Open sewer and plumbing pipes in the bathroom do not attach an aesthetic look room. Unsight pipeline structures are combined into the floor or walls, but this method requires cardinal alterations. Practical and easier to build a decorative box of the bathroom. For the arrangement of protective casing, various materials are used: plywood, chipboard, plastic panels, etc. The most suitable and convenient material for the bathroom in the bathroom remains plasterboard.
Content
To access the pipeline threaded connections on the box, revision hatches are provided. They are necessary for preventive maintenance or pipe repair without dismantling box. Key points of installation of the box in the bathroom are in the photo in the article. The mounted box in the bathroom made of drywall is trimmed with ceramic tiles, it is covered with wallpaper or paints.
Preparatory work
Most often, the problem (leakage) on the pipes of the internal wiring happen in places of compounds and on the valves. Before starting work on the installation of a decorative box, preventive plumbing works are carried out. The joints of the compounds are examined, and if necessary, prevention is carried out, replacement of nodes or gaskets, and metal pipes are painted.
Tools and materials for the box in the bathroom
A simple tool kit will be needed for work on the arrangement of the drywall box. Namely:
- roulette and construction level (horizontal and vertical direction) or Waterpas;
- a carpentry corner of at least 35 cm;
- mounting knife 18 mm with replaceable blades;
- drill with impact mechanism or perforator;
- reverse screwdriver or screwdriver;
- hoven for metal;
- hammer, marker, pencil, direct layout rail or meter line.
From materials need to be purchased:
- One sheet of plasterboard of standard dimensions 2500x1200 mm and a thickness of 9 - 12 mm is enough for a box in the bathroom. Given the high humidity in the bathroom, moisture-resistant wall plasterboard is purchased.
- A UD guide and CD forming a profile from galvanized steel or a wooden bar of 40x40 - 50x50 mm is used for the box framework. The timber is necessarily processed by antiseptics and soils on a tree that prevent the rotting and formation of fungi.
- Mounting the frame is carried out on plastic dowels 8 - 10 mm with screws. Small self-tapping screws - "flea" are designed to connect a frame profile. For a wooden frame, self-sinks are used on ½ longer than the thickness of the bar. Self-pressing of 35 - 45 mm are used for fastening drywall.
Corner external and internal ribs are strengthened with a plastic or perforated aluminum corner. For mounting the corner and leveling the surface of the box, acrylic putty will be required.
The procedure for performing the installation of a box in the bathroom
- The marker on the floor and walls are made of the frame of the frame of the frame. The space of at least 3 cm from all sides is left from the inner wiring pipes to the inner walls of the box. If it is assumed in the further facing of the box with ceramic tiles, it is reasonable to adjust the external parameters under its dimensions.
- On the marking on the walls and the floor is mounted on a dowel guide UD profile. The step of fastening dowels is 30 - 35 cm. Using Waterpas, vertical and horizontal angular racks are exhibited and recorded by the cross inserts of the CD profile. Transverse jumpers are installed in 50 - 70 cm increments and fixed with small screws. The perpendicularity of the jumpers is checked by a carpentry.
- If a wooden bar is used for the frame, the places of fixing screws are twisted with a thin drill, and the jumpers are amplified with metal corners.
- On the installed frame of the box for pipes in the bathroom, dimensions are removed and transferred to the drywall sheet. Stripes for plating are cut with a mounting knife with a flat rail. Stripping strips preferably from solid pieces of drywall. First of all, the elements for sidewall are cut. Side ends are cut from the exact size of the wall to the corner rack of the frame. After mounting the sidewalls with screws 35 - 45 mm in 2 - 3 cm increments, measurements are made for the facade pattern of the box. Self-tapping caps are "taken out" in the canvas of plasterboard at 1 - 1.5 mm are covered with primer and put off. After fixing the front strip of the box, go to the formation of external and internal angular ribs.
- To strengthen the angular joints, a perforated plastic or aluminum corner is used. The shelves of the corner are selected in such a way that the line of the hats of the screws turned out to be reorganized. The angular joint is labeled with a thin and smooth layer of finishing putty. The perforated corner is tightly pressed against the surface. Speaking through perforation putty aligns and smoothed out with a spatula.
Design and installation features for the bathroom
The gypsum cabarton box itself is a simple design, which is a framework of a profile with a plasterboard pattern fixed on it. When installing the box in the bathroom, some practical moments are taken into account.
Sewage riser in the bathroom
There is a revision on the sewer risers. The revision is a hole or removal with a manner fixed on rubber gaskets. In the case of a clogging, the revision opens access to the sewer pipe for cleaning. It is impossible to sewer with plasterboard. The design of the box provides a window for a free approach to revision. The finished window of plastic can be purchased in a construction store and secure on the loop.
Water pipes
In places of threaded connections, valves, valves and installation of the meter, access and repair is provided. It is recommended to make a fairly spacious door for repair work or completely collapsible box. For the formation of openings in the planned areas cut holes. The perimeter of the holes is strengthened by the CD profile and is closed with decorative plastic doors.
Decorative trim box in the bathroom
The box in the bathroom made of drywall is decorated with any finishing material. The ceramic tile is placed on glue, after setting the seams are processed by grouting. For the design of the box under painting or wallpaper, the surface is aligned with a thin layer of finishing putty and soaked with a primer under painting or wallpaper glue. The finishing panels of plastic MDF or lining are attached to the components of their attachments or waterproof construction glue.
