Decoration process, novice introduction
I. Preliminary Design
In the preliminary design, one thing we have to do is to make a detailed measurement of our room, so that you can not only buy building materials accurately, but also avoid being hacked at the time of settlement.
The main contents of the measurement include:
1. Define the areas involved in the renovation process. Especially tile area, wall paint area, wallpaper area and floor area.
2. Define the size of the main wall. Especially it is necessary to design the wall size of furniture in the future.
Second, the main body of demolition and transformation
Entering the construction stage, the main body demolition and transformation is the first project, which mainly includes wall demolition, wall peeling, heating installation, plastic steel window replacement and so on. To put it bluntly, it is to set up the framework of the construction site first.
Third, hydropower transformation.
Between hydropower transformation and main body demolition, some novices may know that the first test of cabinets is needed. The so-called initial measurement of cabinets has no actual content, because the walls and floors have not been treated, and it is impossible for cabinet designers to give specific design dimensions, but only put forward some relevant suggestions on the positions of water inlets and lampblack machine sockets reserved by developers. Mainly includes:
1. See if the position of the lampblack machine socket will affect the installation of lampblack machine in the future.
2. See if the location of the water meter is appropriate.
3. See if the location of the water inlet is convenient for installing the sink in the future.
For the first measurement of cabinets, a slightly experienced novice can completely complete it by himself. After the waterway reconstruction is completed, it is best to waterproof the bathroom immediately. The kitchen generally doesn't need to be waterproof.
Some rookies always think that some main ingredients should be prepared before the renovation begins. What my master wants to say is that unless it is the main material needed for the main transformation, the entry time of main materials such as tiles and large core boards should be after the hydropower transformation. Because if the circuit transformation involves slotting on the ground, the tiles and large core boards are not properly placed, and it is very troublesome for workers to walk around.
Fourth, carpentry
Woodworking, bricklayer and painter are the "three brothers" in the construction process, and the basic order of appearance is: woodworking, bricklayer (bricklayer) and painter. The basic entry principle is that whoever is dirty will go first.
Verb (short for verb) Gaiwa
If the workers are busy, the foreman will usually ask the "second mason" to stick bricks before the "carpenter boss" ends. This is normal, because the two do not conflict.
The process of "stonemason's second child" operation also involves the installation of the following three links:
1. Installation of lintels and marble windowsills. The installation of the threshold can be completed together with the floor tile laying, or after the floor tile laying. Generally, after the window cover is completed, the marble installation union prepares glass glue and seals the marble and window cover with glass glue.
2. Install the floor drain. Floor drain is the first hardware in home decoration, because it should be installed with floor tiles. Therefore, novices should buy floor drains as soon as possible when they start visiting the building materials market.
3. Installation of range hood. The range hood is the first appearance of household appliances. After the kitchen walls and tiles are paved, you can consider installing a range hood.
When the "second mason" left, it was time to measure the cupboard for the second time. Accurately speaking, after the kitchen wall tiles are pasted and the range hood is installed, it is time to measure the cabinet for the second time.
Six, brush the wall paint
The "Third Oil Worker" enters the site, mainly completing the basic treatment of the wall surface, painting the top coat and brushing the furniture made by the "carpenter". Beginners who are ready to paste wallpaper only need to let the "third oil worker" do the basic treatment on the wall surface where wallpaper is planned to be pasted.
At this time, when the "eldest", "second" and "third" leave the scene one after another, many rookies will think that their decoration is over. In fact, if calculated by links, it is less than one third. Everyone has this feeling because it is generally understood that decoration is only the "construction link" of decoration, but in fact, the "installation link" of decoration is also the focus of decoration.
Seven, kitchen and bathroom ceiling
As an installation link, the kitchen and bathroom ceiling is still continuing the "packaging" of the home. At the same time as the ceiling of the kitchen and bathroom, the moisture-proof ceiling lamp and exhaust fan (Yuba) of the cabinet should have been bought. Beginners had better install the ceiling lamp and exhaust fan (Yuba) of the cabinet guard at the same time, otherwise, thread ends and holes should be left.
Eight, cabinet installation
After the ceiling is completed, you can make an appointment to install the cabinet at home. If it goes well, it can be finished in one day. At the same time, there are sinks (excluding water fittings) and gas stoves. It is best to coordinate the property to turn on the gas before the cabinet is installed, because the gas stove needs to be tested after installation.
Nine, wooden door installation
The second day after the cabinet was installed, the wooden door should have been measured more than a month ago, and it can be installed now. If it goes well, it will be a day. For hinges, locks, sinkholes and novices to be installed at the same time, relevant hardware should be prepared in advance.
Note: The production cycle of wooden doors is generally one month. Therefore, in order to make the construction period closely connected, let the wooden door manufacturer come to measure the size of the door opening as soon as possible after the main body is removed. Regarding the handling of doorways, we need to pay attention to one thing. If the height of the door at home is inconsistent, workers need to treat it as the same height to look good.
X. floor installation
The floor can be installed the day after the wooden door is installed. If all goes well, it will take a day. The floor installation needs to pay attention to the following issues:
1. Before the floor is installed, it is best to let the manufacturer visit to inspect whether the floor needs leveling or partial leveling.
2. Before the floor is installed, the floor at home should be cleaned to ensure that the floor is dry, so do not use water during the cleaning process.
XI。 Paving wallpaper
The day after the floor is installed, you can make an appointment to paste wallpaper when the home is cleaned up. If it goes well, it's also a day. If possible, the floor should be protected on the day of wallpaper pasting; It doesn't matter if there are no conditions, and it's no problem to leave the wallpaper glue left on the floor to Pioneer for cleaning. Before pasting the wallpaper, try to make the wall "nothing".
Twelve, switch socket installation
Thirteen. Lighting installation
Install the lights. There is nothing to say. After the lights were installed, the house lit up, and it felt good to bid farewell to the dazzling light of 100 watt incandescent bulbs during decoration.
Fourteen Hardware sanitary ware installation
Before buying pipe fittings, bathroom fittings, toilets, clothes hangers, etc. , are all installed.
After the "big things" in front are installed, the home is still very "cold". When the lamps and hardware are installed, the home will be "alive", really "alive". It is no exaggeration to say that it will be beautiful to turn on the tap for the first time and watch the water rushing; Convenient, the newly installed toilet at home for the first time will have a great sense of accomplishment. By the way, you can give it a good name: "Virgo".
Fifteen, curtain rod installation
The installation of curtain rod marks the basic end of home improvement.
Sixteen, entrepreneurial cleaning
Don't install curtains before cleaning. When cleaning, don't have furniture and unnecessary household appliances at home, leave as many "planes" as possible, so that the cleaning can be thorough.
Seventeen, furniture comes into play
The purchase time of furniture should be after the completion of hydropower transformation at the earliest, so as to get a general understanding of the basic size range of furniture. Some novices are eager to order all the furniture before decoration, which is unnecessary.
Eighteen, home appliances come into play
At this time, it's time for home appliances to enter the market. It's time to install and prepare to move in!
Nineteen. householdadornment/decoration/garnish
Home decoration is the last step of home improvement, and some decoration has become decoration, including the installation of curtains, which belong to furniture decoration. As for buying curtains, it is best to book furniture first to avoid style conflict.
Furniture accessories also include buying some green plants, hanging murals and decorating handicrafts. ............................................................................................................................................................., at this time, you have been promoted from a novice to a master decorator.
Tips for saving money: 9 decoration points that will definitely save you money.
Save money, key points, cheats
1. The display cabinet doesn't need to be a wallboard.
In order to save money, we can also consider wallboard. In addition to the role of moisture-proof, the nail wallboard of the cabinet also has the consideration of weighing. If there is no water seepage on the wall and no heavy objects are placed, there is no need to nail the wallboard of the cabinet. Showcases like the master bedroom are mainly for the owner to put personal collections and cosmetics, so the designer does not nail the wallboard, which is both economical and beautiful. Qingdao group purchase
To save money in the kitchen, we must start with kitchen utensils and tiles and consider the budget. Designers use domestic products. Originally, the table was made of pearl board, but because the owner wanted the artificial stone table and the budget was insufficient, the designer generously gave it to the artificial stone table. * Z) j，` 2 e4 m
3. Three-sided aluminum windows are the most economical.
There used to be an aluminum window on the balcony daughter's wall, but because it was too old, the designer removed the original aluminum window and replaced it with a new one. The most economical way to use aluminum windows is to use three-sided aluminum windows and 5mm thick tempered glass. If the lattice aluminum window is used, the price is high 1 times.
For the floor-to-ceiling door leading to the back balcony, the owner had hoped to make a lattice floor-to-ceiling aluminum door, but the budget was really insufficient, so the designer replaced it with lattice glass, with the same effect as the lattice floor-to-ceiling door, but the price was saved by more than 1.5.
5. As a partition of the dressing room
The dressing room is cheaper than the wardrobe, so the designer stole nearly 1 ping from the children's room (1 ping is equal to 3.3 square meters) and used wood as a splint to separate the dressing room. For the sake of beauty, the designer also specially dug holes in the wallboard for modeling.
6. The floor mat is used as a bedstead
When the bedroom needs at least 1 double bed or two single beds, the designer thinks that since it is to make a wooden floor, it is better to put the floor higher and put two single mattresses on the floor to save the cost of two single beds. Although it costs more to build a high floor, it is still cheaper than two bedsteads.
7. The cabinet is made of wood, which matches the system furniture door.
If you want to save money in decoration, you must think from wood. Generally speaking, the valuation method of wooden cabinets includes not only the price of cabinets and hardware accessories made by carpenters, but also the cost of door paint. In order to save money, the designer used a carpenter's nail as the barrel of the cabinet, and then used the door piece of the system cabinet, which not only saved the cost of painting the door piece, but also saved a lot of money because the price of the system cabinet was cheaper than that of the wooden cabinet.
8. The porch screen was replaced by a shoe cabinet.
In order not to let visitors see the living room at a glance, the host always hoped that the porch could be a porch screen. Considering the practicality and budget, the designer suggested using a shoe cabinet instead. Although the shoe cabinet is more expensive than the porch screen, it is more practical, and the most important thing is to save the cost of the porch screen.
I like the smooth texture of marble, and the owner always hopes that the floor of the living room can be covered with marble. But because marble does not contain buildings, lightweight materials are very expensive and the budget is not allowed. The designer suggested using 60×60 polished quartz bricks instead, which of course saved a lot of money.
