Prevent cutting corners

1 Substrate processing

Steal workers index: ★★★★★

Phenomenon: Before applying latex paint and paving wall tiles, we must do a good job of substrate treatment. Some workers cut corners and cut materials in this regard during construction, and the unevenness caused uneven wall surface. After the paint is applied, there is a color difference, and when it is heavy, the latex paint is discolored and peeled, or the ceramic tile is not firmly bonded.

Experts advise: In the construction of paving tiles, you should pay attention to the fact that ceramic tiles cannot be laid directly on the surfaces of lime mortar, lime plaster, paper lime plaster, hemp stone mortar and latex paint. Can be laid. Bonding pastes used between tiles and substrates should be formulated in strict accordance with the construction standards and proportions, using the specified grades of cement and adhesive materials, and they cannot be randomly deployed.

When applying latex paint, you must pay attention to whether the shading of the wall putty is even and smooth, whether the sanding and rolling are in place. In addition, you should pay attention to whether the latex paint is properly proportioned.

2 Ground leveling

Steal workers index: ★★★★★

Phenomenon: Some houses are not well-grounded and need to be re-leveled during the renovation. If the workers are not careful or intentionally sloppy, it will cause “more and more inconvenience”. In addition, the cement mortar used in construction will greatly increase the ground load and cause hidden dangers to the safety of the building.

The expert reminds: Before ground leveling, ground surface treatment must be done first, and then use cement mortar to level the ground. After the cement is dry, determine the flatness of the entire floor using a dedicated level ruler, and then proceed to the next step.

3 facet processing

Steal workers index: ★★★★☆

Phenomenon: The so-called "small face" is a small place that some consumers can't see and can't pay much attention to, such as the upper edge of the door, the underside of the window sill, and the inside of the heating cover. Some workers will be here. If you cut corners, you will not even do anything.

Experts advise: Remember that there are 6 planes for any object. Don't ignore any details when checking the quality of the project.

4 wire wear tube

Steal workers index: ★★★★☆

Phenomenon: In home renovation construction, almost all wires are put in pvc tubes and buried in the walls. Therefore, after the electric wires are put into the pvc tubes, the consumers cannot see them at all, and it is difficult to replace them. If the worker is not careful in the operation, it will cause the wire to kink in the tube, causing electricity hazards. If workers intentionally cut corners, they would use wires with joints or put several wires in the same pvc pipe.

Experts advise: Consumers are advised to purchase their own wires, then supervise workers' operations at the site, and conduct power-on tests after installation. In addition, consumers must allow the decoration company to leave a "pipeline map." When the electrician had just buried the wires in the wall, he could number the walls and draw a plan. Then he used the strokes to draw the direction and the specific location of the wires, indicating the position on the floor, the ground and the adjacent wall. In particular, the position of the joints of the pipelines should be marked so that in the event of a fault, the line position can be found immediately.

5 seam modification

Steal workers index: ★★★★

Phenomenon: In some places where the wall meets with doors and windows, and where two different colors of paint are docked, it is also where the workers often perfunctory. You will often see mixed paints between latex paint and wood, with various problems at the joints.

Experts advise: The treatment of joints is very important, you must supervise the workers to seriously construct. If there are two colors of paint on the wall facing each other, it is necessary to apply adhesive tape on the edge of the first color during construction, and then apply another color of paint on it, so long as the construction is completed. After tearing off the tape, the entire seam can be very neat.

6 Wall tick

Steal workers index: ★ ★ ★ ☆

Phenomenon: The buried pipeline must be slotted on the wall and ground before the pipeline can be buried. A few workers perform barbaric construction during the grooving operation, which not only damages the building load-bearing structure, but also may cause damage to other nearby pipelines.

Experts advise: Before construction, we must reconfirm the direction and location of the pipeline with the construction team leader. For different wall structures, the requirements for slotting are not the same: the walls of the load-bearing wall in the house are not allowed to be slotted, and the wall with the insulating layer can easily cause cracking on the surface after the slot is grooved, and on the ground Slotting, but also be careful not to damage the floor, causing trouble to the residents downstairs.

7 Wall tiles

Steal workers index: ★ ★ ★

Phenomenon: Paving tiles is a technical process. If workers cut corners, they are most prone to problems such as empty tiles, missing seams, and cement and adhesives used for laying tiles. If the ratio is unreasonable, there will be problems such as shedding. Experts reminded: According to the Beijing Municipal Construction Committee promulgated the "family home decoration project quality acceptance standards", requires that the tile paving should be flat and solid, clear patterns, no dirt and paste marks, the surface color is basically the same, uniform seams, plate crack-free , drop angles and missing edges, local emptying may not exceed 5% of the total.

8 wire connector

Steal workers index: ★ ★ ☆

Phenomenon: When the electrician installs sockets, switches and lamps, it does not wire according to the construction requirements. In particular, when consumers use some electric appliances such as water heaters and air conditioners that consume large amounts of electricity, the switches and outlets are heated and even burned, causing great losses to consumers.

Experts advise: In the construction of the supervision of electricians in strict accordance with the operating procedures for construction, after all the switches, sockets installed, be sure to carry out the actual use to see if these parts have a fever phenomenon.

9 sewage pipeline

Steal workers index: ★ ★

Phenomenon: During the renovation of the construction team, in order to save time, a large amount of concrete, sand, and concrete fragments are poured into the sewer. The direct consequence of this is a serious blockage of the sewer, causing the kitchen and bathroom to run out of water due to poor water. Although some projects have no problem in the final acceptance, there are always problems with poor water.

Experts reminded: Strict supervision of the construction team, can not use the sewer as rubbish use. After the construction of the waterway is completed, all the basins, basins, and bathtubs are filled with water, and then water-proofed to see if the water is unobstructed and if there is any leakage of the pipes.


10 Wall paint

Steal workers index: ★ ☆

Phenomenon: Latex paint is the most common wall decoration material. It can be painted, rolled or sprayed in specific constructions. If the workers are not serious or perfunctory during construction, small color differences often occur. Especially with deeper emulsion paints, this problem will occur more.

Experts advise: Before the use of latex paint to add a certain amount of water, deployment of a good latex paint to run out. Paints of the same color are also best painted once. If the wall needs to be repaired after construction, the whole wall should be repainted again.
