Perhaps two main premises that require maximum costs and attention during repair work are a bathroom and kitchen. Not only do they combine the technological difficulties of work with plumbing devices and electronics (water heaters, ovens, hobs, etc.), but the aesthetic components of finishing materials and decisions in general should be taken into account. Now we will try to talk in more detail about the repair of the bathroom to illuminate some nuances during repair work.
First of all, try to make a layout of the tiles in the bathroom so that there is an even number of tiles on the wall – it looks simply more beautiful, there is no trimming, and there is no excess work on cutting tiles. True, this approach is associated with the possible dismantling of the walls and partitions of the bathroom, which entails additional cash investments. But this phenomenon is quite common, and you will not surprise anyone – bathrooms are far from always spacious, often they need to be expanded for a more comfortable arrangement of plumbing and electrical appliances.
After dismantling the partitions, it often happens that the risers of hot and cold water, as well as the sewers are scattered into different angles of the room. It will be logical to transfer all risers in one direction so as not to perform two gypsum plasters – this is not very convenient, and not very beautiful. If only a hot water riser will have to be transferred, pay attention to that the releases from the riser under a heated towel rail is mounted correctly – a section of the vertical pipe between the two releases must be blocked so that the water reaches the first release, pass through the heated towel, and went back into the riser. Otherwise, in the absence of such a partition, there will be no hot water circulation, and the plumbing device will always be cold.
When choosing a tile, make sure that it is even. If you need to make a cut of tiles at forty -five degrees, the crooked tile will look terrible with such a nozzle. Glue for tiles must be applied to the wall evenly, over the entire area of the tile, otherwise it will immediately crack when drilling.
