Waterproof big bottom to see those waterproof areas that are often overlooked

When it comes to waterproofing, the first reaction of the decoration users is that the bathroom is waterproof. They rarely notice that the kitchen and the balcony are still waterproof, so these two areas are often ignored. However, in real life, if the waterproofing of these two places is not enough or not done, it will bring a lot of trouble to the home life. Therefore, Xiaobian carefully organizes the waterproof strategies of those areas that are often overlooked.

First, the balcony is waterproof

A small balcony, light and shadow, a row of vertical blinds to "sculpt" the sun, with the blue and white floor tiles on the ground, giving a very comfortable feeling. The current balcony is no longer the storage room for storing items in the past, especially the owner with a small room size, paying great attention to the use of the balcony. The layout of the balcony should not only be practical, spacious, and beautiful, but also pay attention to safety. The key to balcony design: the first is waterproof, the second is waterproof, and the third is waterproof.

When the wind and rain come, the first waterproof door is the door and window of the balcony. The quality and sealing of the doors and windows should be good, and the inside and outside of the waterproof frame should not be mistaken. The second waterproof seal refers to the waterproofing of the balcony floor. The waterproofing of the balcony floor is to ensure that the ground has a slope. The lower side is the drain; in addition, ensure that the balcony and living room have a height difference of at least 2 to 3 cm. In order to make the height difference between the living room and the balcony have certain difficulty, you can use a marble plate to decorate, and use the cement and the draining glue to make the caulking and leakproof at both ends of the slate, which is practical and beautiful. The third waterproof seal is to keep the floor drain leaking. In heavy rain, when the rainfall is greater than the drainage capacity of the floor drain, it is possible to form water on the balcony floor. When the water volume is too large, it may flow through the waterproof frame of the sliding door into the room. Although the possibility is not big, but it happens occasionally, so I have to prevent it.

Second, the kitchen waterproof

First off kitchen floor waterproof

The kitchen is different from the toilet room, and the floor does not often have a lot of clear water, which also causes many owners to neglect the waterproof treatment of the kitchen floor. For kitchens with floor drains, the design of the drainage should be considered to have a large amount of water, and the ground must be waterproofed. The floor drain and the root of the pipe should be treated with emphasis. During construction, the groove around the floor drain should be grooved (20*30) mm; after the sealing paste is embedded, the rigid waterproof leveling layer and waterproof layer should be made.

For toilet floor (kitchen) floors without floor drains, waterproofing should also be applied in principle. To prevent leakage of water caused by sudden splashing of water or broken pipes.

Second wall waterproofing

Wall waterproofing is mainly to prevent the water and indoor moisture from splashing into the wall, causing mildew and erosion of the wall decoration materials. The wall painting height is according to different use requirements. Generally, the wall waterproofing height should reach 0.3 meters, wash hands. Pots, washing machines, etc. should reach 1.2 meters. Kitchen waterproofing is recommended to choose a new polymer cement-based waterproof coating (universal waterproof paste, flexible waterproof paste), because it is a brush-type material, construction is simple and convenient, and environmentally friendly, affordable, suitable for kitchen features. It is recommended to buy well-known brands to guard against counterfeiting.

The seam between the third wall and the ground

This is a place where leakage is more likely to occur. It is necessary to urge the workers to handle these corners and corners. The waterproof coating must be applied in place. Require the decoration team to do the cement root protection for the upper and lower water pipes of the kitchen, brush 10 to 20 cm of polyurethane waterproof coating from the ground (and lay the reinforced fiberglass mesh cloth), then the whole floor is made of polyurethane waterproof, plus the original The waterproof layer forms a composite waterproof layer to enhance water repellency.
