Bathroom decoration has become a top priority for modern people's decoration. When choosing bathroom equipment, consumers should consider their personal habits and usage needs, as well as the size and shape of the bathroom space.
On stage vs off stage: Should I choose an on stage basin or an off stage basin? This often becomes a major question when making a purchase. The basin under the table looks relatively neat, and it is easy to clean the countertop. However, the part where the countertop is connected to the basin is often soaked in water, making it easy for dirt to accumulate. A basin with curly edges can be directly installed at the opening on the table, making it simple and convenient. If you are interested in a washbasin with a unique appearance, you should choose the installation method on the platform and pay attention to the height of the washbasin to ensure comfort during use.
2. Space saving: Usually, the area of the bathroom is 4-6 square meters. If you want to install a shower room or bathtub, you need to compress the area of the basin area appropriately and purchase a column style one to save space. Fixing the basin to the wall is also a good choice for a small bathroom.
3. Taking into account storage: Installing a countertop is usually to increase the space for placing bathroom supplies at will, and the current basin design has fully considered this requirement. Extend the edges of the basin towards both ends, leaving a space for soap and cleansing products. The combination of a towel rod and a washbasin is also a very practical design. After cleaning, the towel can be easily obtained without moving its position.
4. Try color: Pure white is no longer the uniform face in bathroom, and the basin has become the source of color. Be careful not to choose a color that is too dark, as scale can easily hang on the basin, forming white spots that affect aesthetics.
Smooth surface: Glazed ceramic, stainless steel, and cast iron are the main materials for the basin. The glossiness of glazed ceramics is very good, but when cleaning scale in daily life, be careful not to use strong acidic cleaning products to avoid damaging the smoothness of the ceramic glaze. The surface of stainless steel can be made into both mirror and matte effects, making it sturdy and durable. The material of cast iron is good at expressing rich colors and good brightness.
6 Dragon head face basin matching: Before purchasing a faucet, first confirm how many holes the basin is made of. The hole spacing is usually standard and does not need to be considered. Pay attention to the tilt angle of the faucet, the distance between the water outlet and the inner edge of the basin, the position between the switch and the basin, whether the hand can be easily placed under the water outlet, and whether the switch can be easily loosened without any obstacles. It is best to personally test the faucet on the basin when purchasing.
7. Switch freely: Have you ever had a faucet that was filled with soap bubbles before, but due to slippery hands, you cannot turn on the faucet switch and feel anxious. It is important to choose the form of the faucet handle. The straight, circular, and wing shaped handles, combined with the design that fits the hand shape, make the faucet switch easily and freely. The traditional cross and three leaf handle has a beautiful appearance, but requires a certain amount of force when switching.
Smooth water flow: If the faucet has been used for a long time, there may be water leakage. To avoid this trouble, it is necessary to carefully consult the information about the internal valve core of the relevant brand faucet before purchasing. At present, not all manufacturers can manufacture valve cores themselves. Good ceramic valve cores can accurately control water flow and switch, and ensure no water leakage. When purchasing, check the faucet and gently rotate the handle to see if each component moves freely.
9. Prevention of scalding: Due to unstable water pressure or other people using water at home, the water temperature may fluctuate, which can be uncomfortable and even dangerous during bathing. If there are children at home, it is recommended to purchase an anti scald faucet that can automatically control the hot water supply through the principle of pressure balance.
10. Reject lead pollution: Medical studies have shown that lead has no benefits to the human body, and even a small amount of lead injected can cause significant harm to the human body. In daily life, the most likely source of lead pollution is not only the water supply pipeline but also the faucet. At present, there is no requirement for lead content in domestic faucets. It is best to choose faucets that have undergone professional lead removal technology to maintain pure water quality and be responsible for daily health.
11. Location of bathtubs: The spatial layout of each bathroom is unique, and the placement of bathtubs varies. The elliptical bathtub is suitable for independent placement, and the classic quadrilateral shape can be installed from multiple angles. Hexagonal or octagonal shapes are also suitable for installation in different positions, solving corner problems. For corner mounted bathtubs, curved skirts can be installed outside the bathtub to enhance overall aesthetics.
12. Comfortable Bathing: The length of a double bathtub is generally 180 centimeters to 190 centimeters, while that of a single bathtub is 150 centimeters to 160 centimeters, with a width of 80 centimeters to 90 centimeters and a depth of 45 centimeters. The middle drop is suitable for two people to take a shower, while the side drop is suitable for one person or for installing shower equipment at the same time. A bathtub similar to a swimming pool, with a depth of 81 centimeters, even adult bodies can be completely immersed in water. The new overflow device can freely adjust the water level to a maximum of 5 centimeters without the need for drainage holes.
13. Self cleaning surface: If you have to brush the bathtub after each bath, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive. A bathtub with a self-cleaning surface, where water droplets with dirt automatically slide off the surface. As long as a damp soft cloth is gently wiped, the bathtub can remain smooth and clean.
14. Bathtub Material: When choosing a bathtub, when faced with various materials that are difficult to start with, understand their respective characteristics clearly, and then purchase according to needs. Acrylic is an artificial organic material that is lightweight, soft in color, and has a good surface finish. However, the surface is prone to aging and discoloration. A steel plate bathtub is formed from a certain thickness of steel plate and then coated with enamel on the surface. Due to the extremely thin steel plate, the insulation performance is not ideal, and some require an additional insulation layer. The surface of the cast iron bathtub is also enamel, making it less prone to noise during use. The cylinder wall is thick, and the insulation performance is also very good.
15 Safe Bathing: The armrest makes it safer to enter and exit the bathtub. The high handle design of the bathtub eliminates the need to bend over and hold onto the edge of the bathtub when entering, as long as you gently grasp the armrest. The anti slip bottom ensures safety after soaking and showering. The anti slip layer is made of a synthetic material of quartz and sand, with a surface pattern that is permanently and firmly cast together with the ceramic glaze layer of the bathtub, without falling off.
Building a shower room: After each shower, there is water everywhere in the bathroom, and it is necessary to clean the walls and floors in a timely manner. Even with shower curtains, the effectiveness is not significant. Planning a separate shower room in the bathroom has become a practical choice. The shower room consists of a tempered glass door and a shower tray. Choose the opening direction of the door and the shape of the shower panel based on the layout of the bathroom.
17. Cleaning and bathing: Shower water will form scale on tempered glass, and special glass cleaning agents need to be used for regular cleaning. The quality of hardware connecting various parts of the shower room cannot be ignored. Only high-quality hardware can maintain good working condition in humid environments for a long time.
18 Shower tray: The shape of the shower tray is mostly square, right angle+fan, and right angle+outer angle. Size is 90 centimeters × 90 centimeters or 1 square meter. It is 2.5 centimeters deep and can be installed flush with the floor, very beautiful. A shower tray that rises above the ground forms a sink, and the water from the shower does not flow to other places, making it convenient for the bathroom to take care of.
19. Size of shower: When taking a shower, everyone hopes that the shower will produce a large amount of water, which will make them feel comfortable. At present, large-sized showers are very popular, ranging in diameter from 100mm to 600mm, allowing the body to fully bathe in water.
20 Bathroom Hardware: It is necessary to install some practical hardware in the shower room to avoid confusion during the shower process, such as towel bars, soap trays, etc. It is best to choose a railing design for the door handle. In case of danger of slipping, it can be temporarily tightened.
21 Flush Clean: Currently, there are mainly two types of toilets on the market: siphon type and direct flush type. The siphon type toilet is easy to flush out dirt adhering to the surface of the toilet, while the direct flush toilet has a large diameter of the sewer pipe, which can easily flush out larger dirt using the gravitational acceleration of water. The characteristics of siphon type pipelines are high, long, and thin. The smaller the pipe diameter, the better the siphon effect, and inevitably, the greater the water demand.
22 Comfortable sitting posture: Some people have calculated that a person may have approximately 35 minutes of intimate contact with the toilet during a day. The height, length, and curve of the toilet seat all determine whether a person is comfortable sitting on it. Generally speaking, the height of a toilet is lower than the height of a chair at home. Pay attention to the hardness and material of the seat ring. The seat ring made of antibacterial materials can effectively inhibit the growth of E. coli.
23. Reject odors: The toilet is directly connected to the sewage pipes of the house, and the water seal of the toilet can isolate the odor of the sewage pipes and polluting microorganisms. According to national regulations, the water seal of toilets shall not be less than 50 millimeters. The siphon toilet has a high water seal, so it is not prone to odor.
Washing out and cleaning: The combination of a body cleaner and a toilet has become a trend. Rinsing directly with water after going to the toilet is a very healthy way, especially suitable for the elderly and those with limited mobility. The water outlet position of the body cleaner can be vertical or horizontal to meet different washing needs.
25 toilet form: First, measure the distance between the pits in the bathroom, and then choose the toilet form. Split toilets generally have a relatively small volume; There are a variety of styles to choose from for connected toilets, and the bottom return bend of the toilet is sealed, providing convenience for future toilet cleaning. A wall mounted toilet can make the bathroom look neat.
