Knowledge on waterproofing of home decoration in the rainy season
Waterproofing of home decoration is attracting more and more attention. Many owners pay for the waterproofing materials themselves after the decoration company has painted them twice. It can be imagined that waterproofing projects are very important, especially In order to avoid repairs and constant trouble caused by house leakage during the rainy season, which areas of the home need to be waterproofed? Let’s discuss them together with Nanning Apple Decoration Huangyu:
. Walls adjacent to bathing equipment< br/> When the washbasin sink is used, water will splash onto the adjacent wall. If there is no waterproof protection, the wall will be prone to moisture and mildew. Therefore, before laying the front tiles, the wall must be waterproofed. However, for non-heavy lightweight walls, it must be at least 2.0 meters high. It is best to waterproof the entire wall.
The wall adjacent to the shower should also be waterproof. The height of the waterproof coating on the wall adjacent to the bathtub should also be higher than the upper edge of the bathtub.
.Re-tiled floors
The waterproof layer is most likely to be damaged when the kitchen and bathroom floors are renovated. During special repairs, try to protect the original waterproof layer as much as possible. Once it is damaged, it must be repaired and remade as a waterproof layer in time.
When replacing floor tiles, remove the original floor tiles and smooth them with cement mortar. Apply waterproof coating with a brush, scraper or roller to evenly apply the slurry to the wet base surface to prevent leakage and blisters. Apply the second coat after one layer dries. Pay attention to intermittent stirring of the slurry during the construction process to prevent precipitation. The mixed slurry should be used up within 1 minute.
.The joints between the wall and the floor, and between the upper and lower water pipes and the ground
Leakage often occurs at the pipe roots that pass through the floor, floor drains, sanitary ware, and Yin and Yang corners. The reasons are caused by loose pipe roots, floor drains and other parts, weak bonding, loose painting, partial damage to the waterproof layer, and insufficient construction length of components.
These corners are the most likely places for leakage. Pay attention to the construction of waterproof coatings on the details of weak parts and be sure to apply them in place. When pipes, floor drains, etc. pass through the floor slab, the waterproof layer around the cavity must be carefully constructed.
The upper and lower water pipes must be covered with cement mulch from the ground up. Apply ~cm of waterproof paint and then make a waterproof layer on the ground to form a composite waterproof layer to enhance the waterproof performance.
.Walls with buried water pipes
The water pipes buried in the wall should be plastered smoothly into grooves that are larger than the diameter of the pipes, and then waterproof paint should be applied to the grooves for waterproofing treatment.
. Sewage outlet and floor drain
The floor of the kitchen and bathroom must be sloped towards the floor drain outlet to ensure smooth drainage without accumulation of water. Waterproof materials in bathrooms are particularly important. During renovation, try to avoid changing the original drainage and sewage pipes and floor drain locations.
.Roof and Four Corners
