1. Regarding the selection of basins
Many friends encounter a headache when decorating - that is, the selection and installation of basins, because this will Matters related to mold and moisture-proof cabinets around the basin:
There are three main types of basins on the market:
1. Counter basin, recommended index
The appearance is light and beautiful, and is very popular with consumers, but it is easy to splash water and difficult to wipe.
2. Under-the-counter basin, recommended index
It is easier to wipe, but the countertop and basin body are bonded with glass glue and can be used all year round. Easy to age, seep water, and become moldy.
3. Integrated basin, recommended index
The countertop and basin are made of a complete piece of fired ceramic or pressed artificial stone, with three sides rolled This can minimize the possibility of water splashing and penetration.
Another thing to mention is that plastic board (which looks like a board but is actually a polymer material) can be used as the cabinet board in the water-prone part of the basin. choose.
2. Toilet:
The contribution of the toilet that was born 150 years ago to human civilization and living cannot be overstated. It can even be said that without it, modern urban housing would be impossible.
But if you use the toilet every day, do you really understand it?
First, let’s look at the two major categories of toilets and their respective advantages and disadvantages:
In addition to direct flush and siphon toilets, toilets are also divided into One-piece type and split type mainly depend on whether the water tank and toilet are separated
The one-piece type has a stable structure, few gaps, and is easy to clean. However, a truly qualified one-piece toilet is expensive due to the difficulty of firing and low yield. The cheap one-piece toilet is not cost-effective and is not recommended to buy.
In terms of "body shape", one-piece toilets are often "longer" than split toilets. If the bathroom area is particularly small, it is recommended to choose split toilets to save more space.
In fact, I have talked about the classification of these toilets and the advantages and disadvantages of each type. If you are still confused about choosing a toilet, then you only need to follow a simple principle - buy big brands. Never buy cheap stuff.
Many friends are also confused. The elderly at home are not used to using sitting toilets. How about making them squat toilets?
All we can say here is: Absolutely not!
Not to mention the elderly, even young people will become dizzy due to orthostatic hypotension when squatting for a long time. Squatting on the toilet for a long time will lead to poor blood circulation, insufficient supply to the brain, induce cerebral thrombosis, and even faint when using the toilet. There have been too many fatal cases.
3. Smart toilet seat, namely washlet.
Invented by Toto Company in the 1980s. Washlets have made a huge difference to the bathroom experience and I highly recommend them. The three most basic functions are: washing after defecation, washing for women, and heating the seat ring. What's more complicated is the induction opening, drying, and self-cleaning functions.
Note: Reserve a splash-proof socket, which must be away from the shower area
4. Toilet paper box
Toilet paper Although the box is a small object, mistakes are often made when installing it. It is often installed on the wall behind the toilet. When using paper, you need to twist your body to get it, which is very annoying. . . . . .
The reasonable position of the toilet paper box is 300mm from the front section of the toilet and about 900mm from the ground.
5. The size of the shower room
Well-known residential designer Mr. Lu Wei suggests that the inner diameter of the shower room should be greater than: 900*900mm
If you decorate There is only 900*900 space left in the front. The thickness of the tiles plus the thickness of the shower screen itself will make the real space less than 850*850. This size of space makes it difficult for adult men to turn around. If it is installed again With storage baskets, the situation is even worse.
6. Shower room glass
I believe everyone has an idea that shower rooms must use "tempered glass". Tempered glass must have the CCC certification icon, which is a national mandatory safety standard. If it does not have it, do not buy it, otherwise your naked body will not be able to withstand the "self-explosion" of the glass when taking a shower.
7. Finally, let’s talk about how to prevent moisture in the bathroom
The bathroom is a water-using space. If the lighting and ventilation are not good, it can easily cause mold, moisture and other problems. How to prevent moisture in dark spaces? Try the following five tools.
1. Squeegee
Important!
Very important!
Very important!
The bathroom can be without a rag, but it must not be without a wiper. The wiper is the preferred cleaning tool for bathroom walls and floors. Anyone who uses a wiper knows how good it is!
2. Mildew remover
After using the bathroom for a long time, it is a very common problem for the glass glue to turn black and moldy. Many users report that no matter whether they use steel wool or detergent to scrub, it doesn't have much effect. Let me tell you a little tip, a magical "mold remover" that can be purchased on a certain website. Apply black glass glue and ceramic tile gaps the night before and let it sit overnight. The next morning it was as good as brand new, the effect was really amazing.
3. Heater
The bathroom heater not only has the ventilation function of an exhaust fan, but also has the heating effect of a bathroom heater. It is dehumidifying in summer, heating in winter, antibacterial in rainy season, and can also dry clothes, so it is commonly known as: "Three Dry Kings".
4. Electric heated towel bar
If the ventilation in the small bathroom is not good, the towel used in the morning may still be wet at night, and the experience of rubbing it on the face is really not good. , if you encounter a rainy day in the south, the towel may have a faint musty smell. Try the electric heated towel bar and enjoy the pleasure of dry, hot towels at any time.
5. Door cover boots
Many bathroom doors are wooden doors. The wooden door cover is close to the ground and is often splashed by water. It is easy to rot and warp. . A better way is to keep the door cover from falling to the ground and rest on the "door cover boots" made of stone with a height of about 150mm.
