Bathtub in the past few years of home decoration, has been regarded as a "chicken ribs" existence, especially in some small apartments, few people install. However, in recent years, I have gradually found that more people are installing bathtubs than before. In addition to the change of concept on the one hand, on the other hand, there are also some bathtubs suitable for small space installation on the market. Here are natural bath bombs china. Here are some tips on how to design and construct bath bombs.

Second, the bathtub size guide
1. Conventional bathtub size
Different lengths of bathtubs match different bath patterns. Common bathtubs of different lengths on the market are:
Sitting bubble tub length is about 1300mm, height is about 750mm, width is about 750mm;

2. body size of bathtub space
Before entering the bathtub, the human body needs a certain space to stand. The minimum space is 600mm*1100mm
3, different sizes of toilet matching bathtub size

The length of more than 1800mm full bubble tank, there is a diameter greater than 1800mm round double bathtub.
Tips:
· The bathtub size should be as large as possible, because the more stretch the body will be more relaxed and comfortable when taking a bath;
· When there are two schemes, choose the position that is convenient to push and pull the window as far as possible;
· If there is space, try to add one more shower room for more convenient use;
· When space is really insufficient, but you want to place the bathtub, the best way is to expand the area of the bathroom.
Three, bathtub construction matters needing attention:
1. There are two forms of bathtub placement: independent and embedded.
Independent that the bathtub is directly placed on the ground, the construction is relatively simple, maintenance is also more convenient. The key point of the construction is to reserve and determine the location of the inlet and outlet, the outlet and the socket.
Before, some owners had to buy a bathtub after the hard installation was completed, and the result was not particularly suitable. Finally, the hydropower point had to be changed again. Therefore, the key to solving this problem is to determine the model of the bathtub before the construction of the hydropower, and ask the seller for the reserved position of the hydropower point, so that there will be no problems in the later installation.
2, embedded bathtub is the cylinder body is all embedded in the base, the construction is more complex. The key point of construction is to do a good job of waterproofing and reserving the access port in addition to the reservation and determination of the location of water and electricity. There are two ways to embed:
(1) According to the shape of the bathtub, build the base with red brick, and use the same type of bathroom wall brick veneer after painting.
② The second is to use a steel frame as the base frame, and then install the bathtub, and finally dry hang stone or tile.
3, can not ignore the problem: before buying the bathtub, you must consider the width of the door.
This situation often happens. The area of the toilet is generally small. The turn may not be convenient. If you do not consider the size of the door, it is likely to cause the bathtub to not enter the toilet. Sometimes is the difference of the few centimeters of the door set, the bare door can enter, installed the door set is not good, the "return cylinder" on the market is basically so.
4. Installation precautions
If it is an online shopping acrylic bathtub, the quality is relatively light, you can find a master or yourself can also install. But if it is a steel plate, cast iron or artificial stone bathtub, weight is about 300 pounds, or find a few workers to install it together, a person is not able to do it.
If it is a recessed bathtub, then the installation is more complicated, need to pay attention to the following matters:
(1) Must be built or welded in advance of the base, and in accordance with the product requirements to reserve a good hydropower point;
the low wall should have enough support, the bottom does not use brick or other hard objects to support, to avoid damage to the glaze;
(3) The overflow pipe and drain pipe joints should be closely connected, and after installation to test whether there is water leakage;
(4) The sewer pipe is inverted S type, which can effectively prevent odor;
⑤ The bottom of the bathtub and the surrounding hanging edge should be fully contacted and the force should be uniform;
⑥ The embedded bathtub must be reserved for the access port, convenient when the problem can be quickly repaired.
