Can anyone tell me what are the precautions for home decoration?

Notes on home decoration:

(1) Preliminary design

It is also construction. The difference between humans and bees is that the construction of bees is a reflection of instinct. Before people build, they first form ideas and frameworks in their minds. Therefore, if home decoration is compared to a battle, then the early design of home decoration is the "battle plan" of this battle and the "soul link" of home decoration. In the early design, one thing that must be done is to conduct a detailed measurement of the room, which mainly includes:

1. Clarify the area involved in the decoration process. Especially the tile area, wall paint area, wallpaper area, and floor area;

2. Clarify the main wall dimensions. Especially in the future, you need to design the wall dimensions for placing furniture. Also be careful not to forget to go to the property management company to go through the construction procedures and pay the renovation deposit before starting the construction.

(2) Main body demolition and renovation

Entering the construction stage, the main body demolition and renovation is the first project, which mainly includes wall demolition, wall building, wall skin shoveling, and heating removal. , replace plastic steel windows, etc. To put it bluntly, the main body disassembly is to put up the framework of the construction site first.

(3) Hydropower transformation

Before the water and electricity transformation, the main structure dismantling and modification should be basically completed. Between the two steps of water and electricity modification and main body disassembly and modification, the first measurement of the cabinet should also be carried out. In fact, the so-called first measurement of the cabinet does not have any actual content, because the walls and floors have not been processed, and the cabinet designer cannot give specific design dimensions, but only the water inlets and range hood sockets reserved by the developer. location and make some relevant suggestions. Mainly include: 1. Check whether the position of the range hood socket affects the future installation of the range hood;

2. Check whether the location of the water meter is appropriate;

3. Check the water outlet Is the location convenient for installing the sink later? For the first measurement of the cabinet, you can do it yourself with a little experience. After the waterway renovation is completed, it is best to make the bathroom waterproof immediately. Kitchens generally do not need to be waterproofed.

Unless it is the main material required for the main body disassembly and renovation, the entry time of main materials such as ceramic tiles and large core boards should be after the water and electricity renovation. Because if the circuit modification involves grooves on the ground, and if the ceramic tiles and large core boards are not stacked properly, it will be very troublesome for workers to move them around.

(4) Carpentry

Carpenters, bricklayers and oil workers are the "three brothers" in the construction process. The basic order of appearance is: wood - tile - oil. The basic rule of entry is - whoever gets dirty gets on first. "Who gets dirty first" is also one of the basic principles that determines the order of home decoration. In fact, carpentry work such as wrapping risers, making decorative ceilings, and plastering lines can also be considered as a detailed link in the main body disassembly and modification. It does not conflict with the renovation of water and electricity circuits. Sometimes it also requires some Cooperate. If you plan to build a false wall at home, you should consider whether there are water and electricity lines on the false wall. If so, you should ask the water and electricity renovation workers to embed the pipes in advance.

(5) Tiling

If the workers are busy, the foreman will usually let the "second tile bricklayer" come in before the "boss carpenter" has finished. Brick, this is normal, because there is no conflict between the two. The process of the "second bricklayer" operation also involves the installation of the following three links:

1. The installation of door stones and marble window sills. The installation of the door stone can be completed together with the floor tiles, or after the floor tiles are laid. The marble window sill is usually installed after the window casing is completed. The marble installation worker will prepare glass glue and seal the marble and window casing with glass glue. .

2. Installation of floor drain. The floor drain is the first to appear among home decoration hardware, because it must be installed together with the floor tiles. Therefore, when you start shopping for building materials, you should buy a floor drain as soon as possible.

3. Installation of range hood. The range hood is the first home appliance to appear. After the kitchen wall and floor tiles are laid, you can consider installing the range hood. After the "second bricklayer" leaves the scene, you can make an appointment for the second measurement of the cabinets. To be precise, after the kitchen wall and floor tiles are pasted and the range hood is installed, you can make an appointment for the second measurement of the cabinets.

(6) Painting the wall

The "third oil worker" enters the scene and mainly completes the base treatment of the wall, paints the surface, and paints the furniture for the "carpenter boss" Paint work etc. Students who plan to put up wallpaper only need to ask "Oiler Lao San" to do the base treatment on the wall where they plan to put up wallpaper.

As for whether to leave the last coat of topcoat on, I personally feel that this question does not need to be taken too seriously. Judging from my experience in decorating, leaving one coat of topcoat is not very meaningful, because the subsequent operations are not as dirty as painting. .

(7) Kitchen and bathroom ceilings

As the first step in the installation process, cabinet ceilings continue to "package" the home. While installing the ceiling in the kitchen and bathroom, the moisture-proof ceiling lamp and exhaust fan (bath heater) for the kitchen and bathroom should have been purchased. It is best for students to install the kitchen and bathroom ceiling lights and exhaust fans (bath heaters) at the same time, or leave threads and openings open. By the way, we must adhere to the "decoration outsourcing theory", even if the foreman promises that the workers will do the water and electricity renovation in a standardized manner, the aluminum gussets will be installed in a regular manner, the wooden doors will be strong, the wallpaper will be professionally applied, and the cabinets will be built How to make it practical? In fact, all the decoration team can do is carpentry, tiling and painting.

We must believe in professional construction, the installation level of the manufacturer, and the products of the assembly line. Most of them are slightly better than the workmanship of the decoration team workers. Decoration is like a game, where the bet is on the craftsmanship of the workers. Therefore, it is not safe to bet on "my workers are construction geniuses."

In fact, every aspect of decoration is very independent. Home decoration is just a small matter, and there is really no connection at all. During the home decoration process, you should try your best to play the so-called "connection role", accurately The key is to grasp the selection of materials, master some simple construction processes, handle the relationship with workers, etc.

Really speaking, there are problems due to "connection", such as who is responsible for the installation of sanitary ware, lamps, hardware and other aspects in the later stage. On the one hand, it depends on how you get along with the workers, and what happens in the end. No one is willing to "control" you; on the other hand, when it comes to saying that no one "controls" you, it is still the same sentence - "Since God invented money, there has been no problem that cannot be solved."

In decoration, quality always comes first, which is the main contradiction and the general principle. There are problems in some links due to "connection", which is a secondary contradiction. While you are prepared to make concessions on major contradictions and general principles because of secondary contradictions, you still need to be cautious.

(8) Kitchen cabinet installation

After the ceiling installation is completed, you can make an appointment for door-to-door installation of the cabinets. If all goes well, it can be completed in one day. Also installed at the same time are the sink (which does not need to include water supply and drainage parts) and the gas stove. Before installing the cabinets, it is best to coordinate with the property management to vent the gas, because the gas stove needs to be tested after it is installed. Speaking of suspended ceilings above, there is a question worth discussing. Many kitchen and bathroom suspended ceilings choose waterproof gypsum board with waterproof paint. The decoration team's quotation is generally more than 120 yuan per square meter, which is more expensive than ordinary aluminum gusset panels and PVC gusset panel ceilings. The gypsum board ceiling looks relatively smooth visually, but if there is a problem with the water pipe on the top in the future, or if there is water leakage upstairs and the downstairs needs to cooperate with repairs, etc., the gypsum board ceiling will have to be dismantled as a whole, which is much more troublesome than the gusset ceiling. Therefore, everyone needs to be careful when choosing a gypsum board ceiling.

(9) Wooden door installation

On the second day of cabinet installation, after the measurement of the wooden door was completed more than a month ago, it is now possible to make an appointment for installation. If everything goes well, it will only take one day. When installing the door, you will need to install the hinges, door locks, and floor absorbers at the same time. Relevant hardware should be prepared in advance. If you want the wooden door manufacturer to install window casings and openings, you should also measure them when the wooden door manufacturer measures them, and install them at the same time on the day when the wooden doors are installed. At the same time, you should consider moving the installation time of the marble window sill backwards and prior to the installation of the window casings. after.

Remarks: The production cycle of wooden doors is generally one month. Therefore, in order to keep the construction period closely connected, the wooden door manufacturer must come to measure the door opening dimensions as soon as possible after the main body is dismantled and modified. Regarding the processing of door openings, you need to pay attention to one thing. If the height of the door openings in your home is inconsistent, workers need to process them to the same height - which looks good.

(10) Floor installation

The floor can be installed on the second day after the wooden door is installed. If everything goes well, it will only take one day. You need to pay attention to the following issues when installing the floor:

1. Before installing the floor, it is best to ask the manufacturer to come and survey whether the ground needs to be leveled or partially leveled. Some decoration companies or renovation teams will recommend ground leveling or partial leveling. Leveling shall be subject to the actual survey by the flooring manufacturer;

2. Before installing the floor, the floor of the home must be cleaned to ensure that the ground is dry, so do not use water during the cleaning process.

3. When installing the floor, if possible, the floor must be cut in the corridor. Some people think that cutting the floor in the corridor pollutes the public area is unethical. In fact, it doesn’t matter if you clean it up after you’re done. Cutting the floor indoors will seriously pollute the wall, and cutting the artificial stone countertops of cabinets is similar.

(11) Laying the wallpaper

On the second day after the floor installation, once the house is clean, you can make an appointment to lay the wallpaper. If everything goes well, it will also take one day. . If possible, the floor should be protected on the day the wallpaper is laid; if not, it doesn't matter. It's okay to leave the wallpaper glue left on the floor to Tuohuang Cleaning. Before laying wallpaper, try to keep "nothing on the wall" as much as possible.

Hope this can help you
