When to install the shower room water retaining strip is not clear to many people, I don't know whether it should be glued in advance when the floor tiles are pasted, or wait until the floor tiles are laid and then installed, this is a very important detail of the problem, let's talk about when the shower room water retaining strip is better to install.

It is divided into several kinds according to the material, the plastic is cheaper, and the stone is more expensive, but the latter is more high-grade.

Now when to install the water retaining strip in the shower room, it is best to install it when the master has already laid the wall tiles and started to lay the floor tiles. Because the shower room is generally against the wall tiles, it is necessary to wait for the wall tiles to be pasted before installing the shower room, and the water retaining strip is installed according to the shower room, so wait for the shower room to be installed before pasting. The first thing to do before laying the floor tiles is to install the stone base water retaining strip.

Place the retaining strip in a suitable position, and then fix the retaining strip into an arc shape with cement mortar. Then the master can pave the floor tiles, pay attention to the slope when laying the floor tiles, the water retaining strip inside should be close to the floor drain, and the stone foundation outside should be leaning towards the floor drain according to the situation.

But some people may say that they didn't pay attention to the floor tiles when they were laid, and the master of the decoration didn't remind them. The answer is yes. The shower room can also be reinstalled after the floor tiles have been completed.

However, it must be noted that it does not matter if the embedded water retaining strip is not processed with glass glue, and the water retaining strip made after laying the floor tiles must be made with glass glue to avoid mold in the future.
