And today's edition. "Site" Discuss the most unpleasant mistakes bathroom furnishingThey turn it into a time bomb. On these mistakes, thousands of people have made bumps, spending considerable amounts of money. Avoid it if you don’t want to be one of them.





Small bathroom.
  1. Corrugated pipe for connecting the bathroom to the sewer
    It is enough to unscrew any such pipe to see how much dirt and junk is collected in such “accordances”. It has to be cleaned every other day! But in a smooth pipe, blockages occur much less often, the main thing when installing is to withstand an angle of 45 degrees. But building "roller coasters" - the pledge of constant blockages.



  2. Lack of hood
    No room in the house needs a hood so much. It is the constant circulation of air that protects from dampness, preventing the bathroom from turning into a haven for fungus.
  3. Bad grout.
    Even a cheap tile will look great with a good grout. But poor-quality grout will quickly “destroy” even expensive tiles. Note also that light seams on the floor and walls are undesirable, because in the first days dirt will accumulate in them and it will look unattractive.



  4. Cement grout for seam where the bath adjoins the tile
    Such a seam will sooner or later crack due to the presence of vibration, and will become a place of accumulation of mold and fungus. Therefore, instead of cement grout, the joints should be smeared, for example, with silicone sealant. This connection is quite plastic, and therefore durable. It is also not recommended to build a curb of tiles on the site of the connection of the wall with the bathroom.



  5. Thick cement tile layer
    With this laying, the tile from the walls begins to slide under its own weight, violating the general geometry and forming uneven joints. But a thick layer as a floor covering will eventually acquire voids, and subsequently cracks.
  6. Lack of waterproofing
    Trying to beautifully equip the bathroom, rare owners think about pitfalls. And neglect of waterproofing in the future can turn into serious problems, because when water leaks, it will flood neighbors from below. Therefore, waterproofing should be considered not least.



  7. Aesthetics come first
    Trying to keep up with fashion trends, we get a disastrous result. Intricate shells can be inconvenient to use, designer mixers can constantly splash water, and newfangled lamps can be unprotected from moisture. Another problem that is ruining design of a small bathroom- Bright color scheme. The fact is that saturated tones are better left for accessories that are easy to replace. But tile or plumbing is better to use a neutral color, which is definitely not boring with time.
