It is very important to decorate the bathroom because it involves not only the waterway but also the circuit. If there is an error or the sequence is reversed in this process, the original project needs to be dismantled and redone. Therefore, when decorating the bathroom, it is necessary to determine the process of the project, including preliminary preparation, construction process, etc., to ensure that the quality of construction will not affect the service life and comfort of the bathroom. Today, we talk about important things you should know when it comes to bathroom design.

Bathroom Decoration Steps

Step 1 of bathroom decoration

In fact, the first step is more about the preparation in the early stage. Many people started to decorate the bathroom without looking at the drawings. As a result, they found something wrong halfway through. What they had done before was invalid. Therefore, from the perspective of the overall planning, the design drawings of the decoration should be confirmed first, and any doubt should be corrected and modified as soon as possible.

Step 2 of bathroom decoration

The hydropower project is the top priority of bathroom decoration, so it must not be too casual and must be taken seriously. From the perspective of safety, it is better for the water pipe of the bathroom to go up than down. It is better to go up for the electric wire. Any leakage or leakage can be repaired in time. Many construction companies who are greedy for convenience will make water and electricity unified on the ground, and even set a trough in the bathroom.

Step 3 of bathroom decoration

After the water and electricity are completed, the base course and walls shall be cleaned, and a small hammer shall be used to knock on the walls and ground. If there is a hollow sound, it is proved that there has been a hollow here. It must be knocked off and filled with cement. All walls and floors shall be cleaned. Iron nails or protruding parts found shall be removed in time. Finally, wash them with clean water and let them dry.

Step 4 of bathroom decoration

The next step is to do waterproof works, which is the key to normal use in the future. Therefore, it must be checked clearly, especially around the water pipe and the position of the wall corner. Once water seepage occurs, it will affect the corridor or the wall of the room. The waterproof coating should be applied evenly. The shower room should be well-drained to prevent water from flowing back to the outside of the bathroom.

Step 5 of bathroom decoration

The last is to install various bathroom facilities, which should be installed from the inside to the outside, usually the shower, the door of the shower room, then the bathroom, and then the wash basin. If the order is reversed, moving things in at that time may be affected, and it is easy to bump. Finally, install various switches and plugs into the wall. Pay attention to the waterproof protection of the plugs in the shower.

Bathroom Waterproof Construction Process

1. Handle the base surface of the waterproof position

The base surface shall be treated to be firm, flat, and clean without dust, grease, wax, and other debris; If the foundation surface has pores, cracks, and inequality defects, it shall be repaired and troweled with cement mortar in advance. It is recommended to paste plastic strips at the expansion joints, add a layer of non-woven fabric at the joints, and it is recommended to use rapos plugging king or nozzle grouting material for filling the nozzle; The corner of the wall shall be plastered into a circular arc (or V-shaped); Ensure that the foundation surface is fully wet without open water;

2. Waterproof construction of foundation surface

Brush directly on the base surface with a brush or roller brush, with even force and no omission; Generally, it needs to be painted twice (depending on the user requirements), and the thickness of each painting shall not exceed 1mm;

The last painting shall be carried out after the previous painting is slightly dry (it is hard to stick to the hands, usually 1-2 hours apart). The front and back vertical cross painting shall be carried out, and the total thickness of the painting is generally 1-2mm;

If the coating has been cured, wet the other layer with clean water. Special attention shall be paid to that the corner of the wall shall be treated into a circular arc before painting, and the painting shall not be too thick (the total thickness shall not exceed 2mm);

All pipes passing through parts shall be sleeved, and the holes in the casing and wall shall be filled with plugging king, and the waterproof material shall be painted until the casing is 10cm high without being too thick;

3. Waterproof construction of the facade

Pay attention to the position and height of the waterproof painting. Ground; The general wall is turned over and painted 30cm high; The wall around the shower area shall be painted 180 cm high or to the top of the wall; Where there is a bathtub, the painting height is 30cm higher than that of the bathtub.

4. Water test

After the waterproof coating is applied to form a waterproof layer (about 24 hours later), the water will be stored for 20 cm. After 24 to 48 hours, check whether the water is significantly reduced or go downstairs to check whether there are wet water points on the roof. If not, it means that the waterproof construction is qualified.

Precautions For Bathroom Decoration

1. When buying materials, you must first calculate the approximate consumption. When buying waterway materials, I thought that after the completion of the waterway map, the amount of materials used would come out, so I trusted the foreman. Later, I found that the water pipe was bought 5 meters more, 27 copper heads were actually used, and 40 were actually bought. There should be 13 left, and the actual remaining 7 were 6 short. After repeated questioning, the foreman recovered six copper heads that "accidentally mixed up elsewhere" from other construction sites. The circuit calculated the materials in detail in advance. After comparing the calculated results with the requirements of the Foreman: the wire was changed from 30 meters to 12 meters, and the network cable was changed from 20 meters to 13 meters. I corrected the big differences in other materials such as insulating tape and plugs.

2. If there is an old sewer pipe on the ground, it is often damaged when the ground is smashed. Do not hesitate to lay a new one. Do not save it to ensure safety.

3. Don't abandon the sunken storage space on the bathroom wall. It's very easy to use and beautiful to stick ceramic tiles. Of course, the tile workers' Union thinks it's too much trouble to say "ugly" and "not popular now". Don't be fooled. It's because the decorators want to be lazy.

4. Don't use the edge closing line at the external corner of the ceramic tile. It's beautiful only when the bricklayer grinds the 45-degree angle for splicing.

5. When installing the sealing cement for the aluminum-plastic pipe, it is necessary to supervise the workers on-site to reserve expansion space for the hot water pipe according to the construction standards. In short, the aluminum-plastic pipe should not be sealed firmly. It is better to loosen it.

6. If the floor of the bathroom is higher than the hall, it can be solved with the transition of the door stone.

7. If you add pipes to move the sewer outlet, you should check whether the old sewer is unblocked before connecting the new pipe with the old sewer inlet. At this time, you should spend money to dredge it to avoid a lot of trouble in the future.

8. There is no need to buy aluminum gusset plates at high prices. The effect of very cheap aluminum gusset plates is far better than that of PVC. No matter how much money you spend, you can't see a significantly different effect.

9. When buying aluminum gusset plates, special attention should be paid to the keel rather than the aluminum gusset plate itself (the goal of aluminum gusset plates is too large to be easily manipulated). There are often ghosts on the keel.

10. It is difficult to find a satisfactory color for the floor tiles, but two unsatisfactory colors can achieve good results by staggering the mosaic and turning a 45-degree angle.

11. The ground waterproof agent shall be used under supervision.

12. The gradient of the bathroom floor should be considered before laying bricks. The gradient according to the national standard can not achieve the effect of rapid drainage, and if you use the odor-proof floor drain or ultra-thin floor drain, it will greatly aggravate the difficulty of drainage. It is a very comfortable thing that the water with a larger slope can run clean quickly.

13. LG platinum point fireproof board used for cabinet door has a good effect, but it may be considered to customize the finished door board if it is redecorated. The hand-made door is not exquisite, only for reference.

14. The price of famous brands in the big sink market is not cheap, and the quality of miscellaneous brands is crazy.

15. The balcony cabinet door had better use the fire-proof board. The environment on the balcony is very bad.

16. When making the bathroom basin cabinet, you should first consider the size of the basin so that it will not fit in the future.

17. Glass is a very heavy thing. It's best to buy it nearby or think about the transportation method first.

18. When installing the door lock, pay attention to waxing the lock tongue. If it is damaged, it will be late to wax it again. If there is no door stopper, pay attention to prevent the handle from hitting the wall and damaging it.

19. Matte paint is more beautiful than high gloss. Don't listen to the painters. If the painters say that matte is not easy to brush, it must be because of its poor technology. Similarly, if the painter says that polyester is not as good as polyurethane, he is lying to you

20. Insulating tape and raw material tape are not bought in small stores. The quality of large supermarkets is obviously much better, and the quantity is sufficient. The converted price is not expensive.
