Renovating an old house and demolishing the old decoration is a big expense. Taking the ground as an example, the labor cost required to remove the tiles alone is 30 45 yuan, and if you add the cost of handling, garbage removal, etc., it will take nearly 10,000 yuan to remove the old ground. Therefore, it is better not to demolish the things that can be demolished - not to demolish the old decoration, not only do you not have to pay for the demolition cost, but also save part of the funds for the new decoration (for example, if the ground is not demolished, there is no need to level it).
In the process of renovating an old house, many people will face a problem: where can not be demolished to save cost and time. Below, let's discuss in detail which of the walls and floors in the old house can not be demolished.
First of all, if the old ground is covered with wooden floors, or the ground is sloping and uneven, it must be demolished. Since it is not possible to install a new floor directly, it needs to be leveled.
Secondly, if the floor is covered with tiles, but there are several problems with them (hollowing, cocking, etc.), just remove the problem tiles. If there is no problem at all, there is no need to dismantle it at all.
For new wooden floors, the demolished tiles need to be filled with cement mortar. If water and electricity are slotted in the ground, the water and electricity pipes need to be filled in as well. After that, just put the keel on the ground and lay the floor.
If you choose to install new tiles, you must first use a machine to polish the surface of the old tiles to make the surface of the old tiles rough, so as to ensure the firmness of the new tiles. Then, a thin layer of screed is made with cement mortar, which can be used to fill in potholes and breakages in the ground. Finally, the new tiles can be laid normally.
In terms of walls, if the old wall is modeled, such as soft packaging, wood boards, gypsum boards, etc., it must be removed. Because all shapes are broken and need to be repaired or refurbished.
For latex paint, wallpaper, wall cloth, diatom mud and other finishes used on old walls, you can use an abrasive cloth to polish off the decorative layer on the surface. The wallpaper and wall cloth need to be torn off first, and then the glue residue underneath is sanded. And the putty under these finishes generally does not need to be removed, and a new layer of putty can be scraped directly on top of the old putty.
However, there are two things to keep in mind when making a new wall. First of all, if there are problems on the old wall, such as hollows and cracks, you need to deal with these problems first and then scrape new putty. There are many ways to deal with it, such as removing the old putty and scraping it again, using gypsum powder to seal it, etc. Secondly, if the putty used for the old wall is not waterproof, there is no need to save it. Because the poor quality of putty will directly affect the life of the new wall, and the amount of work to remove the non-waterproof putty is not large, it can be completed in half a day.
For the tiles on the walls of kitchens, bathrooms and other rooms, they generally need to be removed, because the wall tiles are more affected by gravity, and no matter how they are polished, they can't hang the new tiles. However, if it is the wall tiles behind the cabinets and behind the bathroom cabinets, you can consider not removing them, because the tiles in these places do not affect the appearance, as long as they can prevent the cabinet from returning to moisture.
As for the ceiling, it is generally decorated with latex paint, and you can refer to the treatment method of latex paint on the wall above. But if it's a suspended ceiling, it should be treated differently. All ceiling keels can be dismantled, but the premise is that the shape and material of the new ceiling must be similar to that of the ceiling. For plasterboard ceilings or plaster line hooks, it is not recommended to renovate because the lifespan of plaster is often only 5 7 years, and even if it is renovated, the remaining life will not be too much, and it may even be destroyed during renovation. If you don't want to remove the ceiling, you can use fine sandpaper to sand it and then refresh the paint directly.
For the ceiling of the aluminum gusset, you can consider continuing to use it, because the aluminum gusset has a long life and will not change much in appearance. Just wash it clean and continue to use. And the PVC gusset is best removed, because the gusset of this material will become very fragile after three to five years.
It is important to note that part of the ceiling may need to be removed during the renovation process to allow for the wiring or plumbing behind the ceiling. During this process, the ceiling may crack and need to be handled with care.
For the renovation of old houses, retaining some decorations that do not need to be demolished can save cost and time, while also retaining some of the original decoration effects. However, the situation of each house is different, and the specific decision of whether to demolish it depends on the actual situation of the house. Therefore, before carrying out the renovation, you must carefully evaluate and choose the decoration plan that suits you.

Demolition of the old renovation will bring a certain amount of cost and construction period extension, if you can choose not to demolish the way to renovate, not only can you save money, but also retain some of the characteristics of the original decoration.
