A reliable, time-tested way to hermetically close the gap between the bathroom and the wall.

Install the bathtub close to the wall without education the gap is almost impossible.

No matter how hard the master tries, there is always a small gap between the bathroom and the wall through which water will easily seep under the bathtub.

Thenproblems will inevitably arise, ranging from the formation of mold and unpleasant odors in the bathroom to flooding of neighbors.

therefore on ensuring the tightness of the junction of the wall and bath need to think more at the initial stages of repair.

Moreover, in this case there is a reliable way to hermetically close the gap between the bathroom and the wall for many years. How? Consider below.

If you plan to overhaul the bathroom with the replacement of tilesthen the best way to reliably seal the gap between the bathroom and the wall, in my opinion, is the use special trim.

Trim or inner corner for tiles consists of three elements:

• perforated ledge;
• special groove for tiles;
• concave decorative part.

The trim is selected depending on the thickness of the tile.

I proceed to trim installation after the bath is already installed close to the wall in level.

But, in order to reliably ensure the tightness of the gap between the bathroom and the wall one trim will still not be enough.

Before installing it absolutely necessary seal the gap with polyurethane foam.

After it dries, the excess must be cut off and Treat the joint with tile adhesive or sanitary silicone sealant.

Then it is necessary to apply tile adhesive to the wall and press the trimmed to size against the corner of the wall and the side of the bath.

Wherein excess adhesive will be squeezed out through the perforations, which will further secure the trim in place.

Then tiles are installed in a special trim groove, with glue applied to it. The result is a neat and well-protected joint.

In my work, I have been using this method of sealing the gap between the bathroom and the wall for more than one year and the reviews are always only positive.
