Of course, it is the shower room, so it is very necessary to install the water retaining strip in the bathroom shower room, today I will talk to you about the installation method and precautions of the bathroom shower room water retaining strip, I hope these can help everyone's bathroom decoration.

    The bathroom shower room water strip is used to prevent the shower water from being full, which is a more important point in the bathroom decoration.

    Toilet shower room water retaining stripHow it works

    Water retaining strips are often used in conjunction with the shower room to prevent the shower from filling the shower room with water so that the bathroom can be cleaned up. The water retaining strip is mainly to lock the water by sealing the gaps between the glass and the glass, between the glass and the ground, and between the glass and the wall.

    The shower room water retaining strip is generally 40mm to 50mm high, and the thickness is about 30mm to 40mm.

    Toilet shower room water retaining stripWhat material is good

    The most common materials for shower room retaining strips are marble, granite, black sand marble, etc. However, when decorating, it is necessary to choose according to the actual floor tiles, so that the perfect match of the color will not destroy the overall beauty. For example, the use of black sand marble on light-colored floors will seriously affect the appearance.

    Toilet shower room water retaining stripHow to install

    When laying floor tiles, you should first embed the water retaining strip into the floor tiles. When purchasing, some sellers will boast about how many water retaining strips have skirts, but in fact, this is not the case. The outer edge of the skirt knowledge water retaining strip is raised a few millimeters, this kind of water retaining strip is actually used to make a stone foundation under the shower room, the glass is placed in the middle of the water retaining strip, and the skirt is to prevent water from seeping into the water retaining strip from under the glass.

    Supporting the shower curtain with a water retaining strip, measure the installation height during installation, so that the shower curtain naturally sags, hanging into the water retaining strip about three centimeters, this is the best installation effect, and after installation, the water will not splash at all. The biggest disadvantage of the military transformation is that if the top of the water retaining strip is not pressed by the glass, then the internal and external force of the water retaining strip is uneven, and the glass glue below will be loosened after a long time.

    When you choose a water retaining strip, you may often encounter a merchant recommending a water retaining strip with an apron. The essence of this kind of water retaining strip is the reality of the shower room, the glass is placed in the middle of the water retaining strip, and a few centimeters higher on the outer edge of the water retaining strip is the skirt, which is actually to prevent the water from penetrating into the water retaining strip.

    If you are using a shower curtain at home for shelter and partitioning, this kind of water barrier is more suitable. The shower curtain is much lighter than glass, and the shower curtain is hanging, so no external force is applied to the water retaining strip. In this case, due to the skirt on the outer edge, and the height of the inside and outside is not suitable, the long-term uneven force will lead to the loosening of the adhesive, and there will be gaps, so water seepage is still unavoidable.

    Whether or not a water barrier needs to be installed in the bathroom shower area depends on whether the shower area can be separated from wet and dry. If the shower achieves good separation of wet and dry, there is no need to separate it with a solid wall. For example, in a small bathroom, the design of the water barrier will narrow the room, so you can choose to pave the floor with pebbles.

    As long as the slope is repaired, the water will flow to the floor drain.

    There is almost no water accumulation in the bathroom.

    The main purpose of installing a water barrier in the bathroom is to prevent the bath water from being scattered during the bath. In addition, the bathroom floor is full of bath water. The retaining strip provides good control over the area of bath water on the floor.

    If you want to separate the dry and wet water in the bathroom, you must install a water retainer, and the installation sequence of the water retaining belt cannot be wrong, otherwise it is likely to cause the water retaining belt to leak. In addition, it should be noted that although the water retaining belt has a good water retention effect, it has a certain height. It is easy for family members to trip when walking, especially the elderly and children with limited mobility, and it is difficult to clean.

    As we all know, there are two types of water retainers. Straight water retaining belt, generally used in toilets with large areas and independent bathing areas. If you make a shower glass partition or shower curtain above the retaining belt, the water retention effect will be better.

    The curved water retaining belt is suitable for small toilets, and its advantage is to prevent the bath water from flowing everywhere on the ground. The downside is the small interior space of the shower. I recommend that when making a curved retainer, a shower curtain is better than a glass shower partition.

    When not bathing, the shower curtain can be stored on one side, which will not affect the size of the visual space in the bathroom. a. Installation plan: laying floor tiles.

    A deep groove should be reserved, and a water retaining belt should be placed and sealed. This is the best waterproofing effect. Type B installation scheme: use cement mortar on the bottom surface.

    The bulge acts as a retainer, and the outer layer is waterproof. The advantage of this is that the retaining belt is combined with the ground, and the purchase of a retaining belt is not considered. Class C Installation Scheme:

    After laying the floor tiles, reserve a shallow groove and put the water retaining tape into the rear package.

    1.It is still necessary to install water retaining strips in the bathroom.

    As mentioned earlier, every time you take a bath, in order to avoid flooding the bathroom, it is more reasonable to make a water retaining strip, at least the water will not overflow when you take a shower.

    2.The size of the retaining strip.

    The height of the water retaining strip on the market is generally between 40mm and 50mm, and the thickness is roughly between 30mm and 40mm, and the specific size is still determined according to the size of the shower room.

    3.What are the materials of the water retaining strip.

    The material of the water retaining strip is actually varied, since it is a waterproof strip, the waterproof performance is naturally very important, the material of the waterproof strip is marble, granite, etc., the performance of the material is not the same, of course, the waterproof effect is not the same, and the life of use is not the same.

    The material is not the same, the color of the water retaining strip may be different, so the color should be matched with the overall style, the water retaining strip uses black mostly, but if the ground is light-colored, you can consider building a platform on the ground with floor tiles, which will not leak water.

    4.How to make the waterproof strip distinctive.

    Waterproof strips can also be very interesting, you can first build them with cement, then wrap them in white cement on the outside, and put some colored pebbles. The white cement needs to be mixed with some glue, and then in a semi-dry state, the color stone is glued on, and it can be very creative if it is placed at will.

    So even the toilet strip can be very creative, not only practical but also to create an exotic atmosphere in the bathroom.

    Generally, the water retaining strip of the shower room is to be buried, so that the treatment effect is better. If it is not buried, there is a slope inside, and the water retaining strip needs to be padded to keep it level, which will affect the overall effect. There is no need to play glass glue for the embedded ones, and the glass glue needs to be replaced after a long time.

    The water retaining strip of the shower room is generally made of marble, and the varieties of marble are different. In fact, marble sales stores can use scrap materials, which can save costs, but the cost of cutting and edging is higher than the cost of materials. The water retaining strip should be installed by the stone seller according to the size of the shower room.

    I don't need to bury it simply, it's troublesome, and the general glass glue can do it to achieve a good waterproof effect.

    From the current point of view, more and more people will install a shower room in the bathroom, which not only increases the convenience of bathing to a certain extent, but also looks more beautiful, and at the same time in order to avoid water leakage, the water retaining strip is usually installed in the shower room, so should the shower room be embedded with a retaining strip? What are the materials of the water retaining strip? Let's take a look at it below, I believe it will bring you different insights.

    Whether the shower room should be embedded with a water retaining strip.

    Yes, so that there will be no water leakage, if it is not embedded in advance, it must be closed with glass glue, so that it is easy to fall off after a long time, and the drying time of glass glue is usually about 48 72 hours, which will affect daily life to a certain extent, so pay attention to the water retaining strip when tiling, and then start tiling.

    Which materials are good for water retaining strips.

    1. Marble material.

    For this kind of products, it is mainly made of marble raw materials, the processing performance will be stronger, and the texture of each piece of marble is different, if the surface is smooth and delicate, it means that it belongs to high-grade stone, the price is relatively more expensive, but the decorative effect is good.

    2. Granite material.

    Because the glass needs to be installed on the waterproof strip, so when choosing, we must take into account the hardness of the product, which should have a certain load-bearing capacity, and granite is a very good material, it is made of hard quartz material, which will be much higher in hardness than marble, and the wear resistance is also stronger, the water absorption rate is low, and it is difficult for external moisture to penetrate.

    3. PVC material.

    This is a relatively cost-effective product, but it is easy to damage the ground and the material itself during construction, so it is relatively a product that consumes more materials and time, but its waterproof performance is very good, and it is easier to cut than stone, such as arc, square and slotted can be used.

    Summary: The above about whether the shower room should be embedded with water retaining strips, which materials of water retaining strips are good are introduced here, I hope to provide you with some help.

    I don't think it's necessary at all. Installing such equipment will only make the shower area more difficult to clean, and there will be more hygienic dead spots, and it will also breed a lot of bacteria, which is not particularly good for the bathroom.
