Without a bathroom it is impossible to imagine life in a city apartment. A socket for a washing machine is installed there, and other accessories are needed in the form of a hair dryer, an electric shaver, mirror lights, an ultrasonic brush and other modern convenient gadgets. You also need a socket in the bathroom for a water heater, which is indispensable when turning off hot water in the summer. Installing ordinary sockets in a small bathroom can lead to danger from exposure to water, so the choice of special waterproof sockets is preferable.
Correct connection of communications in the bathroom
From the incorrect connection of communications in the bathroom, problems can be created.For example, when installing a heated towel rail, builders installed it above the desired level on demand. There was not enough pressure in the pipe, so hot water did not flow through the pipes to the heated towel rail. Such cases indicate that it is necessary to control the installation of plumbing items, especially hidden ones. Or turn to the services of professionals.
Installation of forced ventilation
In old-style apartments, sometimes in standard new buildings, where small bathrooms are usually combined, residents suffer from odors, since the exhaust system does not work effectively. In such cases, designers advise the installation of a forced hood that operates with the inclusion of light.
Bathroom mirrors
For bathrooms, you should choose a mirror with a silver base, it is resistant to the damaging effects of moisture. Mirrors with a silver base have a higher reflectivity, they are not afraid of sharp temperature jumps. On sale there is such an accessory with a frame made of gold, nickel and chrome with undoubted high quality, but their cost is much higher.
When buying a mirror, you need to clarify about the coating of its surface with a water-repellent composition, with the help of which the service life of this toilet item is increased. There should be no defects on the surface in the form of cracks or frozen air bubbles, scratches and chips. A high-quality mirror has a flat surface, objects are clearly reflected on it.
The bathroom differs from other rooms in high (about 65%) humidity, so the mirror must be inserted into the frame. Suitable materials for the frame:
- stainless steel and plastic;
- plexiglass or metal;
- chromium.
Such materials are ideal for the manufacture of frames, do not rot from moisture and corrosion, they are easy to clean from any kind of contamination, do not crack and retain their properties over time. Some modern designers suggest inserting mirrors into wooden frames, in which case the edging and ends of the product must be treated with a special water-repellent compound.
Important! The shape of the mirror and the color of the frame should match the rest of the bathroom design.
Mirrors with engraving and patterns, different patterns look beautiful. Patterns can be geometric, drawings depicting beautiful graceful animals, insects (butterflies), cartoon characters. The arrangement of the bathroom and its design must be approached creatively, it is in this room that a person relaxes, relieves stress after a hard day.
