Tips for home improvement: waterproof tile in bathroom

Toilet is one of the important areas in family decoration, and waterproofing and tiling are the top priorities in bathroom decoration. This paper will introduce the whole process of waterproof tiling in the bathroom in detail, so that your bathroom is beautiful and practical.

waterproof treatment

Waterproofing of toilet floor is the most important thing in decoration. The coating should be uniform and the thickness should be above1.5 mm. During construction, attention should be paid to dead corners and joints, such as between wall and floor, and between sewer pipe and floor. Wall waterproofing refers to the ground, and the waterproof layer height of the surrounding side wall should reach more than 500px. If there is a bathtub, the waterproof layer should cover all shower areas. If conditions permit, the roof of the bathroom is also recommended to be waterproof.

Tile laying

After waterproof treatment, close the water and dry for 5-7 days. Then add a layer of cement mortar on the waterproof coating, and when the protective layer is dry, you can start laying floor tiles. The ground should have enough inclination to facilitate drainage, the floor tiles should be non-slip and waterproof, and the wall tiles should avoid absorbing water to keep the same color. After pasting the wall and floor tiles, you can start the ground decoration.

Detailed precautions

The size and height of the washbasin countertop should be moderate, and the basin under the countertop is easier to clean. Waterway requirements: the distance between the hot and cold water pipes and the ground is 1250px, and the spacing is 10-375px, so as to ensure that the hot and cold water pipes are located in the center of the basin. The lighting in the bathroom should be bright, avoid incandescent lamps or natural light, and the lights, mirrors and doors should be fog-proof.
