How to prevent moisture and mildew
If your home happens to be on the ground floor and is in close contact with the ground, and you don't plan to carry out large-scale renovation, then low-cost emergency measures provided by users may help you through the rainy season.
1. If your humid room happens to have air conditioning, you might as well use the air conditioner to dehumidify, that is, close the window to start the dehumidification function of the air conditioner, which can help you effectively solve the humidity problem in rainy days and protect household appliances that are afraid of humidity.
2. If your house is wet but well ventilated, make sure that the doors and windows are wide open when it is wet inside and closed when it is wet outside.
3. If only some corners of your house are particularly humid, you might as well put some quicklime mixed with sand as a desiccant in those corners.
If the wardrobe with moisture-proof layer is still wet, go to the supermarket to buy some desiccant and mothballs and put them in the wardrobe. But try not to put desiccant in clothes made of elastic fibers, because the smell of desiccant may make elastic fibers loose and deformed.
Engineers suggest that the owner choose a reputable decoration company for construction, and when signing a contract with it, it must be clear that the warranty period of hydropower projects should be slightly longer, usually around 5 years, so that the owner will have no worries.
Moisture-proof essentials: try to let the water pipe line pass through the top of the room, and don't install it on the ground, because the renovation cost of the bathroom floor is higher than that of the top.
There are many kinds of moisture-proof materials on the market.
According to different needs, there are many kinds of moisture-proof materials on the market.
Floor mat: it is a sandwich between the floor and the ground, generally spread between the roof and the floor, which mainly plays the role of moisture prevention, floor protection and flexibility. The reporter learned from the building materials market that some floor manufacturers will give away moisture-proof mats for free with the floor, while others need consumers to buy them themselves. Compared with other building materials, the price of moisture-proof mat is cheap, and the lowest price is only 1 yuan per square meter. However, the designer said that the quality of the damp-proof mat is directly related to the service life and effect of the floor, and consumers are advised not to save money on the damp-proof mat.
Waterproof mending agent: it can be used to repair small cracks on the ground of seepage wall and cracks between tiles. At present, there are many prostheses on the market that are convenient for family use, and some of them just need to be sprayed at the leakage gap like pesticides, which is very convenient to operate. If there is a small gap in the wall or floor of the house (especially in the bathroom), you might as well buy this waterproof mending agent and try it yourself. Moistureproof cream has a similar effect.
Moisture-proof gypsum board: Compared with ordinary gypsum board, it has a silicone oil component, which is mainly used for the bathroom ceiling with high air humidity. The reporter learned from Hangzhou New Times Decoration Plaza that it is almost enough to buy a damp-proof gypsum board of more than 20 yuan per square meter.
Waterproofing agent: it can be mixed in mortar and coated on the ground and wall foundation. It is mainly used for waterproofing and seepage prevention of bathroom, kitchen floor and wall during indoor decoration. There are many kinds of waterproofing agents in the building materials market, with prices ranging from 40 yuan to 300 yuan per barrel (about 10 square meter), and the quality is naturally uneven. Designers suggest choosing products with better brands.
Mould-proof and moisture-proof joint filler for ceramic tiles: It is used to fill the gaps between ceramic tiles, and its mould-proof and seepage-proof performance is much better than that of white cement used to fill the gaps between ceramic tiles before. The price of this sealant is not much more expensive than that of ordinary sealant. Twenty or thirty yuan can buy a big bag.
