Decoration knowledge | Bathroom decoration avoidance strategy, several details you must know

The bathroom, as a place that combines functions, is visited more frequently and for longer periods of time every day than other functional areas in the home.

According to statistics from the World Toilet Organization, each of us has to go to the bathroom at least six times a day, and at least three years of our lives are spent in the bathroom. If we add the time for bathing, changing clothes, and washing clothes, we will spend five years in the bathroom....

If something goes wrong with the bathroom from the beginning of the decoration, and you encounter problems such as odor, leakage, and overflow, you will be in trouble. Only a comfortable and well-functioning bathroom can lay the foundation for a warm and comfortable home. It can be said that without a good bathroom, ideals can become reality.

▲A bathroom like this is a nightmare

Next, follow Xiaoi to see how you can avoid several major pitfalls in the bathroom.

1. Bathroom waterproofing ////

If waterproofing is not done well, everything will be in vain

The most important thing in building a house is to lay the foundation, and the most important thing in decoration is the hard decoration and concealed engineering. As a space that is often in contact with water, the bathroom waterproofing project is of utmost importance. If the waterproofing is not done well, it will leak and mold in the later stage, and you will regret it.

▲I thought the bathroom was perfect when it was just installed, but when problems arose it was too late!

At the same time, for many old houses, most of them have the problem of waterproof aging. Regardless of whether there is water leakage, waterproofing must be redone during renovation, and then a 24-hour water-tightness test should be carried out to avoid problems from the source.

For waterproofing projects, iColor follows the following key points:

The base layer must be clean, without cracks, dust, hollows, oil stains, etc.

▲Apply interface agent

▲Mesh cloth reinforcement

The base layer needs to be reinforced. iColor uses Nippon paint's multi-functional base layer interface agent to improve the bonding strength between the waterproof layer and the base layer.

For places prone to water leakage, such as corners and floor drain root canals, mesh cloth and waterproof coating are used for reinforcement, and the height of the pipe part should not be less than 100mm .

▲Waterproof coating is being applied

Apply waterproof cross -shaped paint twice to ensure corners are waterproof and airtight.

▲Bathroom waterproofing under construction

The bathroom waterproofing must reach a height of 1.8m to prevent leakage and moisture overflow.

▲Water-tight test in progress

A water-tightness test should be carried out 24 hours after the waterproofing is completed . The waterproofing is considered complete only if it completely passes the test.

iColor Aike Decoration adopts the full-system Nippon paint waterproofing solution, from the base to the waterproofing, with professional and targeted products, multiple insurances, and heavy protection to prevent leakage and hollowness.

2. Bathroom drainage ////

If drainage is not good, the water will flood Jinshan Mountain

Choose a rectangular floor drain, which will not only maintain the aesthetics but also increase the drainage capacity.

The floor tiles are made into U-shaped concave floor drain tiles to enhance the drainage function of the floor drain.

The tiles in the shower area are raised or pulled out to form a circular, dispersed drainage pattern to enhance the drainage function.

3. Bathroom water and electricity engineering ////

Modern people's decoration is inseparable from water and electricity engineering

The sewer is silent and guaranteed to effectively reduce the noise of upper water use, improve the quality of life, avoid real-time broadcast type bathrooms, and use it easily and stress-free.

The distance between water and electricity pipes must not be less than 30cm , and they must not appear in the same groove. In principle, water pipes and strong wires must not cross each other. If water pipes and weak wires cross each other, the water pipes must pass under the electrical pipes.

Water and electricity wiring and electrical conduit layout are horizontal and vertical , and shielding measures are taken at the junction of strong and weak electricity to prevent interference.

Water pipe protection and heat preservation treatment of hot and cold water pipes can effectively avoid pipe aging and prevent the generation of condensation water .

4. Bathroom deodorization ////

My bathroom refuses to smell

▲iColor Bathroom Selection Series

The all-copper odor-resistant Moen 3955 floor drain is an industry-leading installation auxiliary material that is anti-corrosion , anti-rust , and anti-breakage, and eliminates odors.

When decorating, remember to make a water trap , that is, a water seal , which is a water column of a certain height set on the drain pipe of the sanitary appliance or inside the sanitary appliance to prevent the gas in the drainage pipe system from leaking into the indoor accessories. The smell of the bathroom with a water seal and without a water seal must be different.

5. Bathroom cleaning ////

Avoid all cleaning dead corners and create a clean bathroom

Choose a suspended bathroom cabinet to avoid cleaning dead corners. If it can be suspended in the air , it should not touch the ground. Install an under-counter basin to increase the countertop space while eliminating dead corners and making cleaning easier. Everything is done towards the goal of eliminating cleaning dead corners.

▲Wall-mounted toilet with hidden water tank

▲Storage space above the toilet (wall mounted)

In addition to the common floor-type decoration, that is, direct drainage, you can choose concealed decoration such as wall drainage, directly embed the water pipes into the wall, avoid the common cleaning dead corner problems, make good use of the wall space, save floor space, and make the bathroom look bigger.

6. Bathroom Storage ////

Squeeze every last square foot of your bathroom

▲The powerful storage space inside the mirror cabinet

Although the bathroom is smaller in area than other spaces in the house, it is a multifunctional area that integrates washing, showering, and going to the toilet . How to store things and whether there is enough storage space are big problems. Mirrors, as essential products in the space, are combined with practical storage functions to create mirror cabinets .

Choose a niche and use the method of digging deep into the wall to reduce the pressure on the ground storage space. According to different house types and bathroom spaces, you can choose to set it above the toilet, in the dry area of ​​the bathroom, in the shower area, etc.

It should be noted that the depth of the niche is generally 15-20cm , so the wall to be excavated cannot be a load-bearing wall, and the thickness of the wall must not be less than 25cm . You should also ask the mason and tile master and designer in advance to align the tile texture, otherwise you will be driven crazy by obsessive-compulsive disorder in minutes.

Make full use of the vertical space on the wall to help with storage, and you can do it in one step without having to worry about it later. Use corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel as the main body, and the stainless steel brushed surface. In a humid space like the bathroom, details determine success or failure.

▲Wall-mounted drain can be made directly into a drawer

▲Floor type

First of all, drawers are the best choice for any space. The advantages of wall-mounted cabinets are apparent here. Because the water pipes are directly inserted into the wall, the storage space is very regular. The bathroom cabinet can be directly made into a drawer, and the storage capacity is increased.

However, for various reasons, the owners who finally choose the floor layout do not have to worry too much. As long as the size is good and the planning is done well, there are many practical storage gadgets on the market now. However, Xiaoi still says: the pull-out drawer type is the first choice~

7. Separation of wet and dry areas in the bathroom ////

Say goodbye to the old Chinese-style toilets of the past~

As housing space becomes increasingly tight, the three-separation bathroom layout is favored by many families. By isolating the basin area, toilet area, and shower area, the three spaces can be used independently, without congestion when used by multiple people, and the floor is easier to keep clean and dry.

▲iColor Bathroom Selection Series

Customized I-shaped shower room can meet the needs of different families. It is equipped with a double-impedance heater and a constant temperature three-outlet shower head. It can separate wet and dry areas while giving you a soft and comfortable shower experience.

We use 304 corrosion-resistant and rust-proof stainless steel , 3C certified tempered glass, and explosion-proof film on the glass surface to prevent the 1818 Xiao Zhang incident and carefully protect the safety of every owner.

8. Tile paving ////

Nippon Paint's full range of ceramic tiles paving to avoid hollowing and falling off

When decorating, I watched the tiles laid by the master, but after a few years, they became hollow and cracked. Little did I know that laying tiles in the bathroom is the most challenging part of the master's craftsmanship and the quality of materials. Whether the craftsmanship standards are met directly affects whether the tiles will have problems such as hollowing and falling off in the later stage.

▲Nippon Paint professional paving system

From base interface agent to rough leveling mortar, from internal corner leakage treatment to rigid-flexible waterproofing, and from professional tile adhesives to caulking agents, Nippon paint uses professional products + professional process standards, adopts German thin-sticking technology, and adds multiple inspection mechanisms to prevent tile hollowing from the source.
