Many owners of old houses and apartments have to sooner or later carry out the overhaul of their home. In such housing, it is necessary to remove the coatings from the walls and ceiling, as well as the dismantling of the flooring. At the initial stages of major repairs, it is necessary to arrange window window sills and slopes, as well as replace window blocks. Next, lay the wiring, after which you can carry out painting work.
At the further stages of repair, some delays may appear that are related to the characteristics of the technology. For example, each layer of plaster and putty should dry thoroughly before applying a new layer. Compliance with this rule will allow you to get an amazing result – completely even walls and ceiling, which will make any room visually more voluminous. On such a coating, wallpaper or paint fall evenly, there are no distortions and the necessary pattern remains. In parallel with painting work, we also make repairs in the kitchen and in the bathroom. These works are best done at the initial stages of repair. In accordance with the plan for placing the necessary plumbing, welded work and pipes are carried out are carried out. Particular attention in the bathroom must be paid to the electrical wiring, which should have a mandatory grounding.
Next are the following work in the bathroom: installing a bath and toilet, leveling walls, laying tiles on the walls. After that, the tile on the floor is laid and the ceiling is mounted. After all the main works are completed, other plumbing devices are installed, such as faucets and accessories.
Together with work in the bathroom, you can put the walls in the apartment. There are special devices capable of measuring the moisture content of their material can be used for technological control over the process of drying the putty layer. In some cases, the old housing will need a new cement screed. The main purpose of such a screed is to align the surface on which the flooring is planned to be covered.
The plus of the usual cement mixture lies in its cheapness, among the disadvantages we can distinguish that it is difficult enough to align the horizon with the same time of drying such a screed at least forty days. Self -leveling bulk floors is expensive, but at the same time very technological material. The alignment process is very simple: a solution of the mixture is poured, which is evenly distributed over the entire surface and makes it perfectly horizontal. Complete drying occurs after two weeks, which allows you to significantly win in time.
After screed, door boxes and doors are often installed. Together with these works, you can lay tiles in the premises where it is planned. You need to know that you can put tiles only on a dried screed.
Installation of flooring is usually carried out at the final stages of repair. When installing piece parquet on the floor, it is cycress and covered with only one layer of varnish, after the end of this work you can glue the wallpaper, and then cover the floor with the other layers of varnish. Wallpaper should be glued only after cycles, since as a result of this process a large amount of dust appears, which can ruin the wallpaper.
After all these work performed, we can assume that the main part of the overhaul has ended. It remains only to install decorative elements, cornices, platbands, sockets and switches, skirting boards.
