50mm width is the commonly used size, and the thickness of the water retaining strip above the ground is generally 10mm or 18mm, the thickness of the water retaining strip itself is generally 40-50mm, of course this is the most basic standard size.

2) Customized water retaining strip size

Some people also want to customize the water retaining strips. The width of the customized water retaining strips is generally 65-70mm and the height is about 40-50mm. On the outside of the water retaining strip, it slightly protrudes about 30mm in height. The traditional water retaining strip protrudes from the ground about 10-18mm. The customized water retaining strip is about 15mm higher than the traditional water retaining strip. At the edge of the water retaining strip It is not cut straight, but has a chamfering treatment of about 5mm, which not only avoids the risk of human feet being injured, but also prevents water from accumulating on the water retaining strips.

3. Settings of bathroom alcove

1. What is an alcove?

The niche in the bathroom is a recessed hole reserved in the wall of the shower area, which is used to place shampoo, shower gel , facial cleanser, conditioner and other items used in bathing.If you can make full use of the space on the wall to set up niches, you can not only effectively save space, but also have a very high appearance and sense of form.

2. Where can niches be made?

Niches can only be renovated on non-load-bearing walls or new walls. The load-bearing walls cannot be moved, otherwise the load-bearing structure of the space will be destroyed. In addition, niches have corresponding requirements for the thickness of the wall. Generally, the thickness of niches is 150mm-200mm. If the wall thickness is less than 250mm, it is impossible to make a niche, and the aesthetics and practicality cannot be guaranteed. Especially when setting up a niche in a bathroom, if the wall thickness is not enough, it will not be possible to make a niche. Niches can cause dampness to the walls of the room on the other side of the wall.

1) Make niches at the guarantee

Generally, guarantees will be installed at the positions of the drainage pipes and risers. If the space here is not used, the guarantee will be simply redundant space, which is a waste. Often guarantees can be used to make niches. Storage, usually in the bathroom shower room or wash basin drain pipe.

2) Wall excavation

Wall excavation is to "dig holes" in non-load-bearing walls to create niches. The best way is to reserve the location of the niche before building the wall. If it is an original wall, it needs to be retained. If a niche is to be opened in a non-load-bearing wall, the designer must go through a series of precise and careful measurements and calculations before digging.

3) The practice of making alcoves between cracks

is a typical example of turning disadvantages into advantages. If some walls in the space have irregular shapes, either knock off the excess walls to restore them to a regular state, or It is to make use of it and make the space meet the storage function. For example, if there is a gap in the space, partitions can be set up to transform the gap into an alcove so that it can be fully utilized.

4. Points of attention in niche design

1) Each floor of the bathroom niche should have a slope

If the niche is made flat, when the bathroom niche is actually used, water will accumulate inside. If it is not drained out in time, it will be very easy for moisture, mold, bacteria, and odor to occur. Therefore, each layer of the bathroom niche must be Make a certain slope, and the wall where the niche is located must also be waterproofed.

2) The alcove and the wall tiles should be seamed together

The bathroom niche must be coordinated with the tile seams. If not handled properly, the gap between the partition and the tiles will not match up, which will greatly destroy the aesthetic effect of the niche, and It’s also extremely uncomfortable to watch.
