Specific details
1. The main body of the house demolition, but the load-bearing walls can not be demolished.
The first step in the second-hand interior decoration program is the demolition of the main body of the house, mainly including the demolition of walls, masonry walls, shoveling siding, demolition of heating, replacement of plastic steel windows and so on. However, the part under the window of the load-bearing wall between the living room and the balcony, once removed, the structural part of the balcony may be out of balance, resulting in the potential for housing safety accidents.
2. Water and electricity construction to be concerned
In those second-hand houses are often commonly stored in some of the circuits and plumbing aging, broken problems. For example, the circuit distribution is simple, wire aging, illegal wiring, unreasonable layout of the water pipe, and check whether the water pipe rust, aging. Once the above problems occur, must be timely treatment and replacement of new water pipes and wires.
3. Carpentry
In the second-hand interior decoration program, carpentry can be considered as a thin link of the main demolition and reform, itself and the water and electricity road renovation is not a conflict, and sometimes need some cooperation. And carpentry, tiling, oiling is the construction link trilogy. The basic order of appearance is: wood - tile - oil.
4. Wooden door installation
If you want to let the wooden door manufacturers to install the window cover, pass, then you can measure the wooden door manufacturers to measure together, and in the wooden door installation day at the same time to install, at the same time, you should consider the installation of marble window sills backward time staggered, lined up in the window cover after the installation. At the same time in the installation of wooden doors to be installed at the same time as the hinges, door locks, floor suction.
5. Indoor tiling
If the workers are busy, the general foreman will be in the carpentry work is not yet over when the "tile work two" into the field tiling, which is no conflict. In the interior tiling, living room, master bedroom, study, kitchen, bathroom tile selection is different, this depends entirely on the homeowner's decoration budget.
6. Painting
After the indoor tiling should be "oiling three" into the field, mainly to complete the wall base treatment, paint, but also to the "carpentry boss" to play the furniture on the paint and other work.
7. Kitchen and bathroom ceiling
Often cabinet ceiling often as the installation of the link to play the lead, and generally in the kitchen and bathroom ceiling at the same time, the kitchen and bathroom moisture ceiling lamps, exhaust fans and bath bombs should have been bought.
8. Cabinet installation
Generally, if the installation of the cabinet is smooth, the day can be completed. And before the installation of cabinets, it is best to coordinate with the property to the gas, because at the same time the installation of sinks and gas stoves, after the installation of the need to test the gas.
9. Installation of the floor
The floor of the home of the flooring should be clean, to ensure that the ground is dry, so the cleaning process remember to use water. In addition, before installing the floor it is best to let the manufacturer visit to survey the ground whether the need for leveling or partial leveling, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble in the installation process.
10. wallpaper paving
Wallpaper paving, only need to let the "oiler three" in the plan to paste wallpaper on the wall to do grass-roots level processing can be, wallpaper selection depends entirely on the homeowner's decorating budget and house interior design style.
11. Install sufficient switches and sockets
The more appliances in the house, the more colorful lighting equipment, so there are many places in the house need to place switches and sockets. And homeowners should have a detailed understanding or record of the number of switches and sockets in each natural room in the house, location and other issues, in general, the number of sockets in a set of two-bedroom homes not less than 15, switches not less than 8.
12. radiator installation
In general, the door - floor - wallpaper - radiator, which is a generally recognized correct installation Order, the first wooden door is installed to ensure that the floor skirting can be tightly jointed with the door of the wooden door; after the installation of wallpaper mainly because the installation of the floor is more dirty, dusty, wallpaper contamination is serious. Here again, I said earlier, "who is dirty who first" principle. Last installed radiator is because only wallpaper wallpaper can be installed radiator.
13. Selective installation of lamps
House lamps and lanterns installation, the choice of lamps and lanterns depends on the homeowner. For example, the living room to choose a good lighting lamps and lanterns, TV cabinets to choose the floor color lamps, bedrooms to choose a soft light color lamps and lanterns.
14. Curtain installation
The choice of curtains is also diverse, for example, the living room curtains are generally chosen to translucent, reflective curtains. Kitchen curtains should try to use aluminum alloy baking paint coating of the blinds, thus preventing the oil stained after not easy to clean.
15. Furniture into the field
The best time to choose furniture is after the completion of the water and electricity road remodeling, so that the basic size range of the choice of furniture we have a rough idea.
16. Appliance installation
Appliances should be in the field into the field, the installation of the installation. I personally recommend that homeowners choose to buy home appliances before, should be designed from the home of the switch and socket is enough, so as not to cause overload in the future time, resulting in the occurrence of fire.
17. home accessories
In the house interior design point of view home accessories is the last step of home decoration, and has been transformed from decoration to decoration, including the installation of curtains belong to the home accessories link. As for buying curtains, it is best to order the furniture, so as not to conflict with the style.
