Toilet use clay pebbles/ leca backfill steps

Toilets backfill clay pebbles/ leca is a special building material, which is widely used in toilets and places where water is frequently used. 

Bathrooms backfill clay pebbles/ leca has many excellent properties.

First of all, in terms of its weight, it is much lighter than the commonly used construction waste backfills materials. At the same time, it is much more convenient to use and will not cause any pollution or damage to the environment.

Secondly, even its water absorption and dirt absorption ability are also excellent, which virtually ensures the cleanliness of the bathroom environment. In fact, there are many friends around us who are curious when they first learned about the clay pebbles/ leca backfilling in the bathroom.

What are the steps for using clay pebbles/ leca in the backfilling of the bathroom?

First of all, in order to ensure that the water seepage from the upper layer of the waterproof layer will not spread to the surroundings, it is necessary to make waterproof coatings on both sides, both the upper and lower sides, and it must be connected with the wall. The height of the wall should be 40 meters higher than the upper edge of the caisson. cm or more.

Second, use concrete as a partition overhead, and divide the caisson into several 400×400 grids. Many people do not see the importance of such a load-bearing partition. In fact, this measure cannot be ignored. It can prevent the concrete above from falling Otherwise, it may cause the bathroom floor to sink, crack and leak after a few years.

Third, the next step is filling. Fill the moisture-proof ceramic particles into the grid, and don’t press it too tightly, because its function is not load-bearing but sound insulation and filling.

The fourth is to arrange a layer of 30 cm × 30 cm steel mesh composed of steel bars with a diameter of about 10 mm on the grid to ensure the firmness and uniform stress of the clay pebbles/ leca concrete layer.

Finally, the concrete layer is rammed, and the vibrating pump is added for construction, and the fine stone concrete with a thickness of 10 cm is leveled. This layer still needs to be made with a drain slope, and then waterproof materials are made twice, and it is done together with the wall. After it dries up, it needs to be brushed with plain grout to protect it.

In fact, the process of backfilling the bathroom floor with clay pebbles/ leca is not very complicated. As long as some key parts are done, the effect will be achieved. At the same time, clay pebbles/ leca is an environmentally friendly material that can be recycled and reused, and it can also play a role in environmental protection.

Except construction, other applications of clay aggregates?

The use of clay aggregates in the cushion can improve the thermal insulation, heat insulation, sound insulation and bearing capacity between floors; it can facilitate the layout and installation of pipelines in the ground. Used as a moisture-proof layer, it can also prevent the floor from regaining moisture and keep it dry. It is very beneficial to protect various wooden floors and plastic panels from deformation and fading, and to prevent moisture and water in the basement.

  1. Used for roof garden greening:

The use of clay aggregates in the roof garden can reduce the load of the floor, protect the soil from being lost with water, quickly dredge the accumulated water, and maintain the supply of soil moisture and fertilizer when it is hot and dry.

  1. For soilless cultivation/ hydroponics:

Ceramic materials are used in soilless cultivation/ hydroponics of potted flowers and gardening, which can not only retain water and fertilizer, keep the soil loose for a long time, prevent soil compaction, but also be clean, hygienic and beautiful.

  1. For sewage treatment:

clay aggregates can be used as a biological carrier in sewage treatment, and can filter impurities in sewage, and can absorb oil and harmful substances.

clay aggregates concrete has been widely used in various types of prefabricated and cast-in-place concrete projects in industrial and civil buildings (such as prestressed and non-prestressed, load-bearing structure or enclosure, heat insulation or impermeability, static load or dynamic loaded). clay aggregates can also be used in other building materials such as pipeline insulation, furnace insulation, cold insulation, sound insulation and sound absorption; it can also be used as soilless foundation bed materials and water filtration materials in agriculture and gardens.

The super adaptability of building materials clay aggregate

It has been a long time since the appearance of building material clay aggregate, and now its application is very extensive. It has been proved by decades of production practice at home and abroad that according to different resource conditions in various places, clay, shale, fly ash or other solid materials can be used respectively. Waste production of clay aggregate.

According to different uses and market needs, clay aggregate products with different bulk densities and particle sizes can be produced (ultra-light clay aggregate, clay aggregate for structural insulation, clay aggregate for structure), and clay aggregate for special purposes, such as high temperature resistant clay aggregate. Granules, acid-resistant clay aggregate and flower clay aggregate, etc.

Utilizing these excellent properties of clay aggregate, it can be widely used in building materials, horticulture, food and beverage, refractory and thermal insulation materials, chemical industry, petroleum and other departments. The application fields are becoming wider and wider, and are still expanding.

Advantages of using clay aggregates or ECA in the bathroom

Lightweight expanded clay aggregate

1. Clay aggregates or ECA is light in weight: the thickness of the bathroom with sunken design is generally 400mm-450mm; if the material is heavy, it will cause cracks in the floor, which is not good for waterproofing. The use of clay aggregates or ECA is to take full advantage of its light weight.

Clay aggregates or ECA has moisture absorption

2. clay aggregates or ECA has moisture absorption: There are micro-porous clay aggregates or ECA particles inside the clay aggregates or ECA, which can achieve the effect of moisture absorption, which is undoubtedly beneficial to the environment of the bathroom.
