Repairs without extra dirt

Repairs - a thing difficult. His result is usually a feeling of pride and satisfaction, but the process is often intimidating. One of the main reasons for "remontofobii" - tons of dirt, debris and dust that seems to inevitably have to fill your home. However, familiarity with modern technology and decoration using some simple guidelines will get rid of those fears. Outset: absolutely "sterile" means the repair has not yet been invented. Nevertheless, thanks to modern solutions can at times reduce the amount of debris and dust, even during the traditionally dirty work. For example, which replaced the cement, sand and alabaster dry mixture is allowed to prepare a working solution quickly and with minimal water usage. Their constituent binders provide an effective receipt of a homogeneous adhesive mass optimum consistency, after which the application is not dirt and stains. A special additives, including epoxy resin and, at times reduce the time of "setting", and Drying composition. Due to its qualities, dry mix today and spread extremely widely used for the preparation of putty and plaster (in particular, is the familiar and Vetonit Rotband), tile adhesive (for example, Unis), grout (Ceresit, Atlas, etc.), as well as other compositions . When the mixer is not needed if the "dry" technology for finishing the walls already widespread, then as a basis for the floor is still mostly used screed of cement-sand mortar. To create the page, you literally shoveled tons of cement, sand and water. The apartment is at the same time transformed into the likeness of the construction site during the rainy season. Buckle takes time, and pre-marking - a special expertise cement harden quickly, but if you get an uneven base, then all work will be undone. However, in this case, there are alternatives. For example, dry floors. With the formation of these slabs covered with a thick layer of dry backfill, defended by veiled parovlagoizolyatsionnym coated solid sheet. Finally, the top floor is laid. In contrast to the tie, the ground under the backfill does not require prior preparation - beating irregularities and sag, sealing small cracks, etc. If enough flat floor, instead of filling can be used slabs of extruded polystyrene. Have such floors and has one indisputable advantage: they are much easier to align, as may appear in this case it is easy to fix. However, most tech version - Adjustable floor. In this case, the basis for the coverage are the logs, such as wooden beams. They drilled holes into which bolts are screwed on a thread-rack. If the special wrench to rotate the bolts, lags rise or fall, so it is possible to set the floor level. On top of the stele and placed plywood laminate, parquet or linoleum. Floor boards and an array of wood flooring is often mounted and no floor. This floor is suitable for the fact that underneath it is possible to reach all home communication. Time - and you're done! Quite often accompanied by the replacement of repair of windows, especially in old houses. This is one of the most critical stages, and many customers in advance mentally prepared myself to the fact that after they have pretty sweat, removing dirt and taking out the trash. But in fact the installation of modern window designs, made by qualified experts - almost sterile operation. "The window is mounted in the frame so that the frame and the wall around the perimeter there is a gap that is filled with foam. Therefore, the need to "finalize" the opening with cement mortar is usually no - explains Leo Minullin, deputy commercial director PROPLEKS Group, Russia's largest producer of PVC window-profile of Austrian technologies. - Formed joints are glued vapor barrier tape, and for finishing using special solutions, such as plastic slopes, self-adhesive frames and flat strips. This technology allows you to completely give up painting and plastering work. " Thus, the most "dirty" part of the work - it is the dismantling of the old window unit. But now, all reputable window companies include this option for free (along with the removal of debris) in the standard package. "Additional services without increasing the overall cost of the work, become a common practice today, testifying to the seriousness and careful attention to customers" - said Leo Minullin. The specialist advises to carefully read the standard set included in the price, service window company before calling gager. This saves you from having to deal with housekeeping: will only remove the backing from the frame and sill. The whole process of assembling window assembly typically takes no more than two hours, and to change the windows in the apartment only one or two days. Therefore, major changes in the schedule to make repairs and do not have to. Remodelling - it's just addition to the replacement of windows, very often there is a desire (and sometimes necessary) to change the layout of the premises, for example, to erect additional barriers or to arrange in the doorway of interior arch. Today it is quite possible to implement without the traditional brick and mortar and trowel. Thus, in recent widespread modular design concepts, for example, on the basis of formwork made of galvanized steel profiles. They are rigidly fastened to the floor, ceiling and walls, and outside edged plasterboard - and a new wall is ready. Another possible solution - pazogrebnevye gypsum board (GWP). They are made of plaster in the shape of a cuboid, jointing and bearing surfaces which have grooves and ridges. Thus, the partition is going to like children's designer. To finish the new walls, you can use a modular alternative to traditional wallpaper - wall panels. They are fastened with small nails or glue. Incidentally, this is very practical: if the damaged one of the panels, you simply replace it with a new one. Previously, the only obstacle to the spread of such panels was their appearance: it was believed that they are not suitable for the home. But now things are changing. Thus, the American company B + N Industries has released a textured panel with volume patterns. Appeared on the market even graphic panels with different views. Another example - panels ISOTEX, used for walls and ceilings in residential and office buildings. The panels have a decorative finish paper or textiles, there are options for painting. Finally, a good solution in many cases will be ready modular partitions, which if necessary can be quickly dismantled or moved to another location. Our roof - the sky is blue If innovative technologies flooring and erect walls today only occur in everyday life, then they start to finish ceilings gradually replace the usual whitewash. Especially popular are ceilings - 100% "clean" technology, which allows not to worry about alignment and plastered ceiling and diversify options for decoration. "Today, at the height of fashion are stretched ceilings with an art-photo printing, - says Andrey Vernich, CEO of construction company" model of the sky. " - Among the images in the first place in popularity is sky with clouds. Look nice pictures with Biblical themes, old maps, a variety of butterflies and flowers. Popular and cardboard-gypsum composite structures with built-in stretch ceilings. " One of the latest innovations are undulating ceilings. The size of the waves is regulated individually. Remain valid and false ceilings. However, their use makes sense only if a space is sufficiently large height (3 meters or more). In addition, we must remember that a suspended ceiling with an empty air-gap tends to multiply any sound. To avoid this, you must fill in all the sound-absorbing cavity material. Tricks Finally, we can not forget about the different things you can do to minimize the amount of dirt and dust. For example, to remove from the ceiling of the old whitewash, with a roller to apply the water uniformly throughout its area. Give whitewashed absorb moisture, and then gradually remove the chalk layer with a spatula, re-wetting the surface in small areas, no more than 1 m2. No problem to get rid of old wallpaper or oil paint on the walls will help building a hairdryer. If you need to knock down the old plaster or cement to remove nodules, pre-moisten the desired area and let the water soak. Of course, take out the trash will still have, but here's the dust you will be spared. Before working on the walls and ceiling Cover the room with plastic wrap. You can even lock the perimeter with masking tape. When finished, simply fold the foil neatly together and knock out the garbage. If the repairs will be carried out not in the apartment, but only in one room or part thereof, you must first separate the work area from the living, for example, the veil of the film door. "Prior to replacing the windows in habitable room from furniture free space in front of window opening and remove its plastic curtain - advises Leo Minullin (PROPLEKS). - The junction of flooring can rub dry soap, which can be easily removed with the dust after work. " Make a repair is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance. The problem is that not everyone knows about new solutions, technologies and materials to perform the basic, traditional long-term, time-consuming and "dirty" work quickly and cleanly. And most importantly - without sacrificing quality. So do not be afraid of repairs, if all how to think through the process lose touch dirt and dust.
