Tatami mats, is currently more popular in the interior decoration of a home component, many people like to do in the balcony, window or a small area of the bedroom tatami mats. In fact, the national understanding of the tatami this thing is there is a mistake, tatami mats were common in Japan with rushes woven straw mats, and our definition of tatami mats is basically the floor or floor bed, the top of the mat known as tatami mats. We all call it that, so, over time, this kind of floor is called tatami mats in the country.

The tatami mat is a very typical piece of furniture that integrates many functions perfectly, combining leisure, a resting couch, and superb storage capacity, and the ability to utilize space is first-class. However, many people in the installation of tatami mats will be entangled, tatami mats underneath, to lay the floor or tiles? Below, in response to this query, we briefly analyze.

I personally recommend that under the tatami mats, try to lay the floor or floor tiles. Here's why.

The tatami mats are basically made of solid wood frame + solid wood panels or solid wood frame + composite panels, and because of its storage method is to open the upper part of the storage, so the objects are stacked in the inside of the tatami mats are stored in the items are not very convenient to access, so most people will not often use the objects placed in the tatami mats, and usually seldom open, the internal ventilation is very bad, so the tatami mats can be used for a variety of purposes. The ventilation inside the room is very poor. In addition, tatami mats are placed on the ground, and the moisture resistance of cement floors is relatively poor. For these reasons, it is necessary to consider and take measures to prevent moisture in the internal storage space of tatami mats. One of the construction steps of paving the floor on the cement floor is to lay a moisture-proof film, sprinkle desiccant or activated carbon for moisture-proof treatment, and the floor has a certain blocking ability to moisture, so paving the floor can be very effective in reducing the internal moisture of the tatami mats, resulting in mildew, rotting and deformation of the situation.

Some people think that if the tatami mats are not paved with floor tiles or flooring, they can reduce the cost of decoration, because the amount of floor tiles or flooring is less. The amount of flooring or tiles is indeed less, but if the tatami mats are placed directly on the concrete floor, the ground also needs to do self-leveling to level, in addition, if the tatami mats directly on the concrete floor to do, the bottom of the bottom must be used to the plate, and paved with flooring or tiles, the tatami mats can be eliminated after the bottom plate. So, if you don't have flooring or tiles underneath the tatami mats, you'll have to use the same area of sheetrock to make and install the tatami mat baseboards, and the price of this part of the material plus labor will be quite a bit higher than that of flooring or tiles.

If the floor under the tatami mats is not paved, then, in the future, if you want to dismantle the tatami mats or change them, the treatment of the floor of the room will be even more troublesome. First, it is difficult to match the same flooring and tiles, and even if it is matched, because the old flooring or tiles have already been used for a period of time, there will be a very obvious color difference. Secondly, the floor paving materials to supplement or change, its demolition and smashing paving is also very troublesome. If the home is floor heating, tatami mats under the floor, you can save the tatami floor, so more helpful to the dissemination of heat, will not cause too much impact on the indoor heating.

Other considerations for the installation of tatami matsIn the initial setup of the house renovation, you need to decide whether you want to build tatami mats, and roughly consider the size of the tatami mats, the location of the tatami mats, electrical circuitry, so as not to tatami mats after the installation of the location of the switches and sockets caused by the blocking.

The height of the tatami mats is generally about 400mm, and the height of the outlet reserved for the tatami mats should be about 450mm, of course, the wall of the tatami cabinets should not be set up with switches and sockets. Circuit transformation need to pay attention to at the same time, the water line transformation should also try to avoid the tatami mats underneath or wall. If the water pipe is buried under the floor of the tatami mats, once a leak occurs, it will be very troublesome to repair it. If you install a baseboard on a tatami mat, you'll need to cut ventilation holes or slots in the baseboard and cover. In addition to increasing the ventilation capacity of the internal storage space, this can also prevent insects and moisture. If there is underfloor heating, it can also increase the cooling effect of underfloor heating. However, if your home is heated by a radiator, try to avoid installing tatami mats at the radiator's location, so as not to affect the radiator's heat dissipation. If the tatami mats are installed next to a window, and if there are tatami mats with standing cabinets, you should consider reserving a place to install a curtain rod or a curtain box. The location of the curtain rod or curtain box must be reserved, and the curtain rod or runner must be installed in such a way that it will not be used for pulling and closing the curtains. Unless there is a special need, tatami mats are not recommended to install any lift or other functional components. These things are not practical, and the price is high, the failure rate is also high. If you want to play mahjong, you should buy a mahjong table. In addition, tatami mats outside storage as far as possible to choose to use drawers, easy access to items, inside storage with the lift lid. At the same time, try not to use a whole mattress on the tatami mat, customize the tatami mat in pieces. Suggestion: To summarize, I still personally recommend that before making tatami mats, the room floor is paved with floor tiles or flooring, and other aspects are secondary, mainly to ensure that the storage space within the tatami mats is better protected against moisture and insects and ants. Don't think of saving money by not laying flooring, the price of tatami flooring materials + labor is likely to be higher than the price of flooring, unless you use cork flooring or high-grade solid wood flooring. Three or five square meters of flooring, save not to save, but also increase the risk and trouble, tatami mats or paved flooring and then customized installation.
