Can it be decorated in dog days? Matters needing attention in dog days.
safety first
The high temperature and dry climate in summer are easy to cause fires. During interior decoration, a large number of wooden building materials such as indoor doors and floors will be piled up, so fire prevention in summer decoration is the top priority. During construction, flammable items such as wall paint and oil should be stored in a cool and ventilated place indoors, and they should not be stacked together to avoid accidents caused by poor air circulation.
The working area and material placement area should be reasonably divided to prevent live working from approaching construction materials. Paint and glue of wood products should not be placed on the balcony in direct sunlight, so as to avoid excessive sunlight and accelerate aging. If the position cannot be moved, please pay attention to shading.
Tip: Workers should be supervised to clean regularly at the construction site to remove combustible substances such as sawdust and paint scale. Try to avoid placing a large number of wood products indoors to avoid burning building materials when using power tools.
humidity insulation material
There are many showers in summer. In rainy season, the air humidity in summer is very high and humid. Some materials that easily absorb moisture, such as wood, wood board and gypsum board, are easily affected by moisture if they are not handled properly during transportation. After the moisture in the material is exerted, it is easy to crack and deform, and it will also affect other materials and affect the quality. It should be kept as dry as possible, away from water and windows.
When buying wood, you must go to a big wholesaler to buy it, so as to reduce the chance of wood getting wet. Hot flashes in summer will slowly dry after application. In this regard, you can turn on the air conditioner to dehumidify and pump away the moisture in the air. Keep furniture doors open and ventilated.
Tip: In summer, the moisture content in hot air is high, and some unqualified solid wood furniture will absorb water and expand, but in the process of expansion, people generally don't notice it from the appearance. When the weather is dry in autumn, it is easy to shrink and crack in different degrees. Therefore, if there is solid wood furniture at home, it is best to keep good ventilation and dehumidification in advance.
Tile soaking
Decoration will use tiles, while ordinary tiles are generally pasted with cement mortar. Because the materials are relatively dry in summer, it is necessary to extend the treatment time for materials that need to be soaked, such as ceramic tiles and floor tiles, so as to avoid the phenomenon that ceramic tiles are dry and absorb water from cement during bonding, resulting in weak bonding with cement, hollowing and falling off. If it is a thin paste method or tile adhesive, it does not need to be soaked in water. In particular, vitrified bricks must be laid with special adhesive to avoid falling off.
Tip: When laying bricks on the ground in rainy days, it is best to cover the cement surface with kraft paper or plastic cloth, and at the same time, stay away from the water source as far as possible to prevent it from getting wet or forming a block after soaking. However, the coated cement will still be affected by air humidity, which will slow down the setting speed. Therefore, after paving the floor tiles, don't step on them immediately, and set up a springboard to facilitate the passage.
The wallpaper dries naturally in the shade.
The weather is dry in summer, so the paint and wallpaper on the wall need to be laid at the grass-roots level to be dry enough. In the construction of wall or ground base, the method of multi-layer Bo Tu is adopted, and the drying time is extended and ventilation is done well after each layer of construction. If necessary, use an exhaust fan to increase the air flow. The best way is to let the wallpaper dry naturally in the shade.
Tip: When laying floor tiles, it is best to cover the cement surface with kraft paper or plastic cloth, and try to stay away from water.
The paint should be thoroughly dry.
In summer decoration, oil workers must not rush the construction period. During the construction process, putty scraping, painting and painted wooden furniture will be affected by hot flashes. After scraping putty on the wall, you must wait for the grassroots to dry thoroughly, then scrape it for the second time, and then scrape it layer by layer. If it is not completely dry, start painting, and the walls may bulge.
Professionals say that when the humidity is very high, try not to paint when making background walls or solid wood furniture. If the humidity in the air is high, it is urgent to spray clear oil on the furniture, and light fog may appear on the surface of the furniture, thus affecting the beauty of the furniture.
Tip: Don't choose to paint wood products on rainy days. Painting is not easy to dry in rainy days, which will affect the future effect, so you can do other work first in rainy days.
In fact, summer decoration also has certain benefits, such as high temperature, wall putty and latex paint will dry faster, which can shorten the interval between each painting. The most important thing is that people are most concerned about the pollution of harmful gases such as formaldehyde in decoration. At high temperature, harmful gases volatilize the fastest. If you want to tell whether there is formaldehyde residue or benzene exceeding the standard on the floor, furniture and paint, you can smell it with your nose and make a rough judgment.
