Copywriting Editor丨 Gaogong talks about decoration

There are many cold knowledge that is easily overlooked in decoration, but it can greatly improve the living experience or avoid traps. The following has compiled some super practical decoration cold knowledge to help you avoid detours:

1. Cold knowledge of hidden engineering

① Double-layered waterproof layer

It is recommended to brush the bathroom wall to 1.8 meters, and make double-layer waterproof (flexible + rigid) on the ground. The corners and pipe roots are reinforced with leak-blocking king. The water-closing test is at least 48 hours.

Unpopular points: The waterproofing made by developers must be shoveled out and redone! The materials used by developers are usually poor, and direct tiles are prone to falling off.

②Don\’t save money when water and electricity pipelines

Please choose PPR material for water pipes, use BV wires (single-strand hard wires), and do not choose BVR (multi-strand soft wires). Wrap tin foil at the intersection of strong and weak electricity to prevent interference? In fact, it is psychological comfort, it is better to have a spacing of more than 30cm directly.

③ Correct method of sound insulation cotton in the sewer pipe

First wrap the pipe with a damping piece, then the sound insulation cotton, and finally fix it with a tie. Only wrap the sound insulation cotton in half, and the sound of flushing upstairs is still clear.

2. Cold knowledge of material selection

①Buy more tiles, but don\’t buy less

Buy more tiles after calculating the amount of tiles. Different batches may have color differences, and unsoaked tiles can be returned.

Hidden points: Water pouring on the back of the tiles to test the water absorption rate. If the water seeps quickly, it means the quality is poor (ceramic tiles). Use with caution.

②The money-saving secret of latex paint

Imported paint has a high premium, and the mid-range series of domestic big brands (such as Nippon and Dulux) is enough for household use.

Unpopular points: Environmental protection is \”Ten Ring Certification\” rather than \”0 Formaldehyde\” gimmick. Open windows for ventilation after painting, it is easy to crack. It is recommended to dry in the shade for 3-7 days.

③Add a concealed brace in the kitchen countertop

The quartz countertop is padded with metal keels or lining plates, so the countertop is not prone to break when chopping bones.

3. Space optimization cold knowledge

① Don’t copy the standard for wardrobe depth

The wardrobe depth is 55cm, but northerners have many thick coats, so it is recommended to do 60cm to avoid being closed.

②Use of space behind the door

A width of more than 20cm is reserved behind the bedroom door, and can be used as thin cabinet storage and cleaning tools or small objects, which are invisible and practical.

IV. Knowledge of environmental protection and health

① Formaldehyde release cycle is up to 15 years

The most effective way to remove formaldehyde is ventilation, rather than green ivy or activated carbon. When the window is high temperature and humidity in summer, it is better to close the window and then open the window to ventilate.

②Buy glass glue by yourself

The glass glue brought by workers is usually of poor quality and is prone to mold and yellowing. Purchase mildew-proof neutral glue (such as GE, WACKER) online in advance, and use it for toilet and basin edges.

③ Curtains also have formaldehyde

Brightly colored curtains may contain formaldehyde. Soak them first and then hang them after buying them. Choose physical blackout (interlayer black silk) for the blackout blinds, and choose chemical coating to block them.

5. Knowledge of saving money and avoiding pits

① Ceramic tile corner strips vs. chamfering

Stainless steel strips for tiles save money and prevent collisions, but have low appearance; the 45-degree chamfering process cost is high but beautiful, and it is easy to collapse porcelain in the later stage. Choose according to budget.

②Do not replace the anti-theft door

If the quality of the developer\’s anti-theft door meets the standards, changing the lock core (C-class) is more cost-effective than changing the door. Poor sound insulation of the door? Just attach a seal strip.

③Flooring is risky

Wood floors are more than 8 meters long and easy to arch, so it is recommended to use a strip to separate the space. Laminated floors have high cost performance, but don’t choose thin plates below 8mm.

6. Cold knowledge of lighting design

① Install light strips under kitchen hanging cabinets

Avoid backlighting when cutting vegetables, reserve circuits in advance or install induction charging lights.

②The color temperature difference between the whole house is no more than 500K, and it is recommended to have 3000K (warm yellow)-4000K (natural light). The cool white light is like an office, use it with caution!

7. Details that are easily overlooked

① Inverted sockets are more practical

Under the desk, the air conditioner socket is installed upside down (plug facing down), which is easy to plug and unplug and the wires are more concealed.

Pople a basin of water after laying the tiles to see if it flows to the floor drain. It’s troublesome to rework by water accumulation, don’t wait to check in before you discover it!

8. Cold knowledge of seasonal construction

① Benefits of winter decoration

Winter wood has low moisture content and is not easy to deform; the paint is slow to dry and the paint surface is more delicate. But be careful when the room temperature is below 5℃.

②Don\’t install wooden floors during rainy season

The air humidity is high, and the wooden floors are prone to expansion. If there is insufficient joint after installation, it will cause bulging.
