What are the defects of the Japanese integral bathroom that everyone is blowing?

What will pop up in your mind when you mention the whole bathroom? I guess it's the following:

▲ This is very common in the domestic market. But I used it for the first time in a hotel in Russia, and it is estimated that it is also very popular in the international market.

No! Although it looks very integrated, it is only a shower room, and at most it is a part of a bathroom.

The whole bathroom is to extend what looks like an independent and detachable thing to the whole bathroom. Let the bathroom become an integrated thing with convenient loading and unloading like a container.

Just like when you were a child, you fantasized about whether you could tear down your home and move to a small broken mountain behind the village. The whole bathroom has basically realized this dream. The integrated waterproof chassis, wallboard and top plate form an integral frame, and independent sanitary modules composed of various sanitary wares are installed in the frame.

You don't have to tile, you don't have to lay the floor, and you don't even have to brush it for waterproofing. Open this small bathroom box like a courier, and then put it together in your bathroom like a puzzle.

Bathroom decoration is like playing.

Code for acceptance of construction quality of building ground engineering

At present, the most widely used materials are SMC and sheet molding compound. Because of its excellent electrical insulation, mechanical properties, thermal stability and chemical corrosion resistance, SMC is used in electrical, communication engineering, railway, automobile and other industries.

Needless to say, this material is waterproof and stable, and there will be no problem for 20 years. Moreover, the bottom chassis drains water directly from the pipeline, and there is also a chassis after seeping down from the ground, which basically does not leak water.

There is also a kind of honeycomb composite material in China, which uses aluminum core honeycomb, polymerization agent and glass fiber, and its strength is also very high. Compared with SMC, it does not need to open the mold, and supports personalized customization through industrial high-pressure integrated molding.

But compared with mass-produced SMC, there is a gap in cost and efficiency.

In short, don't worry about the waterproof and durability of the material.

There are many powerful places in the whole bathroom. Generally speaking, these four:

1. Mass production and low price.

From tens of thousands to thousands, the whole bathroom is not expensive in Japan. Compared with the bathroom where we spend a lot of money on a wall floor project, the whole bathroom is still cheap.

2. Full function

In addition to the bathroom cabinet, sink and shower room, the whole bathroom in Japan must have a bathtub. In such a small bathroom, everyone has a bathtub, and it is very happy to think about it.

And you don't have to worry about hard installation problems such as slope drainage. After all, it is seamless.

3. Easy installation and short time.

It only takes 4 hours to install at home, and the bathroom is really installed in one day. After all, it is equivalent to a 3D puzzle, and there is no other technical work except the nozzle. So it's easy to install employee training.

The bathtub is insulated, so it is not cold to step on the ground.

After all, there is no direct grounding, I can't feel the chill of the ground, and I don't have tiles. It's hard and cold to step on. The material determines that the ground is not cold, and the multi-layer integral bathtub makes the water not cold.

Why is the product so good, I still advise you not to start easily? This seemingly small thing, the source is more in line with expectations-Japan. The whole bathroom is not a recent invention. 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, Japan invented the integral bathroom in order to realize the rapid decoration of athletes' apartments in batches.

Yes, 1964, the whole bathroom was born when we were still adobe houses and tube-shaped buildings.

Without any manpower, mass production and installation are very simple, and integral bathroom has become popular in Japan since the Olympic Games. In the next few decades, integral bathroom gradually became popular in Japan, and now it has become the absolute mainstream of bathroom, reportedly reaching 95%.

What is the concept of 95%? Almost every household has this kind of bathroom. You go to relatives and friends' homes, hotels and homestays, and you have this kind of bathroom. On the one hand, the overall bathroom itself is good, and it can be popular, and it also has a lot to do with the architectural situation at that time. From 65438 to 0969 (almost at the same time), Japan began to vigorously promote standardized housing, and a large number of architectural schemes appeared. By the 1970s, the basic data of architecture were basically finalized.

▲ Of course, it is not static, but standardization has been going on. For example, after 1995 Kobe earthquake, Japan began to implement light steel structure buildings ... standardized buildings made it possible to use the whole bathroom. As I said just now, the whole bathroom made of SMC is mass-produced. There are only a few molds, and a new size requires a new mold, so customization of different specifications is not supported, but the efficiency of mass production is very high.

▲ The specifications can't be changed by yourself, but the interior can now be DIY to a certain extent, and there are still many choices.

Simply put, it is the same house, and the bathroom is almost the same, so the whole bathroom sells so smoothly.

▲ The production and installation principle of integral bathroom is basically copy and paste.

What are the disadvantages of copying and pasting toilets into China in Japan? I think I can understand without telling you.

The first is that there is no such environment. Are there standardized toilets in Japan? We only have grotesque bathrooms. Even if it is not weird, it is normal for the property to have norms.

So don't think about mass production. Unless you cooperate with the developer and install the hardcover room of a real estate for you, it is difficult to use the same type of SMC material in Japan. This also explains why the whole bathroom in China is mostly tooling and only cooperates with hotel developers.

▲ Individuals also have integral bathrooms, but there are too few businesses to choose from.

The second is the lingering sense of cheapness. Most collectively installed bathrooms in Japan have a sense of cheapness.

Although the whole bathroom is small and complete, there is always a sense of plastic. The Japanese bathroom is notoriously small (of course, China's is also small), so you can say that the whole bathroom is warm, humanized and even has a sense of design, but it is definitely not advanced.

▲ There is always a feeling of a high-speed rail bathroom ... In addition, I am talking about a Japanese-style house (there are four separate installation methods for houses, and this is just one of them). I can't help it if I have to compare the big bathroom of a mansion.

Just now, I said that you can choose the interior, but if you choose more, it will be expensive. In China, it is better to brush waterproof bricks than to let the Japanese rich man brush waterproof bricks. After all, the whole bathroom is a symbol of civilians.

▲ I didn't expect that it was a mansion to brush waterproof tiles!

Again, it's not easy to change your heart. It's normal to nail a cupboard or something in your own home, but not the whole bathroom. The content is packaged when it is packaged, and it is not easy to add or subtract.

▲ If the towel rack is not installed at first, just fix a nail in the ordinary bathroom. The whole bathroom can only use hooks, and nailing is impossible.

Finally, it is a waste of space. The whole bathroom is equivalent to another room in the room, with six skeletons of at least 50mm each, and the upper, lower, left and right spaces are all contracted. The bathroom is small. Instead of cooperating with the whole bathroom to design, we forced a whole bathroom into it, which was even smaller.

The new house has good drainage on the same floor, and there is a sinking space (sinking toilet) below, in which the whole bathroom can be embedded. If it is interlayer drainage, installing a whole bathroom will make the bathroom higher than other rooms.

▲ This is probably the feeling, but it will be much higher than the ground.

To sum up, the whole bathroom is still difficult to try in China. ...

▲ I saw a friend buy the whole bathroom installed by Vanke's house, and felt it was too small (water pipe noise, not waterproof, etc. ) and the space is small, it cost tens of thousands of dollars to dismantle and reinstall. ...
