The floor of the bathroom is the place where most of the water is touched, and it is the hardest-hit area that is most likely to cause water leakage. The waterproof of the bathroom floor is not a problem that can be solved by some tiles with better waterproof performance. The waterproof layer of cement mortar under the floor tiles is the key to waterproofing.
In the process of renovating the bathroom, re-paving the floor tiles of the toilets, bathing utensils for installing and replacing the toilets, and relocating or moving the upper and lower water pipelines will cause damage to the original waterproof layer of the building. At this time, if you do not pay attention to repair or renew The laying of a waterproof layer will greatly increase the chance of water leakage.
Therefore, if you re-lay the floor tiles of the bathroom, you must put a layer of waterproofing on the ground before laying the floor, and then apply a waterproof coating to make waterproof double insurance. Something more detailed, but also on the back of the tiles are painted with a waterproof coating, with such "three insurance," you really can rest easy.

"Key words" waterproof surface
The wall of the bathroom is the most prone to seepage. Unlike a floor, a wall has a waterproof layer when it is delivered. If you then tile the wall with poor waterproofing effect, the penetrating water will be buried.
Apply a waterproof coating. Choose a tile with better waterproof performance as the first step of waterproofing the wall. If you use ordinary tiles, you must do a waterproof treatment on the back of the tile. In order to save costs, some decoration companies often only achieve about half a meter of waterproof when doing waterproofing. To be on the safe side, it is better to strive to achieve waterproofing on all four sides of the wall.
There is also a more popular "post-modern decoration" is the glass or mirror of one or several of the walls of the bathroom, in fact, these materials are more dense and can be better waterproof. It should be noted that between these glass mirrors, or between them and the wall, should be carefully joined and coated with waterproof paint, waterproof glue and so on.
Highlights 3 Ceilings commonly used materials to prevent steam
"Key words" pvc sheet/aluminum plastic board
In the entire bathroom, the ceiling is the most important "negligible part" of the waterproofing.
Although the ceiling of the bathroom is not in direct contact with the water, the water vapor will keep rising during the bathing, especially in the winter, and accumulates on the ceiling. This will cause the ceiling to become wet, which will cause the paint on the ceiling to fall off over time. In addition, the waterproof measures of the neighbors upstairs will also directly affect their own ceilings.
A stroll around the building materials market will reveal that waterproof coatings, pvc plates, and aluminum-plastic panels are commonly used materials in bathroom ceiling decoration. However, if only the ceiling is painted with a waterproof coating, partial peeling and discoloration may occur after long-term exposure. In the long run, waterproof coatings with pvc plates or aluminum-plastic panels are good choices. This double insurance combination not only maximizes the protection of the ceiling against water but also covers the exposed pipes on the ceiling.

Minutiae cannot be ignored
In the bathroom renovation, many details also need special attention.
When brushing waterproof paint, be careful. Wall and ground joints, between the upper and lower water pipes and the ground, as well as some corners should be very careful, brush a few times in order to ensure not to miss the "net of fish."
In addition, the waterproof of the bottom of the bathroom door is also easily overlooked. The bottom of the solid wood door can be brushed with several layers of oil or a layer of stainless steel, which can well solve the problem of water erosion under the wooden door.
After the renovation, you can build a temporary “dam†at the entrance to the bathroom. Block the water outlet and fill it with water until the water is ten centimeters high. Allow the water to stay in the bathroom for about 24 hours. Look closely at the ceiling around the ground and the neighbors downstairs for signs of dampness. If not, then it is a qualified waterproofing project. As for the detection of wall waterproofing, the shower can be watered against the wall for three or four minutes. After four hours, there is no evidence of water seepage on the other side of the wall. If not, the project is qualified.
