Problems needing attention in the renovation of old houses in rural areas

Many houses built in rural areas will be much better in quality than they are now, but they are slightly lacking in decoration, because there were not so many patterns before, and the most important thing for houses is to be strong. Therefore, for some old houses in rural areas, many people will choose to renovate rather than rebuild. Leave the useful, tear down the useless and rebuild. As for such house decoration, there are actually many precautions that need to be understood in advance. Today, Bian Xiao from Credit Home Improvement Network will tell you about the matters needing attention in the renovation of old houses.

A, demolition of old houses matters needing attention:

How to see if the wall is waterproof putty?

1, sprinkle some water on the wall and rub it with your fingers. If you can rub out white slurry, it is generally a putty that is not water-resistant. This must be eradicated.

2. You can also try to shovel the wall with a shovel. If it is easy to shovel down, it is generally waterproof putty and needs to be thoroughly removed.

The load-bearing wall is resolutely not allowed to be demolished. The consequences of demolition are very serious, affecting the overall structural safety of the building. The decoration smashed the load and the whole building collapsed. What do you think is a load-bearing wall?

1, generally speaking, the thickness of the wall below 12cm is mostly non-bearing wall, such as bathroom and kitchen, and the thickness of 24cm and above is load-bearing wall.

2. When you are uncertain, the most reliable thing is to look at the drawings and consult the property.

Second, the new precautions:

The cost includes cement, sand, labor costs, embedded steel bars, external steel mesh and double-sided plastering (plastering).

1, what is embedded steel bar?

Also known as wall planting reinforcement lacing, it is to implant steel bars into the wall when the new wall is connected with the original wall, so that the connection between the old and new walls is more stable and balanced. If it is not braced, it is easy to crack in the later stage.

2. What is the outer wire mesh?

Hanging steel wire mesh on the new wall and then plastering with cement can avoid cracking more than plastering directly.

Three, carpentry matters needing attention:

There are two kinds of keel of ceiling: wooden keel and light steel keel.

1, wooden keel

Low cost, easily available materials, light overall weight, ideal keel material after dry and fireproof treatment, simple treatment, and more complex ceiling modeling can be made.

2, light steel keel

The structural strength is relatively high, and the fireproof performance is superior. Moreover, most light steel keels are assembled on site, with high efficiency. In order to improve the service life of light steel, the surface of light steel keel is often galvanized.

If there are no special requirements, it is recommended to use light steel keel, and pay attention to avoid being replaced during construction.

Light steel keel: dragon brand, knauf, etc.

Gypsum board: Longpai, Knauf, Saint-Gobain, Taishan, etc.

Core boards: Bunny, Moganshan, Qiu Jin, etc.

Four, bricklayer matters needing attention:

1. There are two kinds of paving materials for wall and floor tiles: traditional cement mortar and special adhesive for wall and floor tiles. Adhesive is recommended for vitrified brick or low water absorption wall tile. Large-size vitrified brick needs heavy brick glue, and the back of tile is the best.

2. At present, according to the specifications of wall and floor tiles, there are different charging standards such as ultra-small, conventional and super-large. There are extra charges for diamond paving, art paving, waist line of wall tiles, tiles and floor tiles.

3. According to the different caulking methods and materials of wall and floor tiles, they can be roughly divided into white cement, caulking agent and caulking agent, and the prices are quite different. Beautiful seams have different pricing methods according to different colors: pricing by meters or pricing by square meters according to different specifications of tiles, which needs attention.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) Precautions for oil workers:

1. Is wall cement and interface agent the same thing? Is it necessary to brush it three times?

Strictly speaking, wall cement, wall treasure, wall friend and interface agent are not a product. The first three are interfacial agents, which are used to make the putty embedded in the back better adhere to the original wall. If painting the interface agent and then painting the wall is repetitive, only one project fee should be charged.

2. Why do you want to do plastering leveling after cement mortar leveling?

The leveling thickness of cement mortar is generally not less than 20mm, and the leveling thickness of gypsum is generally 10mm- 15mm, that is, the smaller pit on the wall is suitable for leveling with gypsum, and the larger pit on the wall is suitable for leveling with cement mortar first, and then leveling with gypsum. PS: Some quotations indicate that the leveling thickness is 5mm instead of 10mm- 15mm, and the excess part will be charged separately, which is additional. Please pay attention.

3. What may be tricky about wall leveling?

There is also gypsum leveling, which is divided into vertical leveling and smooth leveling. The leveling effect is different and the price is different. The leveling quotation defaults to Shunping, that is, the wall surface is flat with naked eyes, and there may be small cracks between furniture and wall surface. Under normal circumstances, Shunping is enough. How much is the leveling fee for gypsum leveling? 35-50, the effect is that the wall is completely flat, and the furniture and cabinets are completely attached to the wall without seams.

4. Why do you want to stick a grid cloth?

Similar to the principle of cement plastering and hanging steel wire mesh mentioned above, it is better to add grid cloth when gypsum leveling exceeds 10 mm to prevent wall cracking in the later period.

It is strongly recommended to halve the area of doors and windows.

In wall construction, doors and windows don't need to be painted completely, so when calculating the money according to the wall, you can subtract 1/2 of the door and window area, which adds up to a lot of money. In fact, some construction parties will be reduced, and some will not, which needs attention.

With regard to the renovation of old houses in rural areas, these five points for attention must be familiar with before construction to avoid stepping on thunder. The old houses in the countryside also bear the feelings of the older generation, so no matter how they are rebuilt, they must be discussed with their families. The above is what Bian Xiang Xiao told you about the matters needing attention in the renovation of old rural houses. I hope it will help everyone.
