Toilet Partition Moving Tutorial

The method for moving toilet partitions should be selected based on the drainage system, spatial design, and functional requirements. Here is a detailed tutorial and some precautions:

I. Adjusting Partitions by Moving the Toilet

To completely separate the dry and wet areas, the toilet can be relocated to an independent area, but the construction plan should be chosen according to the drainage system:

• Inter-floor Drainage: The pipes are located in the ceiling of the floor below. Relocation requires negotiation with the occupants below. For short distances (5-7.5cm), a PVC sealing ring relocator can be used; for long distances (150-180cm), the pipes need to be rearranged or construction should be negotiated to avoid damaging the floor structure.
• Same-floor Drainage: The pipes are beneath the floor of the current level, allowing for flexible route planning. After relocation, a slope of 1%-3% should be created to ensure smooth drainage and prevent blockages.
  Precautions:
• Choose a toilet with strong flushing power to avoid insufficient flushing after relocation.
• The joints of the relocator should be sealed with PVC glue to prevent leakage.
• Avoid pouring debris (such as toilet paper and hair) into the toilet during daily use to reduce the risk of blockages.

II. Partition Methods by Moving the Sink Outside the Bathroom

Move the sink outside the bathroom and divide the functional areas with partitions. Common methods include:

• Brick Wall Partition: Built with light steel keels and cement boards, the thickness can be controlled (about 10-15cm), suitable for bathrooms with slightly larger spaces. During construction, water pipes should be pre-embedded, the walls should be coated with waterproof paint up to 1.5m high, and the floor should be tiled.
• Screen Partition: Made of long-虹 (ribbed) glass, hollow metal, or wooden materials, it balances lighting and privacy. The glass should be tempered, and the edges should be ground to prevent scratches.
• Cabinet Partition: Install a cabinet on the side of the sink to enhance storage capacity. The cabinet should be waterproofed, and a water baffle should be installed on the countertop to prevent water stains from overflowing.

III. Other Partition Moving Methods

• Barn Door Partition: Installed between the toilet and the sink, the track should be fixed to a load-bearing wall or light steel keels. The walls in the wet area should be coated with waterproof paint to prevent moisture from eroding the door.
• Half-wall Partition: Building a half-wall (about 1.2-1.5m high) provides good sealing but may affect lighting. Strong lights or ceiling lighting should be used to avoid a dim space.
• Glass Sliding Door: Saves space and is suitable for small bathrooms. The track should be installed firmly, and the door should be made of explosion-proof glass. Avoid hitting it with hard objects during daily use.

Tip: Before moving partitions, confirm the drainage system (inter-floor/same-floor) and plan the water and electricity lines in advance. If structural modifications (such as removing walls or rearranging pipes) are involved, it is advisable to consult professional construction personnel to ensure construction safety and compliance.
