When decorating an old house, the original budget would often not be enough, because in addition to the basic decoration, the old house may also involve demolition, structural transformation and large-scale water circuit transformation. These complex renovation projects have increased the overspending of old houses. Possible.

In general, the price of the old house decoration will be 10%-20% higher than the new house decoration. However, in fact, there are a lot of available parts in the original decoration of old houses. If we maintain the current status of this part of the renovation or minimize changes, we can save a small amount of money.

Calculate the details of the old house transformation is more "economic"

Demolition of the old decoration, wall treatment, structural transformation, water circuit renovations make second-hand housing renovation expensive. In fact, the decoration of second-hand houses does not need to be costly, because there are still places that can be used in the old renovations. To use them, the entire renovation cost will be much more economical.

To meet the needs of use to minimize changes

For the second-hand housing renovation, once there is a change, it may bring no small cost, so the most economical way to renovate second-hand housing is to change the existing layout of the home as little as possible, but only if it can meet the needs of family members. Based on demand. If you want to reduce the cost of "sacrificing" the use of future functions, it will bring great inconvenience to your life.

So, what steps can be taken in the renovation of second-hand housing to reduce changes and reduce costs?

â–  Kitchen tiles

The cost of kitchen and bathroom tiles can account for at least 10% of the cost of the main material, so if the original decoration of the second-hand house does not last long, the tiles used by the kitchen and bathroom do not have a lot of empty drums and fall off, and the style is not out of date. replace. Replacing easily prone parts such as ceilings in kitchen and bathroom spaces with new materials will refresh the entire kitchen space.

â–  Wall treatment

Most of the old-fashioned second-hand housing walls will be cracked. The cause of cracking lies in the treatment of the grass-roots walls. If the walls are non-water-resistant putties that are easily ashed and powdered out, then such walls will need to be redone. However, if the original wall is water-resistant putty, you can consider using local patch to prevent cracking, the cost of the patch is roughly ten yuan per square meter.

â–  Waterway reconstruction

The waterway reform can be described as a “major surgery” for second-hand housing, so it costs a lot. Generally speaking, the home improvement company renovates the waterway according to the difference between the bright and dark pipes, and the price ranges from roughly RMB 890 to RMB 100 per meter. Therefore, minimizing the waterway reform will greatly help reduce the overall renovation cost.

Whether the water pipeline needs to be transformed must first check whether the existing waterway layout meets the needs of family members. If it can meet the requirements, the existing waterway position can be maintained. And then check the material of the water pipe, many of the old house's water pipe is galvanized pipe, this pipe will produce rust in the pipe wall after many years of use, affect the water quality, and the galvanized pipe will also "sweat" in the summer, There will be a large amount of water droplets on the outside of the wall. If it is not treated with anti-corrosion and moisture, it will cause the wall to be damp.

â–  Circuit Modification

Circuit renovation is also the highlight of the renovation of old houses. Judging whether or not the circuit needs to be transformed is very important. It not only involves the increase in the overall cost of renovation, but more importantly the safety of household electricity in the future.

Most of the old houses that have reached the age of 20 to 30 years are mostly only one circuit. Such switches and sockets are dangerous to use in the way they “share” a single wire, which can easily lead to excessive circuit loads. Old wires can also cause fires. .

At present, the circuit layout of most households is divided into three sections: the switch, the socket, and the high-power electrical appliances. The wire diameter is 2.5 square millimeters. If the old house circuit is such a layout, the circuit can be considered as a whole. For customs clearance, you can increase the number of sockets and switches to meet the demand for electricity.

However, the 2.5mm square wire load limit is roughly 5,500 watts, so the choice of bathroom, kitchen appliances must consider its power, such as the use of hot water heaters in the bathroom, 2.5 mm square wire is far from enough. Therefore, it is imperative to communicate with the hydropower designer when reconstructing the circuit. Carefully consider the power needs of family members.

Toilet drainage is not free to change

Some old bathrooms are side drains, and such toilets have much higher floor height than the living room and bedroom. Once the changes will affect the floor structure of the bathroom, it will even cause inconvenience to the use of the downstairs tenants, so this kind of drainage method cannot be arbitrarily changed. At the same time, if you change your squat toilet to a toilet, you will need to do it again.

Key monitoring hidden project

Water circuit reconstruction and other hidden projects will directly affect the future use of life. Therefore, it is necessary to guard against sticking during the transformation process. After many years of use, the old house will be old and may leak water. After waterproofing is completed, a 24-hour water-repellent test must be performed to verify that the waterproof layer is intact. In general, the waterproof layer of the shower is 1.8 meters, the height of the other wall waterproof layer is 1 meter, and the waterproof height of the floor is 30 cm.

If the waterway is not reformed during the renovation, it is also necessary to check if the waterproof layer is intact. During the decoration process, holes, grooving and other actions may damage the waterproof layer. Therefore, if the second-hand housing is used to remove the decoration steps of the tiles, the water-repellent test should be conducted again to ensure that the original waterproofing is not a problem.

After the circuit is completed, it is necessary to check whether each socket, switch can be used normally, and whether the installation position meets the original requirements.

Heating needs to leave cooling holes

Some top floor old houses have heating pipes that affect the interior appearance. The easiest way is to wrap the pipes near the roof as ceilings.

It should be noted that the circulation and flow rate of these heating pipes tend to be better than the radiators, so they will make the winter home warmer. Enough heat dissipation holes must be provided to wrap the heating pipes. This will not only allow the hot air to flow out, but also prevent cracks and deformations of the gypsum board ceilings from being “baked” by hot air for a long time.

Remodel brick and mortar houses to be cautious

Breaking walls and knocking on the ground are often inevitable projects for the renovation of old houses, but some old houses in brick-concrete structures need to be especially cautious when they are being demolished. The wall of the brick-concrete structure first plays a role in load-bearing earthquake resistance, and secondly, it is the function of enclosing partitions. If only the load-bearing wall is destroyed in order to achieve an ideal spatial pattern, the weight bearing and seismic resistance of the wall will be weakened, resulting in potential safety hazards.

Therefore, in the process of demolition, renovation and refurbishment, we must take into account the housing structure and safety issues, and we should boldly innovate on this basis. Otherwise, once we “move hands”, it will cause irreparable damage.
