The trap of decoration can be said to be everywhere, the cost of decoration can be high or low, if it is a decoration white, you have to pay a lot of tuition in minutesBecause they don't know some unspoken rules of the renovation industry.
This issue summarizes the 6 unspoken rules in the decoration, which are the knowledge that only veterans in the industry know, and it is generally not easy to tell others, if you follow it, you can save a lot of money!
After the Spring Festival is the off-season, when decoration is the cheapest
After June every year, it will enter the decoration season, which will be until before the Spring FestivalAnd after the Spring Festival is the off-season for decorationSmart people will choose to decorate at this time.
At this time, the decoration, whether it is management or workers, is more leisurely, the time is more sufficient, the work will be more meticulous and serious, and the construction period will be shorter.
Because the workers came back one after another after the Spring FestivalLabor costs will be cheaper than in peak seasonWorkers with good craftsmanship can also be selected. Managers don't have many projects for the time being, so they will spend more energy to follow up on the construction site at hand.
This is a good thing for the customer, at least the quality of the project is guaranteed.
Don't choose tiles with small sizes, the cost is much more expensive
Ceramic tile is one of the main materials for decoration, and there are many tips for choosing tiles, among which is not to choose tiles of small size. There are two reasons for this:
Labor costs are high
The smaller the size of the tile, the more time it takes to lay it, mainly in thetile butt seam and cut above,Therefore, the fee charged by workers is more than 30% higher than that of tiles of larger size.
For example, paving 80x80cm tiles, the labor cost per square meter is 60 yuan, and paving 30x30cm tiles will be charged 80 yuan per square meter, and the smaller the size, the higher the cost.
If the paving area is large, the difference is more than 1,000 yuan.
There are many costs for beauty sewing
Tiles of small size meanThe more brick joints, the more expensive it will be to make a sewing agent, because the sewing agent and time will be more. **Larger than the size of the tileAt least 30% more expensive.
Therefore, if it is not specially designed, it is not recommended to choose a small size of tiles, and the cost will increase a lot.
Don't do it on the ground, it doesn't have much effect, and you can do it on the wall
In order to increase the strength of the floor and walls of the original building, we will reinforce it by painting the ground and wall reinforcement.
However, not all original buildings need to be added, depending on the situation on site.Generally speaking, the actual effect of ground solidification is not great, becauseThe ground is all reinforced concreteThe material itself is already very firm, and it makes little sense to brush the ground again.
If there are obvious cracks in the ground, water can flow to the next layer, which is already itEngineering quality problemsIn this case, even if the ground is solid, the effect is not obvious.
And it also increases the cost, but it does not get the desired effect, and it will be more unjust.
Wall consolidation can be done, because most of the walls are brick walls and then plastered with cement mortarPainting the wall solid can increase the strength of the cement mortarThis can reduce the occurrence of tile peeling voids and latex paint cracking when applying tiles or latex paint in the later stage.
The drain pipe should be covered with soundproof cotton for good comfort
A friend once told a joke that I knew exactly when I went to the toilet upstairs, because when I flushed upstairs, I could hear it, especially in the dead of night.
This is because the drains in the bathroom and kitchen are shared upstairs and downstairsWhen the water in the drain pipe flows, a sound is producedIf you just use bricks to seal the pipe, there is less sound that can be blocked.
Therefore, wrapping these drainage pipes with soundproof cotton is just that:Prevent the noise produced by these water flows,Enhance the comfort of life.
And it doesn't cost much, and you can even do it yourself. However, when wrapping, it must be completely covered and firm, and the quality of soundproof cotton should be thicker, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.
Socket panels, lamps, and home appliances can be purchased online
Some of the decoration materials can be purchased online, and today's online shopping has been very convenient, which can save a lot of time and avoid running around to run the decoration market.

Choose basic appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, and water purifiers
Today's home appliances are becoming more and more advanced, with more and more functions, and at the same time, they are more expensive. Therefore, some household appliances can buy basic modelsToo many features are instead an IQ tax.
For example, the refrigerator is only allowed to have good preservation effect, large capacity, energy saving, etc., which can already meet the needs of daily life. As for the touch screen, intelligent temperature control and other functions seem to be very advanced, in fact, there are not many opportunities to use them.
And the basic household appliances should also be lowerFunctional styles** are higher,The difference between the two is usually more than 1,000 yuan, and a proper IQ tax makes it more practical to save this money to buy other things.
The more functional appliances there are, the greater the chance of problemsRepairs are also not cheap. The basic appliances are relatively less likely to have problems.
