For modern households, the bathroom is no longer just a space for basic hygiene. It has evolved into a multi-functional area used for bathing, grooming, and even relaxation. However, due to its high moisture levels, proper waterproofing and moisture control are essential. According to Xiaobian Building Network, bathrooms with windows typically have humidity between 25% and 35% under normal ventilation, but this can rise to around 85% after a shower. In bathrooms without windows, humidity can reach up to 95% after use. Therefore, during renovation, it's crucial to consider waterproofing from the walls, floors, ceiling, and plumbing installation. Here, Jiuzheng Building Materials Network shares some practical tips to help you keep your bathroom dry and functional.
Make the Waterproof Layer "Digital"
Proper waterproofing is the most important step in bathroom renovation. Many homeowners are aware of this, but not everyone knows how to ensure quality work. One effective way is to follow specific guidelines: install wall tiles and stone over a waterproof layer, level the floor with cement mortar, apply waterproof coating, then lay a 1:2 cement mortar as a bonding layer before installing tiles. Afterward, perform a water test to check for leaks. Before laying stone, back-coat it to prevent water stains. The waterproof layer should extend 25–30 cm above the floor, 1.0–1.2 m above the sink, and 1.8 m above the shower. If painting, use waterproof putty and paint. Ensure the surface slopes toward the drain, and after 24 hours, there should be no standing water or leaks.
Be Careful with PVC Ceilings
Bathroom ceilings come in many styles and materials. Jiuzheng Building Materials Network recommends using micro-aluminum panels for better ventilation and to reduce condensation. If using gypsum boards, apply waterproof putty first, followed by a waterproof coating. However, PVC ceilings may develop condensation and drip water, so they should be used cautiously.
Minimize Pipe Installation
Many pipes are installed in bathrooms, and it's best to avoid altering existing ones. If changes are necessary, ensure they are straight, properly sloped, and securely fastened. Install valves and faucets in a way that allows easy access and operation. Apply anti-rust paint to exposed pipes and anti-corrosion paint to hidden ones. All connections should be tight and tested for leaks. Floor drains should be aligned with the sewer line and slightly lower than the floor to ensure proper drainage.
Choose Appliances with Water Resistance in Mind
When selecting bathroom appliances, make sure they are from reliable brands with good waterproof ratings. For example, shower heaters should have stainless steel casings, waterproof switches, and sealed cables. They should be safe even if exposed to water. Also, include waterproof light covers and outlets to enhance safety. Avoid using wood in the bathroom unless it’s treated with waterproof coatings or made from fireproof boards. Any wooden structures behind the walls should also be coated with waterproofing agents.
Finally, good ventilation is key to keeping the bathroom dry. Invest in quality exhaust fans to remove moisture quickly and maintain a fresh, clean environment. By following these steps, you can create a bathroom that stays dry and comfortable, avoiding the “tidal†effect caused by excess moisture.
