Second-hand house decoration, kitchen renovation strategies, what are they?
Most renovated second-hand houses have been lived in for three to five years or even more than ten years. Whether there are problems with the decoration quality of the old houses or whether they have been overhauled are issues that need to be clarified before decoration. In addition to some In addition to inspecting and making judgments about missing hidden projects, special attention should be paid to some seemingly new parts, such as newly painted walls or roofs, which may be to cover up cracks in the walls of the house or water seepage in the ceiling. When encountering similar situations, new homeowners should Pay extra attention.
1. Aging water pipes must be replaced. The original water pipes in second-hand houses often have many unreasonable layouts. During renovation, the original water pipes must be thoroughly inspected to see if they are rusted and aged. . If the original pipelines use obsolete galvanized pipes, they must be replaced with copper pipes, aluminum-plastic composite pipes or PP-R pipes during construction. For example, before renovating a bathroom, you should first block the floor drain and put about 5 centimeters of water into it for testing. If there is water leakage, the waterproofing work must be redone. At the same time, it should be noted that no dead ends can be left after construction.
2. The circuit must be modified. Second-hand houses commonly have simple circuit distribution, aging wires, illegal wiring, etc. They can no longer meet the electricity needs of modern families, so they must be completely renovated and rewired during renovation. If it is found that the original wiring uses aluminum wires, all of them must be replaced with copper wires with a cross-section of 2.5 square millimeters. For lines for installing high-power electrical appliances such as air conditioners, a separate line with a cross-section of 4 square millimeters should be set up, and PVC insulated wire conduits must be used when burying the lines. In addition, the new national standard stipulates that the number of fixed sockets in residential buildings should not be less than 12. However, there are still many second-hand houses with original sockets that do not meet this standard. If a large number of mobile sockets are used, the current load will When the size increases, the mobile socket will generate abnormally high temperatures due to poor contact, posing hidden dangers for electric shocks and electrical fire accidents
3. Dismantle the "hidden project" and start again. Current quality issues in home decoration , a large part of it is caused by improper construction of "hidden projects". What is a "hidden project"? During the construction process sequence, after the work of the previous process is completed, the parts that are covered by the next process and cannot be inspected are called "hidden projects". Therefore, when decorating second-hand houses, special attention should be paid to "hidden projects". For example, whether the pipes, lines, and equipment of various facilities such as water supply, air conditioning, and ventilation in the ceiling have been tested for airtightness and electrical insulation and resistance, whether the connections are firm, whether the joint practices meet the requirements, and whether the flammable materials have been fireproofed. Fire treatment, etc. all fall into the scope of "hidden projects" and cannot be inspected after the first installation. Industry insiders suggest that when renovating an old house, reopening these parts is a good opportunity to eliminate hidden dangers. Owners must strictly inspect and remove the "hidden projects" left over from the past.
Four and three "surface" renovations are essential. During renovation, the renovation of the walls, floors, and ceilings of second-hand houses are the most easily overlooked. Experts suggest that it is best to ask professionals to conduct on-site inspections of the houses. Survey to see if there are obvious cracks, whether it is flat, whether there is peeling off and sand. If these conditions exist, repairs must be carried out, including removing oil stains on the wall, powdered wall paint, etc., and repairing the base, cracks, and holes with cement mortar. Then you can choose diatom mud with strong plasticity and excellent environmental protection functions for wall decoration. Diatom mud can be positioned according to the overall atmosphere and style of the home to provide users with satisfactory colors and patterns. It can also use its own unique functions to create an oxygenated and healthy home environment with suitable humidity for users after they move in. During construction, attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the air on site, dust protection, and ensuring that there are no debris on the tools.
5. Carefully consider updating doors and windows. Aging doors and windows is also a prominent problem in second-hand houses. However, if the material is strong and you like the style, generally speaking, you can just repaint it to make it look new. But if there is If the following problems occur, they must be dismantled and redone. The main problem depends on whether the wooden doors and windows are peeling or deformed. If so, it means that the characteristics of the wood itself have changed, and they must be replaced with new ones.
In addition, the paint film on the surface of steel doors and windows peels off, and the main body is rusted or cracked. In addition to being unsafe, it is also difficult to restore them to their original state. In order not to affect the use effect, experts suggest that they should also be dismantled and redone.
6. When removing old tiles and re-laying them, you should also pay attention to three points: 1. When smashing wall tiles and floor tiles, avoid debris blocking the sewer; 2. Take care of waterproofing and use as few elbows as possible in waterways. , to avoid sluggish water flow or blockage; 3. Use as little wooden boards as possible. Most wood products contain formaldehyde, which affects health. In addition, wood will deform due to moisture in the weather, and the cost of handcrafting wood products is also high. 7. Second-hand houses must be thoroughly disinfected. There is an important step that is essential when decorating second-hand houses, and that is thorough disinfection. You can spray with 3% Lysol, 1-3% bleach water or 3% peracetic acid solution. Close the doors and windows for 1 hour after spraying.
