(I) Preliminary design
The same construction, the difference between humans and bees is that the construction of bees is a reflection of instinct, and before building, people will first form ideas and frameworks in their minds. Therefore, if home improvement is compared to a battle, then the early design of home improvement is the "battle plan" of this battle, the "soul link" of home improvement.
In the early stage of the design, one of the things that friends must do is to conduct a detailed measurement of their room. Don't be lazy. It is best to measure it yourself. The main content of the measurement includes:
1. Clarify the area involved in the decoration process. Especially the tile area, wall paint area, wallpaper area, and floor area;
2. Identify the main wall size. Especially in the future, it is necessary to design the wall size of the furniture.
(2) Main body demolition and modification
Entering the construction stage, the main demolition and modification is the first project, which mainly includes demolition of walls, construction of walls, shoveling of wall skin, dismantling of heating, replacement of plastic steel windows, etc. The main demolition and modification is to put the frame of the construction site first.
(3) Hydropower transformation
Before the renovation of the water circuit, the dismantling of the main structure should be basically completed. Between the two links of hydropower renovation and main dismantling, some relevant suggestions are put forward on the location of the water supply port and range hood socket reserved by the developer. Mainly include:
1. Check whether the location of the range hood socket affects the installation of the range hood in the future;
2. Check whether the location of the water meter is appropriate.
3. Check whether the position of the water supply port is convenient for installing the sink later.
For the first measurement of cabinets, a slightly experienced friend can complete it by himself. After the waterway transformation is completed, it is best to waterproof the bathroom immediately. The kitchen generally does not need to be waterproof.
(Iv) Woodworking
The carpenter, bricklayer, and oilman were the "three brothers" in the construction process, and the basic order of appearance was: wood - tile - oil. The basic principle of appearance was - whoever was dirty first. "Whoever was dirty first" was also one of the basic principles that determined the order of home improvement.
(5) Tile
In the process of "bricklayer second" operation, the installation of the following three links is also involved:
1. Installation of door stones and marble window sills. The installation of door stones can be completed together with floor tiles, or after floor tiles are laid. The installation of marble window sills is generally after the window cover is done. Workers who install marble will prepare glass glue and seal the marble and window cover with glass glue.
2. Installation of floor drains. Floor drains are the first to appear in home improvement hardware because they have to be installed together with floor tiles. Therefore, friends should buy floor drains as soon as they start shopping for building materials.
3. Installation of range hoods. Range hoods are the first to appear in home appliances. After the kitchen walls and floors are laid, you can consider installing range hoods.
"Second Bricklayer" left the scene. At this time, he could ask for a second measurement of the cabinets. To be precise, after the kitchen walls and floors were pasted and the range hood was installed, he could ask for a second measurement of the cabinets.
(6) Wall painting
The "third oilworker" entered the scene, mainly completing the basic treatment of the wall, painting the topcoat, and painting the furniture of the "carpenter boss". Friends who are ready to paste wallpaper only need to ask the "third oilworker" to do the basic treatment on the wall where the wallpaper is planned.
(7) Kitchen and bathroom ceiling
The cabinet ceiling is the first step in the installation process, and it is still continuing the "packaging" of the home. At the same time as the kitchen and bathroom ceiling, the moisture-proof ceiling lamp and exhaust fan (Yuba) of the kitchen and bathroom should have been bought. Friends had better install the kitchen and bathroom ceiling lamp and exhaust fan (Yuba) at the same time, or leave the thread and openings.
(8) Kitchen cabinet installation
After the ceiling is over, you can make an appointment for the door-to-door installation of the cabinet. If it goes well, it can be completed in one day. There are also sinks (which may not include water supply and launching) and gas stoves installed at the same time. It is best to coordinate the property to ventilate the gas before the cabinet is installed, because the gas stove needs to be tested after it is installed. Many friends choose waterproof gypsum board with waterproof paint for kitchen and bathroom ceilings. The quotation of the decoration team is generally more than 120 yuan per square meter, which is more expensive than the general aluminum gusset and PVC gusset ceilings. The gypsum board ceiling looks relatively flat visually, but once there is a problem with the water pipe on the top surface in the future, or the water leakage upstairs needs to be repaired downstairs, etc., the gypsum board ceiling will be dismantled as a whole, which is much more troubl Therefore, everyone should be cautious when choosing a gypsum board ceiling.
(9) Wooden door installation
On the second day of the cabinet installation, after the wooden door measurement was completed more than a month ago, it can now be installed. If it goes well, it is also a day's time. Hinges, door locks, and floor suction should be installed while installing the door. Relevant hardware should be prepared in advance.
If you want the wooden door manufacturer to install the window cover and pass, you should also measure it when the wooden door manufacturer measures it, and install it at the same time on the day of the wooden door installation. At the same time, you should consider that the installation time of the marble window sill should be staggered backwards and arranged after the window cover is installed. Note: The production cycle of wooden doors is generally one month, so in order to make the construction period close, you should ask the wooden door manufacturer to come to the door as soon as possible after the main dismantling and modification is completed to measure the size of the door opening. Regarding the treatment of door openings, you need to pay attention to one point. If the height of the door openings at home is inconsistent, workers need to handle it to equal height - good-looking
(10) Floor installation
The floor can be installed the day after the wooden door is installed. If it goes well, it will also take one day. Floor installation needs to pay attention to the following issues:
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 that students level or partially level the ground, subject to the actual survey of the floor manufacturer.
2. Before the floor is installed, the floor of the paved floor at home should 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 cutting of the floor must be done in the corridor.
(11) Paving wallpaper
On the second day after the floor is installed, the home is cleaned up, and you can ask for wallpaper to be pasted. If it goes well, it will also be a day. If conditions permit, the floor should be protected on the day the wallpaper is pasted; it doesn't matter if there are no conditions, and it is no problem to hand over the wallpaper glue left on the floor to Pioneer Cleaning. Before pasting wallpaper, try to "have nothing" on the wall.
(12) Radiator installation
On the second day after the wallpaper is laid, friends who replace the radiator or dismantle the radiator can hang the radiator on the wall in a down-to-earth manner. It's also a day's time.
Wooden door - floor - wallpaper - radiator, this is a generally accepted correct installation sequence. The wooden door is installed first to ensure that the skirting line of the floor can be tightly joined with the door cover of the wooden door; the wallpaper is installed later mainly because the installation of the floor is relatively dirty, there is a lot of dust, and the wallpaper is seriously polluted. Here again, the principle of "whoever is dirty first" mentioned earlier is used. Finally, the radiator is installed because the radiator can only be installed if the wall wallpaper is laid.
The gradual decoration process is designed under various constraints and constraints. Occasionally there are exceptions, such as Holtz doors need to be installed first and then the door, but such exceptions are rare in the decoration process.
(13) Switch socket installation
(14) Lighting installation
Install the lights, nothing to say. After installing the lights, the home will be on, and goodbye to the harsh glare of the 100-watt incandescent bulb during the renovation - it feels good.
(15) Hardware and sanitary ware installation
The upper and lower water pipe fittings, bathroom pendants, toilets, drying racks, etc. bought before are all installed together.
After the "big pieces" in front are installed, the home is still very "raw and cold". After the lamps and hardware and sanitary ware are installed, the home will be "alive", really "alive". It is no exaggeration to say that the first time you turn on the dragon water and watch the water "wow, wow" flow out, your heart will be very beautiful; the first time you put a new toilet at home, you will have a sense of achievement, and give it a good name - "Virgo".
(16) Curtain rod installation
The installation of curtain rods marks the basic end of home improvement
(17) Pioneering cleaning
Before pioneering cleaning, don't install curtains, remember to remind everyone in the post "Explaining Curtains". When pioneering cleaning, don't have furniture and unnecessary appliances at home, and try to keep more "flat" so that pioneering cleaning can be thoroughly cleaned.
(18) Furniture entry
Regarding the purchase time of furniture, the earliest is after the renovation of the water circuit is completed, so that we can roughly know the basic size range of the furniture. Therefore, some friends have already ordered all the furniture in a hurry before the decoration has started, and they personally feel that there is no need.
(19) Home appliances enter the market
At this time, the home appliance should enter the market, the installation should be installed, and it is ready to move in!
(20) Home accessories
Home accessories, the last step of home decoration, and it has been transformed from decoration to decoration, including the installation of curtains, are all part of home accessories. As for buying curtains, it is best to order furniture to avoid style conflicts. Home accessories also include buying some green plants, wall paintings, decoration crafts, etc. In short, after moving in, you can play freely.
Two divisions of the decoration process
Friends who have read the first section may find it a bit confusing. In order to make it easier for everyone to further understand these 20 steps and some of the links that need attention during the period, on the basis of the previous 20 steps, another 10 are added, as follows:
1 Go through the start-up procedures - 2 self-measurement - 3 pre-design - 4 main body dismantling and modification - 5 door manufacturer door-to-door measurement - 6 cabinets first measurement - 7 water and electricity renovation - 8 bathroom waterproofing - 9 main materials enter the field - 10 woodworking - 11 tiling (installation of window sills and floor drains) - 12 installation of range hoods - 13 second measurement of cabinets - 14 wall painting - 15 kitchen and bathroom ceiling - 16 gas channels - 17 cabinet installation (installation of sink and gas stove at the same time) - 18 wooden door installation - 19 floor installation - 20 wallpaper installation - 21 radiator installation - 22 switch socket installation - 23 lamp installation - 24 hardware and sanitary ware installation - 25 curtain rod installation - - 26 Pioneering Cleaning - 27 Furniture Entry - 28 Home Appliance Installation - 29 Home Accessories - 30 Moving
(1) The four-step division of the whole process of decoration
In rough terms, according to the 20 links mentioned at the beginning of the article, the whole process of decoration can be roughly divided into the following four links:
1. Design process; (1)
2. Construction link; (2-6)
3. Installation process; (7-16)
4. The finishing touches. (17-20)
(2) The six-step division of the whole process of decoration
According to the characteristics of the project, according to the 30 links just mentioned, the whole process of decoration can also be divided into the following six steps:
The first step: design ideas; (3)
Step 2: Main body dismantling and modification; (4)
The third step: concealed engineering; (7)
Step 4: Coverage project; (10, 11, 14, 15, 19, 20)
Step 5: Installation phase (17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
Step 6: Closing stage. (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
Specific instructions:
1. In order to distinguish ourselves from bees, we must first develop a design mindset.
2. The main body dismantling and modification is to completely turn the rough house into a construction site. The main body dismantling and modification includes the content just mentioned above - "dismantling walls, building walls, shoveling wall skins, dismantling heating, changing plastic steel windows, etc.", as well as some carpentry work;
3. Concealed engineering is equivalent to "medical surgery". Concealed engineering must be done first, which is often said to be "decoration starts, water and electricity first";
4. Covering projects are like "dressing" for the home. Woodworking window covers, passes, bricklayer tiling, door stone, window sill installation, oil painting - wood, tile, and oil are basic projects. After the gusset ceiling, paving floor, and wallpaper are finished, the clothes are finished;
5. Installation stage, mainly to complete the realization of functionality. Including: cabinets, wooden doors, radiators, switch sockets, lamp installation, hardware, sanitary ware, curtain rods... each has its established function;
6. The closing stage, to put it bluntly, is to complete the factors that do not constitute "moving and moving".
Through the analysis of the second section "Two divisions of the decoration process", it may be easier for friends to understand if they look back at the first section "Analysis of the 20 links of the whole decoration process". Finally, 10 homework questions are left for friends, each with 10 points, out of 100 points. Friends who can get more than 80 points, you can basically master the decoration order section.
1. When are the two door-to-door measurements of the cabinet?
2. What is the construction sequence of doors, floors, and wallpapers?
3. Why "renovation starts, water and electricity first"?
4. What is the order of carpentry, brickwork, and oilwork?
5. When is the earliest time to buy furniture and appliances?
6. Who will proceed with the demolition and renovation of the main structure of the room and the renovation of the water circuit first?
7. When is the appropriate time for tiles to enter the market?
8. Which wooden window covers and stone window sills should be installed first?
9. When is the floor drain in the hardware installed?
10. When is the right time to do cleaning?
So far, there are still some words to tell the decorating friends, these are more practical, please remember!
1. Don't do the baffle of the shoe cabinet to the end, leave a little space so that the ash of the shoes can leak to the bottom layer, and install lights above the sink and gas stove. When setting the location of the bathroom floor drain, be sure to think about it first and measure the size. The floor drain is best located on one side of the brick. If it is in the middle of the brick, no matter how the brick is tilted, the floor drain will not be the lowest point.
2. The bathroom and air conditioner sockets are not designed with switches. Especially the bathroom electric water heater, it is appropriate to have a double-stage switch with one plug. If you want to turn off the electric heating, it is dangerous to unplug.
3. Regarding the treatment method of the yang angle part of the face tile, in the final analysis, it depends on the level of the workers. If the level of the masonry workers is good, and the tools for grinding tiles are better, you should choose the practice of grinding 45 degrees without hesitation. From the effect point of view, as long as the grinding is good, the practice of grinding 45 degrees of yang angle is the most beautiful! If the level of the workers is really not very good, then you should choose to use yang angle strips, because the poor grinding 45 degree angle method is not as good as the effect of using yang angle strips.
4. The pressure test of the water pipe after draining the water pipe is also very important. During the test, everyone must be present, and the test time is at least 30 minutes. If conditions permit, it is best to take an hour. 10kg pressure, and finally there is no reduction before the test can be passed.
5. When installing a plastic steel door, be sure to calculate the size of the protruding wall of the plastic steel door frame and inform the installer so that the final door frame and the wall after pasting the porcelain are flat, which is both beautiful and easy to clean.
6. Woodworking door covers and masonry tiles should also be combined. When packing door covers, consider whether the ground below (either side of the ground on both sides of the door) needs to be pasted with tiles or other cement mortar to level, because if the door cover is nailed before pasting porcelain pieces, it will be wrapped to the ground. When using cement in the future, if the cement and door cover are stained, it will cause the door cover wood to absorb water and become moldy.
7. The bottom of the mattress and the bed board must be breathable. Fir board is generally the best for bed boards.
8. Use as much paper tape as possible to paint.
9. When buying lamps and lanterns, pay attention: generally try to use glass, stainless steel, copper or wooden shelves), generally do not buy what iron is plated with other coatings, what paint, etc., which are easy to fade.
10. Try to use ceramic basins for washbasins. Glass basins are difficult to maintain hygiene.
11. The hydropower transformation should be planned by yourself, and they should be required to slot in a straight line. Watch them draw lines and slot all according to the drawn lines. Each item must be accepted by yourself.
12. Waterproofing must be done well, and you must test the water!
13. Many verbal agreements during construction have become gaps that have been slaughtered at checkout. They must be written in black and white, and the price must be asked and written down for items that increase or decrease!
14. If the floor is installed, the ground should be re-made with a cement layer and re-smoothed.
15. For kitchen doors, it is better to decorate them with wooden hanging rail doors.
16. Install as many power plugs as possible in the living room.
17. It is still necessary to make partitions outside the shower in the bathroom. You can't try to save trouble and pull a shower curtain. It is actually very inconvenient, and the water flows all over the floor.
18. The materials for making doors and door frames should be selected with fine wood grain.
