Such a simple process as the installation of a bath requires certain knowledge, without which the work itself can be difficult or not at all to the result that was expected. First, you need to choose a location. If you proceed from the standard size of the premises, then the best place will be one of the sides from the front door. True, this option implies the impossibility of installing additional accessories due to lack of space. So, if you plan to install a washing machine in this room, use the designer cunning – install the bath not on the sides of the door, but directly opposite. If there are very few places, purchase a compact-sized upper shell.
It is also worth starting and from whether you install the bath in an empty room, or with an existing place for washing. In the second case, the dismantling is preliminarily carried out. To do this, the water supply to the bathroom is overlapped, the drain system and the mixer are dismantled. Only after that is the dismantling of the main accessory, gently putting forward it from the previous place.
The rest of the work is carried out similarly with the installation of a bath in a new room. Walls and floor, if necessary, are prepared for further repair (laying of tiles), alignment is carried out. For him, you should use the level, and focus on the sides of the bathroom. The latter is a necessity, since the place of water drain usually goes under the slope, that is, the bottom is slightly lowered here.
Nevertheless, not everything is so simple, in addition to the above, it is worth starting from the material from which the bath is made and from its functionality. So the steel bath will require you to install a special pillow, which will prevent enamel damage due to the deformations of the walls under the weight of water and body weight. The pillow is made of foam concrete blocks or bricks, filling the space between them with a foam of the installation. You can do and only foam, but in any case put the material under the water filled with water.
As for the Acrylic baths, they use foam or a special steel frame for strengthening them, securely fixing the capacity. If for yourself you have chosen a bath with hydromassage, take care of connecting to the mains. The best option is to do without unnecessary connections, making the latter directly from the shield. It also needs an RCD, circuit breaker and a work of reliable grounding.
Well, then it is worth sealing the joints, put the tiles on the walls and the floor, fill the communications with a decorated screen or drywall and all – you can type water and check the work in practice.
