Shelves, shelves or closets above the toilet: an advantageous solution for space and storage. Built-in wardrobes in the toilet behind the toilet: varieties of models and subtleties of manufacturing DIY shelf from chipboard to the toilet

One of the main problems of a city apartment is the eternal lack of space. Countless detergents, tools, screws, nails, spare taps for the mixer and other household items are rapidly filling cabinets and shelves. Today we will meet several simple constructions toilet cabinets that can partially solve this problem.

Wishes

Ideally, any home-made cabinet above the toilet should satisfy a few simple requirements.

• The depth of the structure should be minimal... There is not enough space in the toilet; our goal is to make good use of the niche behind the cistern, and not to deprive ourselves of the rest of the comfort.
• The structure must be moisture resistant... The humidity in the bathroom is always slightly higher than the average for the apartment due to the evaporation of moisture in the toilet bowl and cistern.

In addition: toilet, bathroom and kitchen are more often than other premises subject to flooding in case of accidents.
It is desirable that the next incident does not force the owner to make major repairs.

• Finally, the cabinet above the toilet should not block access to the risers located in the niche.... There are often hidden valves that cut off the water to the apartment, and filters rough cleaning... In homes where hot water is not distributed centrally or is supplied intermittently, a boiler or instantaneous water heater is often located in the same niche.

Materials and solutions

What can you do with minimal cost time, effort and money to build a locker in the toilet behind the toilet with your own hands?

Here are some simple solutions.

Drywall

Very aesthetic open shelves can be made from moisture-resistant drywall.

The frame is assembled from a galvanized profile; the procedure for further work is quite traditional for structures made of gypsum plasterboard:

1. Plasterboard parts cut to size are hemmed to the frame with self-tapping screws 25 mm long. You can use a jigsaw to cut drywall, or you can simply break off the sheet by cutting it with a sharp knife to a third of its thickness.

1. The seams and caps of the self-tapping screws are puttyed with gypsum putty (ABC, Fugenfüller) twice with intermediate drying.
2. Then the seams are roughly rubbed with a sanding mesh and swept away from dust, after which the entire surface of the gypsum board is primed with penetrating soil.
3. The next step is to reinforce the seams. In the author's humble opinion, for this purpose it is better to use not a serpyanka, but a rolled fiberglass: with sufficient strength, it will make the seam less noticeable and make it possible to do without additional costs of the putty for leveling. Fiberglass is glued to PVA slightly diluted with water.
4. After the reinforcement has dried, the seams are re-putty as thinly as possible, "on a sdir", with a layer of plaster, polished with a mesh, swept and primed.

How can you decorate the plasterboard shelves in the toilet behind the toilet?

Structural element	Finishing method
Top horizontal surfaces	Tile. It is cut to size diamond disc and sits on regular tile glue; the seams are rubbed with any colored grout
Vertical and lower horizontal surfaces	Waterproofing (rubber) water emulsion. It is applied in three layers with a brush or roller. It is better to wipe off the stains on the tiles right away: the rubber dye is very resistant; the author has successfully used it to paint steps on street stairs
Corners	It is better to paste over them with a PVC corner with silicone sealant. Galvanized or plastic corner profiles laid under the putty will quickly lose their neat appearance

Plywood

A very sturdy and durable cabinet behind the toilet in the toilet can be made of plywood.

The specific design of the reader will be prompted by his creative talent; the author will focus on the technical problems of construction.

• It is better to use FC plywood 15 millimeters thick. The more moisture resistant PSF is not suitable for residential premises due to the composition of the adhesive: it contains phenol formaldehydes.

• Shelves up to half a meter long do not need stiffening ribs and can be mounted on galvanized corners screwed to the walls with dowel screws. Longer shelves are best reinforced with vertical ribs cut from the same plywood. Rib width - about 50 mm; it can be run along the near or far edge of the shelf.
• A circular saw is best for cutting plywood. Jigsaw cuts will always be less straight. You should drive the saw slowly along the cut: there will be much less scoring.
• Elongated parts are marked on the sheet so that their longer edges on the front side are parallel to the veneer grains in the surface layer. The reason is, again, at the edges of the cut: when cutting along the fibers, there will be no untidy scoring and raised chips.
• Thick plywood can be joined end-to-end with self-tapping screws 45x4 mm. The part that is mounted flat is pre-drilled with a 4 mm drill; the end face of the second part is drilled with a diameter of 3 mm to a depth of 30 mm. Don't forget to countersink the hole to hide the screw head.
• Parquet varnish on an alkyd-urethane base can be used as a protective and decorative coating. It is applied in three to five thin layers with intermediate drying. Before applying the first layer and after it has dried, the parts must be sanded: FC plywood initially has a far from ideal surface; varnishing will raise the pile on it, which will make the plywood rough.

Wood

Wood compares favorably with plywood in that it does not sag under long-term exposure to significant loads. In addition, wood (especially of noble species) looks much better under a layer of transparent varnish; however, the price of this material is not comparable to the cost of one or two plywood sheets.

To connect parts from a solid array, not self-tapping screws or nails are used, but pins set on glue. For the manufacture of dowels, hard woods are used (birch is quite suitable from inexpensive ones); it is better to use natural adhesives: casein or albumin.

Wooden cabinet. The wall is made of lining, the door is made of a thin lath.

Chipboard

The chipboard, laminated on both sides, attracts only by the simplicity of finishing the finished structure: in essence, the manufacturer only needs to paste over the ends of the parts edging tape... With moisture resistance, everything is sad; we are also not talking about any resistance to deformation - for shelves over 30 centimeters long, stiffeners are required.

The only thing for which chipboard can be used without any problems is the manufacture of cabinet doors. The doors in the toilet behind the toilet will not be subject to serious mechanical stress, and the vertical orientation will not allow the material to deform under its own weight.

In the photo - cabinet doors from laminated chipboard.

A special case

Often, the owner of the apartment takes on work for purely aesthetic reasons: the only goal is to close the risers of water supply and sewerage, which pretty much spoil the look of the toilet.

• Instead of drywall, it is better to use dense plastic wall panels. We emphasize: mechanical strength is important here. Accidental blow will easily pierce thin inexpensive panels domestic production; but one and a half times more expensive Italian ones can be damaged only with a hammer.

Tip: To assess the strength of the plastic, squeeze the corner of the panel with your fingers.
If he crumpled, go to the next rack.

• The panels are fastened to the galvanized profile frame with clamps. The structure should be collapsible: sooner or later, access to the risers will be required. A starting L-shaped profile is launched along the perimeter of the wall.
.

• In order for the risers to be ventilated and not rusty due to the formation of condensation, a pair of narrow and is mounted in the upper and lower parts of the wall.

Conclusion

Of course, we have considered only a small part of complete list possible solutions. As usual, the reader can discover some fresh ideas by watching the video in this article. Success in creative work!

The rational use of the bathroom space largely determines the level of its comfort, and the aesthetic component is important for making the room cozy and attractive. A plumbing element such as a toilet cabinet helps to achieve these goals. If such a product is present, using the toilet will be as convenient as possible.

The bathroom is one of the most important areas of the house, and mistakes in its arrangement can affect the comfort of life. To enhance the ergonomic characteristics of this space, it is worth choosing functional, beautiful, durable closets for the toilet.

Furniture of this kind has a huge number of advantages and allows you to solve many important issues when arranging a bathroom:

• veiled communications (sewer and water pipes), you can give the room an attractive, neat look. Naked pipes can hardly be called beautiful, and their design rarely fits well in an apartment. Therefore, do not leave them unattended. By choosing the right locker, it will be possible at any time to get to the communications without any particular difficulties, which is extremely important in case of breakdown;
• choosing a spacious model, you can provide yourself with additional storage space household chemicals, items for cleaning. If you divide the space inside the product into an area for pipes and for shelves, you can save a decent amount of space in the bathroom. This is especially important when the room has small size, as, for example, in Khrushchev;
• if there is a water meter, it can also be hidden in a closet in the toilet. Thus, you provide yourself with hassle-free access to the equipment, but hide it behind the facade of the furniture for a more aesthetic interior.

Such furniture has a lot of advantages, it is for this reason that it is so popular these days among owners. country houses and apartments. But they are revealed as much as possible if a quality product is purchased.

Product variants

Modern toilet cabinets are very diverse in terms of operational parameters and appearance, so the consumer can easily choose a model in any style, depending on the decor of the bathroom of a particular size and color.

Let's describe the most popular types of toilet cabinets. By the type of doors, plumbing products are distinguished with:

• louvered doors of two types: roller shutters and "pseudo-blinds". The first option is convenient for a small bathroom due to its compactness. The door does not swing open, which requires additional space, but folds up, rising up. Therefore, louver models can be hung in places that are inconvenient in shape. The second option is a conventional facade made in the form of blinds, but without the presence of movable slats. Such a door allows the interior of the furniture to be perfectly ventilated;
• a plumbing hatch that covers a niche with pipes. In practice, the hatch is a regular corner frame, on which a metal door with a lock is mounted using hinges. Note that such a solution will not be expensive, but the hatch does not always look stylish, expensive;
• swing facades - it is better to make such structures to order. They are varied in design, size, functional and practical;
• compartment doors - this design does not require additional space to open the door, since it simply slides behind the second facade.

With sanitary hatch

Based on the material of manufacture, models are distinguished from:

• natural wood is an expensive, beautiful, durable material. But it is worth remembering that when combining a bathroom and a toilet, the service life of a wooden cabinet may be reduced. An increased level of air humidity will negatively affect the quality of surfaces.
• MDF - the cost of MDF structures belongs to the category of average, but under the influence of water, the material can lose its shape;
• Particleboard is the most undesirable option for a combined toilet with a bathtub, since particleboard quickly absorbs moisture from the air and swells. But for a detached toilet, chipboard is ideal option cost and external aesthetics;
• plastic is the most practical option, since plastic is absolutely not afraid of high humidity. But the appearance of plastic models is not always aesthetic. It is rather a budget option.

Glass

Based on the shape of the product, cabinets are distinguished:

• rectangular - standard products that are selected for the bathroom more often than others;
• angular triangular - fit perfectly into the space of the corner, which allows you to rationally plan it;
• angular in the shape of a trapezoid - more spacious than a triangular model;
• radius - have unusual designbut they are quite expensive.

Placement methods

If the sewer pipe runs in a niche, you should choose a standard rectangular or square cabinet in the toilet behind the toilet. it perfect solutionthat allows you to make communications attractive. The main thing is to guess with the size of the model so that it fits well into the niche. If you want to save money, you don't have to buy a ready-made cabinet, but choose a hatch with a lock, with which you can close a niche with pipes.

If the pipes are concentrated in the corner of the room, then you should opt for the corner cabinet model. Such designs are characterized by high capacity, and their design will give the toilet a pleasant look.

Additional functions

In small bathrooms, it is extremely important to endow all pieces of furniture with high functionality, practicality, so that using the room is as convenient as possible at any time of the day. At the same time, do not forget that the design small space also affects its comfort. Therefore, the models of wardrobes in the toilet should have additional functions. Such a product is shown in the photo in the selection.

How to choose the right one

If the design of the bathroom is chosen, it remains to choose for it suitable model cabinet. When choosing a mini size toilet cabinet, it is important to remember the following:

• initially it is required to decide on the choice of the shape of the product. If there is a niche, choose built-in models to order, if not, you can choose more affordable, ready-made models;
• then take measurements of the space in order to understand which cabinet of what scale will successfully fit into the bathroom. It is also required to measure the parameters of the pipes, which will hide in the cabinet. Be sure to sketch schematically the features of their location before leaving the furniture store;
• select the actual color scheme and design of the sanitary element, which will perfectly complement the decor of the bathroom;
• ask the seller for a quality certificate for the product, which will guarantee a long service life of the furniture, its practicality, high quality materials used in the process of its manufacture. It is also important to check the availability of fasteners and other components. If in addition to the model there is no bracket or hardware, you will have to purchase such fasteners separately. They will allow the installation of the structure on the wall surface.

Remember, the closets in the toilet, the photo of which is presented below, should be in harmony with the decoration of the room, complement it with their beauty. Then the room will look laconic, holistic.

The question of how to make a toilet behind a toilet arises at the first glance at this cramped room.

Here you need to place detergents and hygiene products, other small items, but there is not enough free space.

A locker located in unused space helps to solve this problem and also to give the toilet a certain appeal.

You can easily make such furniture with your own hands, but for this you should take into account the specifics of the bathroom.

Training

The only place in the toilet where you can store the various items you need is behind the toilet.

It is small, and even occupied by plumbing fixtures, but with the right approach, a fairly voluminous cabinet can be entered here.

It will not "eat up" the usable space, but in order to become really useful it must meet specific requirements:

• minimum depth... The dimensions of the furniture should not interfere with the use of the toilet, which means that they cannot go beyond the cistern;
• moisture resistance... The toilet belongs to a room with high humidity, and the proximity of the tank and pipes increases the risk of direct contact with water;
• the presence of ventilation holes to prevent the accumulation of vapors inside;
• security free access to plumbing equipment ... In the considered area, cold and hot water pipes, valves, cleaning filters and other units can be located. The locker should not block access to them, even if these units are used very rarely;
• attractive appearance.

According to the installation method, toilet cabinets are divided into built-in and hinged (body) types. In the first case, they fit between walls or in niches and are securely fixed permanently. The cabinet cabinet is hung on the wall and is manufactured as a separate mobile furniture item. It can be moved, removed for a while.

Of what?

Materials for toilet furniture are selected taking into account the following requirements:

• sufficient mechanical strength;
• light weight;
• water resistance;
• external appeal;
• ease of processing during manufacture and cleaning during operation;
• ecological cleanliness.

If they do not have sufficient moisture resistance, then it becomes necessary to apply protective coatings or carry out a special hydrophobic impregnation.

The following materials are most often used for the manufacture of cabinets:

• drywall... For toilet conditions, its waterproof varieties are suitable. Drywall sheets are easy to process and are sufficiently resistant to condensation and moisture, are not subject to decay. The appearance is given by staining in the colors you want... The disadvantage is low mechanical resistance to bending, as well as brittleness of corners and edges;
• plywood... For bathrooms, modifications of FC and FSF with increased water resistance are quite suitable. Usually, sheets with a thickness of at least 14 mm are used. It should be noted that plywood of the FSF type contains phenol-formaldehyde, which at elevated temperatures can be released from the material;
• wood... In the manufacture of the frame, a wooden beam is most often used. The board can also be used for doors. The main disadvantage is rotting under the influence of moisture, which requires impregnation of the material with special compounds;
• laminated chipboard (Laminated chipboard). Increased water resistance allows it to be used as shelves, doors and hinged housing. When choosing this material, one should take into account its significant mass, which leads to deformations under its own weight. This circumstance requires the use of reinforcing elements (stiffeners);
• metal... In the manufacture of the frame, an aluminum profile is often used for attaching drywall or a metal corner. Metal has high mechanical strength, but steel elements require reliable protection against corrosion;
• plastic... Dense plastic panels are widely used as doors. The variety of colors makes it possible to provide the desired design. Important advantages are low weight and absolute water resistance.

The choice of materials for toilet cabinets is made taking into account the chosen design, size, design solutions.

Advice... The thickness should be optimal - to provide the necessary strength, but not to increase the weight excessively.

Scheme and drawing

Before you start making a locker, you need to think carefully about how to place it in a specific place. For this, the space behind the toilet or installation is carefully measured, and a diagram of the location of plumbing units is drawn up, to which access must be left. It is provided with special slots, holes, hatches.

Based on the drawn up diagram, a drawing is developed with full detailing and reference to the installation site. The design of the cabinet is quite simple - a frame, top and bottom panels, shelves and doors, and, if necessary, a false panel (rear wall).

Advice... The frame can be installed on the entire wall behind the toilet or only take up the space above it and the cistern.

A typical toilet in apartment buildings often has width 82-85 cm... With this size, the outer panels and shelves are mounted to the full width. Cutouts are made in them for passing pipes. The depth of the cabinet is set according to the distance of the tank from the wall. As a rule, it is 30-40 cm. pipes require a cut-out up to 25 cm long.

The doors can be of several options. Most often, simple, swing doors (2 pieces) are installed. It is possible to use projects with sliding doors and roller shutters.

Tools

For the manufacture and installation of a cabinet in the toilet, you must take care of such a tool in advance:

• puncher;
• bulgarian;
• electric drill;
• screwdriver;
• electric jigsaw;
• plane;
• hacksaw;
• scissors and a hacksaw for metal;
• hammer;
• chisels;
• pliers;
• paint brush.

To carry out measurements and quality control, you will need a building level, a plumb line, a tape measure, a metal ruler, a square.

Manufacturing

In cramped toilets, most in demand built-in cabinet option... It is installed between the walls behind the toilet and covers the back wall. After developing the drawing and installation scheme, you can start manufacturing and assembling this furniture. First of all, the installation site is carefully prepared. The walls must be well dried. Clean off any dirt and damaged coating. If necessary, the surface of the walls is leveled.

Advice... If there are places with mold or fungus, then they are thoroughly cleaned and processed with copper sulfate.

Frame over the toilet

The first step of installing the cabinet is installation site marking... If the cabinet reaches the ceiling in height, then the marking begins from its surface. The extreme points that limit the depth of the cabinet are marked. A plumb line is lowered from them to check the location relative to the boundaries of the drain tank. The mark should not go beyond its limits. A line is drawn - the border of the front part. It should be strictly perpendicular to the side walls of the toilet.

Further, it is carried out wall markings... The lower point is set by stepping back from the top of the tank at the distance necessary to service its handle during operation. A line parallel to the floor is drawn through this point.

With the help of a level, these markings are transferred to the opposite side so that both lines are at the same distance from the floor. Then, the location of the shelves inside the cabinet is marked on the walls.

If the cabinet does not reach the ceiling in height, then all markings are provided on the walls. First, the lower boundaries are marked according to the specified method.

After that, the desired height of the cabinet is measured from them (according to the drawing) and lines are drawn strictly parallel to the lower markup.

The most common structure of the toilet cabinet frame is the bottom and top walls (panels), rigidly connected by vertical posts.

Advice... Most often, the frame is assembled separately, and then inserted into the wall and securely fixed.

As racks can be used wooden beams measuring 30x30 mm or aluminum profile... Rigid panels made of laminated chipboard, planks or thick plywood can be directly stitched together. For the manufacture of drywall panels, first, a frame is assembled from a metal profile, which is sheathed with a drywall sheet.

Before assembling the frame in the lower panel, and, if necessary, in the upper wall, a section is cut out for joining with pipes. For this, a slot is made with a width equal to the diameter of the pipe, for the length of the distance between the line and the toilet wall. At the end of the slot, a semicircle is formed to go around the pipe. Such a slot allows the panel to be “put on” the pipe so that its distal edge reaches the wall surface. Their number on the panel depends on the number of highways.

The assembly of the frame when using beams is provided by metal corners. If an aluminum profile is joined, then special self-tapping screws for metal are used. Assembled construction checked for verticality of the racks using a plumb line and horizontal panels using a building level.

The frame of the cabinet is installed in the selected place, focusing on the markings. Frame posts are fixed to the wall dowels with a step of no more than 30 cm... For this, before installation, the corresponding holes are made in the wall using a punch.

Important... If the walls of the bathroom do not have perfect verticality, then a gap is formed between the rack and the wall surface. A gasket should be placed in it, which provides a more rigid fastening of the frame.

Shelves

Cabinet shelves are most often made from Chipboard, water-resistant plywood 15 mm thick or boards.

Before installation, slots for pipes are made in them according to the above method. Cuts are made at the corners to bend around the vertical racks of the frame.

To install the shelves between the frame racks, cross-members from a wooden bar or aluminum profile are fixed on the wall according to the markings.

The ends of the shelves lie on these crossbars and are fastened with self-tapping screws.

Doors

The highest requirements are imposed on the doors of the toilet cabinet, because it is they who create a certain appearance. The following methods of making them stand out:

When fixing the door leaves, it is important to ensure their symmetry and strictly vertical arrangement. There should be no gap between them.

Important... Opening should be easy, but with the exception of self-opening.

Decorating

The final stage in the manufacture of the locker is to give it an attractive appearance.

It is enough to cover wooden doors with waterproof varnish in several layers. Fits good alkyd urethane varnish.

Before varnishing, you can provide tinting with stains or special formulationsemphasizing the structure. Particleboard and drywall will have to be covered primerand then paint in the desired color.

Advice... The plastic itself provides the decor, and therefore it just needs to be matched by color.

Accessories play an important role. To ensure that the doors are kept closed, magnetic elements are installed. To give decorative view the shelves are assisted by a U-shaped aluminum or chrome-plated profile, which is fixed on the front edge.

Door handles should not only be comfortable, but also beautiful. Their assortment is huge, and therefore it is necessary to choose taking into account the overall design (in color, size and shape). Finally, you can use plastic moldings that can give any surface an attractive look. In addition, it is advisable to cover the edges of the doors with decorative strips of plastic or metal. If you need to fix the closed doors, you can install the latches of your favorite type.

Conclusion

A locker in the toilet will help you take something small spacewhich is still unused. Its placement behind the toilet at the level of the cistern allows you to solve the problem of storing the necessary things without creating inconvenience. You can make this simple furniture with your own hands, taking into account the characteristics of the room.

In contact with

In panel apartment buildings, with a ready-made plumbing cabin, divided into a bath and a bathroom, riser engineering communications, as well as a water supply to the apartment, are located in the toilet behind the toilet. During construction, they are closed with an ugly cabinet with a door, which are often changed to decorative cabinets. One of the options for this decorative cabinet, covering the riser engineering communications and the water supply to the apartment, can be a cabinet made of plasterboard. If in the last article they built a gypsum cardboard cabinet in the bathroom, here's how to make a cabinet in the toilet behind the toilet from gypsum cardboard.

Working conditions

We have a toilet in panel house, about 800 mm wide. Behind the installed toilet, a wardrobe is made with a door made of chipboard, painted or pasted over with PVC film.

The task is to replace the existing, unsightly cabinet, with a cabinet in the toilet behind the gypsum board toilet with a hatch door, to access engineering communications... The hatch door is planned to be faced ceramic tiles along with the walls in the toilet.

Measurements

For the correct purchase of materials, even before dismantling work, the following measurements must be taken:

• The width of the toilet from wall to wall, in the place where the cabinet is installed;
• Height of the toilet from floor to ceiling;
• The height of the upper part of the toilet bowl, taking into account the height of the finished floor.

Drawing

Let's draw the future wardrobe on a piece of paper. In the figure, we indicate the hatch door. The bottom of the hatch should not be lower than the height of the barrel to be able to open it. If the barrel is planned with a vertical drainage mechanism, with a lever, the height of the drain handle must be taken into account.

Note: the dimensions of the hatch door are standard and can be viewed on any seller's website.

Together with the drawing of the cabinet, we will draw a diagram of the frame. The frame of the sanitary cabinet between the toilet walls is not complicated. Vertical posts against the walls and in the places where the hatch is installed. Horizontal struts on the ceiling and floor, as well as reinforcing struts at the bottom and top of the hatch installation. Around the hatch to be installed, a kind of frame of profiles for drywall should form, and the profiles themselves need to be strengthened wooden beams, to be able to fix the hatch door.

Materials

For these works, we need the following materials:

• Guide profile (PN);
• Wooden bar for strengthening the profile at the hatch installation site;
• Drywall moisture resistant in the area of \u200b\u200bthe cabinet 12 mm thick. To strengthen the structure, you can use two layers of drywall 10 mm thick;
• Self-tapping screws for gypsum board, self-tapping screws, dowels and screws as needed;
• Dichtungsband type sealing tape.

Tools

For these works, we need the following tool:

• Electric drill (or hammer drill);
• Scissors for metal or "grinder" for profile cutting;
• Assembly knife for cutting drywall;
• The ruler is metal;
• Construction level;
• A set of screwdrivers or screwdriver.

Do-it-yourself closet in the toilet behind the gypsum cardboard toilet: Stages of work

Work stages include:

• Removing the toilet;
• Dismantling the old cabinet;
• Leveling the floor in the area of \u200b\u200bthe cabinet (if required);
• Installation of the frame with the strengthening of the racks with a bar;
• Sheathing of the frame with plasterboard;
• Installation of a hatch door;
• Sealing drywall seams, preparing for tiling.

Stages of work execution

Remove the toilet

Having previously turned off the water supply and draining water from the barrel, the old toilet must be dismantled. It will interfere with work.

Dismantling the old cabinet

With a crowbar, an ax and a nail puller, old wardrobe need to be disassembled. The walls must be free of all structures.

class \u003d "eliadunit"\u003e

Leveling the floor around the cabinet

If necessary, the floor in the area where the new cabinet will be installed must be leveled. Debris must be removed, and the floor must be leveled with a leveler, it is semi-dry and will not leak to neighbors. The leveling agent (semi-dry screed) dries for 3 days.

Markup

The layout of the cabinet consists in drawing the profile fixing line on the walls, floor and ceiling. Marking lines must be strictly vertical.

Fixing profiles (frame construction)

The frame made of profiles is mounted in accordance with all the rules for installing plasterboard structures. Profiles are fixed to walls, floor, ceiling with dowels and screws or dowel-nails. The profiles are connected with self-tapping bugs or a cutter. The reinforcement bar is inserted into the profiles and fixed with wood screws. If the hatch is large and heavy, the vertical bars are best spaced from ceiling to floor.

Important! Between profiles and structures must be laid sealing tape Dichtungsband. The tape is glued to the outer flange of the profile.

Installation of the hatch

Conclusion or Conclusions

The closet in the toilet behind the gypsum cardboard toilet is tiled along with the walls.

To connect plumbing fixtures to the water supply network, a flexible water pipe is used. It is in demand when connecting mixers, showers, toilets and other points of water intake, and greatly simplifies the installation process. Flexible hose is also used when installing gas equipment. It differs from similar devices for water in manufacturing technology and special safety requirements.

Characteristics and types

Flexible hose for connecting plumbing is a hose of different lengths made of non-toxic synthetic rubber. Due to the elasticity and softness of the material, it easily takes the desired position and allows installation in hard-to-reach places... To protect the flexible hose, there is an upper reinforcing layer in the form of a braid, which is made of the following materials:

• Aluminum. Such models can withstand no more than +80 ° C and remain functional for 3 years. At high humidity, the aluminum braid is prone to rust.
• Of stainless steel. Thanks to such a reinforcing layer, the service life of the flexible water line is at least 10 years, and the maximum temperature of the transported medium is +95 ° C.
• Nylon. This braid is used for the manufacture of reinforced models that withstand temperatures up to +110 ° C and are designed for intensive use for 15 years.

As fasteners, nut-nut and nut-union pairs are used, which are made of brass or stainless steel. Devices with different allowable temperatures differ in the color of the braid. Blue are used to connect to a pipeline with cold waterand the red ones are hot.

When choosing an eyeliner for water, you need to pay attention to its elasticity, reliability of fasteners and purpose. It is also mandatory to have a certificate that excludes the release of toxic components by rubber during operation.

Features of gas connections

When connected gas stoves, speakers and other types of equipment also use flexible hoses. Unlike models for water, they have yellow and are not tested for environmental safety. End steel or aluminum reinforcement is used for fixation. There are the following types of devices for connecting gas appliances:

• pVC hoses reinforced with polyester thread;
• made of synthetic rubber with stainless steel braid;
• bellows, made in the form of a corrugated stainless steel tube.

Drainage - irrigation and drainage measures to remove excess groundwater.

If water does not leave the territory of the site for a long time, the soil becomes gleyed, if the shrubs and trees quickly disappear (soak), it is necessary to urgently take measures and drain the site.

Reasons for waterlogging

There are several reasons for waterlogging:

• clayey heavy soil structure with poor water permeability;
• the aquiclude in the form of gray-green and red-brown clays is located close to the surface;
• high occurrence of groundwater;
• man-made factors (construction of roads, pipelines, various objects) that impede natural drainage;
• violation of the water balance by the construction of irrigation systems;
• the landscape plot is located in a lowland, a ravine, a hollow. In this case, precipitation and water inflow from higher places play an important role.

What is the risk of excess moisture in the soil

You can see the results of this phenomenon yourself - trees and shrubs die. Why is this happening?

• the content of oxygen in the soil decreases and the content of carbon dioxide increases, which leads to a violation of the processes of air exchange, water regime and nutrition in the soil;
• oxygen starvation of the root-forming layer occurs, which leads to the death of plant roots;
• the intake of macro and microelements by plants (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc.) is disturbed, because excess water washes away mobile forms of elements from the soil, and they become inaccessible for assimilation;
• there is an intense breakdown of proteins and, accordingly, putrefaction processes are activated.

Take a closer look at the flora of your site. The species inhabiting it will tell you at what depth the groundwater layers are located:

• top water - in this place it is best to dig a reservoir;
• at a depth of up to 0.5 m - marigold, horsetails, varieties of sedges - vesicular, holly, fox, Langsdorf reed grass grow;
• at a depth of 0.5 m to 1 m - meadowsweet, canary grass,;
• from 1 m to 1.5 m - favorable conditions for meadow fescue, bluegrass, mouse peas, ranks;
• from 1.5 m - wheatgrass, clover, wormwood, plantain.

What is important to know when planning the drainage of the site

Each plant group has its own moisture needs:

• at a depth of groundwater from 0.5 to 1 m can grow by high beds one-year vegetables and flowers;
• the depth of the water layer up to 1.5 m is well tolerated vegetable crops, cereals, annuals and perennials (flowers), decorative and fruit and berry shrubs, trees on a dwarf rootstock;
• if the groundwater is at a depth of more than 2 m, fruit trees can be grown;
• optimum depth of groundwater for agriculture - from 3.5 m.

Do you need drainage of the site

Write down your observations at least for a while. You yourself can understand how much drainage is needed.

Maybe it makes sense to just redirect melt and sedimentary water along a bypass channel, rather than letting them flow through your site?

Perhaps it is necessary to design and equip a storm drain and improve the composition of the soil and this will be enough?

Or is it worth doing drainage system only for fruit and ornamental trees?

The exact answer will be given to you by a specialist, whom we strongly recommend to call. But after reading this article, you will gain some awareness of this issue.

At the end of the technological and production tasks related to the arrangement of the sewer system in apartment building, an industrial building, as well as in a private household, it is required to test the involved system by the forced spill method. This task was applied to identify possible defects or improper installation of the entire sewer part involved, and the test report for internal sewage systems and gutters will be material evidence of the acceptance of the facility.

Visual inspection should be accompanied by the introduction into the certificate of testing of internal sewage systems and gutters according to SNIP, which is currently represented by the current regulations of the series "D" application, which corresponds to SP 73.13330.2012 "Internal sanitary-technical systems of a building", recently a new one has been applied updated working edition for SNiP 3.05.01-85.
