germanybrilliant.com - Recommendations For The Right Floor Drain According To The Association Of HDII | In general, every house has a floor drain or also known as a afur floor. This small object is used to close and open drainage holes.
Floor drain have a number of very important functions for home sanitation, especially in bathrooms, gardens and garages. Some of its functions include filtering dirt, such as plastic and hair, so that it does not enter the drain which can cause puddles of water in the bathroom.
Rohadi Sumardi, Chair of the Indonesian Interior Designers Association (HDII) said that the thing you need to pay attention to when renovating or building a new house is the water flow of the house itself. For example, whether the water flows directly to the sewer or not.
"What we need to know is where does our water channel go? Does it go straight to the sewer or not? "Don't be mistaken, sometimes the opposite happens, it's not just the smell, but animals like mice and so on come in not because of the smell, but because there is light that they can see," said Rohadi.
For this reason, the floor drain used in the bathroom must be precise and tight, but still be able to drain water optimally. Apart from preventing small animals and insects, a floor drain with small gaps will help prevent unpleasant odors from rising to the surface of the bathroom.
"Like cockroaches, for example, they will give birth if there is warmth in the place, as a result, yes, the bathroom may become uncomfortable, smelly," he added.
Another important thing that you need to pay attention to when choosing a floor drain is the dimensions of the slope of the floor drain itself. Sometimes we think that a floor drain slope of just a few percent is enough, but apparently that is not appropriate for draining water into the sewer.
“The dimensions of the slope of the floor drain must also be considered. Because usually water flows from top to bottom. Sometimes we say ah, just a certain percentage is enough. Let's not put that aside because what we have to think about is how much water we use when bathing? So, proper slope is very important. "Sometimes that's what makes the floor drain not function properly," explained Rohadi.
There are many quality floor drains offered on the market with various types or price levels. Choose a quality floor drain with the best materials. Don't just choose cheap ones, but their functions won't work optimally. A good quality floor drain will last and save costs in the future, especially in maintenance.
"For a comfortable bathroom, a floor drain is important, it has to be right, don't just think about cheapness, but what we want is a proper and appropriate function," concluded Rohadi.
