Screens and frames Bathroom: manufacture and installation of their own

To hide all communications, pipes and plums, which are under the bathroom, installed a special screen. It mainly carries aesthetic burden to view the bottom of the bath did not spoil the design of the bathroom. Some modern baths in the kits come with screens that are ideally suited to her appearance and functionality, but not all. In order not to spend money on the purchase of a ready and not very cheap screen, you can think about how to make the screen under the bath with his hands. This not only allows you to save money, but also perform the installation screen, which will fully meet the tastes and preferences of the owners also possible to provide several useful functions screen

What does make the screen for a bath?
There is a huge amount of building materials that can be used in a wet environment the bathroom. So you can select the following options, based mainly on the material, which will form the basis of the screen:
Placing the screen of bricks;
Boarding moisture-resistant gypsum board, followed by finishing in any suitable material (tile, shtukatiurka, wallpaper, etc.) Sheathing moisture-resistant MDF, OSB, followed by finishing;
Casing plastic.
Buying a ready screen or set of sliding doors.

Besides shopping decisions only plastic paneling actually allows you to create screen without the need for further finishing. This material is quite acceptable and practical, is not affected by moisture and biologically neutral. Easy to clean and strong enough, even if it is damaged, one or more strips of plastic sheathing it is easy to replace. Yet for durable construction, or if the plastic just does not fit into the interior of the bath, you should choose one of the other three options.
In any case, the screen on the bath, from whatever he was going, must meet several requirements: In order to access to basic sanitation, and paved the nodes of communication must remain a technological opening, which can close the door or flap;
It is desirable to hermetically sealed space near the floor to separate the floor under the bathroom and the rest of the bathroom; The screen is not a supporting structure and a bath should not rely on it.
For convenience, the screen is formed by a small recess, often with a bias to it does not interfere with the feet. Some artists in the presence of free space at the side of the bathtub or mount it as a part of the screen in addition locker or drawer for household chemicals or detergents.

Laying brick screen
This embodiment is simple. On the border of the bath, or from wall to wall, near which there is a bath, a brick wall erected in a half-brick thick. Always, as in the construction of a conventional wall, brick alter, that is, each successive number is shifted by a half-brick. The location is convenient for access to drain the bath formed window. In order for it to cover, enough to buy or make a door and attach to the sheds. Although the brick wall and strong enough, it is still not worth it to prop up the bath, so that between the last row of bricks and the edge of the bath must remain a gap of about 1-2 cm, which is blown with foam. Then you can sheathe masonry ceramic tile or any other suitable material, which will be combined with the design of the room

Boarding plasterboard

The most flexible in terms of forming the shape of the screen method. Everything rests only in the desire of the owner. Setting the screen under the bath begins with the formation of the frame. This can be used as the metal profile and the wooden beams 40x40 mm. Wood necessarily required primed with antiseptic and protection from moisture otherwise inevitably tread mold and fungus.

When installing the frame is taken into account that on top of the drywall will also sheathe the front material. So the wall, which is adjacent to the side of the bath, there is a line installation edge profile so as to be recessed from the edge of the bath for subsequent plating thickness. For example, if you intend to impose screen tiles, the indented 12.6 mm + 5 mm + 4-6 mm (tile thickness) = 21,6-23,6 mm. The line should be continued and the floor along the entire length, which will spread the screen. It uses a plumb line to adjust relative to the edge of the bath.

Along the perimeter of the resulting line profile is fixed UD. That profile, which is fastened to the floor, in addition to glue sealant should be to avoid getting water under the tub and out of it. Next, a vertical profile of CDC fixing to the support profile. Distance is maintained between the profiles of 600 mm, and an additional rack mounted in a place where there will be a technological hole or recess for the installation of the drawer or cabinet. In the center of the bath can be formed protrusion leg. For this profile is not installed on the floor in a straight line, and the letter U with a recess under the bath of about 10-15 cm. In this case stands in a niche to be installed obliquely.

For moisture-resistant gypsum board sheathing used green. His cut corresponds to the length equal to the height of the screen minus 2 cm. Fastening made hardened black screws every 15 cm along the perimeter of the plate and in the center of the profile. It is important to choose the right length of the screws to avoid being screwed into the upper tapping in acrylic bathtub. The sheets are fastened to the floor and stepped back from the edge of the tub 1 cm. This is to prevent swelling of the drywall. After all, even though it waterproof, but from direct contact with the water still will begin to break down. When finished paneling, drywall primed and coated in any suitable material, such as ceramic tiles, decorative plaster, wallpaper wet water-resistant, plastic materials, etc.

Boarding, MDF, OSB
The whole process is virtually identical plasterboard paneling. The only difference is that the screen should make additional ventilation slots on the opposite side of the opening process. It is enough to perform a slit width of only 2-3 cm long and 5-10 cm, which can cover a neat plastic grille. Sheets MDF necessarily primed on both sides before fixing on the frame.

The screen of the plastic lining
The simplest option would be to trim the plastic tubs lining. In this embodiment, as soon as it turns a beautiful finishing surface and does not require additional treatment or plating. If necessary, the screen is easy to disassemble to get full access to the space under the bath. Except for the lining need another starter profile which strengthens the future of the perimeter of the screen. On top of a first fixed edge of the bath timber or metal profiles to the walls, and only then start the plastic profile. For reliability and durability of the entire structure is also desirable to secure the profiles and the middle of the screen. This is especially important when using cheaper options plastic lining that even small mechanical stresses can deform and lose shape. Lower profile, as in the previously described embodiments, it is desirable to be glued to the floor using a sealant.

Strips of plastic are cut using conventional construction and infest knife edges in the starting profile. Since the entire screen is dialed. In place of the process of formation of the hole is cut rectangle and inserted special plastic door, which are sold in the same places as the lining itself. Since the sale is unimaginable variety of plastic lining of color design, pattern, and even texture, then choose the appropriate option is not difficult. Adjustable version of the plastic screen under the bathroom As for the screen by sliding the bathroom, it requires the creation of a fantasy, or a ready kit for the installation of any hardware store. If you do not have a second - look for ways to encourage the implementation of the craftsmen.

In conclusion
As seen from the embodiments, only the use of plastic allows the screen to collect a bath, which can be quickly disassemble and assemble back if necessary. However, other methods allow you to use a much larger number of coating materials to the screen does not stand out against the general interior design, especially when it includes close and there is no plastic. In any case, though the installation of the screen for a bath with his hands will take a little longer than the installation of purchased finished, but the result will be much more acceptable to comply with a coherent picture of the interior. In addition to manually assembled screen is cheaper and is more reliable than most ready to offer to set a bath

What you can not have in the house

1. An old worn slippers should not be stored in the house - they attract negative energy. If you have torn slippers, they must be removed from the apartment.

2. Also, it should not be stored in the house torn, worthless clothes. Always evaluate the old shoes and clothes on the principle that whether you wear it yet. If you do not - you throw away.

3. Utensils cracked, chipped, defects obtained during the operation violates the energy of food, making it dangerous for human health. How would you not like the dishes, but if it is cracked or split a piece of it, this dish should be discarded. Plate (bowl) represents a family. Flaws dishes point to possible problems in relationships.

4. Live plants, the stems of which buzz wall can not be inside the house. Climbing plants attract a variety of diseases. If the plant is located outside the home, from the outside, it will only benefit - your home is protected. But if such a plant inside the house, its growth should be arranged so as to form a ball of twisted stems in a pot. You can set the frame of the wire.

5. Reeds in the house to keep dangerous. Dried, they attract bad luck and illness portend death. Such troubles will feather and if they decorate the room. He foretells widowhood.

6. At the same time in the house can have other dried flowers, for the most part they process negative light, protecting the occupants from illness.

7. Do not be grown at home and such flowers as pansies. They traditionally are planted by the graves.

8. Conifer branches in a vase to put appropriate only during the Christmas holidays. Bad luck - keep these branches in an apartment in the rest of the year.

9. But begonia - the symbol of family well-being - always helps to balance the situation.

10. Presented with the palm will never make in your home - this is a bolshmu grief.

10 Reasons to kill off FLOWERS IN THE HOUSE

1. Excessive watering.

Excessive watering - it is the most common mistake, because of which the flowers are dying in the house. Except for wetland species such as the Egyptian papyrus (Cyperus papyrus), the flowers do not have to stand in water. The ground is too wet the roots can not breathe, gradually rot and the plant without healthy roots doomed.

Often, you can trick the soil itself. On the surface may be dry, but inside can still contain sufficient moisture. This is simply checked using a wooden stick: slide it into the ground so as plugging into a cake by checking. whether it is baked. Since both the dough, wet the soil sticks to the stick. If you remove the stick is dry, it is time watering. Water should be enough to keep it in a bowl no more than 15 minutes. The larger and easier to plant leaves, the more water evaporates, so more drinks.

2. Dry.

Without water we can not live any plant. Exceptions are almost immortal succulents with thick leaves that retain the water reserve in the difficult times. If the plant is withered, but not fully dried out, try to save him. A pot with a flower drop for a few minutes entirely in a bucket of lukewarm water. Because the dry substrate, especially containing peat, worse absorbs moisture. Another important factor is the quality of water. Plants should be soft and to defend, in any case, not the ice.

3. Insufficient light.

If the plant loses its beauty and rich color, it means it is not enough light, and you need to put it as close to the window. At the side of the box is a good shade-loving plants, such as such as Monstera, who used to use the smallest portion of light, which will be received in the native rainforest. Naobor, light-loving plants occur only on a windowsill or near about him. The intensity of light will enhance the white walls, and a mirror will help. The most expensive option - is fluorescent lighting.

4. Sunburn.

Surprisingly, some of the plants and an excess of sun harms. For example, direct sunlight harm to almost all orchids - they need ambient light. Not stand the hot rays of the morning or evening, but the midday sun, reinforced glass, just burn the leaves and the plant dies. Therefore, orchids should be placed near the eastern window or away from the south or the west.

5. Improper temperature.

Flowers's house differ in the requirements for temperature, so these requirements you need to know before buying a certain plant. Subtropical and Mediterranean species require detom warm winter but usually rest at 10 - 15 degrees to the next year and HB were beautiful and healthy. In winter it is better to stand on the veranda or winter gardens, if the house has a bright cold aisle, too, is a good place. And for example, the legendary camellia cold is a must. Subtropical plants do not harm the fluctuations of day and night temperatures from spring to fall.

6. Dry air.

Lack of moisture in the air does not destroy the plant but have an impact on its appearance. Therefore, all the flowers in the house (with the exception of succulents, which it does not matter) you need to irrigate. Sprinklers for watering flowers need their one - two times a day. If you do not have the time to help the bowl with water, put some pots.

7. Pests.

Flowers in the house will enliven the interior, but unfortunately, like home not only to them but also the insects that feed on them. Most often, flowers are attacking mites (spider, cyclamic), aphids, whitefly, Jose scale, thrips, and others. In order to detect them in time, the plants should be inspected regularly. Aphids will see immediately, but the red spider is not so easy to find. You will see only small webs on the underside of leaves. Please try intruders removed mechanically, for example, put the plant under a jet shower or wiping leaves cotton swab, wound on a stick. Then, instead of insecticides, try harmless to humans based on the spraying of oil and lecithin Biool, which insects stick together and thereby ruin. In the testes, these tools do not work, so a week later - the two need to spray again.

8. Diseases.

Even worse than the insects, defined diseases caused by microscopic fungi and bacteria. Most often affect plants is fungi that form on the leaves brown spots moist. Damaged parts must be removed, the plant is isolated from the others, and if the disease persists, try to process plant fungicides for the testing instructions, that buy in gardening needs.

9. Lack of nutrients.

Plant roots rapidly dredged nutrients from the soil in a small pot. Therefore, they need to be added regularly, otherwise the plants will not grow, and prettier. Fertilizers set easiest to use liquid. They dissolve in water according to the instructions and added during irrigation. You can use one universal remedy or special plants with attractive foliage, flowering plants, trees, etc. Plants that can not tolerate calcium, such as citrus fruits and orchids need special means to feed. From spring to autumn the plants are fertilized once a week in the winter - once a month, and those plants that spend the winter in the cold, do not fertilize at all. You can also use concentrated fertilizers in the form of tablets or sticks, which will last for a month or more. However, not all of these nutrients get all the roots.

10. Too small dishes.

If plant roots completely fill the pot, they can not grow. If you plant udobryaeete regularly, it will not die, but can not grow and develop. So buy your new pot plant and transplant it! The best time for grafting - this spring. Pot is required for one - two sizes larger. If the plant is already large and heavy, and the pot is difficult to change, replace at least the top layer of the soil and fertilize it well.
