Describe the 30 days of the decoration process

Renovation is a big project, but most consumers are in touch for the first time. Inevitably, at first, you will feel at a loss and you do not know where to start. If you have a comprehensive understanding of the home improvement process in advance, you will have a good idea. Let's take a look at the small make up decoration process, perfect build your new home!

first day

First, time preparation:

The initial preparation basically includes the following aspects:

1 Check out the home improvement pictures on the Internet and master the style of decoration you want.

2 Find a suitable decoration company, discuss the decoration plan with the designer, determine your own decoration budget, and sign the decoration construction contract.

3 Going to the building materials market: The main thing is to select the building materials that you need. Some building materials that need to be booked in advance, such as floor tiles, often require the consumer to deliver a certain amount of deposit to the merchant. Tiles are around 100-200. You can try to try to keep this price down as much as possible with merchants, or you can negotiate a reserve deposit, which can avoid many unnecessary losses.

Second, the material preparation:

1, pen and pen

When visiting the building materials market, it is especially important. Whether it is to record the decoration knowledge, the price of the product or the contact information of the manufacturer, the design of the home, the cost of the decoration, etc., can be carefully recorded for reference. Of course, the best thing is to be able to record the progress of each day's decoration, spending, so that you can control the magic of the budget.

2, the calculator

Holding a calculator, you are not afraid of profiteers setting traps above the total price. Remind everyone that after negotiating a good price with the merchant, be sure to use your calculator to verify all the total price. If the total price is calculated wrong, the unit price we have worked so hard for will be meaningless. .

3, tape measure

Measuring the house, measuring the amount of furniture, measuring the cupboard, measuring the floor, in short, during the renovation, it must not be less.

Third, money preparation:

If your decoration budget is 50,000, you will often find that after the renovation is completed, your actual expenses will increase to 6-7k, so it is recommended that you start with a little more than the actual budget. At the same time, transportation expenses, telephone charges, and food and beverage expenses during the renovation period will rise a lot, so be prepared.

Decoration costs example: 25,000 yuan 30,000 yuan 40,000 yuan

Fourth, decoration knowledge preparation:

1 Conscientiously study online: In the age of the Internet, information is extremely rich. Finding any knowledge on the Internet is easy.

2 Shamelessly asked: Ask netizens, ask experts, and ask vendors. Whether you have any doubts about the decoration or not, if you have the opportunity, you should not hesitate to ask people who have practical experience in decoration. Finally, it will certainly benefit greatly.

the next day

How to choose a decoration company?

First, examine the qualification of the decoration company

It is necessary to select enterprises that have business licenses issued by the relevant departments and building construction enterprise qualification certificates. In addition to checking business licenses, whether or not you have a formal location for the company and whether you can issue qualified tickets are all carefully examined.

Second, look at the office environment

If a decoration company doesn't even design its own office environment, I don't think you need to consider such a company. A good decoration company should value all aspects of its own.

Third, look at the hardware facilities

Computers, scanners, printers, this is a manifestation of the strength of a company, some street guerrillas, took a table to start working at the door of the district, such a decoration company is often unreliable.

Fourth, the inspection site

After reviewing a large number of pictures on the Internet, I believe that you have a certain concept of the decoration style you want. Visiting a real-world model will give you a concrete idea of ​​the effects of the renovation.

But the most important point is: At the site you go to, you should select the decoration company that is not yet completed, so that you can examine their construction quality and management level from various aspects. A good site should have the following characteristics:

1 Cleanliness: Although it is impossible to do spotlessly where people work, the orderly building materials and rubbish that are cleared in time can truly reflect the quality of the workers. Workers with good skills often receive good quality education.

2 Quality:

* Hand feel the effect of wood paint, good quality oil project, giving the feeling should be smooth and smooth.

* Knock on the site's big core board with a crisp sound board, quality is good.

5. Check the design and budget information that the design can provide to your house

If you are satisfied with the above points, you can begin to examine the company's design and budget. This is a project that the average consumer cares most. What design and budget data should a qualified decoration company provide?

(1) Design drawings: The details of the drawings indicate the seriousness of a company. If a design can produce high-quality hand-painted home renderings, don't hesitate. His level should be good. Too much reliance on computer design tends to be low.

1 Interior Dimensions
2 furniture layout
3 Hydropower Renovation Diagram
4 Suspended ceiling
5 specific styles
6 drawings of household details (elevation maps such as TV backdrops that require on-site production of projects)
7 Overall home style renderings

(2) Instructions:

1 Defining how to make all the items, for example, which model of the brand the wall primer is used for, construction several times, and polished several times, these should be written very clearly and do not use ambiguous words.
2 Standard definition of all building materials brands, specifications, models, etc.

(3) Project Cost:

1 List all items
2 Set out the unit price, area, and total price of all items.

The third day

First, the contract template

Before signing the contract, the most important thing is to see whether the contract is a contract established by Beijing's unified standards. Generally, there are store decoration companies in the home city, all of which use such contracts. And after signing, it is necessary to record in the home market. If there is a problem during the renovation process, you can directly find the home market to coordinate. This method still has a certain degree of protection for consumers.

Second, when signing a contract, pay attention to the following aspects.

1 Time agreement: General 2 bedroom 100 square meters room, simple decoration, the duration is about 35 days, decoration company for insurance, generally will be scheduled to 45-50 days, if you are anxious to stay, you can sign and design Discuss the terms.

2 Payment method: General decoration contract, agreed down payment 60%, woodworking acceptance after paying 35%, pay 5% after completion. If you follow this form of payment, you will already pay about 95% of the cost to the decoration company after the construction period is over half. If there is any problem in the later stages of the renovation, it will be difficult to constrain the decoration company. . Therefore, it is recommended that when signing a contract, the down payment can be reduced to 30%, and 30% in the middle period.

Medium-term payment: The medium-term payment time agreed on the general contract is simply marked with "more than half of the project, carpentry closes." However, a construction site is often a multi-project crossover operation. More than half of the regular construction period should be: the end of wood production; kitchen walls, floor tiles, ceilings; the end of the wall leveling;

3 Increase and decrease items: During the decoration process, it is easy to increase or decrease the number of items, such as making more cabinets, changing several meters of water circuits, etc. These must be paid at the time of completion. What should be the unit price of these items? If you wait until you have started work, then this may be the design of the finale. Therefore, if possible, it would be best to make a copy of a complete quotation from the decoration company that was initially shown to you so as not to change the price of the decoration company when signing a contract or increasing or decreasing a project.

It is also important to note that when you finalize the fees, the increase or decrease you should pay should be signed and approved by you before construction of the project. If you did not sign the agreement, you can not pay the corresponding fees. .

4 Warranty Clause: The entire process of renovation is mainly based on manual on-site production, but it has not been fully industrialized, so it is inevitable that there will be a variety of fine-quality problems. During the warranty period, the responsibility of the decoration company should be particularly important. For example, if there is a problem, the decoration company is responsible for the entire warranty, whether it is only the contractor, is not responsible for the material warranty, or there are other restrictions, which must be clearly written in the contract.

5 Hydropower costs: During the renovation process, on-site construction will use water, electricity and gas. Generally speaking, at the end of the project, the utility bills add up to a number that is not a small sum. The cost should be paid by anyone and should be indicated in the contract.

6 Construction according to the plan: In strict accordance with the drawings that you have signed and approved, you may request rework if the detail size is not consistent with your design drawings.

7 Time and frequency of supervision and quality inspection on-site: General decoration companies distribute the project to each construction team. Quality inspection personnel and supervision are the most important supervision methods for decoration companies. Their time interval for on-site visits to the project The quality is particularly important. Supervisors and quality inspections should arrive once every 2 days. The design should also be presented 3-5 days at a time to see if the on-site construction results are in line with your own design.

Third, supplementary provisions:
1 To list in detail the brands, specifications, prices, models, etc. of the major building materials involved in the renovation. For example: category brand specification price.
2 List the unit price, total price, and construction process of each construction project. For example: engineering project unit quantity unit price total price process practice.
3 Detailed construction drawings: interior dimension drawing, furniture layout drawing, hydropower reform drawing, ceiling drawing, specific style of door, drawings of household details (such as TV background wall, etc. Point map); overall home style renderings.

Fourth day

Building Materials Home Group Buying Club >>>Click to enter the registration page

Event Venue: GOME Electrical Appliances 3rd Floor, No. 518 Xizang South Road (MRT Line No. 3 Old Ximen Station Exit, Near Fuxing East Road)

Fifth day

Which building materials do I need to buy?

Before starting the renovation, it is very important to properly control the renovation budget. Here we have compiled a series of purchase list of building materials for everyone to use for reference.

>>>Links: List of Renovation Building Materials Purchases

The sixth day

Renovation Process - What to Do After Construction

First, first of all to be sure that all your start-up procedures are in place. Start-up procedures are mainly handled in the property and generally include the following aspects.

1 Sign the renovation agreement issued by the property.
2 Provide drawings for self-renovation, which are mainly non-bearing wall projects for the transformation and demolition of water circuits.
3 Apply for a "Starting Permit", which is used to post on your own door, to facilitate the proof of the duration of the property inspection.
4 Passes: It is mainly for workers to deal with, so as to avoid illegal people mixing into the community during the renovation. (different from different districts, it is usually 15 yuan, the cost of the project is 5 yuan, and the remaining 10 yuan will be refunded to the owner after the renovation is completed). When you get a pass, it's best to bring the decoration to the foreman, as well as an inch photo of the worker and a copy of your ID card.
5 decoration deposit (different from different districts, at least 2,000 yuan, general decoration will be returned to the owner after 3 months).
6 Rubbish clearance freight: This fee is used to pay for the cleaning of house decoration waste, and it is different from the decoration company. Generally, 2 places are about 300 yuan. Different property companies charge differently.

Second, several things to do after starting

1 Have the foreman responsible for the renovation show you a list of the materials you need to purchase, and the time to be delivered to the site. Many of the decoration teams are building materials that need to be used the next day. They only tell you one day in advance. By that time, it will be too late to ask for leave to buy.
Main material purchase list: living room bedroom kitchen bathroom hardware sanitary ware
2 Understand the basic schedule of the construction period, such as the completion of the transformation of the water circuit, the sealing of wooden devices, the sticking of tiles, and the production of ceiling keels. In this way, you can make reasonable arrangements for your time and regularly check the quality at the site during important steps.
3 Know the time of quality inspection and supervision to the site. You can agree on the time. You will go to the site together. If problems are found, you can solve it in time.
4 If any problems in the construction are found, do not change the workers directly. Even if you say, they will not necessarily change. They must say to the quality inspection or say to the foreman that this is useful. And it's best to use it as a basis. In order to avoid disputes after the renovation.

Seventh day

start work.

First, do the following work:

1 Hand in key with construction unit.
2 Go to the scene to explain the situation: For example, where to increase the telephone line and so on.
3 Pay for the first period of renovation.

Second, the following personnel must be present: designers, construction workers and related technical personnel.

Third, the acceptance of materials: the first day of construction, generally only need to accept large core board. Remind you 5 points:

1 Is it a regular manufacturer's product? To view the manufacturer's trademark, production address, anti-counterfeit signs.
2 Is the amount of formaldehyde released in the product test report less than or equal to 1.5 mg per liter?
3 See if the surface of the Daxin board is smooth, with or without warping, deformation, and whether there is blistering or depression
4 The arrangement of the wicks is uniform and neat, the gap is as small as possible, and whether the wicks are rotted, broken, wormholes, knots, etc.
5 If the large core plate emits a scent of fragrant wood, less formaldehyde is released.

The eighth day

In order to achieve a better decoration effect, I demolished some walls... Many people want to change the room to an “unlimited expanse”, so I chose to remove the wall. For example, I removed the kitchen partition and made it open. Kitchen, in fact, this is also hidden many risks.

It is important to understand which walls are detachable and which cannot be removed, otherwise I can tell you responsibly that the consequences are serious - it will affect the structural safety of the entire building.

Detachable wall:

Non-bearing walls, usually on the floor plan will show these walls, they are generally thin, roughly 10CM thick.

Non-detachable wall:

Counterweight wall: The wall below the balcony window of the old house is all such a wall. Do not remove it. Load-bearing wall: This wall cannot be demolished, nor can it be a large-area hole in it.

ninth day

Decoration company's most profitable project - water circuit transformation!

Water circuit transformation is the most important, but for general decoration companies, this is also the most important profit point. Therefore, when designing, it is necessary to strictly control the budget. General decoration companies will use the actual data on the site as the specific figures for the transformation of the water circuit. It is difficult to estimate the reason and refuse to tell you in advance how much money will be spent on the hydropower reform. As a result, when the landlords checkout, they often find themselves paying more than three to four thousand yuan for this project. This is very passive.

Countermeasures: Before the signing of the renovation contract, it is required to design the water circuit transformation drawings and calculate the quantity of the following items that may occur: the transformation of the telephone line, the transformation of the power socket, the reconstruction of the switch panel, the reconstruction of the water line, the transformation of the cable television line, and the network cable. Transformation. And calculate a reasonable fee for this. In this way, it is possible to avoid the increase of the additional costs.

tenth day

How to deal with workers

First, the method of dealing with designers:

1 The design has a certain amount of discounted rights. As the weight of the final signing of the contract, it is imperative that the price be carried out to the end.
2 Designing for a long time in the decoration company, naturally has a certain understanding of the level of each construction team. After you have used all the methods of threatening, you must let him say the name of the best quality foreman and then write the contract and let the team work.
3 Do not listen to the design concept of Yunshan Mist cover. Let him put all the details into the drawings and count it into the attachment of the decoration contract.
4 The design that does not go to the construction site is definitely not a good designer. At least once a week, design your site twice to see if the design and construction are the same.

Second, dealing with quality inspection and supervision:

The construction site has quality problems. After all, quality inspection and supervision are all for the decoration company. They will do some explanation work. For example, the pine keels are all such, and there are no completely dry keels on the market. When they explained, do not give any opinions. Go home and check the information. After consulting experts, make sure the facts are true and they will not delay the theory.

Third, the method of dealing with workers

Give them due respect and have any questions, all of them looking for their decoration foreman.

Fourth, and building materials traders price method:

1 Reconnaissance: Any product, even if it is at a glance, is not a purchase, and it should not be purchased immediately. Be sure to keep in mind the brand, specifications, colors, and more to compare with each other, and try to find out the lowest price in continuous inquiry.
2 inducement: the decoration time of each community is similar, you can and the business proposed, if you give a suitable price, you can immediately come to buy with other people in the community, to see if this situation, he gave you a quote.
3 侃 侃 侃 侃 侃 侃 侃 侃 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 要 第一 第一 第一 第一 第一 第一 第一 第一 第一 第一. In this way, everyone can have a more satisfactory price.
4 Killer: Do not show that you are not able to buy this kind of building materials, be sure to show that you also look at a few building materials, mainly to see which price is right. This method is most suitable for couples to go into battle. One has a red face and one has a white face.
5 Trick: If your budget is very tight, but the quality requirements of tile, wood flooring and other building materials are relatively high, it is recommended that you can go to the large building materials wholesale market to find backlog of building materials. Sometimes you will find big brands of high-end goods, but the price is so cheap that you can not believe it. However, this type of building material is often only one copy and cannot be replenished, so even if it is cheaper, if it is not enough for your home, you should never buy it.

Important note: The price of building materials should not be too embarrassing. Taking a ceramic tile as an example, there may be 3 different qualities for a tile of the same color and size, and there may be 3 different quality levels for the first grade product and the second grade product. If you are not a professional, you can't see the difference. If you are too cheap, the merchant is likely to replace your first-value product worth 60 yuan with a qualified product worth 30 yuan.

the eleventh day

What is a hidden project? What is the easiest way to be deceived?

1 Wooden keel

When making heating cabinets, ceilings, and paving solid wood floors, wood keels must be used. The key is to eliminate poor quality wood. In addition, for fire protection needs, wood keel should be brushed 1- 2 times fire-retardant paint. Small decoration companies often cut corners in this area.

2 Floor waterproof

Pay attention to make the floor waterproof. At present, the commonly used waterproof materials are: Polyurethane film; Water does not leak; Plugging spirit; After stopping the water treatment, the water storage experiment should be carried out to see if there is any water leakage within 24 hours.

3 Do not close the pipeline

Do not seal water pipelines in partitions or cabinets for aesthetic reasons only. Make sure that you leave an inspection opening. Otherwise, if you run a house full of water, you cannot even open an access hole.

4 The buried wire must use casing

The buried wires cannot be buried directly in the wall but must be sheathed outside the wires. Wires in the bushing must not be twisted or jointed. Otherwise, there is no way to repair and replace the wire after the aging.

The twelfth day

How to Accept Wood Works

One, with Qi Maren

1 The designers of your home decoration, quality inspection, supervision, and the captain of the decoration team let them all gather at the scene and everyone checks and accepts them together. After preventing problems, they shirk their responsibilities.
2 Bring a friend who has had practical decoration experience, let him help you review. No matter how much we learn about the acceptance of the decoration on the Internet, there is a gap with the actual situation.
3 If there is any condition, please go to a special project supervisor. This kind of project supervision should not be provided by the decoration company, but should be done by a third party supervisor.

Second, bring together information

1 Bring a decoration budget slip: Use it to check if all the projects have been completed on the site and if there are missing items.
2 Bring all construction drawings: Check whether all the projects are constructed according to the drawings and whether the construction dimensions are accurate.
3 Take a ruler, pen, notepad, etc.: The ruler can be used to measure whether the wooden work on site is the correct size. Pens and notebooks are used to record some questions. If problems are found, the quality inspection and design signature approval will be made and the deadline will be rectified. Never believe any verbal promises, or you will end up with yourself.

Third, personal acceptance

1 Look at the gap: it is not more than 0.2mm for the wood sealing line, corner line, and waistline facing panel; the angle between the line and the cable slot is not more than 0.3mm; the interface between the decorative panel and the plate is not more than 0.2mm; the entire sliding door is The error does not exceed 0.3mm.
2 Look at the structure: if the structure is straight. Whether horizontal or vertical, the correct carpentry practices should be straight.
3 Look at the corner: if the corner is accurate. The normal corners are all 90 degrees, except for special design factors.
4 Look at the parquet: whether the parquet is tight and accurate. The correct wooden pattern is to be seamless or to maintain a uniform distance.
5 See arc: whether arc and roundness are smooth and sleek. In addition to a single, a number of the same shape to ensure consistency in the shape.
6 Look at the door: Is the cabinet door switch normal? When the door is open, it should be light and no noise.
7 Look at the leveling: The surface of the woodworking project should be smooth, without drums or breakage.
8 Look at symmetry: Symmetric woodwork items are symmetrical.
9 Look nails: nails used in suspended ceiling structures need to be coated with rust paint on the nail eyes.

The thirteenth day

How to paste tiles

Personnel: It usually requires 1-2 bricklayers.
Order: first put wall tiles, then paste tiles.
Time: A good bricklayer sticks 5-6 squares a day, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee quality. Especially in the case of windowsills where small diagonals are needed, it is time consuming.

Material selection:

1, polished tiles: the surface is smooth and bright.
2. Vitrified tiles: The surface is smooth and bright, but it is denser than the polished tiles and does not seep through.
3, mosaic: The current mosaic variety and technology gradually increase, high-quality glass mosaic is expensive, in 300 yuan / square meter or more, can be used to decorate.
4, marble: the general family with caution, it is best to use when the role of local embellishment.
5, sealant: Now the average family tile, has not used the white cement groove joints. Colourful caulking agent can sometimes bring unexpected effects to ordinary tiles.

Construction sequence:

Paving ceramic floor tiles basic process

1, paving color glazed tiles:
Treat grassroots → bullets → tile soaking wet → spread cement mortar → install standard block → paving bricks → sew → clean → curing.
2, paving ceramic mosaic tiles (mosaic) categories:
Deal with grassroots → elastic line, marking bar → paving cement mortar → paving → tapping → sprinkling, peeling paper → picking, filling, cleaning → cleaning.

Essentials for Construction of Ceramic Tiles

1. The concrete floor should cut the base layer, cut the hair to a depth of 5 to 10 mm, and cut the distance between the cuts to be about 30 mm. After that, clean the floating ash, mortar, and oil stains, and produce scattered water to sweep the ground.
2. Before the paving, a good line should be played. On the ground, a reference line at right angles to the doorway opening should be popped. The line should be started from the entrance to ensure that the entrance is a whole brick, and the non-complete brick is placed under the overcast or furniture. The vertical and horizontal positioning control lines appear.
3, before laying ceramic tiles, ceramic tiles should be soaked in the shade.
4. When laying, cement mortar should be fully applied on the back of the ceramic floor tile. At the same time, use a level ruler to check and correct and wipe the surface cement mortar.
5. After 2 to 3 hours of paving, use white cement to wipe the joints. Use cement mortar and sand=1:1 (volume ratio) cement mortar. The joints should be densely packed and smooth. Wipe the surface with cotton again.
6, attention.
(1) The grassroots must be qualified for treatment, and there must be no floating soil or floating dust.
(2) Ceramic tiles must be soaked and dried. After free from affecting the coagulation and hardening, hollowing, shelling and other problems occur.
(3) No person will be allowed within 2~3 hours after completion of paving. Ceramic tiles should be maintained for 4 to 5 days before they are available.

Fourteenth day

How to choose wood flooring?

1 Select color:
If the high-grade wooden floor cannot be harmonized with the color of the home, it is also a waste. The light-colored material has a uniform color and a lively style, which can fully express the warmth of the family. Over the past few years more popular white wood flooring, the effect is good, that is very bad cleaning.

2 The materials are assembled on the flat ground with a few pieces of floor. Touch the hand and see the accuracy of the processing quality. A good floor should be precision workmanship, accurate dimensions, flat corners, no height difference.

The fifteenth day

How to choose wood paint?

The most important thing is to buy the packaging: lift the paint bucket and shake it. If there is a crackling sound, it means that the packaging is seriously lacking, and there are two shortages, and the viscosity is too low. The formal factory is really real and can hardly hear the sound. . Respond to an estimate of the amount of use: purchases should be made at the same time to avoid the slight color difference of the purchased paint. Choose the same brand: primer and topcoat are best to use the same brand or matching paint to prevent chemical reaction between primer and topcoat.

Construction sequence:

1. Remove dust and dirt on the surface of wooden products and lines (wood base).
2. Trimming the burrs on the surface of the wood substrate, lifting the flaws, etc., and polishing with a sand leather to make the corners neat.
3. Use oily putty (or transparent putty) to scrape, polish, refill and putty after putty (when using varnish, first make up brown eyes, nail holes, and do local color repair work).
4. Apply the paint over the first pass, refill the putty, remove the surface dust after polishing.
5. Apply the second pass of the paint. After polishing, remove the surface dust and perform water milling with the sand skin to repair the hanging oil.
6. Apply the third pass of paint until the desired result is achieved.

The sixteenth day

After comparing wallpapers, I chose partial wallpapers.

1 The wallpaper is not more expensive than the brush paint: If you choose a wallpaper with 50 to 70 rolls, the cost of the materials will be calculated, and the cost will be similar to that of Dulux, but the colors will be much more beautiful.

2 Wallpaper Size: The average wallpaper is 52 cm wide and 10 meters long. If it is a 2.5-meter-high house, it is a wall that is 2 meters long. So when you buy it, you can use this algorithm to roughly estimate the amount you use, and then buy a few more affluent volumes just in case.

3 important tips: buy wallpaper must buy enough time, no matter how big brand manufacturers, he even sells the same wallpaper, the color of each batch of products are not the same. Once you buy less, you are likely to post a wall with chromatic aberration. And the wallpaper is generally bought more, the whole volume that does not Kaifeng can be returned, will not cause the waste.

Seventeenth day

How to choose the kitchen countertop

(a) marble countertops:

Purchasing reference: The length of natural stone cannot be too long, and it is impossible to make a long overall bench, which is not suitable for the trend of modern pursuit of the whole table.
Advantages: natural stone texture is very beautiful, hard texture, scratch resistance is very prominent, good wear resistance; low cost, different colors, the most commonly used price is only a few hundred yuan a meter, is affordable A countertop material. The price of high-grade natural stone countertops is also around 1,000 yuan.
Disadvantages: The two splicing can not be integrated, the gap is easy to breed bacteria; natural stone density is greater, need strong cabinet support, although it is more than enough, but the elasticity is insufficient, in case of a heavy blow cracks will occur, it is difficult to repair, some invisible Natural cracks can also occur when the temperature changes rapidly.

(b) Stainless steel countertops:

The stainless steel table is bright and bright, and the performance is excellent. It generally adds a thin layer of stainless steel on the surface of the high-density fire board.
Advantages: strong, easy to clean, strong practicality. In recent years, due to the strong impact of the new concept of "European-European integration" modern cabinets, stainless steel countertops are also conforming to the development trend of the combination of beautiful and practical cabinets, and made corresponding improvements. For consumers who value "practical" considerations, or consumers who love metal textures, buying stainless steel countertops is not a bad idea.
Disadvantages: The vision is more "hard" and gives a "cold" feeling. There is a lack of reasonable and effective means of handling the corners and joints of the countertops.

(C) refractory board table:

Purchasing reference: The fatal drawback of its fly in the ointment is that after cutting off the exposed section, the use of refractory board veneer, PVC veneer, metal stripe edge to cover the cross-section of the wood substrate, the junction in the corner table joint, lack of effective Processing means, usually using silicone adhesive, plastic and special metal embedded to increase the appearance.
Advantages: bright color, wear resistance, scratch resistance, high temperature performance, gives a new look, and the same level of cabinet surface, supplemented by embedded gas stove, increased the feeling of beauty. The price is also acceptable to the average consumer, generally 200 yuan to 500 yuan per meter.
Disadvantages: Countertops are easily eroded by water and moisture. Improper use can result in degumming, deformation, and substrate expansion.

(d) Artificial stone:

Advantages: Man-made stone is more wear-resistant, acid-resistant, high-temperature resistant, impact, pressure, flexural, anti-infiltration and other functions are also very strong. The deformation, bonding, turning and other parts of the treatment are unique; because the surface is free of pores, oil, water stains do not easily penetrate them, so strong anti-fouling; can be seamlessly bonded to any length, the same material adhesive will be two Blocks are ground and bonded together.
Disadvantages: Higher prices.
Special Note: Even if it is seamless man-made stone, because of its different processing technology, the quality is also divided into threes and nines, etc., so in the choice of a certain pick reputation better, service guaranteed brand.

Eighteenth day

How to choose a sanitary ware

First squat toilet class. You should pay attention to the flushing method and water consumption when you purchase the toilet bowl. Toilet flushing methods are common straight and siphon. In general, flush toilets are loud and easy to counteract. The siphonic toilet seat is a silent toilet seat with a high water seal and is not likely to be anti-odor.

Second bathtub. Bathtubs are made of ordinary steel bathtubs, acrylic bathtubs, cast iron bathtubs, and 3.5mm thick steel bathtubs. In general, the ordinary steel bathtub is easy to clean, and the shape is relatively simple. The acrylic bathtub is rich in shape, but its life is short and it is difficult to clean after aging. The cast iron bathtub has long service life, high grade, high price, and handling and installation are more troublesome. Now more popular in the international market is Germany 3.5mm thick steel plate bathtub, because this type of bath surface glazed handle is not dirty, thick steel plate long life, easy installation, both the advantages of steel bathtub and cast iron bathtub.

The third basin. In addition to the shape of the basin, consumers should pay attention to the quality of the glaze, because the glazed surface is good, not hanging dirty, the surface is easy to clean, long-term use is still bright as new.

How to choose Yuba

Packaging: The appearance should be clean and smooth, graphic printing should be fine and clear.
Spare parts: The product should be accompanied by a switch board, a junction box and an exhaust outlet. Instructions, product certifications, and safety guidelines should accompany the product packaging.

This is generally not comparable to products using PPO and ABS plastics.

Because the high-power light bulb is often switched, the lamp holder's conductive ring will come off. A good "bath tyrant" is generally a conjoined design of porcelain seats to ensure that users have no permanent maintenance of lampholders.
Motor: A good motor (micro-motor) generally has a thermal safety device. When the voltage is unstable and the temperature is high, it can automatically trip safely, and it can be returned to the working state after normal recovery.
