Should the floor or ceiling be done first when decorating a home?
1. Analysis based on different spaces
The home is composed of different spaces, but the construction must be unified. Currently, there are two types of decorative materials for paving the floor, one is ceramic tiles The other is wooden flooring. If ceramic tiles are to be used on the floor of the whole house, the designer recommends that after the water and electricity in the whole house are completed, the floor should be paved first, and then the carpentry ceiling should be considered. If different decorative materials are used for the floors in different spaces, different decorative materials can be used for different floors. For space construction, for example, consider laying ceramic tiles on the floor of the living room, dining room, and corridor and then laying the ceiling. If you want to lay wooden flooring on the bedroom floor, carpentry should first be used to suspend the ceiling and then lay the wooden floor.
Consider ceramic tiles for the floor of the whole house: lay the floor first and then suspend the ceiling
After the water and electricity construction is completed, start making appointments for the tiler to come in and carry out waterproofing treatment for the bathroom and balcony space. If there is one in the kitchen at home, If there is a floor drain, you can also do a waterproofing test. The waterproofing and 48-hour closed water tests are completed by the master bricklayer. After completion, we need to conduct a certain acceptance of the waterproofing and closed water tests. If there are any irregularities during the inspection process If qualified, a second waterproof and closed water test should be carried out until no leakage occurs; secondly, start paving the wall tiles in the kitchen, bathroom and balcony, and after the paving is completed, start laying out the floor tiles in the whole house. When the overall paving construction begins, except for the anti-slip requirements for the bathroom floor tiles, other spaces can be completely consistent.
Consider wooden flooring on the bedroom floor: suspend the ceiling first and then lay the floor
If you consider laying the wooden floor on the bedroom floor, you can first suspend the ceiling and then consider laying the bedroom floor, because the bedroom floor Before laying the wooden floor, it is necessary to level the bedroom floor. The laying of the wooden floor is relatively simple, but the flatness of the bedroom floor must be ensured in the early stage to effectively prevent the wooden floor from warping and voids. drum phenomenon.

What are the advantages of laying the floor first and then suspending the ceiling?
①Shorten the construction period
Paving the floor first and then lifting the ceiling will advance the construction period. After paving the floor first, we will make an appointment for custom-made cabinets for the whole house in a day or two. The designer comes to measure the dimensions of bedroom wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, balcony washing machine cabinets, entrance cabinets, TV cabinets, dining room sideboards, and the dimensions of wooden doors. After accurately measuring the dimensions, we proceed with the carpentry process. The on-site construction will not delay the construction, so it seems that only carpentry is being done on site, but in fact other projects are also progressing continuously, so that the later construction progress will not be delayed.
②Keep the height of the house from being depressing
The floor paving needs to be prepared in a certain proportion according to the cement mortar. The thickness of the ceramic tiles on the market remains the same, and the whole floor floats. The height should be between 4cm and 5cm. If the ground construction is completed later and you feel that the height of the house is relatively depressing, you can simply shape the ceiling first. In short, you should start from the height of the house so that you will not feel depressing.
③Maintain uniformity in different spaces
If we carry out ceiling construction on the guest dining room and corridor in the early stage, then the kitchen, bathroom and balcony ceilings will lack uniformity accordingly, even if If we reluctantly carry out the construction of the suspended ceiling, the wall tiles in the kitchen, bathroom and balcony space will not be properly grasped from the laying height, which will eventually lead to the lack of coordination in the height of the entire space.
When decorating a new house, it is very important for everyone to understand the construction process in the early stage. The designer recommends that after the water and electricity are completed, do not hesitate to ask the bricklayer to come to the door and start the construction of wall tiles and floor tiles. If If some owners are worried that the woodwork ceiling will have a certain impact on the paved floor, the designer recommends using a protective film to protect the ground after the floor paving is completed. This not only protects the tiles on the floor, but also improves the overall construction quality. The sequence becomes more fluid.
