With arrival of spring and warming weather, many homeowners are planning to start renovations. Spring can be called peak season for finishing, and temperature and humidity are more suitable for construction. Every season needs a refresh, and spring is no exception. Let's take a look at the precautions for spring decorating!
1. Pay attention to fire safety
Materials are best stored in a cool and dry place, away from sources of fire, and provided with appropriate fire fighting equipment. Pay attention to safety of using electricity and do not get tangled in wires. Smoking and open flames are prohibited on site. To use refractory materials, be sure to select materials that meet national safety standards to minimize the risk of fire.
2. Pay attention to ventilation
In construction, we will use a lot of paint. If it is a closed and poorly ventilated area, harmful gas contained in paint will not be easily emitted and will be collected in large quantities in room. mix with air and easily form an explosive gas. A mixed gas explodes easily on contact with an open flame.
3. Keep room dry
Because weather is hot and humid in spring, water vapor is heavy. Therefore, during construction, try to keep air in room dry, you can buy dehumidifiers for use. If room is too humid, drying rate of paint will slow down, and after paint absorbs moisture from air, a layer of fog will form. Latex paint is not easy to dry, and if not properly handled, it will become moldy and smelly.
4. When finishing, take good care of waterproofing
When many families do renovations, wall and floor tiles in original bathroom will be broken and new tiles will be installed. In this way, it is necessary to make waterproofing on wall and floor of bathroom. The bathroom floor should be leveled before waterproofing to avoid leakage of waterproofing coating due to uneven thickness. The wall surface must be waterproofed and a closed water test must be carried out. If there is a problem with quality of waterproofing, it will affect next room or even neighbors downstairs.
5. After decorating, you need to remove smell
There will be various problems in spring decoration that cannot be dispelled, which will affect people's health. It is suggested that after decoration, more green plants can be placed, or 2-3 lemons, oranges and bananas can be placed in room, which will have a quick deodorizing effect.
