Before the renovation, many owners were busy running the decoration company to consult the quotation, configuration, process, construction details and so on. These need to be compared by the owner, after all, decoration is a major event about our living experience in the next ten years.
When we are ready to start construction, especially the renovation of old houses, the first thing to pay attention to is the demolition, and the protection project must be done well before demolition, otherwise the non-standard operation is likely to destroy the house and affect the future occupancy.
Follow these 6 steps to basically rest assured.
Say it on the front:
Conservation works are a series of protective measures taken to protect the housing infrastructure and public areas to avoid damage caused by construction and ensure future use.
In addition to basic protection, special protective covers should be customized for irregular shapes such as door and window handles and gas meters, and every detail should be closely covered.
The pre-decoration protection project should be done according to these 6 steps
1. Do a good job in elevator and floor protection
Elevators and floors are protected with a custom protective film to ensure that the coverage is tight, flat and not missed. The protection here is in place, not only to facilitate the decoration of your own home, but also to make that neighbor more good.
Decoration is by no means a matter of sweeping the snow in front of the door, but a matter that is convenient for others and convenient for yourself.
2. The entrance door is protected in place
The protection of the entrance door also needs to be covered with a protective film, which is mainly for the original entrance door to be retained, which needs to be covered with a protective film after cleaning, and pasted tightly with non-marking tape, so that there is no need to worry about leaving the adhesive.
Note that the doorknob should be protected with a special handle bag.
3. Exterior windows should also be protected
If the windows are not replaced, they should also be protected. In general, windows are covered with a special protective film and pasted along the window frame with adhesive tape.
Of course, the window handles are also protected by a special handle bag.
4. Protection of equipment and facilities such as water, electricity, gas meters, etc
It mainly includes two aspects, the first is to use a special protective cover to protect water meters and gas meters, and the second is to use protective film to protect access control intercom, distribution box doors and weak current boxes.
These basic facilities and equipment are protected in place to avoid damage to pits, that is, to avoid re-spending money to configure new ones.
5. Pay attention to the sewer pipe blocking protection
In order to prevent the blockage of the sewer pipe caused by the fall of construction slag, the protection project should be covered with a customized protective cover during decoration, and the cover should be ensured firmly.
6. Protect the sewer pipe and do a good job of noise reduction
If you want to say that the most important part of the protection project before renovation may be the sewer pipe. Be sure to wrap the sewer pipe with soundproof cotton, and make sure that the seams are tight, the winding is even, and there is no leakage.
Because, with sound reduction protection, you can effectively isolate the flushing noise. The focus here is to check for any leaks in the curves.
Although most of them are the work of the workers, it is always more reassuring for us owners to check more.
Little Love Reminder:
It is necessary to ensure that the heating and pipes that need to be dismantled and repaired have been removed by contacting the supplier to ensure normal construction.
The protection construction we mentioned above is mainly for the protection before decoration. There are many places that need to be protected in the follow-up, for example, we may install the central air conditioning first, and the air outlet of the central air conditioning also needs to be protected. There are also sunny corner protection, floor drain protection, wall protection and so on.
That is to say, different stages of the protection project have different priorities, we must inspect the decoration site more, tell the workers more, it is best to find a reliable and worry-free decoration company before the decoration to consult, can write all the details into the contract better, after all, it is more secure on paper.
