Piping in the bathroom.
Imagine you go in the morning to a newly renovated bathroom, you have a beautiful panel with dolphins above your bathroom, some expensive Spanish tiles, an exclusive mirror and a shelf with lighting, you immediately get up, but. .. turn your head further, and therewhat kind of pipes! The spectacle is not from pleasant, nor any aesthetic pleasure, from morning procedures. But this is a room in which we receive a portion of vivacity for the whole day, and in the evening an element of relaxation.
Aesthetics, this is the very first and the most important reason why almost all people try to remove the whole pipe from their eyes when doing repairs in the bathrooms. Well, the second reason is the noise from the water in the sewer pipes, which in turn also creates some discomfort.
How to close the pipes in the bathroom.
So how do you properly close the pipes in the bathroom in order to rid yourself of the unpleasant spectacle? To properly approach this issue, you need to understand at what stage to begin, what materials are better to use and how to arrange everything with a beautiful design.
When cosmetic repairs, when there is no re-planning and some global changes, we must check the quality of all communications and connections without fail. And, if necessary, we repair or replace, in order not to return to this issue in the future.
During major repairs, after the preparatory work, first of all it is worthwhile to take up the project of routing pipes in the bathroom. Define for the beginning, where will be the bathroom, toilet, washbasin and washing machine. These are the main consumers of water, if you do not happen to have exclusive options. We make the layout of the gasket to each consumer. Then we determine which material should be used in the bathroom. Their life depends on this, and if a leak occurs? We do not want to knock down the finishing material and cut the walls to find and eliminate the leakage.
And so the options are how to hide the tubing of the bathroom:
- With the help of redevelopment. When it is possible to redevelop the entire room, build an additional niche and hide there all communications and not only.
- In the wall or the floor. When placed in specially prepared cavities, and then hide behind the finishing material.
- To construct a special box for pipes in the bathroom. It can be done with gypsum board, and then covered with a finishing material.
- Position below the level of view. Hide behind furniture and plumbing.
The latter option is suitable for cosmetic repairs. The simplest, but less effective. Of course, a large share manages to sarjat, but some part remains visible. The other options, like closing pipes in the bathroom, are more suitable for overhaul, each has its pros and cons. When redeveloping, when you build an additional niche, you do this at the expense of the space of the room, which is not always possible with small dimensions.
In the wall or the floor. A good option, will save you from unnecessary spectacle, while not taking away precious space. Has one drawback: very carefully you need to approach the choice of material and installation. For this method, pipes from copper and stainless steel, with soldered joints, are suitable. Threaded connections are not considered in this case. Also suitable from plastic with the same solder joints. If you do everything right, you do not have to destroy the walls and eliminate breakages.
Construct a special box for pipes in the bathroom. Leaves the option of access to communications, but slightly hides space and complicates the installation of hinged furniture. The last two options remain the most popular today, but the choice is always yours.
