Copy Editor: Allen\’s eldest cousin

There are actually many potential residential risks caused by decoration. Maybe you have never encountered them, so you haven’t paid attention to them. To say they are small may only affect the living experience. If it gets bigger, it may really be a matter of safety.

Second time Decoration, summing up the previous experiences and lessons, I completely abandoned these\”Fake high-end\”\’s design (seemingly high-end is actually not applicable ), avoiding many potential risks, and living in the house becomes more secure and smooth. I will share it in this issue. I hope my honest suggestions can help you.

Pure drawer chest without wall fixing

From a certain point of view, as a soft decoration item that embellishes the space, the drawer cabinet and other accessories play a role. Compared with the customized cabinet, it is indeed exquisite and good-looking, but it is not suitable for children at home. For families, this is really not a wise move, because many parents just place the cupboard in the corner without strengthening it.

I recommend ①: No matter whether there are children at home or not, any chest of drawers must be reinforced against the wall. Maybe you don’t have children at home, but maybe the children of relatives and friends will come to play at home?

If it is for storage, it is still recommended to use customized cabinets and design them in advance. The storage capacity of the cabinet is actually not large, and there are many sanitary blind spots around it, so cleaning is not convenient. If it is For soft decoration effect, you can choose span>

Stone plate integrated wash basin

This is by no means the first time that my cousin has dissed an integrated slate basin. I have also encountered incidents where businesses selling slate slabs have been scolded in private messages and criticized in the comment section. They said I was greedy for cheap and the quality of the products I bought was not good. Okay… whatever they say, I will still tell the truth.

\”One-piece slate basin\” does not actually have a true \”one-piece molding\”. The essence of slate is an \”enhanced version\” of ceramic tiles. To make such a right-angled basin, a large amount of adhesive is needed. To put it bluntly Yes, the so-called integrated basin means that it is made up of pieces. I can’t guarantee that all of them are like this, but most of them on the market are like this. If you don’t believe me, buy an integrated slate basin and look at the back.

▲Real shot of water leakage

The gaps are difficult to clean, scale easily accumulates, and the slope is small and the water is slow. The potential risk is that the gaps may leak, because you don’t know the rock you bought. What is the quality of the integrated basin? Moreover, such small leaks are not easy to detect, and the cabinet underneath may have been damaged by soaking.

My suggestion ②: One ​​thing to say is that the bleed resistance, hardness, and scratch resistance of slate countertops are among the best, and they do look classy. If you like it, you can choose \”slate countertops + ceramic undercounter basins\” , which is more durable and has many advantages such as appearance and easy cleaning.

Pure white epoxy colored sand for kitchen and bathroom floors

It will bleed and turn black. If the soup and oil stains are not cleaned immediately, they will easily seep in and become stubborn dirt. In the same way, white epoxy colored sand is not recommended for use in the bathroom.

I recommend ③:Kitchen and bathroom If you want to use epoxy colored sand for caulking, it is recommended to choose a dark color. If you want to use a light color, it is recommended to choose an ordinary caulking agent for the kitchen and bathroom area.

For example, although the white ordinary caulking agent used in the kitchen may turn yellow after a few years, compared with the white epoxy colored sand, it will also become dirty, and the caulking agent is easier to renovate. In the future, the cost of seam cleaning will be lower, and it will be easier to clean the air conditioners and water heaters when they are dirty.

Don\’t blindly follow the trend, just trying to be \”fake advanced\”, seriously ignoring the safety hazards caused by this design!

Let’s first talk about the air conditioner hanging package in the cabinet:

If the air outlet of the air conditioner is dripping during use, it cannot be discovered in time, and it will be a matter of time that the cabinet is damaged. (The cause of dripping is hot weather, and the alternation of hot and cold may cause water vapor in the air to condense. )

Secondly, the hanging machine is surrounded by cabinets and air circulation The effect will become worse and affect the cooling effect.

▲Balanced water heaters can only be installed in cabinets

Let’s talk about packing the water heater into the cabinet:

If your home is a \”forced exhaust\” water heater, don\’t design it like this, because its combustion requires inhalation of indoor oxygen, and the enclosed space affects the machine. Operation is too dangerous.

I suggest ④:Think To cover up the air conditioner, it is recommended to choose a central air conditioner or a duct machine. These are ceiling-type air outlets, which are more beautiful and save space.

▲Detailed explanation of the difference between forced row mode and balanced mode

If you really think that the water heater does not look good when hanging in the kitchen, you have to buy a \”balanced\” water heater. This type of water heater has a double-layer pipe, with one layer of air inlet and one layer of exhaust. Both pipes lead to the outside. Therefore, there is no need to dissipate heat or exhaust indoors, so covering it is not a big problem.

For safety reasons, be careful and try not to put them in cabinets, so that they can be easily inspected and repaired.

Lock-locked pure wood flooring throughout the house

Wood floors are laid throughout the house, and composite floors can be laid throughout. After all, there is no edge strip at the bottom of the door opening, so the integrity is better and the visual effect is more beautiful.

But if For pure log lock-type floors, it is really not recommended to choose full-length floors. Simply put, natural wood has a certain water absorption rate and will expand and contract more with heat.

• The original wooden floor expands due to heat. Once the reserved expansion space is too small, it is easy to squeeze, deform and bulge.
• Especially this kind of locking type, once it arches, it is not easy to repair. If it is a whole house To replace a single board, almost half of the floor of the home needs to be removed, and the locking type is easy to break, so the only option is to replace it with a new one.

I recommend ⑤: If you like the effect of paving the whole house, don\’t use pure log lock-type flooring, just choose composite flooring and multi-layer flooring. As for the environmental protection factor, you can refer to this for the same brand: three-layer solid wood > eight-layer solid wood > laminate flooring.

Pursue RingIf you want to maintain the texture and feel of your feet, you can choose log lock flooring (the lock itself has a certain ability to resist deformation), but remember that it is recommended not to open the floor inside and outside the room, and use edge strips to block shrinkage seams, which is actually quite beautiful.

Shower door opens inside

For most families, opening the shower room is not a big problem, but if there are elderly people at home, there will be some hidden dangers . Some elderly people are in poor health. If they accidentally slip and fall while taking a bath, it will be difficult to open the inward-opening shower room door.

If you want to open it, it\’s not impossible. You have to use enough force from the outside to squeeze the side strips and pull the entire shower room door out (you can also remove the strips if conditions permit), because the shower The hardware hinges of flat door doors can actually be opened and closed 180°. But what if no one in the family helps?

I recommend ⑥:Actually, I don’t understand why the shower room door must open flat. If you say it’s to save space, it can actually be a sliding door.

Like those on the market Common straight-shaped, diamond-shaped, and fan-shaped shower rooms can be designed as sliding doors, which really saves space and is safer.

Pure solid wood bathroom cabinet for bathroom

The pure solid wood bathroom cabinet I bought at home deformed after one month of moving in… It is really a model of \”fake sophistication\”. The horizontal plates are bent, causing the drawers and cabinet doors to be squeezed and cannot be opened or closed. Not…

I recommend ⑦: Pure solid wood cabinets are made of real materials and are more environmentally friendly, but they are really not suitable for use in areas with large moisture vapor such as kitchens and bathrooms. If your bathroom is also relatively humid, it is actually best to choose aluminum cabinets. OK.

Very durable , even if it becomes moldy and dirty after being soaked in water, it can be easily wiped and looks like new. It can be easily rinsed with water and is particularly easy to take care of.

Write at the end:

Many home designs appear to be exquisite, but are actually unreasonable. I hope you can learn more before decorating to avoid encountering such pitfalls. Thanks for reading!
