Building materials need water recharge

In winter, the climate is relatively dry. Building materials and human skin need to be “moisturizing and waterproofing”. In the past, the old concept of people was not suitable for winter decoration. However, professionals believe that if the indoor temperature in winter is kept above 5°C, there will be no problem in decoration. Preventing dryness and replenishing water cannot be ignored, otherwise small problems can become a big problem!

â–  Symptom 1: Dry winter shrinkage on the floor

Because the wooden floor has the characteristics of “wet up and shrinking,” the gaps in the middle must be kept a little larger when laying wooden floors. Otherwise, in the summer, the wooden floors may suffer from “wet up” and squeeze each other. .

Countermeasure: 8mm distance from the wall when laying in winter

Analysis: According to Wang Jian, sales manager of Dewey flooring Xi'an, the laminate flooring must be installed in winter in accordance with national requirements, up to 8mm from the wall; if it is geothermal heating, first lay a layer of plastic film before laying the floor, and then cover the floor mat , but also to extend and extend 4 cm away from the wall, this is due to geothermal water vapor generated, if volatilized does not go out, will erode the ground and the floor; if it is pure wood or MDF baseboard, but also need Make four holes in the four corners of the room. Wang Jian said: "It is particularly necessary to say that if it is geothermal heating, it is best not to enlarge the area of ​​legless furniture because it will make the water vapor less volatile!"

â–  Symptom 2: Cracks in the wood

If the climate is dry in winter, if there is no proper treatment, fine cracks will appear on the surface of the wood, and the edges of the wood will shrink, affecting the appearance of the decorative panel.

Countermeasures: Sealing

Analysis: In the winter decoration, the wood arrived at the site should be placed in a ventilated place and sealed. Otherwise, the surface of the wood will be cracked due to the rapid loss of moisture. Dongxiao Risheng Engineering Manager Wang Xiaochun said that sealing oil treatment is not only in winter but also must be handled in other seasons. If you do not paint oil, then the cement and glue in the decoration process will stick to the wood, and it will be very troublesome to remove oil. After treatment, not only can the water be locked, but also the protection of the wood is not easily scratched.

â–  Symptom 3: Cement does not freeze and may freeze

In winter decoration, the indoor temperature must reach 5°C or more. If the temperature is not reached, the cement will not freeze and it may be frozen. When the temperature rises in the second year, the cement will lose its effect, causing the tiles to burst and bulge. .

Countermeasures: Buy electric heaters to maintain indoor temperature

Analysis: Li Chi, general manager of Longfa Decoration, said that the most important thing to notice in winter decoration is temperature. “Renovation companies generally add antifreeze to cement. The temperature must be above 5°C. If there is no heating in the community, the owner can buy an electric heater first. Of course, the temperature should not be too high. If water evaporates too quickly, it is not conducive to cement. Solidification above 5°C and below 20°C."

Symptom 4: Wall peeling after sweating

In the winter, scrape putty on the wall, be sure to wait until dry and then brush the paint, otherwise the wall is easy to "sweat" there will be peeling, back to alkali, from the bag and so on.

Countermeasures: spend 2~7 days waiting for putty to completely dry

Analysis: According to professionals, putty must be dry, or even brush the paint, putty will continue to evaporate moisture, affect the emulsion paint film, the wall will appear from the package, peeling, there will be a piece of a fast, similar to small The child is like a trace of bed-wetting, so be sure to wait for putty to dry. At present, the home improvement company will apply an alkali-resistant primer after the putty is applied to prevent the wall from returning alkali.

â–  Symptom 5: Tile tiles fall off

When laying tiles in the winter, due to temperature problems, the condensation effect of cement and other materials will be affected, and there will be the phenomenon of tile tiles falling off. Therefore, it is necessary to do soaking treatment before paving tiles.

Countermeasure: spend 20 minutes soaking tiles

Analysis: Winter tiles and tiles must be soaked before paving, and must be saturated with moisture. Only in this way, the phenomenon of hollowing and falling off will not occur due to the weak adhesion between cement and cement due to the suction water. Ming Tao, director of training for Dongyi Risheng Engineering Co., Ltd., said: “If you do not do soaking, tiles will absorb slurry and affect the solidification effect of cement. In addition, whether it is a wall or a floor tile, you need to move from outdoor to indoor after 24 hours. When the temperature of the material is increased, it can be paved when it is adapted to the room temperature, so as to avoid emptying and falling off after construction.

Symptom 6: Cracked wallpaper

This phenomenon often occurs in the winter. After the wallpaper or wall covering just around the corner has been blown by the wind, it begins to show partial bulging, tilting, and even cracking and shedding.

Countermeasures: Make up water + dry

Analysis: Ming Tao said that during the winter decoration, wallpaper and wall cloth must be fully immersed in water before paving, and then brushing and plastering. After paving, you can't open doors and windows like summer, but close the window. Because the wallpaper glue contains water, if there is a hallway in the room, it will quickly dry the moisture contained in the wallpaper glue, thus reducing the effect of glue. . Therefore, after sticking wallpapers and wall coverings in winter, the owner needs to close doors and windows for 3 days, waiting for the walls to dry naturally.
