Some small details about renovating in winter

Many consumers have concerns about whether to choose to renovate in the cold winter. Industry insiders believe that as long as some details are paid full attention to during winter renovation, the effect will not be worse than in other seasons. Moreover, it may also avoid the "crowding" of peak season renovation and fully enjoy the better design and construction services of home decoration companies.

When laying floor tiles in winter, it is important to leave a certain amount of construction gap. This is to prevent the floor and tiles from bulging due to moisture and expansion when the rainy season comes. Industry insiders believe that generally, when it comes to wooden floor construction, workers will pay attention to leaving gaps, but sometimes they tend to overlook this issue when it comes to tiles. To avoid leaving gaps that affect the appearance, the gaps can be left near the base of the wall. Then, the method of laying tiles first and then the base plates can be adopted, and the base plates can be used to cover the construction gaps.

Apart from floor tiles, cement is also a "disaster area" that is easily affected by winter temperatures. For cement surfaces with large spans, such as over 4 square meters, a one-millimeter expansion gap should be reserved. When constructing large-sized houses without heating equipment, an appropriate amount of environmentally friendly antifreeze can be added to the cement to eliminate the adverse effects of temperature.

Compared with other main materials, wooden products are more susceptible to the influence of humidity and temperature to prevent deformation. To prevent the moisture in wood from evaporating and causing it to expand and deform easily during the humid season, a solution can be adopted by applying a primer to the wood to ensure that the moisture content remains at a relatively reasonable level of 5% to 8%.

At the same time, due to the cold and dry weather in winter, people seldom open doors and Windows, and the dust inside the room will be more serious. Although this will not have much impact on the finished construction, it will cause certain interference to the on-site painting project, greatly reducing the smoothness of the paint surface. Therefore, industry insiders suggest that during winter construction, it is advisable to choose the method of having finished products delivered by manufacturers as much as possible to reduce on-site construction.

Indoor environmental protection should be well maintained. Due to the frequent closure of doors and Windows during winter construction and the need for heating, it is easy for harmful substances from interior decoration to be difficult to be discharged, causing harm to the homeowners. To avoid this situation, on the one hand, it is necessary to fully ensure that there is sufficient empty ventilation time before moving in. On the other hand, some plants that can absorb harmful substances can be placed to purify the indoor air. If conditions permit, it is advisable to conduct an indoor air quality test before moving in to ensure that the living environment is free of toxins and healthy.
