The most expensive thing for new residents is mistakes in repairs in the kitchen or bathroom. Everything can be fixed, but what is the price?
If you have no experience, you should listen to the advice of experts who will help you avoid the so-called “pitfalls” during bathroom renovation.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told us what mistakes are most often made in such cases.
Mixer and plumbing
This applies to taps for a sink, bathtub or shower column. It is important to select a tap by length, height, so that the valves can be turned comfortably, etc.
In the bathroom, you need to place a column or a regular watering can at a suitable height so that a person of above average height can fit under it.
Tile
Asymmetrical seams cannot be hidden. They can only be masked with shelves or other accessories, and even then, only if the circumstances are right.
If the problem is noticed during the process of laying tiles, then a skirting board or other decorative element can help.
Lighting fixtures
It is important that they are suitable for use in high humidity environments.
The IP index should be at least 44, which means protection from splashes. IP65 or 68 are more serious options.
Purchases without calculation
Don't rush to buy materials without making a detailed calculation. If there is not enough glue, it's not a problem. It's worse if the tiles of your batch and series run out.
And finally, about the sewerage system
The further the bathtub, sink, washing machine or other plumbing fixture is from the drain pipe, the worse the dirty water will drain.
