More and more families are choosing concealed products, which used to be a less common installation method. In the past two years, more and more people have been fond of minimalist style, choosing to install concealed showerheads and faucets. Not only do they look simple and atmospheric, occupying less space, but they also have no dead corners when cleaning.
At what stage of decoration should concealed showerheads be installed?
Concealed showerheads and faucets need to be considered during the design phase. Shortly after the start of construction, pipelines need to be buried during the water and electricity phase. Therefore, I suggest that everyone choose their desired concealed showerheads before starting work to avoid neglecting and delaying the construction period. When installing a showerhead, the first thing to confirm is the installation position of the showerhead. Once the position is set, it cannot be moved because the water pipe and valve core need to be pre embedded. The shower room usually has a width of at least 90CM, so that the shower can turn around more freely. If the size is too small, it will be cramped. Secondly, the height between the mixing valves and the ground is generally adjusted according to one's height within the range of 90CM-100CM. The installation position of the top spray should also consider the way the glass door of one's shower room is opened. Sliding doors will not affect the top spray, and if it is an inner sliding door, it is also necessary to consider whether the door will hit the top spray. There are still many details to consider. Before installation, you can simulate the bathing height and door opening method in the bathroom to ensure accurate positioning and avoid rework caused by incorrect positioning in the later stage.
What are the advantages of concealed products compared to surface mounted ones?
Compared to the top spray that is fixed and matched well with the surface mounted showerhead, the concealed installation is more inclusive in selecting showerheads and provides a better shower experience, from pre embedding of concealed showerhead pipes and sizes in the early stage to final product installation and acceptance. The concealed showerhead does not need to be fixed in one position, and can be installed on walls, ceilings, and other locations according to everyone's installation preferences and habits. The pipes are all inside the wall, and no matter how they are arranged, it will not affect the appearance outside the wall.
3. Is it necessary to smash the wall for repair if the concealed showerhead is broken?
The main difference between exposed and concealed showerheads is whether the mixing valve is inside or outside the wall, the concealed valve core is inside the wall, and the hot and cold water pipes, whether exposed or concealed, are inside the wall. Therefore, if it is a problem with the water pipes, there is no difference in maintenance methods between exposed and concealed showerheads. If it is simply a problem with the concealed core component valve core, choose one with warranty. Once there is a problem, you can ask a professional technician to come and disassemble, inspect and replace it. In addition to installing concealed showerheads and faucets, we can also consider wall mounted toilets to free up more space and make cleaning more convenient. There's no need to worry about drainage and load-bearing, it's perfectly fine. The only thing to note is that the water tank for the wall flush toilet needs to be pre installed, which should also be pre embedded during the water and electricity stage.
