Many people say that the bathroom is an inconspicuous place. When decorating it, you can just decorate it casually. Why do you need so much trouble? but! ! ! Is this correct? The answer is definitely no. In the past few days, Tao Jun has met with everyone with this question: How should bathroom tiles be laid?
The bathroom is a place that is relatively humid all year round. How to prevent water leakage in the bathroom? This issue is obviously of great concern to everyone, so here are some things you should do before decorating
1. Before bathroom decoration and construction, the design of the water circuit must first be determined, and the possibility, feasibility and availability of the design plan must be considered in detail. First lay the water, electricity and heating pipes and then level them
2. When doing bathroom waterproofing construction, the base layer should be treated first. Remove the original decoration materials, clean up the loose soil and cement, use cement mortar to level the ground first, and then perform waterproofing treatment. The surface must be smooth and dry. This can avoid leakage caused by uneven thickness of waterproof coating.
3. When laying the waterproof coating, it should be applied evenly, and there should be no leakage, bulging or falling off. The thickness of the waterproof coating layer should not be less than 1.2mm, otherwise the waterproofing effect will be affected.
4. Pay attention to waterproof dead corners during construction. The joints between walls and floors, as well as the joints between water pipes and the ground, are the places where problems are most likely to occur.
5. After the waterproof layer of the bathroom is constructed, block all the sewers in the bathroom, build a 25cm high ridge at the door, and then pour 20cm high water into the bathroom.
6. After 24 hours, check the surrounding walls and floors for leaks. If leaks occur, they need to be repaired in time. After repairs, do a 24-hour water test and then proceed to the next stage of construction if there are no leaks.
7. After the water shielding test is completed, it usually takes 5 to 7 days (it takes 5 to 7 days for the waterproof coating to form a waterproof film). Then make a protective layer of cement mortar on the waterproof coating layer. It protects the waterproof coating layer and facilitates veneer tiles. Be careful not to damage the waterproof coating layer.
8. After the cement mortar protective layer is dry, you can lay wall and floor tiles or spray paint or lay anti-wallpaper on it for normal decoration.
9. Bathroom tiles must be laid on the wall and on the floor, so that they will be more durable and practical, and there will be no water seepage no matter how long you live.
The above is the article introduced today about how to lay bathroom tiles. In fact, the easiest way is to see how your own decorator lays them, and then compare them. Wouldn't it be nice to lay it out like this for a while?
