It is undesirable to repair walls in rooms and sanitary facilities.
After the shrinkage period is over, you can begin major repairs. First of all, you need to make a plan for repair work.
It is necessary to start with the replacement of window blocks. In new buildings, they don't put window frames, which are called "permanent". In order to make construction cheaper, the developer installs frames that are not quite high-quality. They need to be replaced, all cracks will be sealed with mounting foam, slopes will be arranged. The frames must be installed in accordance with the weather conditions in one or another region. The wind should not "walk" in the apartment.
The next stage should be the repair of the walls. They are leveled and treated with materials that will protect the home from excess moisture and mold. You can do this work yourself. Today, finishing materials are sold in any construction store. Consultants will tell you how much is needed to finish a certain area. Appropriate materials will be selected.
After finishing the walls, it is necessary to repair the ceilings. Today, stretch ceilings are the best option. This is a quick, convenient and practical way of decorating the ceiling space.
Underfloor heating is often installed. Specialists will advise which option is suitable for your apartment.
In the process of repairing the walls, ceiling and floor, it is necessary to deal with electrical wiring and pipes. Communications are placed in tracks in the walls and floor. Excess wires are "hidden" in the ceiling. This will save apartment owners from tripping over wires on the surface. Wires for wiring around the apartment are laid in the holes in the walls.
At the final stage, the walls of the kitchen area, kitchen, and plumbing rooms are decorated. Plumbing fixtures and doors are installed.
