The bathroom is one of the most important rooms for organizing everyday life and comfort. She helps to relax after a hard day's work and cheer up before work. This makes the process of installing a bathtub very important and responsible. This largely determines how the further arrangement of this room is planned.
First you need to decide on the installation object itself. The fact is that bathtubs differ not only in size, but also in color, shape, material of manufacture. It can also be noted that all the difficulties and technological solutions in such a process as installing a steel bath are no different from those when installing a product from another material. Color also can not play a significant role during installation, but the size and shape can cause certain difficulties.
That is why it is worth choosing a bath, first of all, according to the size of the room where it will stand. At the same time, such parameters as color and material of manufacture go by the wayside, as already mentioned. Since the installation of a cast - iron bath, exceeding the permissible sizes, is as difficult as it is heavy.
Having decided on all the elements of plumbing, before the installation itself, you need to do the preparation of the room. Its walls should be completely treated with antifungal impregnation and, if possible, fully tiled. Many people prefer not to process a piece of the wall below, hoping that installing a bath will close it and thus solve the problem. This approach can be called a gross violation of not only an aesthetic appearance, but also the technological process, as well as safety precautions. Since it is in such unprotected places that they almost never clean due to inaccessibility, mold and fungi form. They release toxins that are harmful to humans and can cause serious harm to health. Therefore, before the installation of the bath, it is necessary to carefully process and prepare the room.
After all the plumbing items have been placed, they should be connected to the necessary communications. Usually this is sewage and water supply, but in some cases, electricity is also required. Such installation requires compliance with all operating and safety rules, and if possible it should be entrusted to professionals.
When the installation of the bathtub is completed, and the rest of the plumbing has been connected, it is necessary to seal all the holes between the walls and the devices using special silicone sealant. Moreover, the sealant must be purchased with antibacterial properties, since in a damp environment, which is often present in such rooms, there is a high probability of mold or mildew. It is precisely because of this that it is not recommended to “sew up” the bathtub completely, but it is advised to leave a small opening for ventilation.
Properly designed with the use of reliable materials, the bathroom will bring its owners comfort and coziness, and in the morning it will create a wonderful mood.
