Installation of wall mounted bathroom vanity: key points of wall load-bearing
Publish Time: 2024-11-27
On the road of optimizing bathroom space and upgrading its beauty, wall mounted bathroom vanity is favored for its advantages of fashion, simplicity and space saving, and the cornerstone of its stable installation is to adapt to the wall load-bearing conditions.
Wall mounted bathroom vanity relies on the wall to support all the weight, so it has strict requirements on the wall's load-bearing capacity. Solid brick wall is an ideal choice. This type of wall has a compact structure and strong load-bearing capacity. It can bear more than 2,000 kilograms per square meter, which is enough to steadily bear the weight of conventional washbasins and daily storage. During installation, use expansion bolts to drill into the brick wall. The bolts penetrate more than 5 cm into the wall. With solid metal pendants, it can build a reliable point of force to ensure safe use.
Concrete wall is even more "powerful" and is widely used in modern buildings. Its load-bearing performance is excellent, with a load-bearing capacity of more than 3,000 kilograms per square meter. It is best to fix it with chemical anchor bolts after drilling. The agent fills the drilled gaps. After solidification, it is integrated with the reinforced concrete of the wall, firmly locking the pendant to cope with the downward pull and shaking when the washbasin is frequently used and heavy objects are placed.
However, common hollow brick walls, lightweight partition boards and other lightweight walls need to be treated with caution. Hollow bricks are hollow inside and have a loose structure. The load-bearing capacity is about 500-1000 kg per square meter, and it is difficult to carry the weight of the washbasin alone. When installing this type of wall, it is necessary to first detect the hollow position, avoid the hollow area, and embed a special reinforcement backboard, such as thick multi-layer plywood and metal reinforcement board, to expand the force-bearing area and disperse the weight; then use long bolts to penetrate the wall and fasten to the backboard to lay a solid foundation for the installation of the washbasin.
For the new light steel keel partition wall, although there is a light steel frame inside, the load-bearing limit is obvious. It needs to be precisely positioned at the keel, connected with the keel with special hanging parts, and supplemented with auxiliary supporting structures, such as adding angle steel and half-spoon-shaped load-bearing brackets, to strengthen the local load-bearing and meet the demand for the stability of the washbasin hanging. In short, the wall mounted bathroom vanity can "stay at its post" in the bathroom for a long time and serve daily life only if the load-bearing characteristics of the wall are clearly understood, the technique is performed according to the "wall", the accessories are selected, and the installation is meticulous.
