1. Before redecorating the second-hand house, you must first ask the decorator to conduct a water-closing experiment on the bathroom to check the waterproof treatment ability. If there is water leakage, you must clean the machine to waterproof it again. Note that after waterproof treatment, you must wait until the ground is completely dry before you can stick tiles.
2. Waterway reconstruction After the waterway reconstruction is completed, be sure to check whether the connection is tight and there will be no infiltration; In the transformation of the circuit, if the house used aluminum wire before, it must be demolished, because according to national standards, the decoration must use 2.5 square millimeters of copper wire, and the wiring of high-power electrical appliances such as air conditioners should be taken separately by a 4 square millimeter wire. When burying wires in the wall, PVC insulated pipes must be used.
3, wall painting Generally, after buying a second-hand house, everyone has to repaint the wall. When redecorating the second-hand house and painting the wall, we must pay attention to the treatment of the wall foundation. It is best to level the original wall and coat the interface agent, which can play a good role in moisture prevention. Finally, paint the wall. The color of wall paint can be chosen according to your own hobbies.
4. Replacing doors and windows In general, doors and windows must be replaced after a certain period of use, because once the doors and windows are deformed, the safety of the items in the house cannot be guaranteed. If the doors and windows are deformed, consumers must replace them in time.
5. Add essential switches Nowadays, more and more electrical appliances are needed in the daily life of families. Therefore, when redecorating second-hand houses, we must appropriately increase the number of switches and sockets. It is best to plan ahead before decoration and fix the position of switches and sockets.
Second, the second-hand housing decoration matters needing attention
1, the wall structure cannot be demolished at will.
Some people think that it can be removed as long as it is not a load-bearing wall, but it is actually wrong. The so-called non-bearing wall refers to the wall composed of reinforced concrete column array frame. Non-load-bearing wall is a secondary load-bearing component, but it is also a very important support of load-bearing wall. Therefore, not all walls can be dismantled and changed at will.
2, the old wall must be removed.
These walls with mildew spots and obvious wall peeling are still being demolished. This will not only affect the appearance, but also cause harm to the human body.
3, the old house water circuit must be changed.
Some second-hand house sellers want to sell their houses probably because the houses are old and they want to buy new houses. The wires and water pipes in the house are probably aging. Some old houses are still brick-concrete walls, with irregular water and electricity layout and defective room structure.
The kitchen and bathroom must be waterproof.
Before the renovation of second-hand houses, the kitchen and bathroom should be tested for waterproofing. If there was no water leakage, the previous waterproof system was well done. If there is water leakage, it should be waterproof again. After waterproofing, when the ground is completely dry, tile will be laid for overall decoration. The waterproof treatment of kitchen and bathroom must be done well to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future.
5, doors and windows must be replaced.
Some people continue to use the original doors and windows to save money, which is a terrible thing. Maybe someone still has the key to the door, and one day they will come to open it. Pay attention to check whether the doors and windows are aging. If the material is solid, it can be repainted. If the paint film on the surface of steel doors and windows falls off and the main body rusts or cracks, it is best to tear it down and redo it.
6. Never seal the balcony at will.
