Bathroom repair is an important and troublesome lesson. Each trifle is important, because even the most insignificant crack can lead to the complete destruction of all the fruits of your work. In the repair of the bathroom, both safety and functionality are important, along with the chosen design. You don’t want to make repairs every couple of years, only because you wanted any new device.
The most troublesome element of the bathroom will be the floor. It is it that should be protected as best as possible from moisture. To begin with, you will have to sweat over the alignment of the floor, removing everything, even the most insignificant roughnesses and the remains of the past coating. The tightness and waterproofing that will save you in the case of a large amount of water depends on the evenness of the floor.
Another parameter responsible for safety will be the level of field. It is important that the floor level in the bathroom is much lower than in all other rooms. This will prevent water leak in the main part of the apartment, leaving your rooms intact and safety. If the decrease in the level is not seen possible, we advise you to put a threshold from 5 to 10 centimeters high.
No less important stage – pipe wiring. It is important to remember that you can not use the supporting walls. When the pipes are located in the right way, it is necessary to properly primed them so that the condensation holding your bathroom in constant moisture does not form on the pipes. After this, the pipes should be covered with thermal insulation. If in your apartment the pipes are still not protected from heat leakage, take care of this in the near future.
Another troublesome business is electricity wiring. Even if at the moment you are not required, it is better to take care of a small number of sockets in advance. In the future, this will save you a bunch of nerves and funds spent on the renewal of the bathroom. When buying outlets and switches, demand special models in the store that have moisture protection. Ordinary sockets are extremely not recommended.
When processing walls, carefully monitor the corners, which should be located strictly at 90 degrees. This will save you from trouble when applying a coating, or installation of devices. Most often, the problem of repair is precisely poorly processed angles.
