There are advantages to having a bathroom with a bedroom, such as greater privacy. Especially when there are guests at home, or when three generations live together, using separate bathrooms can provide a stronger sense of security.

My bedroom has a bathroom, but after using it for a year and a half, I found that the bedroom with a bathroom still has some flaws. The most obvious ones are the following four.

[Defect 1] The wooden floor turns black

My bedroom uses wooden floors. I found that at the bathroom door, the wooden floor turned black. For this reason, I asked a worker to repair it once. The worker repaired it, but told me that it would turn black before long.

It turns out that the darkening of the wooden floor has a lot to do with the bathroom. Every time you take a shower, there will be a lot of water on your body, feet, and soles, and this water will adhere to the wooden floor at the bathroom door.

Wood floors will turn black when exposed to water. If it is winter, there is floor heating on the ground. Water + heat will make wooden floors turn black faster.

How to solve this problem? My house has been renovated, so I can only doRemedy. My remedy is to place a foot mat at the bathroom door (in the bathroom) to absorb the moisture from the soles first and then put it in If you step on the wooden floor, it will be much better.

If you have not renovated yet, it is recommended to be careful when choosing wooden floors. Choose wooden floors with low moisture content, which will have a lower chance of turning black.

[Defect 2] Odor mosquitoes

There may be many When people buy a house with a bathroom and bedroom, they think of this problem in advance: the bathroom is very dirty, and if there are odors and mosquitoes floating around all year round, the \”dirty\” will spread to the bedroom.

To avoid this problem, we must first ensure hygiene. No bathroom will be too clean if it is not cleaned all year round.

Secondly, we need to find the source: Where do the odor and mosquitoes come from? The answer is drainage pipes. There are three main types of drainage pipes in the bathroom:

1. For floor drains, choose ones with anti-odor cores. There are many types of anti-odor cores. It is recommended to use T-shaped floor drains in dry areas and U-shaped floor drains in wet areas. If there is only one floor drain, choose U-shaped.

2. Toilet, pay special attention to the flange ring of the toilet. When installing the toilet, you can pay attention to the quality of the flange ring that comes with the toilet. If it feels hard, it is recommended to buy one yourself to replace it.

3. The sink should be used with an anti-odor drain device. A silicone sealing ring should be used to seal it between the drainage hose and the floor vertical pipe. Stick to it and completely isolate the sewer pipes from the toilet.

[Defect 3] Moisture

What bothers me the most Yes, it’s actually a moisture problem. Especially since my skin is not very good, eczema will occur when I sleep in an environment with too much air humidity. However, the bathroom is a very humid environment due to constant use of water.

Especially in new houses nowadays, bedrooms and bathrooms generally do not have windows. Without this vent, the moisture-proofing work becomes more difficult. The moisture-proofing methods I use are the following three:

1. Be sure to make good use of the exhaust fan, which is the only way to quickly ventilate the bathroom It is recommended to buy a high-power one, the bigger the better. It is best to buy a smart one that can delay shutting down by itself. In this way, you only need to open it when using it, and you don\’t have to worry about closing it, which will be much more convenient.

2. The bathroom door is the only natural ventilation outlet. So if possible, it is best to change to a bathroom door that can ventilate – installing a blind at the bottom can quickly reduce the air humidity. If you can accept leaving the bathroom door open all year round, you can install a random door and open it fully during normal times.

3. Dry and wet separation must be done well. No matter how small your bathroom is, you must make a dry and wet separation partition. Don’t underestimate wet and dry separation, it can keep most of the space in the bathroom dry. Concentrating water in a small area not only reduces air humidity, but also allows faster drainage.

[Defect 4] Loud noise

There are many exposed drain pipes on the ceiling and walls of the bathroom. These pipes are upstairs. We can\’t demolish the neighbor\’s house, we can only cover them up

But the appearance can be blocked, but the sound cannot be blocked. Every time the neighbor upstairs takes a shower, washes clothes, or washes his face, there will be a constant splash in our bathroom, let alone the bedroom. There is noise in the bathroom, which will definitely affect our rest.

What should I do? Currently, the only way I can think of is to use decoration:

Buy two rolls when decoratingSoundproofing cottonWrap all pipes, whether horizontal or vertical, to cover them.

Soundproof cotton can not only insulate sound, but also prevent the generation of noise on the pipe surface Condensation, causing the air humidity in the room to be too high.

In addition, you can also lay a layer when covering the risers and ceilings. Soundproofing blankets. Soundproofing blankets can reduce vibrations in pipes and reduce noise.
