Repairs in the bathroom: the choice and laying of tiles. Underfloor heating and heated towel rail selection

Beginning to make repairs in the bathroom, it seems that this is no big deal. But, as with any repair has its own peculiarities. The most important thing is to decide on what material you will be working: tile, plastic or simply painting the walls and this is already a start. In my case, the choice fell on stoneware tiles.

Preparing walls for laying tiles.

1) remove irregularities

We irregularities were removed by leveling the wall plastering beacons.

2) plaster trowel

After the plaster has dried, using a grater we overwrote the surface of the walls.

3) cover wall primer

It is necessary for good adhesion of tile adhesive to the wall.

Selecting and laying tiles.

It now goes not about the design, because the taste and color of comrades there, and its size. You need not only to calculate the area of ​​coverage and the number of tiles, but also to select the size, so that later do not have to cut it. I must say that at the very bathroom we laid the tiles, meaning I do not see this, because it is still not visible, and you can hide the screen. And as we left untouched about 10 cm to the ceiling, so you can pull the false ceiling.

Warm floor.

On the Internet there is much debate whether the underfloor heating in the bathroom needed. We installed electric underfloor heating mats under the floor tiles. During the use of underfloor heating, I identified the following pros and cons:

Pros underfloor heating in the bathroom:

1) reduction of discomfort when leaving the bath, since the floor mat may pass cold

2) reduction of moisture-reduction space probability of mold

Cons underfloor heating in the bathroom:

1) the cost

2) an increased electricity bill

Heated towel rail.

It is important to define tile-how to work a heated towel rack from the heating or hot water. I'm in the bathroom, he works on the heating. In the first version a constant heating of the room is maintained in the winter, the second option only when you turn on the hot water, but at any time of the year.

In summary I would say that repairing the bathroom need to come up with a special responsibility to it has become not only a place for daily decision-hygienic procedures, but the most favorite place for relaxation.
