took the time to look at the house yesterday. My bathroom is a sunken bathroom. I found that the master used construction waste to fill the toilet pit. The corners and corners that were knocked out were all thrown into the pit, including large and small bricks. . I remember I read a post that a sunken bathroom requires river sand and clay to fill the pit.
Is it really okay to use construction waste in this way? So I told the project manager my question. Unexpectedly, the manager said that everyone does this and there is no problem? I am really worried that the bathroom will sink or leak in the future, and it will be troublesome to solve it then, so I want to replace it with ceramics!
It is said online that there is a new type of waterproof material: waterproof ceramsite. What is waterproof ceramsite? It is a kind of ceramic particles, most of which are round or elliptical spheres in appearance. Its surface is a hard shell. This shell is made of ceramic or enamel, which has the function of water-proof and air-proofing, and gives the ceramic particles a stronger High intensity. It is used as a waterproof material for bathroom backfill in modern decoration.
First, it is light in weight: the thickness of bathrooms with sunken design is generally 400mm ~ 450mm; if the material is heavy, it will cause cracks in the floor slab, which is detrimental to waterproofing. The use of ceramsite takes full advantage of its light weight.
2. Moisture absorption: There are microporous ceramic granules inside the ceramsite, which can absorb moisture, which is undoubtedly beneficial to an environment like the bathroom.
3. Easy maintenance: Because it is easy to excavate, it is more convenient to construct when repairing than filling it with other materials.
4. In addition, ceramsite's strong adsorption and interception ability, good physical, chemical and hydraulic properties and other characteristics are suitable filling materials for the specific environment of bathrooms.
In the past, the backfill materials for bathroom decoration were lightweight bricks and cement sand, but their weight was relatively heavy. For some bathrooms with a relatively large sinking height, it would add a lot of weight. Generally speaking, It's not very safe. Nowadays, more and more people are using waterproof ceramsite. Although the cost of using waterproof ceramsite is high, it is the best for load-bearing and water absorption.
