For most people, decoration is a relatively unfamiliar thing, especially in the construction process, they know that they must go to the supervisor to keep an eye on the site when necessary, but they may not know what details to pay attention to. If you don't do your homework in advance, you won't be able to see why it's on site 24 hours a day.
In this guide, as a person who has come over, I have summarized for you 15 time points and 44 key details that you must pay attention to when you go to the site for home improvement, and tell you which construction details to pay attention to. If your home is about to be renovated, then this article recommends that you keep it away and avoid pitfalls:
1. Keep an eye on demolition and reform
It seems that the simple and crude demolition and smashing of the wall actually pays a lot of attention behind it, among them, it is important to pay attention to the following three details:
(1) Make a plan in advance, keep an eye on the master and don't smash the wrong place, if there is a design drawing, follow the drawing, if there is no design drawing, you must draw clearly on the wall in advance which place to be demolished, you can't just rely on your mouth to say that the master may not be able to understand, and finally smash the wall that should not be smashed will be very troublesome, if you smash the load-bearing wall, a building will be scrapped.
(2) To use the cutting method to dismantle, to draw the demolition line first, and then use the cutting machine to cut along the line and then dismantle, and not to use a sledgehammer to make brute force to smash, this kind of violent demolition will smash the entire wall, affect the later load-bearing, and even leave hidden dangers.
(3) Before demolition and reform, the sewer pipe should be protected, and the nozzle should be blocked with a towel, or a special protective cover can be bought to avoid stones and various garbage falling into it when smashing the wall, resulting in the blockage of the drainage pipe in the later stage.
2. Keep an eye on the material approach
No matter what materials enter the decoration site, the owner should try to be present for acceptance to avoid buying shoddy materials and burying hidden dangers for the entire home decoration. Specifically, focus on the following two details:
(1) Check the quantity. Carefully check the quantity of materials, especially some small auxiliary materials, must be counted clearly before signing, to avoid the later use of the insufficient quantity, then the merchant will not admit it.
(2) Pay attention to the specifications. It is necessary to check whether the brand, model, specification and size of the material are selected by yourself at that time. Some decoration companies will bury routines, and it only writes the brand in the contract, but in fact, it uses big brands and low-end goods, and it is not worth spending such a high amount of money to buy.
3. Keep an eye on the balcony and seal the windows
The broken bridge aluminum window is a typical "three-point product, seven-point installation" project, and whether the master installs it according to the specifications will directly affect the performance and safety of the window. Pay attention to the following three details when staring at the scene:
(1) The installation platform of the window frame must be leveled with cement mortar in advance, and the styrofoam should not be used to fill the joint after the window frame is installed, which will cause the window frame to be not firm.
(2) Keep an eye on the master and do not hit the screws on the heat insulation strip, otherwise it will affect the sound insulation, heat insulation and waterproof effect of the window.
(3) Before installing the glass, three waterproofs should be done on the outer edge of the window frame, and the water baffle must be glued, so as to avoid rainwater penetration to the greatest extent.
4. Stare circuit transformation
Circuit renovation is a hidden project in the decoration, and it is also necessary to do a good job in the content of on-site supervision, and you need to pay special attention to the following four details when staring at the circuit transformation:
(1) Do a good job of disclosure before transformation. Don't think that you already have a design drawing, in fact, the design drawing often only marks the location of the socket, lamp position, and switch, but there is no constraint on how to walk from the electrical box to these positions, if you don't ask the electrician master, he may be how convenient how to come, and finally leave you with a bunch of trouble.
(2) Pay attention to the direction of the slotting. The master is required to use the level to locate first, and then elastic the line to determine the direction of the slotting, and the slotting should be horizontal and vertical.
(3) Pay attention to the slotting specification. Try not to open the transverse groove on the load-bearing wall, and try not to exceed 30 cm in the transverse groove of the non-load-bearing wall, which is one of the specifications for hydropower transformation.
(4) Pay attention to the wiring specification. Circuit wiring is most prone to the problem of cutting corners, and there are many details that need to be paid attention to, among which the important thing is that the strong and weak wires can not go to the same tube, and at least 30 cm of space should be left between the strong and weak electric tubes.
5. Renovation of water pipes
Like the electrical renovation, the renovation of water pipes is also related to the convenience of life and home safety after moving in, and it is also a hidden project, which must be supervised on site. Focus on the following three details:
(1) The left hot and the right cold should be observed. Whether it is a kitchen or a bathroom, the installation of hot and cold water pipes must follow the principle of hot at the top and cold at the bottom, hot on the left and cold on the right.
(2) Pay attention to power on and down. When hydropower goes to the top, it is common to encounter the problem of staggered water pipes and wires, at this time, the water pipe is below and the electric pipe is on the top, which is also a specification that must be observed.
(3) The waterway pressure test cannot be saved. After the construction of the waterway is completed, it is necessary to do a good pressure test, otherwise it will be quite troublesome to find that the water pipe is leaking after moving in. In addition, it is recommended to find a water pipe business to do the pressure test, so that the hydropower master himself will get through the trick.
6. Keep an eye on waterproof
It's really important to do a good job of waterproofing your home, imagine how much trouble it will be if you move in only to find that your bathroom is leaking and soaking your downstairs neighbor's house! Pay attention to the following four points when supervising work:
(1) Toilets, balconies and kitchens all need to be waterproofed, of which the waterproof height of the bathroom shower area is 1.8 meters, and the other dry areas, balconies and kitchens are 50 cm.
(2) Before brushing waterproofing, the wall and ground must be thoroughly cleaned, the loose ones should be repaired, all the dust should be cleaned, and the water should not leak at the position where the downspout and the ground are handed over.
(3) Waterproof to "the wall is rigid and soft", at least horizontal and vertical cross brush 2 times, each layer must be thoroughly dried before the second layer can be brushed.
(4) The closed water test cannot be saved. Even if the pre-construction is standardized, after doing a good job of waterproofing, you must do a closed water experiment, soak in water for 48 hours, and then go to the neighbor's house next door and downstairs to check to ensure that there is no water seepage, so that it is qualified for waterproofing.
7. Keep an eye on the backfill
No matter how well you do it in the early stage, once the backfill is not standardized, it will be in vain. Specifically, focus on two details:
(1) Do not backfill with construction slag. It is necessary to prevent workers from backfilling with construction waste, which is easy to puncture the waterproof layer and lead to water leakage.
(2) The water pipe should be at the bottom. Before backfilling, the bottom of the water pipe must be fixed and padded firmly to avoid rupture and leakage caused by pressure on the pipe during the backfill.
8. Staring at the ground leveling
Don't think that you only need to do ground leveling when laying solid wood floors, and if you make large bricks and thin stickers at home, you also need to do ground leveling. Pay attention to three details:
(1) Pay attention to the ratio of cement mortar, it is easy to crack if there is more cement, and it is easy to return to the sand if there is less.
(2) During the acceptance, the flatness is checked with a two-meter ruler, and the height difference of less than three millimeters on the ruler is regarded as acceptable.
(3) It is recommended to brush a layer of ground solid on the ground before laying the floor, which can avoid the problem of returning sand to the cement mortar layer.
9. Keep an eye on the ceiling
Ceiling construction is also more detail-oriented, some friends did not do a good job of supervising the ceiling when decorating, the problem of the new house can not be expressed, and the trouble will come after a few years of occupancy. Specifically, we focus on three details:
(1) Pay attention to the number of main keels and secondary keels, which is the foundation of the ceiling stability, and the spacing of the main keel should be less than 60 cm to ensure that the whole is firm.
(2) The gypsum board at the corner of the ceiling can not be spliced with a straight board, but the whole board should be cut at a right angle to connect to avoid the cracking of the gypsum board at the corner position in the later stage.
(3) Therefore, remember to apply anti-rust paint before scraping putty with screw caps, although anti-rust screws are used, but the electric drill will destroy the anti-rust coating during construction, and the rust of the nut in the later stage will cause the latex paint to be polluted and yellow.
10. Keep an eye on the tile paving
Paving tiles is definitely a key project in home decoration, and it is also the owner no matter how busy he is, he should try to find time to supervise the content, because the quality of tile paving directly affects the overall effect of home decoration. Focus on the following three points for tile paving:
(1) To produce a tile layout drawing, do the whole house paving. The layout is the mantra of the bricklayer master, if there is no restriction on the layout drawing, the bricklayer master will play freely, how convenient how to come, and finally the whole house brick joints are messy, or cause a waste of tiles, anyway, it is the owner who pays the bill.
(2) Pay attention to the right materials. Friends who choose a large brick on the wall must pay attention to the fact that the material used is tile adhesive and do not buy it as tile adhesive, the effect of the word difference is very different, but don't use the wrong material.
(3) Tell the master to use sufficient accessories to avoid hollowing tiles. At the same time, pay attention to the flatness of the tiles at any time, check the slope of the tiles of the bathroom and balcony, do a good job of acceptance after paving, and rectify the problems in time, otherwise you will not come back as soon as the master leaves.
11. Stare at the beauty of the seam
Tile seam seems to be a trivial matter, in fact, it has a great impact on the paving effect of ceramic tiles, once the seam is not done, you can not buy high-grade tiles can not do the ideal effect. In particular, the tile joints in the kitchen and bathroom must be done well to ensure that water does not seep into the tile base. Specifically, pay attention to three details:
(1) Choose the right materials. It is recommended to use epoxy colored sand for matte bricks and soft bricks in the living room, and polyurea for bright bricks; Use polyurea for kitchen and bathroom budgets, and use beauty sewing agents for tight budgets, rather than epoxy colored sand.
(2) Pay attention to seam cleaning. When laying tiles, it is necessary to remind the bricklayer master to clean the joints, and clean the brick joints when the cement mortar is not dry, otherwise it will be difficult to clean out after drying. Clean it again with a vacuum cleaner before the seam, and the brick seam can be clean to ensure that the seam is firm.
(3) Be sure to be realistic. Meisew is most afraid of false beating, resulting in cracking and falling off in the later stage, so we must keep an eye on the master to lay solid and firm, and don't try to cut corners quickly.
12. 盯腻子
Putty is the foundation for latex paint or other wall decoration materials, and the quality of putty scraping has a decisive impact on the overall effect of latex paint wall. Scraping putty should pay attention to the following four details:
(1) Do not add glue to the putty. A certain proportion of qualified putty can be used with water, and some masters will add glue or glue powder to facilitate their own smooth scraping, but the formaldehyde in the glue will continue to volatilize for more than ten years after moving in.
(2) Clean the wall before scraping putty. The big white left by the developer should be thoroughly cleaned up, and then the wall should be cleaned and dusted, and the putty should be scraped the next day.
(3) Grinding and smoothing. The hardest and most troublesome part of the master to scrape the putty is not to polish and flatten, usually to scrape 4~5mm as the foundation, and then highlight the bulb obliquely on the wall to check the flatness and then repeatedly polish, and finally use the scraper to trim the surface until it is smooth.
(4) Do a good job of acceptance. Check with a two-meter ruler to see the gap between the ruler and the wall, and no more than 2 mm is qualified.
13. Staring latex paint
Compared with scraping putty, brushing latex paint is not too particular, provided that the putty link must be done well. There are two details to pay attention to at the scene of painting latex paint:
(1) Pay attention to add water in strict accordance with the proportion of the manual, if it is a dark latex paint, it is not recommended to add water, otherwise it will reduce its hiding power.
(2) The number of times you pay attention. Under normal circumstances, the latex paint should be brushed three times, once the primer, twice the topcoat, do not open the window after brushing, and let it dry naturally for two to three days.
14. Staring cabinet installation
To make the ideal effect of the whole house custom cabinet, the quality of the plate and hardware only accounts for three points, and the installation in place accounts for seven points. Therefore, the owner must be present in person when the cabinet is installed, focusing on the following three links:
(1) Accept the plate and hardware before installation. Some merchants will have different materials when signing the contract and when they arrive, focusing on whether the brand, model and specifications are consistent with the contract.
(2) Look at the integrity of the plate. Including whether there are bumps, scratches, cracks and other problems, and pay attention to check whether the edge banding is consistent with the previous agreement.
(3) Pay attention to the specifications of installation. The doors should be installed on the same side, the top and bottom should be flush, and the drawer slides should be smooth.
15. Keep an eye on the wasteland cleaning
After the completion of the hard installation, it is time to do the cleaning of the wasteland, however, there are many pits in the seemingly unskilled cleaning of the wasteland. In particular, we remind everyone to pay attention to the following two details:
(1) Keep an eye on the workers and beware of the brainless use of steel wool balls and oxalic acid. Many people have stepped on the pit in this link, and many workers only want to save their own effort, and directly take the steel wool ball shovel everywhere, and the result is that the countertop and cabinet are scratched everywhere, which is irreparable.
(2) Pay attention to various hidden locations. The most easily missed details, such as the air conditioning outlet, the inside of the ceiling, under the cabinets, under the stove, the door and window track grooves and the inside of the floor drain, should remind the workers and masters to clean them one by one.
Well, the 15 processes and 44 details that the decoration supervisor should pay attention to have been summarized! If you think it's useful, like it and collect it! Do you have any other questions or adds? Let's continue to communicate in the comment area!
