Introduction to installation of a balcony tubs

It may seem strange at first, but how can a balcony be fitted with a tubs? In fact, people often like to bathe in the sun, as if they were on the beach, and a balcony bathtub is just the thing for this. In order to use the balcony bathtub in the future can bring better results, I will introduce you to some installation methods of the balcony bathtub.

 

The balcony can be installed bathtub – test whether the water leakage

Before placing the balcony bathtub to install the water fittings,

do 24 hours closed water, to see whether the balcony bathtub leakage,

to pay special attention to the upper overflow.

24 hours closed water is difficult to do, outside the bathroom,

pour two buckets of water, try a good bathtub to water, so that the operation is more convenient.

 

When it comes to the actual installation, directly lift the balcony bathtub into the balcony,

placed in the location of the water,

due to the change of water when the faucet mixer position left just right is the width of this bathtub,

if the size of the bathtub and mixer is not just right,

we should pay attention to the centre of the bathtub should be directly opposite the centre of the mixer,

otherwise it will be very difficult to see in the future after the installation of the mixer tap.

 

The balcony can be fitted with a bathtub – levelling of the bathtub

When placing the bathtub on the balcony,

note that the other end of the water outlet should be slightly higher than the end of the water outlet,

so that the drainage is not smooth in the future.

This depends on the situation.

The bathtub would have been so recommended by Xiao Gong’s.

Observe that the bottom of the bathtub was originally left with a slope for drainage,

and put the water to the test after levelling the four sides of the bathtub with a level,

and as expected, the water drained out quickly.

The bath is visually pleasing and does not affect the drainage effect.

The balcony can be fitted with a bathtub – sand filling

The cast-iron balcony bathtub is strong,

but its thermal conductivity is very fast and should be paved with medium river sand,

which should be laid firmly at the bottom of the bathtub.

The tiler also recommends the use of foam,

which is not as liquid as river sand and is ideal for filling all the voids.

During the filling process, it is a question of how to keep the sand from leaking into the downpipe.

 

The balcony can be fitted with a bathtub – leave the access opening

Leave a hole 300㎜ high and 400㎜ wide at the downspout,

intercept a mouth according to the size,

intercept a wooden board (thickness 40㎜) that has been treated with waterproof and anti-corrosion according to the size,

and stick the bricks on the board according to the calculated number and arrangement of bricks with 903 construction adhesive.

Sealant is applied to the edges of the bricks and set on the box.

 

The balcony can be fitted with a bathtub – tiling

 

Balcony bathtub skirt of the paste brick is not need to grasp the hair,

lay a good red brick table, in the surface of a layer of cement mortar,

and then wait two days to paste brick can be, paste brick is very troublesome,

because the ground left the slope, and the bathtub is flat,

so each big brick should be polished into a different size,

can not be polished a lot at once, easy to grind more, to repeatedly grind.

The top edge of the tiles should be tucked under the rounded edge of the bathtub so that no sunny corners are formed.
