The first step for many homeowners is to buy a second home, but there are some things that we need to pay attention to if we are not careful, so what do we have to pay attention to when we demolish a house in Guangzhou?
The following let us go into the home renovation foundation project should pay attention to the matter of learning it.
Renovation of basic engineering considerations a, load-bearing walls must not move
A, we must remind everyone is that the load-bearing
The wall must not be moved, not even an empty should be opened. How to determine whether the wall is a load-bearing wall?
1, judged by the sound, knocking the wall, there is a crisp big echo, is a light wall, while the load-bearing wall should not have much sound.
2, judged by the thickness, the thickness of non-load-bearing walls is significantly thinner than load-bearing walls, generally in about 10 cm thick. Load-bearing walls are generally thicker, second only to the exterior walls. Thickness and it is the same as the basic are load-bearing walls. Generally speaking, when the load-bearing wall is a brick wall, the thickness is 24cm, and the concrete wall structure thickness is 20cm or 16cm.
3, judged by the parts, external walls are usually load-bearing walls, and the walls shared with neighbors are also. The general non-load-bearing walls in the bathroom, storage room, kitchen and aisle .
Renovation of basic engineering considerations two, find a specialist to do more money
The general renovation company’s offer for demolition work is a square meter calculation, if the home demolition large, looking for a renovation company is not cost-effective. In addition, the demolition of the old things should also be taken seriously, do not think that the demolition of things useless just throw away or let workers take away, even if the family is no longer used, you can first go to the scrap recycling station to ask about the price, may help you save more money.
Decoration basic engineering considerations three, cement purchase know-how
As a basic material in home improvement projects, it is very important to buy good products. When buying cement, be careful not to counterfeit, in addition to the regular market to buy, but also to test again before buying, first check the weight (generally cement is 50 kg bag); in addition, you can also go to some samples to do a test, the cement will be mixed with water, 6 to 12 hours, to see if it will clump. If it is powdery, it means it is a counterfeit product, or a product that has expired and deteriorated.
Renovation of basic engineering considerations four, red brick package water pipe most save money
Many decoration companies will use “light steel keel + cement board” or “wood keel + cement board” practice, but most people will find after a period of time the tile diagonal cracking. In fact, it is better to use inexpensive red brick or clip air brick to “bucket masonry” (i.e., with brick standing masonry, in order to reduce the footprint) the practice to wrap the standpipe, and then smoothed with cement sand ash outside, not only to save costs, and effectively solve the problem of cracking tiles out of the corners, but also very strong and durable. This method can also be used for other partition walls in the house.
