3. Bathroom cabinet precautions

1. Choose bathroom cabinets made of waterproof board, stainless steel or aluminum, which are waterproof and not easy to mold . If you install solid wood, the bathroom should be divided into dry and wet areas and kept ventilated.

Solid wood bathroom cabinets stand out among many bathroom furniture with their natural wood texture, elegant appearance and excellent durability.

However, solid wood bathroom cabinets need to be divided into dry and wet areas in the bathroom. You can refer to the following tips: First, according to the actual size and shape of the bathroom, reasonably plan the dry and wet separation areas. Make sure that the solid wood bathroom cabinet is placed in a dry area, away from the shower area and bathtub area to reduce direct contact with water vapor.

Also, consider placing the sink area at the entrance of the bathroom or near a window to allow for ventilation and light.

In addition, although the solid wood bathroom cabinet itself has a certain degree of water resistance, in order to ensure its stability in long-term use, it still needs professional waterproofing treatment.

This includes applying waterproof paint or varnish on the wood surface to form a protective layer to prevent water vapor from penetrating. During installation, attention should also be paid to the bottom pad treatment to avoid direct contact with ground moisture.

Good ventilation and drainage systems are also key to keeping the bathroom dry. Install exhaust fans or keep windows open to speed up the discharge of water vapor. At the same time, set up appropriate drainage grooves and floor drains in the shower and bathtub areas to ensure that accumulated water is quickly discharged and reduce the possibility of water vapor spreading to dry areas.

A glass partition or shower room can be set up between the shower area and the dry area to effectively block the diffusion of water vapor. Waterproof sealing strips can also be installed on the drawers and doors of the solid wood bathroom cabinet to further enhance the waterproof effect.

2. It is recommended to choose an integrated basin, which is easy to clean.

When decorating the bathroom, the wash basin must be equipped with an integrated basin, which has no sanitary dead corners and is also beautiful. The integrated basin is formed in one process, without joints and sanitary dead corners, and it will be easier to clean. It is easy to install, and there is no need to consider the height of the bathroom cabinet and the matching of the basin. It has good aesthetics, and the integrated countertop is more atmospheric, has good integrity, and has a high appearance. The materials of the integrated basin include ceramic, marble, and rock slabs. The surface of ceramics is smooth and bright, easier to care for, and the price is relatively friendly, but the ceramic material will be slightly brittle and there will be damage problems. Marble has high hardness, beauty, and great wear resistance, but it is easy to bleed. After long-term use, the color of sewage will penetrate into the stone. The rock slab will not bleed, is wear-resistant, high-temperature resistant, and corrosion-resistant. The matte texture is very advanced, but it is more difficult to cut, and the cost of materials and labor is high. You can choose the appropriate material according to your own budget and usage habits.

3. Reserve the socket potential to facilitate the installation of light strips or the use of small appliances later.

Reserving the socket potential can facilitate the installation of light strips around the bathroom cabinet in the future to increase the lighting effect, and it is also convenient for the use of small appliances such as hair dryers, shavers, etc. When reserving the socket potential, pay attention to the rationality of the location to avoid being splashed by water, and choose a good quality socket to ensure safe use.

4. The sewer pipe is hollowed out in the middle or placed at the back for easy storage.

The bathroom drain pipe can be designed by hollowing out the middle part of the wall or placing the drain at the back, which can increase the storage space.

For example, you can make a "small modification" to the sewer pipe when wrapping it, and use the space around the sewer pipe to make a storage groove to store toiletries, sanitary tools, etc.

There are many ways to wrap sewer pipes:

• For example, the wooden keel is used as the frame and covered with PVC gusset plate, but this method is cheap and has a short lifespan;

• Use wooden keels as the base, then put on wood board, and finally paste aluminum-plastic board. This construction method is easier to maintain, but if the seal is not tight, the wood board will get damp and rot over time;

• The frame is made of light steel keel, then cement pressure plate is sealed, wire mesh is hung, and finally painted and tiled. This construction method has a strong overall effect, but is not stable enough;

• Use bricks to build columns and wrap pipes, cement mortar, stick wire mesh, and finally stick tiles. This is the most common method at present. The advantages are that it is not easy to deform and has good sound insulation effect, but it takes up a lot of space;

• Directly use sound insulation cotton bags, the construction is simple and cheap, but the effect is not as good as brickwork;

• The new material aluminum alloy tile bracket is used to wrap the bathroom drain pipe inside, which is convenient for future maintenance.

You can choose the appropriate guarantee method according to the actual situation.
