Bathroom decoration has become the top priority of modern people's decoration, so consumers should consider their personal living habits and functional needs when purchasing bathroom equipment, and must also consider the size and shape of the bathroom.
1
On-stage vs. off-stage: Should I choose an above-counter basin or an under-counter basin? This usually becomes a big question when buying. The under-counter basin looks more regular, and it is easy to clean the countertop, but the part where the countertop and the basin are connected is often soaked in water and tends to contain dirt. The basin with curled edges can be directly installed in the opening on the table, which is simple and convenient. If you are fond of a basin with a unique appearance, you should choose the installation method on the counter. Pay attention to the height of the basin to ensure comfort during use.
2
Save space: Usually the area of the bathroom is 4 square meters to 6 square meters. If you want to install a shower room or bathtub, you must appropriately reduce the area of the basin area and purchase a column type to save space. Fixing the basin on the wall is also a good choice for small bathrooms.
3
Taking into account storage: The installation of the countertop is usually to increase the space for placing toiletries at hand. The current basin design has fully considered this demand. Extend the rim of the basin to both ends, leaving a place for soap and cleansing products. The combination of the towel bar and the basin is also a very practical design. After cleaning, you can get the towel without moving the position.
4
Try color: Pure white is no longer the uniform face of the bathroom, and the basin has also become the source of color. Be careful not to choose too dark colors, because the scale is easy to hang on the basin, forming white spots, affecting the appearance.
5
Smooth surface: Glazed ceramics, stainless steel, and cast iron are the main materials of the basin. The gloss of glazed ceramics is very good, but be careful not to use strong acid cleaning products when cleaning the scale daily, so as not to damage the smooth glaze of the ceramics. The surface of stainless steel can be made into mirror and frosted, which is strong and durable. The material of cast iron is good at expressing rich colors and good brightness.
6
Faucet and basin matching: Before purchasing the faucet, first confirm the number of holes in the basin. The hole pitch is usually standard, so there is no need to consider it. Pay attention to the inclination angle of the faucet, the distance between the water outlet and the upper edge of the inner side of the basin, whether the position between the switch and the basin is suitable, whether the hand can be easily placed under the water outlet, and whether the switch can be easily turned on without Any obstacles. It is best to put the faucet on the basin to test it yourself when you buy it.
7
Switching freely: Have you ever used the faucet in the past? Has your hand been filled with soap bubbles, but due to slippery hands, I can’t turn on the faucet switch and I am in a hurry. It is very important to choose the form of the faucet handle. The one-shaped, circular, and wing-shaped handles, coupled with the design that fits the hand shape, make the faucet switch easy. The traditional cross and three-leaf handles have a beautiful appearance, but they need a certain amount of force when switching them.
8
Smooth water flow: If the faucet has been used for a long time, water leakage may occur. In order to avoid this trouble, you should carefully consult the internal valve core information of the relevant brand faucet before purchasing. At present, not all manufacturers can make their own valve cores. A good ceramic valve core can accurately control the water flow and switch, and ensure that there is no water leakage. When buying, check the faucet, you can gently turn the handle to see if the parts move freely.
9
Prevent scalding: The water temperature is hot and cold due to unstable water pressure or other people in the house using water. This situation can be very uncomfortable during the bathing process, and may even be dangerous. If there are children at home, it is recommended to buy a scald-proof faucet, which can automatically control the amount of hot water supply through the principle of pressure balance.
10
Reject lead pollution: Medicine shows that lead has no benefit to the human body, and a small amount of lead injection will cause great harm to the human body. In daily life, the most likely source of lead pollution is faucets except for water supply pipes. At present, there is no requirement for the lead content of faucets in China. It is best to choose a faucet with professional lead removal technology to keep the water quality pure and be responsible for the health of life.
11
The location of the bathtub: The spatial pattern of each bathroom is unique, and the location of the bathtub is also different. The oval bathtub is suitable for independent placement, the classic quadrilateral can provide multi-angle installation, and the hexagonal or octagonal shape is also suitable for installation in different positions to solve the corner problem. For corner-mounted bathtubs, you can choose to install curved skirts outside the bathtub to enhance the overall aesthetics.
12
Comfortable bathing: The length of a two-person bathtub is generally 180 cm ~ 190 cm, a single person is 150 cm ~ 160 cm, 80 cm ~ 90 cm wide and 45 cm deep. The falling water in the middle is suitable for two people to take a bath, and the falling water on one side is suitable for a single person or the installation of shower equipment at the same time. A bathtub resembling a swimming pool, with a depth of 81 cm, even an adult body can be completely immersed in the water. The new overflow device can freely adjust the water level, up to 5 cm, without the use of drainage holes.
13
Self-cleaning surface: If you have to wash the bathtub after each bath, it takes time and effort. For bathtubs with self-cleaning surfaces, water droplets and dirt will automatically slide off the surface of the bathtub. As long as you wipe it gently with a damp soft cloth, the bathtub can be kept clean.
14
Bathtub material: When choosing a bathtub, there is no way to start with various materials, understand their characteristics, and then buy them as needed. Acrylic is a man-made organic material. It is light in weight, soft in color, and has a good surface finish, but the surface is easy to age and change color. The steel bathtub is formed with a certain thickness of steel plate, and then the surface is plated with enamel. Because the steel plate is extremely thin, the thermal insulation performance is not ideal, and some need to add an additional thermal insulation layer. The surface of the cast iron bathtub is also enamel, it is not easy to produce noise when in use, the cylinder wall is thick, and the heat preservation performance is also very good.
15
Safe bathing: The handrails make it safer to enter and exit the bathtub. The design of the bathtub handle is higher. When stepping into the bathtub, you don't need to bend over and hold on the edge of the bathtub, just gently grab the handrails. The non-slip bottom guarantees the safety after bathing and showering. The non-slip layer is made of synthetic material of quartz and sand, and the surface is textured. It is permanently and firmly cast with the enamel layer of the bathtub without falling off.
16
Build a shower room: After each shower, there is water everywhere in the bathroom, and you need to clean the wall and floor in time. Even with a shower curtain, the effect is not great. Planning a separate shower room in the bathroom becomes a practical choice. The shower room consists of a toughened glass door and a shower tray. Choose the opening direction of the door and the shape of the shower tray according to the layout of the bathroom.
17
Cleaning the bath: The shower water will form scale on the tempered glass, which needs to be cleaned regularly with a special glass cleaner. The quality of the hardware connecting all parts of the shower room cannot be ignored. For a long time in a humid environment, only high-quality hardware can maintain a good working condition.
18
Shower tray: The shape of the shower tray is mostly square, right angle + fan shape, right angle + outer angle shape. The size is 90 cm x 90 cm or 1 square meter. It has a depth of 2.5 cm and can be installed flush with the floor, which is very beautiful. The shower tray above the ground forms a sink, and the shower water will not flow to other places, which is convenient for the bathroom to take care of.
19
The size of the shower head: When taking a shower, everyone hopes that the shower has a large amount of water, so that it feels refreshed. At present, large-size showers are very popular, ranging from 100 mm to 600 mm in diameter, allowing the body to be completely bathed in water.
20
Bathroom hardware: It is necessary to install some practical hardware in the shower room to avoid rushing during the bathing process, such as towel bars, soap trays, etc. The door handle is best to choose a through-bar design, in case there is a risk of slipping, you can hold it tight temporarily.
21
Flushing: The toilets currently on the market are mainly siphonic and direct flushing. The siphon toilet is easy to flush away the dirt stuck on the surface of the toilet, while the flush toilet has a large diameter of the sewer pipe, and the larger dirt can be easily cleaned by the gravity acceleration of the water. The siphon type pipeline is characterized by high, long, and thin. The smaller the diameter of the pipe, the better the siphon effect, and the greater the water demand is inevitably.
22
Comfortable sitting posture: According to statistics, a person may have close contact with the toilet for about 35 minutes a day. The height, length, and curve of the seat determine the comfort of sitting on the toilet. Generally speaking, the height of the toilet is lower than the height of the chair at home. Pay great attention to the hardness and material of the seat ring. It is made of antibacterial materials, which can effectively inhibit the growth of E. coli.
23
Reject the smell: the toilet is directly connected to the sewage pipe of the house, and the water seal of the toilet can isolate the smell of the sewage pipe and polluting microorganisms. According to national regulations, the water seal of the toilet shall not be less than 50 mm. The siphon toilet has a high water seal, so it is not easy to smell.
24
Wash out clean: The matching of bidet and toilet has now become a trend. Direct flushing with water after going to the toilet is a very healthy way, especially suitable for the elderly and people with limited mobility. The water outlet position of the bidet can be vertical or horizontal to meet different washing needs.
25
Toilet form: First, measure the pit distance between the bathroom, and then choose the form of the toilet. Split toilets are generally small in size; there are more styles of one-piece toilets to choose from, and the return bend at the bottom of the toilet is closed, which provides convenience for toilet cleaning in the future. A wall-mounted toilet can make the bathroom look neat.
