Several methods of stopping water in kitchen
Leave a groove when laying bricks, then put the water deflector into the groove and seal both ends of the water deflector.
Bricks will be built into the shape of water stop, and then marble chips will be laid. Before installation, the installation height should be measured so that water will not overflow. In addition, the kitchen water stop can be made of marble, because marble is a natural stone with soft texture, so it has strong processability, and the texture of each marble is different, and the surface feels smooth.
What is the installation and function of water deflector?
1. Split mounted water deflector
The so-called split installation of water stop is actually the separate installation of water stop and countertop. In general, the kitchen countertop is installed in place first, and then the water stop is installed at the back, side or front of the kitchen countertop that contacts the wall. At this time, the water stop is a strip.
Advantages: First, the split water stop is very convenient to install and the overall price is low. Second, we can actually cut according to our own size to meet the needs of any size. Therefore, the current use is relatively high.
Disadvantages: Since the separately installed waterproof strip needs to be installed later, it is usually glued to the countertop during installation. A common problem caused by this is that the glue used for water stop will become moldy and black after a long time, and even open the glue. First, it will seriously affect the aesthetic level; Second, if the installation quality is not good, water seepage may occur. That is, water oozes from this part.
2, the overall installation of water stop
The so-called integral installation of waterproof strips means that our waterproof strips and countertops are integrated, not post-installation. That is to say, while processing the kitchen countertop, we also processed the water deflector. The specific performance is as follows.
Advantages: First, the integrally installed water deflector gives people a sense of wholeness and good texture. Because it is integrated processing and production, there will be no summer-planting and no traces of gluing. Second, the mesa effect is better. Because of the integrated treatment of waterproof strip, its material and kitchen countertop are integrated, and there is no glue. There is no problem of joint marks. Therefore, there will be no problems such as sticking, not starting, mildew and blackening.
Disadvantages: First, the price of the integrally installed waterproof strip is on the high side, which is several times higher than the ordinary one. Second, the measuring ruler needs to be customized. In other words, when we make kitchen countertops, we must process the water stop and countertops together in advance, and it is impossible to install them later.
The above is a summary of several methods, installation and functions of kitchen flashing. The kitchen water deflector plays a very important role. When installing, it is necessary to analyze the specific situation to see if the correct installation method is selected. Every little detail in the kitchen is indispensable, and everyone must understand it thoroughly.
