decoration is a technical job, and there are too many things to pay attention to. If you don’t pay attention, you will fall into the decoration “pit”. Therefore, before decorating, you need to look at other people's cases to gain experience and lessons from them to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
The first time I was decorating, I was a standard newbie. The second time I decorating, I gained a lot of growth based on the first time. Now, my family has renovated 4 houses, and most of the decoration pits have been filled by me, so I can call them "old drivers".
As a experienced person, today I will share with you some decoration experience: when decorating, don’t be stingy in these 7 links of items, remember to buy good things and not bad ones.
1, switch socket
decoration related links, because it involves electricity safety, no one can be careless. For example, switches and sockets should be selected as good as possible.
Select switches and sockets, mainly depending on the panel, materials, and the security of the wrong ones. The most important thing is to choose a 3C certified panel and try to choose imported PC materials. High temperature resistant, fire resistant, and not easy to age. The socket should be selected as an integrated tinlin bronze shrapnel, which has a longer service life.
In fact, the prices of miscellaneous switch sockets and brand switch sockets are not much different, but there is a big gap in safety and durability.
Note: It is best to choose a socket in the kitchen with a switch. The power is directly cut off through the switch and there is no need to unplug the plug frequently. The bathroom socket should be equipped with a splash-proof box, which is safer to use.
2, waterproof
When the first decoration was made, the wall was not given attention to the waterproofing project, resulting in moisture and alkali reflux on the wall, and even moldy on the wall.
Waterproofing is a hidden project, and repairing it will be a very troublesome thing if there is any problem. Therefore, when decorating, you must choose the best waterproof coating and try to choose a big brand. The quality and environmental protection are reassuring.
After brushing the waterproof coating, you need to do a 24-hour water-closing test, check it once every one or two hours, and the water level is recommended to be about 5cm.
Note: The waterproofing of the shower area in must be at least 1.8 meters high. If the dry area is separated by dry wet and dry areas, the height of at least 1.2 meters must be at least 1.2 meters high. For the kitchen and balcony, it is recommended to reach a height of 30cm.
3, toilet
"eat, drink, pull, and scatter", this is what people have to do every day, and half of it needs to be solved in the toilet. The toilet is one of the most frequently used things at home. If the toilet is not selected well, there are many bad things. Try to buy a better toilet with
as much as possible, because most of the cheap toilets are made of porcelain powder , and the glaze is easy to fall off. There will be bad situations such as hanging stains, difficulty in cleaning, reverse smell, and blockage.
Once the toilet is installed, it will be very troublesome to replace and repair later. Therefore, at the beginning, try to choose a better quality, which can save a lot of unnecessary trouble in the later stage.
Note: Ordinary households generally choose siphon toilet , which is low noise and water-saving. If you are worried about not flushing clean, choose a jet siphon toilet, which has good sewage discharge effect.
4, glass glue
glass glue is a very inconspicuous small material, but it can play a considerable role. The toilet, bathroom cabinet, , sink, kitchen sink, door frames, windows, skirting boards, , many places need it to paste. When decorating
, some workers will bring their own glass glue, which has poor quality. Not only does it have a pungent smell, but it is also prone to mold and blackness.
glass glue is best to buy by yourself, choose good quality, durable, and environmentally friendly. Although good quality glass glue may also become moldy and black, it will never appear in the short term.
Note: Glass glue for kitchen and bathrooms, it is best to choose waterproof and mildew-proof neutral glue, which has no smell and is not easy to get moldy. For balcony window sealing, it is best to choose weather-resistant structural glue , rain-proof and waterproof, high temperature resistant and aging-resistant. Door frames, window frames, etc., choose syrup, which has great thermal insulation, thermal insulation and sealing.
5, sink
, kitchen sink, it is best to choose 304 steel. However, the cheap sink is basically not the real 304 steel. The workmanship is not fine and may be sunken if bumped. After one or two years, corrosion, rust and other conditions are prone to occur.
If you choose a bad sink, you need to replace it with a new one after another for one or two years. It is not only a hassle, but also a lot of money you saved before.
304 stainless steel sink, you must be sure of the SUS logo, especially the sink with a brushed surface, which has better quality and more wear resistance.
Note: If the sink space is not very large, it is recommended to install a large single tank, which is more convenient to brush the pot.
6, range hood
In our country, most families are cooking habits of stir-frying, so the oil fume will be heavier. Therefore, range hoods have become the standard kitchen for every household.
wants to create a clean, tidy and healthy kitchen environment, which has a very direct relationship with the range hood. There is no need to buy high-end brands with serious premium premiums for range hoods, but don’t choose inferior products that cost hundreds of dollars. If the quality of the
range hood is too poor, not only will the smoking rate be low, but the noise is also very loud. Various small problems are emerging one after another, and the maintenance cost is also not low.
range hood is not the more expensive the better. It mainly depends on the core parameters such as air volume, air pressure, grease separation rate, and noise. It is enough to choose a brand of mid-range products for range hoods. Choose practical ones, not expensive ones.
Note: If you like stir-frying at home, it is recommended to choose a top range hood. If you don’t have the habit of stir-frying, it is recommended to choose a side range hood. If the frequency of use is not high, installing the integrated stove is more convenient and trouble-free.
7, refrigerator
refrigerator is a must-have appliance for every household, but the more expensive the refrigerator, the better. For example, a refrigerator with smart screens and smart programs was added. After these fancy functions were added, the price of the refrigerator has more than doubled.
functions seem to be very high-end, but they are actually not useful at all. Buying this type of refrigerator is a kind of "IQ tax" for ordinary families.
It is not recommended to choose a cheap refrigerator because it has a small capacity, is easy to smell, frost, consumes a lot of power, and is easy to damage.
Note: Choose a practical refrigerator, try to have large capacity, multi-circulation cooling, air cooling, frequency conversion . This way the refrigerator saves electricity, does not frost, does not smell, and has good freshness.
