Guide to Avoiding Pits in Decoration: Uncovering the Difficult Problems of Hydropower Transformation in Traditional Home Decoration

Today, let's talk about the first step of renovation-hydropower transformation.

Hydropower is a major item in the decoration process. This key concealed project, Xiaobai must not be careless, and avoid the pit below, so as to carry out the follow-up project with peace of mind!

Hydropower to transform those? "pit"

1, water pipe materials, imported brands must be good?

At present, there are many kinds of water pipes on the market, except the differences of profiles and brands. At present, most imported water pipes are repackaged in China, not imported, and their construction technology and materials have been localized.

Before avoiding the pit, it is recommended to go to the market for investigation, knowing fairly well. There is no need to blindly believe in imported brands, and domestic manufacturers are doing well.

Love space water circuit main materials, water pipes and wires are well-known brands in China.

2. Is the "wall thickness" and "diameter" of water pipes really important?

Many companies publicize the wall thickness of water pipes, such as "the wall thickness is 3.4mm and the outer diameter is 25 (20 pipes are mostly used in the market)", thus increasing the unit price of waterways. So the wall thickness and outer diameter of the water pipe are not important?

Pit avoidance tips In fact, the price of water pipes with a wall thickness of 3.4mm and a wall thickness of 2.8mm is not much different. The construction area is1.20m2, and the difference between the two water pipes is not more than that of 500 yuan. Theoretically, the thicker the pipeline, the better, but it will not affect the engineering quality.

3, water and electricity pipeline must be on the top?

Generally, we will advise you to take the water and electricity to the top, so that you can see it clearly and facilitate the later maintenance. This seems to be the standard of formal hydropower practice, but can't it be done without going up and down?

Pit avoidance tips depend on the situation. For example, some styles are not suitable for suspended ceilings, and the top of water pipes will affect the decoration effect. When the budget is tight, water pipes are relatively economical. Love space standardization home improvement will connect the water circuit when the housing conditions permit, which is not an additional service.

In order to facilitate the later construction, Love Space will mark the position of the electric pipe with seamless tape to prevent the later drilling from damaging the water and electricity pipe.

4, the budget mysterious water pipe fittings

In the process of waterway reconstruction, water pipe fittings are essential. Unfortunately, most companies only list the price per meter of outlet pipe when quoting water and electricity in the early stage, and will not clearly indicate the price of accessories.

Some decoration companies will settle accounts separately in the later hydropower survey, and the price is not cheap. In addition, there are projects similar to the "lamp cap line", which will generate expenses. Therefore, it is suggested that before construction, we must find out which ones are easy to ignore.

Pit avoidance tips Before signing a contract with the company, you can learn about the prices of bridge, interior lines and other accessories, and compare the prices of commonly used brands in the market to avoid inflated budgets in the later period.

5. What kind of wires need to be completely replaced?

Most rough houses and hydropower lines have passed the safety acceptance standards. When reconstructing the original wires, it is not necessary to replace all the wires by grasping the appropriate points.

In addition, all the wires were replaced, which not only produced construction waste, but also generated income for the decoration company.

It is suggested that the new house should be renovated for the first time in five years, and the wire part can be used completely. Therefore, it can be modified according to actual needs.

6. Is it best to lay water and electricity horizontally?

In the process of water pipe construction, it is undoubtedly necessary to consider the later installation and use safety, and it is horizontal and vertical. But for the circuit, horizontal and vertical is not the most ideal construction method, just beautiful.

It is suggested to bend the wires and pipes on the ground as far as possible to avoid the dead line that is not easy to pull, and it is not necessary to be horizontal and vertical, considering the later rerouting and convenient maintenance.

7, air conditioning line with 4 square meters.

The square of the line is the cross-sectional area of the guide line. Generally speaking, household lighting and sockets are 2.5 square lines. So is the air conditioning line like this?

Many companies will require that the air conditioning lines be replaced separately and rearranged from the position of the strong box. Under normal circumstances, the use of 2.5-square-wire sockets for air conditioners below 2 bedrooms can also ensure that there will be no problems during use. Moreover, the blank of the new house can only be delivered after the safety acceptance of water and electricity, and there is no need to completely replace the wires.

Pit avoidance tips If you use larger air-conditioning cabinets (> 2 units), the power of heating and heating pipes in winter is twice that of cooling. It is better to have a larger square wire. If you really have questions, remember to ask the developer or the property.

8. Is it necessary to reduce the noise of water pipes?

Is it true that some companies will emphasize the influence of noise reduction of toilet sewer pipes in the early stage?

If it is a toilet riser reconstructed from an old house, it is usually wrapped with red bricks before sticking the bricks. The red bricks have achieved a good noise reduction effect, so it is not necessary to remove them and use soundproof cotton for secondary treatment.

Pit avoidance suggests that most of the noise of the sewer pipe comes from the horizontal pipe at the top. It is suggested that before hanging the gusset plate in the bathroom, it should be treated with soundproof cotton, which is effective.

Pipes in dry area and wet area are wrapped separately to prevent noise. The highlight is that tiles are attached around the flue and exhaust check valve, which improves the flatness and sealing performance and can also prevent odor.

9. The strong and weak current box can't be shifted?

Whether it is the pre-design scheme or the post-decoration process, the location of the strong and weak electricity box has always been a headache, and we are likely to encounter the situation that the strong and weak electricity box is unreasonable and conflicts with the scheme. Many companies will advise the electric box not to be displaced, which will affect safety, or point out that changing the electric box will lead to the replacement of all lines and the cost is high. Is that so?

Tips for avoiding pits Generally speaking, the location of strong electric boxes is embedded in advance. If the main entrance line is long enough and the wall can be removed and changed, it is very simple to change the position.

In the case of weak current replacement, if the main line is not long enough, the overall replacement will increase the cost appropriately and can be considered comprehensively.

In addition, there are some details that can't be ignored in hydropower transformation for your reference.

Details that can never be saved in hydropower transformation

1, strong and weak current cross-section processing

Strong current and weak current intersect, so in order to avoid signal interference, it must be wrapped with insulating tin foil, and this detail cannot be saved. If you decorate with love space, you can also notice this detail in the housekeeper's daily construction report.

2, toilet water pipe roof insulation treatment

The top of the water pipes in the bathroom are all exposed pipes. When using exposed piping, in order to avoid the influence of temperature condensation on the gusset ceiling in the later stage, insulation film should be used during construction.

3. About the wall groove

The wall should be slotted in strict accordance with the standard, especially the horizontal slot should not exceed one meter. In order to save trouble, some hydropower masters directly cut transverse grooves from the wall, which directly destroyed the integrity of the wall and increased the risk of wall cracking in the later period. Try to avoid it!

Seemingly standardized, it actually destroys the slotting site of the wall (source network).

4. Change the disposal method after launch.

In many cases, the toilet sewer pipe will be replaced. It is suggested that a plugging device be coated around the improved sewer pipe to prevent the sewer pipe from leaking easily in the later stage.

In addition, there should be enough slope when launching, to prevent the slope of water pipes from being insufficient in the later period, and the backwater will have problems.

There are many "god pits" in the transformation of traditional home decoration hydropower. Decoration must be careful to avoid being pitted!
