The three components of the shower curtain are indispensable, which are: shower curtain rod, shower curtain and water retaining strip. We always thought that when workers laid floor tiles, the shower area had been paved low, so there was no need for water retaining strips. The small choreographer is really careful in the floor tile treatment in the bathroom shower area, especially near the floor drain in the shower area. However, We later found that the water speed of the floor drain is far less than that of the shower, and the water will still flow out. Therefore, let’s talk about how these three components fit well and how high the shower curtain rod should be installed:
Precautions for shower curtain decoration matters needing attention
1. We suggested that you install the shower curtain rod and shower curtain first, and then determine the position of the water retaining strip according to the installation height of the shower curtain rod and the position of the shower curtain hem, because the water retaining strip must be installed on the outside of the shower curtain hem, otherwise the water on the shower curtain will tick outside;
2. In the past, some students said that the water retaining strip should be installed while paving the floor tile. In fact, it is not impossible to do so, but the result is that the water retaining strip is embedded in the floor tile. In case the water retaining strip breaks in the future, it will be troublesome to replace it;
3. If conditions permit, it’s best to have walls on three sides of the shower area. One is spacious. More importantly, it’s OK to use a “expansion rod” to top the walls at both ends of the shower curtain rod.
4. The maximum load of the “expanded pole” is generally 20kg. There is no problem with a bath towel, and the “expanded pole” can be moved and replaced anytime, anywhere, which is very convenient;
5. If there are only two walls in the shower area, the shower curtain rod can only be fixed on the wall with the circular steel pipe. One disadvantage of this fixed circular steel pipe is that it is easy to loosen after a long time due to uneven stress.
6. Maybe many students don’t know what “bloated pole” is. “Expansion rod” is a telescopic iron pipe. After the heads on both sides are screwed, it is fixed. We describes it in a very general way. If you plan to use the shower curtain, you’d better go to the building materials market to “step on the spot” in advance;
7. The width of water retaining strip of natural stone generally has three dimensions: 3cm, 5cm and 6cm, and 5cm for small editors; Height generally has two dimensions, 1 cm and 1.8 cm, and 1.8 cm for small editors;
8. Some people like to erect the water retaining strip for installation. We doesn’t think it’s necessary. 1.8 cm high is enough. If the water surface reaches 1.8 cm and the floor drain hasn’t drained the water, it’s not the problem of the water retaining strip, but the problem of the floor drain;
9. If the floor tile is paved first and then the water retaining strip is installed, the glass glue used to fix the water retaining strip needs 24 hours to silicide. Responsible workers will advise you not to let the glass glue attract water within 48 hours. Students after check-in should be mentally prepared not to take a bath for two days;
10. The installation height of the shower curtain rod determines the height of the shower curtain. When buying the shower curtain, first determine the width and height of the shower curtain according to the size of the shower area. The height of the shower curtain on the market is mostly 180 cm, which is enough. There is no need to buy a 2-meter-high one;
11. The installation height of the shower curtain rod, that is, the height of the lower hem of the shower curtain from the ground, should be 1-2 cm. It’s best not to mop the floor. It’s easy to rub dirty. Sometimes it’s easy to tear the shower curtain by accidentally stepping on it.
