With the improvement of the quality of life, people pay more and more attention to the waterproof project of home decoration in the home decoration. After all, only when the waterproof project of home decoration is well done, can we achieve the goal of "letting the rain knock on the window without being aware of it, and refining our temperament from the sea of books". So, how to choose waterproof materials for home decoration waterproof works?
1. Waterproof materials need to distinguish between flexible materials and rigid materials
When purchasing waterproof materials, many people do not know that waterproof materials also have the distinction between rigidity and flexibility, so it is difficult to buy suitable waterproof materials, thus affecting the waterproof effect.
The flexible waterproof material is formed by chemical reaction to isolate the building structure from the environmental water, so as to achieve the purpose of waterproof.
The rigid waterproof material can improve the impermeability of the base by improving the compactness of the concrete base and reducing the void ratio.
In general, there is no good or bad distinction between flexible waterproof materials and rigid waterproof materials, but the choice of flexible waterproof materials or rigid waterproof materials is determined according to different decoration environments. Flexible waterproof materials have good extensibility, can adapt to slight structural deformation, and are more suitable for decoration of new and old buildings. The rigid waterproof material has poor adaptability to deformation, but its hardness and strength are relatively good, so it is generally used for Moisture proof and impermeable.
2. Different waterproof materials need to be selected according to different waterproof parts
Different spaces have different performance requirements for waterproof materials, so when selecting waterproof materials, in addition to distinguishing flexible and rigid waterproof materials, we also need to use waterproof materials according to different parts. Only when the waterproof materials are used in the right place, can we "make the best use of materials and things" to achieve better waterproof effect.
3. Select different waterproof materials according to geographical location
The geographical location will also have high requirements for waterproof materials, with rain in the south and snow in the north. In contrast to the south, the roof is always wet when it rains continuously, and the drainage is not smooth or even there will be ponding. It will not dry for several months, and the waterproof layer will be soaked. However, in severe cold and snowy areas, some waterproof materials cannot withstand the cycle change of low-temperature frost heave and contraction, and will be aged and broken in a short time. Therefore, different waterproof materials should be selected for different geographical locations.
4. Select waterproof materials with environmental protection certification
When doing waterproof work, some families often mistakenly believe that the area of waterproof works for bathroom, kitchen and other indoor decoration is not large, and they will continue to use cement and tiles after using waterproof materials, so no waterproof materials will cause pollution. In fact, because of the concealment of the waterproof layer, once inferior waterproof materials are used, the indoor environment will be polluted for a long time. Therefore, the selection of waterproof materials should be based on environmental protection certification standards.
5. See the product test report of waterproof materials
Regular brand waterproof materials will have corresponding product test reports. By viewing the product test reports, you can know the composition and quality of the products at a glance, so as to avoid purchasing inferior products.
6. Select waterproof materials according to the use area
The amount of waterproof material is directly related to the waterproof construction area of the home. The amount of waterproof material=the waterproof construction area * the amount of waterproof material per square meter. When calculating the space consumption, special attention should be paid to the fact that the waterproof layer of the shower wall in the bathroom should be no less than 1.8 meters high, and the waterproof height of the kitchen wall should be no less than 1.2 meters high, so as to avoid waste caused by endless use or unsuitable space.
