Planning and maintaining your bathroom
Cleaning:
With so many great cleaning products out there in the market, for general cleaning, you can easily find a cleaning product that can cut through soap scum and mold to give your bathroom that beautiful clean look. When it comes to cleaning the fittings, just some soap and warm water can equally be effective. You can simply wash them down after use with warm soapy water and polish dry with a soft dry cloth to give it a finishing touch. Your Ceramic or porcelain fitting can be safely cleaned using bleach or other acidic based cleaners. Still, little more care is needed when cleaning taps and accessories made out of Cast Iron or plated with Gold or Chromium.
Future Access:
The planning of your new bathroom must make allowance for potentially accessing various plumbing fittings in the future. Making provisions for accessing and exchanging plumbing fittings in the future could save you money down the track.
Wooden Bathroom Products:
Wooden bathroom products need to be treated with special care in your bathroom. They usually comes coated with a specially finished lacquer to withstand splashes and condensation. However, you have to make sure that water doesn’t remain in contact with the wooden surfaces for a prolonged period to avoid damage to the surfaces.
Bathroom Mirrors:
Mirrors used in bathrooms are different from other mirrors as they come specially coated at the back to withstand continuous contact to steam and condensation. By picking a mirror explicitly designed for a bathroom setting, you can ensure it is fit for the purpose.
Acrylic Baths:
A correctly installed acrylic bathtub can be as equally rigid and longlasting as steel or cast iron equivalent. Acrylic bathtubs usually come with a supporting, height-adjustable cradle. Depending on the design, it could be a good idea to fit timber support under the full length and depth of the bath. Apart from giving much sturdier weight support, the timber support will keep the bathtub from moving when fitted and avoid the sealant between title and bathtub from cracking needing repair.
Wastes and Sealing:
The trick to a watertight seal between the metal waste and porcelain is to always use a suitable silicone sealant. It’s essential to avoid over-tightening the waste and never fit a waste, dry to prevent cracking of the porcelain.
Spacing your cistern:
When spacing the cistern, it needs to be mounted slightly away from the wall. When fitted to an outside wall, this will prevent changes in temperature between the cistern and the wall causing thermal shock. It will also help reduce the condensation that forms on the pottery surface.
