I have talked about many issues related to decoration, and what I will share with you today is "In the decoration part, how to allocate the decoration cost more reasonably, spend less money, and let every penny be implemented." ”
As we all know, decoration is a bottomless pit, which can be 100,000 or 1 million. So if we are facing a low budget now, how can we achieve relatively high quality?Today, I will tell you from the hard-packed plate what money cannot be saved. Below, we will discuss it in five points.
Water pipes are divided into upper and lower water pipes. Compared with the early cast iron pipes, galvanized steel pipes and cement pipes, PP-R pipes have the advantages of material saving, environmental protection, corrosion resistance, smooth inner wall and not easy to scale and long service life. The common colors of PPR tubes are white, gray, green, and curry, and we usually have the most common green tube. The reason why there are different colors is caused by the different masterbatches added. If conditions permit, it is recommended to buy white tubes, because there will be a very small number of manufacturers who will use ** materials to produce PPR tubes, in order to cover up the defects caused by impurity of raw materials by adding color masterbatches.
When installing water pipes, it is recommended that hot water pipes are used for both cold and hot water pipes in the waterway renovation. For the diameter of the pipe, 20mm is 4 pipes, and 25mm is 6 pipes. Among them, the more common one is 4 pipes, but if the economy allows, the actual decoration conditions are more in line with the 6 points, and there are higher requirements for water pressure, you can use the whole house 6 points.
The wire is a cliché plate, and the first thing that causes the most controversy is whether it is better to have a multi-strand copper core wire or a single-strand copper core wireWe can compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two themselves, rather than simply arguing about who is better.
Let's talk about the single-strand copper core wire first, which literally means that there is only one wire for a single strand, so it is relatively simple to operate from the perspective of installation, and the single wire is also firm and hard, and more resistant to oxidation. The disadvantage is that the single strand wire itself is hard, and from the perspective of construction, the difficulty of threading is higher, and the installation and maintenance are relatively troublesome. And its own load capacity is weak. In some respects, the multi-strand copper core wire is the opposite of the single-strand wire, because the multi-strand wire is composed of many lines, so it is stronger than the single-strand wire in terms of load, and because there is a certain gap between the lines, it is not easy to heat. The disadvantages are even more obvious, first of all, it is more complicated in the wiring, because it is necessary to ensure that every wire is connected, but because the multi-strand wire is soft, when the wire is buried in the wall, the wire with soft insulator is easier to run. Therefore, in the installation of this part, the single strand and the multi-strand line are comparable, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. In terms of service life, it is not as long as a single strand, and the filament is prone to oxidation after a long time, resulting in wire cracking. The cost of the two is also higher for multi-strand lines.
So how should you choose, you have a view of the wise, I can only say that if it is yourself, I would prefer to choose multiple strands.
When it comes to waterproofing, the phrase "the wall is rigid and soft" may come to mind. But why is there such a statement, first of all, we have to understand what is rigid and flexible waterproof.
Rigid waterproofing is to rely on the compactness of the structure itself or use rigid materials as a waterproof layer to achieve the purpose of building waterproofing. For example: waterproof mortar waterproof layer, thin inorganic rigid waterproof layer (waterproof coating). So why should the wall be rigid waterproof, because in fact, the waterproofing of the wall is more of a moisture-proof. Rigid waterproofing has no elasticity, but it is higher than flexible waterproofing in terms of penetration prevention and service life. In addition, the wall will need to be tiled in the later stage, and in the firmness of the brick, rigid waterproofing is also better than flexible waterproofing.
Flexible waterproofing is a waterproof layer formed by laying and bonding flexible materials such as asphalt and linoleum, or coating the waterproof surface with polymer synthetic materials as the main body. According to the different materials, it is divided into membrane waterproofing and film waterproofing. The flexible waterproof material has high tensile strength. The elongation rate is large, the weight is light, and the construction is convenient. Considering that the uneven settlement of the foundation will cause slight deformation and thermal expansion and cold contraction changes to the indoor structure, flexible waterproofing with a certain degree of elasticity is selected.
Finally, talking about the waterproof height, it is recommended that the bathroom can be one meter eight on all sides, and the dry area of the kitchen and bathroom can be about 60cm, usually 30cm.
Whether it's a cabinet made on site, or a finished furniture customized for the whole house, the raw materials can't escape the board. Today, we will tell you how to choose the plate from the raw materials.
First of all, there are two types of panels: "solid wood panels" and "synthetic panels", and all synthetic panels are composed of a base layer and a finish. We won't say much about solid wood boards, specifically several common synthetic boards on the market, 1. Particle board, that is, particleboard. The ingredient is wood planer particles and glue, which has the advantages of being cheap, easy to process, good flatness of the board surface, sound absorption and heat insulation. The disadvantage is poor water and moisture resistance.
2. Osson plate, that is, OSB board. Ousong board is a kind of oriented structural plate made by processing into flakes by special equipment, and then through multiple processes. The composition is wood planer plus glue, which has the advantage of uniform material, high stability, strong load-bearing capacity and good waterproof performance, and the disadvantage is that it is high.
3. Multi-layer board, multi-layer board is made of superposition of multiple solid wood boards in the middle of the glue, because the amount of glue is more, so the relative environmental protection is poorer. The composition is thin wood chips and glue, which has the advantage of having a certain moisture-proof property, good nail holding force and structure, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to deform and the plasticity of the shape is relatively poor.
4. MDF, the composition is plant fiber plus glue, because the glue is the largest, so the formaldehyde content of MDF is also the highest among all boards. The advantages are cheap, good flatness, fine material and impact resistance, high plasticity, and the disadvantage is that it is not environmentally friendly enough and has poor moisture resistance.
5. Ecological board, the composition is thin wood chips plus wood square plus glue, which is a kind of man-made board with convenient construction, and the middle part is spliced by wood. The advantage is that it is environmentally friendly, easy to process, and the surface is smooth and paint-free, and the disadvantage is that the texture is soft and easy to deform.
Finally, I would like to mention the types of board finishes and edge banding, common finishes are: double veneer, PVC lamination, PET finish, lacquer finish, solid wood veneer, etc. Common edge banding are: EVA edge banding, PUR edge banding, laser edge banding, seamless edge banding. In the next issue, we will explain the advantages and disadvantages of different finishes and edges.
This is actually a better choice, the first choice is big brands, buy more than buy less. There are a few tips that you might share with you:
1. Five-hole socket, choose large hole spacing;
2. Whether it is a switch or a socket, frameless is preferred.
3. For kitchen and some commonly used socket appliances, you can choose a socket with a switch.
The above is the little knowledge about decoration shared with you in this issue, welcome everyone to leave a message and discuss it together!
