The main mistakes in the repair of the apartment

The money was spent, the material was spoiled, the repair brought continuous disappointments ..

Unfortunately, the described situation is familiar to many firsthand. Any owner of the apartment sooner or later faces the need to repair. And he will often learn about the existence of a large number of “underwater stones” at the end of the repair. What typical renovation errors can be avoided if you know about them in advance?

First of all, it is necessary to study as much information as possible about the difference in heights. When moving plumbing, the height difference should be at least 3 cm per 1 meter for a normal outflow of drained water, and when laying the flooring, the difference, on the contrary, should be minimal to avoid trouble during the operation of the floor.

Often, during the repair in the apartment, many plasterboard structures are built – this is also a decorative design of the ceiling, the device of niches in the walls, division of space using partitions. However, in the future it will be impossible to hang a TV in such a niche or attach a heavy crystal chandelier to the ceiling. The fact is that drywall is not intended for large loads, so it is better to discuss a place for attaching something in advance with a construction team. In this case, even at the stage of the construction of drywall structures, it will be possible to find out the location of the metal guides or to specifically construct the frame in the necessary way, so that the fastening of heavy objects becomes possible. Also, do not forget that for the repair of wet rooms a special drywall with a moisture -proof coating is required. However, even in this case, drywall needs additional impregnation with water -repellent compositions.

In any case, it is impossible to study all the nuances of repair skills in a short time. Perhaps cooperation with specialists of construction companies will avoid many mistakes and surprises in such a difficult business as repairs.
