Renovation of a bathroom, renovation of an apartment as a whole is a responsible matter. It does not allow oversights that can lead to various unpleasant consequences in the form of cracks, untimely destruction of coatings, water leaks, which will entail additional cash costs.
If you decide to renovate your bathroom and have already taken some first steps, then you should go all the way. Do not forget about the proper approach, do not miss any trifles. Only high-quality repairs and, accordingly, finishing of the bathroom will guarantee reliability and comfort during its operation.
Some will think: why is it necessary to pay so much attention to a room in which people spend so little time, because this is a secondary matter? Maybe so, but the bathroom is a place where a person gets a boost of energy in the morning and rests in the evening. This is where we start the day and where we end the day. That is why it deserves such attention - it is important for a person to feel comfortable.
Where does the decoration of the bathroom begin? The floor is the most important and complex element, it must be smooth, non-slip and waterproof. It is the latter that receives more attention. High-quality work will exclude the formation of dampness and the destruction of coatings. Here, one should take into account the fact that the floor level should be lower than in other rooms, by about eight centimeters. If this is not possible due to structural features, an eight-centimeter threshold should be made. After waterproofing work, you can start laying the floor.
Wiring and laying pipes is the most crucial moment. During these works, the following should be taken into account: strobing of load-bearing walls is not allowed in order to avoid the formation of cracks, laying a cold water pipe without coating with a waterproofing material, otherwise this will lead to the formation of dampness. The thermal insulation of the hot water pipe must be carried out, which will avoid its deformation and, accordingly, the destruction of the wall.
Light is given special attention. If you are not in trouble with electricity, then it is better to invite a specialist. Finishing the bathroom, namely the installation of wiring, involves the use of a special cable for wet rooms. Installation of switches and sockets inside the bathroom is unacceptable. If this cannot be avoided, then devices made of moisture-proof material should be used. When choosing fixtures and lamps, one should be guided by their performance characteristics: they must be resistant to temperature changes and corrosion.
Finishing the bathroom, and specifically the walls, is the final stage. It is necessary to carry out preliminary work: removal of the old coating, leveling the surface, including corners. The facing material that can be found on the market is very diverse in its palette and design. Therefore, it will be quite easy to find what suits your requirements.
Don't forget about ventilation. This room assumes a lot of humidity, which leads to the formation of condensation on the walls and furniture, which destroys them.
The design of the bathroom in the house also plays an important role. If possible, you can invite a specialist. The designer will fulfill any wish, taking into account the design features of the premises and the taste of the owners.
