How should the tiles around the bathroom floor drain be installed? To do a good job in bathroom decoration, there are too many details to pay attention to. In addition to addressing basic issues such as waterproofing and ventilation, there are also significant barriers to tile installation. Everyone knows that when tiling the floor, a certain slope must be reserved. A slope that is too steep will affect the installation of toilets and other sanitary ware, and a slope that is too small will not be effective. It is up to experienced bricklayers to grasp the right slope. In addition to slope, how to handle the tiles at the floor drain is also very important to ensure both aesthetics and smooth water flow.
Cross laying method
Set the floor drain at the center of the cross line formed by adjacent four tiles, align the four corners with the edges of the tiles, and extend in all directions. This method is very suitable for square floor drains, which are relatively beautiful and have a natural slope.
Misalignment laying method
The tiles are laid in a staggered manner, leaving room for floor drains to ensure the integrity and aesthetics of the tiles.
Diagonal cutting method
Choose a suitable location for setting up a floor drain, place the drain in the middle of a certain tile, cut along its diagonal, and form a groove at a certain inclination when laying. The floor drain is embedded in the center, which facilitates drainage and better controls the position.
Four sided cutting method
The seemingly complex plan is actually the most common and applicable one. Take the floor drain as the center, mark a box 6-10 centimeters away from the edge of the drain, make a diagonal line from this point, and make a slope when tiling.
Edge interrupt type
If the floor drain is located at the edge of the wall, it can be paved with straight strip-shaped tiles at the edge, leaving a space directly in the middle for the floor drain.
Floor drain is a decoration accessory that is not easily valued by people. Many homeowners will purchase floor drain after tiling, but this is actually the wrong procedure.
There are many shapes of floor drain panels, and if you don't buy a floor drain in advance and confirm this information, workers won't know how large holes to reserve in the drain hole when laying tiles. If the reserved hole does not match the size of the floor drain purchased later, it will also be a headache. So floor drains and tiling are basically carried out simultaneously.
