Bathroom Wall Waterproofing
Just as the bathroom floor is crucial for waterproofing, bathroom walls also fall in the same category. These vertical pillars are moisture-prone, especially when the water table rises in the ground. To protect them, a strong coat of paint is essential.
Let’s discuss the process in detail:
- Clean the Area
The cleaning process is finalized with different tools, such as mops, liquid solvents, bleach, scrubbers, and more. Ensure that all water deposits are removed.
- Dry the Surface
Once the walls are cleaned thoroughly, let them dry. Ensure that the edges and corners are also clear from dust and particulates.
- Sand the Walls
Generally, bathroom surfaces are smooth and tiled. However, to apply a new coat, the area needs to be roughened. Sand the surface with a 400-grit sandpaper. Or, start with a rugged one (120-grit) and increase the level up to a smooth one.
- Clear the Surface
After the sanding process, the dust or paint particles have to be removed from the walls. A soft cloth is used to keep away scratches, whereas a wet cloth helps in clearing the surface.
- Tape the Wall Surrounding
Tape the areas for better protection. Lay a plastic sheet at the bottom of the wall for over dripping or spillage.
- Ventilate the Area
Grab some PPEs (gloves and mask). Open the windows, turn on the fan, and let the air pass through. This action will help in keeping the odor problem under control.
- Apply the Paint
Follow the instructions and apply the new paint. To coat another layer, experts wait for the surface to get dry.
- Dry the Surface
Ensure that the bathroom is set off limits for individuals. The surface should be dried completely.
