May 13, 2024
The waterproofing process in the bathroom should not be careless. As the saying goes, "if you make a mistake, everything will fall." Therefore, follow the steps as below.
Before decorating the bathroom, it is necessary to first determine the design of the water circuit, lay the water, electricity, and heating pipes.
The waterproof material should be selected as environmentally friendly polyurethane coating, which can tightly wrap the pipeline and ground, and penetrate into the gaps, and it does not shrink after drying, so it is now widely used.
Nowadays, both the bathroom and the bathroom are located together, so the bathroom is often covered with water vapor, which is used as a roof protection for the bathroom water, it is best to first apply a layer of water glass on the roof of the shed, and then use PVC buckle boards with good waterproof performance.
When carrying out waterproofing construction, the floating soil and cement should be cleaned first, and the ground should be leveled with cement mortar before waterproofing.
When handing over the house, the clean water room and bathroom are generally treated with waterproofing, and the decoration mostly involves laying floor tiles and leveling the ground. The new layout of the water supply and drainage pipelines requires the waterproofing layer of the bathroom to be redone during renovation.
After the construction of the waterproof layer in the bathroom is completed, block the sewer of the bathroom, build a high ridge at the entrance, and then pour water.
Check for any leakage on the surrounding walls and floors 24 hours later.
After 7.5-7 days, apply another layer of cement mortar protective layer on the waterproof coating layer.
After the cement mortar protective layer is completely dry, you can lay wall tiles or anti wall paper for normal decoration.
So, should we choose waterproof wall paint or wallpaper? Please refer to the following analysis:
1. Waterproof wall paint: easy to apply, unique in effect, easy to clean, and can also prevent mold. Because it is very viscous, it can be filled
The fine pores on the flat wall surface. Many brands of waterproof wall paints on the market have good performance.
2. Waterproof wallpaper: When using wallpaper in the bathroom, the principle of "wet dry" zoning should also be followed. Wallpaper can be directly washed or soaked with water, so it can be used in combination with mosaics, tiles, and other materials.
Tip: The bathroom is often prone to slipping after getting wet, so it is best to use anti slip tiles; Meanwhile, the ground should be oriented towards the ground slightly tilt the leak to facilitate flushing and cleaning.
