In interior decoration, people usually consider waterproofing toilets and kitchens to ensure that there will be no water seepage, mold or other problems on the walls and floors while cooking. Therefore, kitchen waterproofing is also essential and requires specific construction methods.
The specific methods of kitchen waterproofing are as follows:
Pay attention to the waterproofing treatment of the kitchen, including the floor cabinets and hanging cabinets, in order to prevent water from leaking outward. Clean up the construction site so that it is wet but without standing water. Use waterproof material that meets environmental standards, and make sure that the variety, brand and mixing ratio meet the relevant standards. Ensure that the basic layer of waterproofing is flat and firm, not uneven, loose, hollow, sanding or cracking. Water content should be less than 10%. The waterproof layer on the kitchen floor in contact with the wall should be upward sloping, not less than 25cm above the ground, no flooding or accumulation of water, and after 24 hours of water closure test without leakage. Ensure that the waterproof layer is firmly pasted, no sliding, prying edges, blistering or wrinkling. Floor drains and drainage outlets should be kept free and take protective measures. Protect the pipe roots to be stable and not to be damaged or dislocated; detail all parts that are prone to gaps to prevent leakage. Pre-buried water supply and drainage pipes first, clean and level the base of the wall and floor, scrape a layer of plain cement paste to be dry, and then brush two waterproofing materials to complete the waterproofing, or you can waterproof the wall first. Interface treatment should be good, the upper and lower cross should be 200mm, using double waterproofing. The total thickness of the wall waterproofing layer (waterproofing plain mortar or waterproof mortar) is not less than 10mm, and the height is not less than 1800mm. mix waterproofing products and cement into waterproofing plain mortar, and brush it on the base surface once or twice, with a total thickness of 2mm. wait for the waterproofing plain mortar to dry for 10 to 20 minutes, and then mix it with waterproofing and cement, and sand to form a waterproofing mortar, and apply it on the waterproofing plain mortar surface, with a thickness of 8mm. 24 hours later, the Waterproof mortar layer solidified, sprinkling maintenance.The height of the kitchen waterproofing should be determined according to the actual situation of the kitchen, in addition to the ground, but also need to waterproof the wall. Usually, the height of the wall is 180 centimeters, taking into account the height of the person and the height of the water pipe. Of course, it can be adjusted as needed.
The specific practice of kitchen waterproofing varies depending on the owner's requirements for waterproofing, kitchen area and the actual results. Currently, there are more and more new materials used in kitchen waterproofing, and the construction methods represented by these materials will also vary. In the process of kitchen renovation, be sure to do a good job of waterproofing, rather than waiting until after the completion of the renovation
