I found that many owners have learned to be smart now and understand that decoration must not only be good-looking, but also pay attention to functionality and practicality. They also learn to save money on decoration and reduce a lot of unnecessary investment.
For example, in some decoration materials and home appliances, they only need to use enough, there is no need to choose luxury clothing. In fact, it is true in the general direction. Ordinary home decoration is mainly simple and practical. It is important to cover your wallet and don’t pay IQ tax!
However, this issue of Xiaopai would like to remind everyone that some money cannot be saved during decoration. You will only know that the following 6 items are very necessary to invest!
1. Range hood
I have seen too many home bloggers "avoid pits". In their words, " range hood is a motor and shell, without any technical content . It is not recommended that you buy expensive ones. You can use the cheapest ones, and you can change them to new ones if they are dirty."
I would like to ask these home bloggers, does your conscience really hurt? Is this teaching people to "avoid pitfalls"? It's clearly asking people to "step pitfalls"!
Since it is a motor and shell, it has no technical content, how to achieve the air volume, air pressure, noise, and grease separation in , and how to ensure it?
Even if you don’t mind the smoke is not clean, you have to buy a reliable brand product to prevent it from exploding.
Xiaopai believes that you must buy a better kitchen range hood. There is no need to save money, and the effect is really different. Cheap range hood, cook alone, the whole family smells the smell. If it is fried with chili, the whole family will have to sneeze.
Smoking is not effective, forget it, the key is that the noise is also high, and the roar comes out as soon as the range hood is turned on. People who don’t cook don’t know that the noise really affects cooking.
So don’t buy range hoods casually. If you really want to save money, you must also choose one with an air exhaust volume of more than 18 cubic meters and an air pressure of more than 380pa. You must choose a reliable brand. This is the bottom line.
2. gas water heater
gas water heater is also a home appliance that does not need to save money.
Don’t say that it is just a hot water, there is no need to buy expensive ones. If you buy cheap models, you will find that although water is hot, the temperature is unstable; it can produce water, but the amount of water is not large.
And a good gas water heater is different. Using more advanced technology, the user experience is naturally different. Not only does it have dual-control technology for water vapor, but it also has a water volume server. To put it simply, it is precisely controlled in water temperature and water flow, achieving the effect of constant temperature and precise temperature control, while also ensuring water pressure.
In addition, in terms of safety, a good gas water heater can also achieve higher level of safety protection through ignition, fire extinguishing, overtemperature, anti-freezing and other aspects.
If you are willing to invest a little more, the high-end gas water heater also has functions such as thermal circulation, zero cold water, intelligent control, etc., giving you a more comfortable and convenient experience.
So don’t say that gas water heaters should not be expensive, this investment is very necessary.
3. Wooden floor
If there is no need to buy too expensive tiles, I can understand this. After all, I really can't think of the difference between more than one hundred tiles and forty or fifty tiles.
However, wooden floors are definitely not saved. It is better not to buy cheap wooden floors. formaldehyde problems are really serious, especially in cloudy and hot or humid weather, which tastes particularly heavy. Especially in those places where floor heating is placed, when the heating is turned on in winter and the doors and windows are closed, it is to shut yourself up and absorb formaldehyde.
On the other hand, poor flooring is troublesome, it is easy to get dirty and flowers, it is easy to crack and arch, and even when laying the floor, it can cause inconsistency.
suggests that everyone must choose the expensive ones to buy floors. Good flooring quality is more reliable and can withstand the test of time. When buying floors, you should choose multi-layer solid wood or pure solid wood flooring . The environmental protection level is ENF or F4 star.
4. putty powder
Many people say that latex paint does not need to be too expensive. This is true. For example, those high-priced paints that are clean and dehydrated, original imported paints or children's environmentally friendly paints that cost one or two thousand yuan. There is really no need to buy them. They are all gimmicks made by merchants, because today's consumers are "despised of aldehydes".
Buy latex paint and identify ten-ring certification , which is enough to ensure that formaldehyde meets the standards. But putty powder is different, so you must use good putty powder.
Never ignore putty powder if it is not important. When you encounter an unscrupulous decoration company or decoration worker, in order to make money and for the convenience of construction, you will give you a few dollars of inferior putty, and then add a lot of glue. The formaldehyde you have worked hard to control will exceed the standard.
putty powder must be selected as the finished water-resistant putty . This putty performance and environmental protection meet the standards, and the wall will not peel or even crack in the later stage.
5. pre-filter
Many people say that there is no need to buy a pre-filter, just install a water purifier. In my opinion, the installation of the pre-filter is very necessary and must not be saved.
pre-filter is the first coarse filtering device for whole house water. It can filter large particulate matter such as silt, rust, insect eggs, red insect in tap water.
Don’t think that tap water is not that dirty. The pipes are damaged and repaired. Any impurities may fall into the process. If you don’t believe it, you can go to the home of a friend who has installed a pre-filter to see if there are a lot of impurities filtered inside.
In our lives, we often find that the water from the faucet seems to have become smaller. When you turn on the faucet filter, you will find that it is blocked by mud and sand. Where does mud and sand come from? So how to avoid it? The answer is to install a pre-filter. The installation of
pre-filter is to effectively block rust, mud, and insects, and to protect the water-washing home products at home, such as water heaters, faucets, toilets, and can also effectively extend the service life of water purifier filter .
pre-filters do not have to be bought very well, but you can refer to the following purchasing points:
①The brand must be good and reliable, ②The pressure-bearing capacity must be large, ③The stainless steel filter material is better, ④The recoil effect should be selected, ⑤The operation should be simple
6. Glass glue
Glass glue must be taken seriously. Many people do not take glass glue seriously, and they are not prepared at all, just waiting to use the installation master’s own.
I don’t know if these people really don’t understand, or if they want to save money, the inferior glass glue that the master carries with them is very cheap. Not only does it contain formaldehyde, it is also particularly prone to black and moldy.
It is recommended that you buy anti-mold glass glue in advance, the price will be a little expensive, but there is really no need to save this money. 4 pieces of one kitchen and one bathroom, and 6 pieces of one kitchen and two bathrooms are actually not much money.
[Small expansion of dry goods knowledge]
If the glass glue on the edge of the toilet, the edge of the sink, and the edge of the kitchen countertop at home, there is moldy and blackness, don't take it lightly. these molds not only look bad and affect the beauty, but also cause harm to human health.
Recommend everyone to use [Mold Removal Gel] . The method of use is very simple. If there is a moldy place in the glass glue at home, we will squeeze the mold Removal Gel on it. We don’t even have to brush it. It only needs to stand for a few hours, and the mold will automatically decompose until it disappears.
was used before, and I took a special photo of the front and back comparison pictures, and the effect was still very obvious.
Mold Removal Gel also has antibacterial effects. Persistence in using it can inhibit the repeated growth of mold and prevent recurrence of mold.
At the same time, the ingredients in mold removal gel are very safe and environmentally friendly. Therefore, the rubber bands and strips in refrigerators and some tableware are moldy and can also be used with confidence.
[Written at the end] 6 items above
are all places that I think are worth investing in. Don’t ignore them, after all, they can bring a more comfortable experience in later use.
In addition to these, what else do you think is worth investing in the decoration? You might as well leave a comment in the comments~
