The bathroom is an area that is frequently exposed to water, so it is necessary to prioritize materials that are waterproof, damp and slippery, especially for floors. To limit water stagnation, the floor of the bathroom should be about 10-20 mm lower than the surrounding areas, and the floor drain mouth should be arranged about 10 mm lower than the floor to allow water to drain faster.
Walls should be tiled completely to increase moisture resistance and convenience for cleaning. The sink area should use a table surface made of natural stone or high-strength artificial stone, with an installation height of about 750-800 mm to create comfort when using.
If a bathtub is installed, the appropriate height is usually about 500 mm from the floor. At the same time, you should also equip a non-slip handrail to increase safety, especially for the elderly and young children.
For ceilings, materials with good moisture resistance should be used. The electrical outlets and switches in the bathroom need to be equipped with waterproof and damp covers to limit the risk of electrical leakage due to steam intrusion.
If using doors or glass partitions, you should choose tempered glass or acrylic glass to reduce the risk of injury in the event of a collision.
In addition, to ensure safety, you should not use phones or electrical devices in the bathtub or while showering, in order to limit the risk of electric shock and fire.
