The first time I saw a wise man building a laundry pool on the balcony, I began to be laughed at and followed suit.

Now that the house price is very high, we are struggling not only to buy a house, but also to decorate it. In addition to the rising wages of decoration workers, even decoration materials are becoming more and more expensive. Therefore, many owners and friends began to find ways to decorate themselves, including the laundry pool on the balcony, and some people would build their own bricks. Let's have a look.

1. Why build a laundry pool on the balcony?

When there is no laundry pool, I can only squat in the toilet to wash clothes. After squatting for a long time, my back hurts. With the washing pool, the mood of washing clothes is much better, and the posture can be very comfortable without hurting the spine. So even if every household has bought a washing machine now, some things that can't be washed by machine, such as some special fabrics, such as underwear, still need to be washed by hand. At this time, the washing pool is very important, otherwise washing these things on the bathroom floor will take up space and it will be very troublesome for others to take a bath.

The small pool on the balcony is not big and the height is not high, which is less than half that of the washing machine. But it is said to be connected with the drainage of the washing machine. So every time the water discharged from the back of the washing machine is collected in this pool. As long as you mop the floor, wash the floor and wash the carpet simultaneously, these wastewater can be reused, which is not only environmentally friendly, but also saves a lot of water bills.

However, my friend said that the role of this small pool goes far beyond this.

First of all, it can be used as a mop pool, which saves the mop bucket when mopping the floor. Just put the mop in the pool and mop the floor with water. The advantage of doing this is labor-saving. You don't have to carry the mop bucket from the living room to the room, but you can also carry it from the room to the kitchen and balcony, which is a great benefit for housewives.

Second, you can clean clothes and articles that the washing machine can't clean. You know, not all clothes can be washed in the washing machine. With this small pool, when it comes to washing clothes, there is no place to start. So many friends will build such a swimming pool higher or add a washboard or even form a three-in-one design. And some similar mops, carpets and so on. You can also clean it directly here, which is quite convenient and conducive to the cleaning of the balcony and home.

Third, it is also conducive to cultivating children's health habits. Because this pool is relatively short, children who haven't studied can touch it, and they can cultivate the habit of washing their hands and themselves, and then develop good behaviors of loving cleanliness and hygiene.

Of course, many people think that the laundry pool is too ugly, which affects the appearance. Actually, not necessarily. There are many shapes to choose from in the laundry pool. As long as we are careful when looking for a master to install it, we can pile up a beautiful laundry pool and even add another kind of beauty to our home.

Second, the balcony brick laundry pool practice

1, which defines the size of the balcony brick laundry pool.

The average household size is 500mm high, 400mm long and 200mm wide. Of course, this is only common, and the specific size should be designed according to the size of the balcony. If it is made in the store, the countertop is usually 1200 * 600. Now it is generally customized, so it is customized according to the balcony at home. If the size and height of the balcony laundry pool are unreasonable, it will have a great impact on the later use, so everyone must choose a balcony laundry pool with reasonable size and height.

The balcony sink is designed according to the balcony position! Make a cabinet with a washbasin above and a door below, but only detergent and other things that are not afraid of moisture can be put. And at least the inside of the cabinet should be moisture-proof or use moisture-proof materials.

2, balcony brick laundry pool construction method

There are two main ways to build a brick laundry pool. In the first way, the frame and countertop are made of bricks, then light steel keel is laid on the brick surface, cement mortar is plastered on the keel, and then ceramic tiles are pasted. The second is to use angle steel as structural frame, add cement pressure plate on it, and then paste tiles.

Step 3 make a desktop

It is necessary to reduce the amount of bricks and save space. Cement can be directly used as the countertop instead of brick as the supporting column. If the steel bar is directly driven into the wall, the horizontal and vertical steel bars are woven into a net with lead wire and poured with cement slurry to make the countertop.

4, increase the storage function

If you want to turn the laundry pool into a cement bathroom cabinet, you can build a column with bricks and make a shelf in the cabinet with tiles.

5. Tile laying

Tiles can be laid obliquely on the cement sink, or they can be combined with tiles of different specifications and colors. This will have a better decorative effect.

6. Install the countertop of the laundry pool

After the washing pool is installed, connect the water pipes and check whether there is water leakage.

To sum up, we can see that building a laundry pool on the balcony has many benefits. It is necessary for us to make full use of balcony space, not only to dry clothes, but also to let everyone learn to build their own laundry pool, which will help you save money and make your own laundry pool more durable.
