Repair in an apartment or private house is often compared to the disaster. Indeed, to survive this long with dignity and with many difficulties conjugate process requires considerable effort and financial costs. And very few people fully pays repairs at the mercy of interior designers and professionals from the construction firms. Much more often, Russians are free to decide how it will look an updated housing which use building and decoration materials, and maintenance crews hired by the voluntary varying degrees of skill and comprehension are trying to make it happen. The result of such repairs, planned and carried out by amateurs, often brings only disappointment and excessive costs. With the help of experts, we will try to make out important aspects of the renovation, which will hopefully help avoid the most obvious errors, save a lot of money and nerves get in the end housing, which is pleasant and comfortable stay. Light and heat, "If you do not repair a building, it will have to start completely replace electrical wiring, - said Ruslan Tikhonov, an electrical engineer of" Story-West. " - This is not to be afraid of a short circuit and increase the power consumption of appliances. There's too much copper wire is used, it is safer and more durable than the old aluminum. And all electrical appliances and outlets should be grounded in an apartment. " So you do not stumble on the extension, is to think of ways where the outlet will be located and how much they need. In practice, it turns out that most outlets required in the kitchen. Stove, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, kettle, toaster, TV and other appliances should be permanently connected to the network. So much detail you need to consider lighting the apartment, the location of switches, telephone outlets and TV antennas. Must maintain layout of the wiring - it comes in handy when you have to drill the wall to hang a new picture or shelf. At this stage of repair is to decide: Do I need an apartment in a "warm floor" and, if needed, where it was. According to the architect-designer Olga Labor, the most expedient under floor heating in the bathroom: "The feeling of cold tiles underfoot comfort and reduce threatening health problems. If the kitchen floor is made of tiles, the "warm floor" does not hurt, but it must be very carefully designed, around the refrigerator, and do not heat the kitchen furniture in vain. Heating is attributed to the 40-60 cm from the wall. " But in the hallway "warm floor" rather a luxury than a necessity, says the analyst. After all, you risk permanent damage the heater standing in the hallway shoes. Yes, and the load on the grid will be fairly large, not to mention the electricity bill. What we put on the floor? Before heading to the hardware store in search of a suitable floor covering, make sure the alignment of sex performed flawlessly. "This can be done as traditional wet method - screed of cement-sand mortar or concrete, and on dry technology, for example, using bulk floors of Knauf, - advises the architect-designer Olga labor. - For the living room floor the best option - cork or parquet. These eco-friendly coating will last a long time. The bathroom and the kitchen is to put the tiles - it is practical and beautiful. Hallway, I would advise granite - picture does not rub off on the street floor of sand and a long time to lose a good view. " However, according to some experts, in a modern apartment is a variety of floor coverings - it's yesterday. "The diversity of patterns and textures of the floor completely unjustified nothing! - Says designer Helen Talsunova. - In fact, few can boast a large flat. So what do you do it more visually less space? Do not be afraid to lay laminate flooring in the kitchen and the hallway! It is perfectly demolishes any movement, joints and further processed by moisture. As a result, you will have beautiful floors, this decoration. " In fact, now you can find a laminate with almost any color scheme and design. Experts Tarkett laminate manufacturer claim that the life quality coverage - at least 20 years. Only need to pay attention to his class durability. For example, the laminate 33 classes abrasion is suitable not only for ordinary apartments, but also for offices, which means that even the sharp stiletto heels of your guests it harmless. The most abrasion resistant ceramic tiles (Class 4 and 5 wear) and granite used for kitchen, hall, hallway or corridor. Tile in the bathroom is important reduced porosity. Laying tile, laminate flooring, or better left to professionals, too, than do yourself. Seemingly simple installation of flooring requires a trained eye and hand packed. Additionally, you may need additional insulation, the idea that comes to you with disgruntled neighbors below. Along with the choice of flooring designers are advised to buy moldings and doors. After installation of interior doors made taking into account the thickness of the flooring. Equally important is the color of the interior. It can be constructed on the contrast of the floor and the door or in full coincidence of their shades. The choice of windows Heat, light and quiet - that's three pillars of home comfort. Therefore, the choice of windows - a very responsible job in setting up a house or apartment. If the house were set up to repair old wooden windows with single glazing them without hesitation and regret, should change to modern heat-saving. Thanks to the tight glazed, seal between the frame and sash windows will save such a house from the cold, drafts, and at the same time and from the street noise. "In Central Russia, Siberia and the Far East would be the best choice of windows based on four-or five-chamber profile - says Rafik Alekperov, chief technology officer PROPLEX. - For example, the system PROPLEX-Comfort Plus allows you to install the windows warm up to a thickness of 52 mm. This provides protection from the cold, the street noise and reduces the cost of heating the apartment or country house. " If the traditional white plastic windows do not fit into your interior conceived in the style of Provence, or art deco, there is a good solution - dyed or laminated profile of various shades. For example, metallic silver, red, green or even imitating wood (mahogany, golden oak, etc.). In the window companies can always choose a color scheme windows, suitable for a design concept-to-date housing. It is also important to take into account that the installation of modern windows is not the place for performances. This is a complex regulated process, the quality of which depends largely on durability and serviceability of the windows of their work. So entrust the installation of new windows is only for professionals, which will make it in compliance with state standards and give a guarantee on their work. All variety of door first thing to consider when planning the layout of interior doors - these are simple rules that determine their location and order of opening. The main thing that they do not interfere with the passage, in whatever direction you may move. Any swing door should always open into the room, a corner or against a wall. Also, when attaching the doors to consider options for the planned placement of furniture. "A fully open door should not change the geometry of space", - says interior designer Olga Masalova. The fashionable craze - studio apartments without any division into the room and, accordingly, no interior doors. But before you take down all the barriers, it is necessary to weigh the "pros" and "cons" of living without doors. After all, once you have a baby, or you want to be alone with a book of football fans, and cooking smells from the kitchen corner, even in the most efficient hood will hover around the home, soaking in upholstered furniture and clothing. Perhaps the best solution in this case are the sliding doors of frosted or colored glass, rather than traditional wood. "Originally conceived as a sliding door way to optimize interior space and free up the maximum amount of free space in the room. Today, many Russians prefer it this easy and organic interior dividers, "- says Anna Mitin, a leading expert on the direction of working with architects and designers shops network door" Lendor. " According to him, in fact, the sliding doors are available today in three different variants of the method of opening. And only one of the structures suggests that the door to more space is needed, as the canvas on the wall will move. In other cases, it is either shifted to pencil box that plugs directly into the wall (or falshstenu) or goes inside the opening (if it is sufficiently wide, and two or more valves). An interesting option - folding doors, "books". Their resemblance to the popular once-folding screens can give retroanturazh modern interior. For example, the door-"book" from the factory FOA is suitable for the living room with wide access opening, or dressing room. A correctly designed and installed the door gives any room a completed form and will never be the "extra" piece. A wide selection of shops and an opportunity to make door-to-order can find a suitable solution for all occasions. So do not jump to conclusions: Choosing the right door is always in its place. Subject repair is truly inexhaustible. Constantly, new finishing materials, technologies, design approaches. One only remains the same - to save on quality of materials, the skill of workers does not lead to anything but frustration and unnecessary expenses. If pokleit wallpaper, change the shell or wall hanging, and you can yourself, installing windows, doors, floor installation and wiring should be dealt with exclusively by professionals. Only this approach will guarantee a decent result and postpone the next repair for decades.
