To date, most apartments in new buildings are put into operation in a “rough” finish. And this means that you get an apartment, which is only walls, floors and ceilings made of concrete slabs. There is also no electrical wiring, engineering communications and plumbing. Required floor screed, plastering walls and ceilings, installation of doorways and more. Therefore, repair of an apartment in a new building is better to entrust to professionals who will carry out repair work in a complex manner. Repair of an apartment in a new building will be different from overhaul of secondary housing. The difference will be in the absence of the need for a preparatory stage for the dismantling of old decorative coatings.

Plumbing work during repairs in an apartment, house, cottage or office is carried out simultaneously with electrical installation.
Conventionally, all the work of plumbers can be divided into two stages:
Both stages are carried out in full accordance with apartment design project, at home or a plumbing project.
We should dwell on the features of water supply pipes, which are used in the production of works.
Copper pipes are the most expensive and reliable material, with a service life of up to 80 years. It is used in water supply systems, is not afraid of temperature changes and the presence of chlorine in water. The pipes are connected by soldering using tin and silver solder.
Cross-linked polyethylene (REHAU) – used for laying water supply and heating lines. Expensive, but durable (50 years or more) and reliable material. Flexible, not afraid of corrosion, low thermal conductivity.
Metal-plastic pipes — field of application — water supply and heating. Service life is about 15 years. In concealed laying, the pipe connection must be made using a sleeve and a crimping tool. When laying open, the connection is made using a collet on the thread.
Polypropylene pipes is not very expensive, durable material (up to 50 years), which is used in water supply systems. The pipes are connected using a special welding machine, it requires experience and accuracy.
Installation of a sewerage system involves the use of PVC pipes of various diameters. When laying pipes in a horizontal plane, connections using half-bends 90° should be avoided in order to avoid blockages during operation. In the same interests, it is important to observe the required pipe slope (1.5 – 3% per meter).
Plumbing installation in an apartment or country house is one of the finishing touches in creating a beautiful and functional interior. Before dwelling on the features of this work, it should be recalled that it is advisable to purchase devices from well-known manufacturers. The range of sanitary ware and its price range is quite large – from economy class to elite and meets the needs of the most demanding customers.
Things to pay attention to when installing:
When repair in an apartment, country house or cottage, you can start electrical work as soon as power supply project. After a detailed study of electrical project it becomes clear how the power supply of a house or apartment is provided, where and what routes need to be laid, the number and range of wires, automatic machines, junction boxes, etc. are known.
When purchasing consumables, it is important to clearly follow the instructions of the electrical project, since the names and characteristics of wires and protection devices are determined by the calculation of loads and, ultimately, ensure the safety of housing. When completing the facility with electrical installation products, you should purchase installation products from leading world manufacturers (Jung, Gira, Devi, Fontini, Legrand, Schneider, etc.), and consumables with quality certificates.
After completing all work related to electricity, it is recommended to draw up an executive diagram. This will allow in the future to easily figure out where and how the wires were laid, and eliminate accidental damage when drilling walls and floors.
The installation of floors is one of the most difficult and lengthy stages of repair, but also one of the most important, since the microclimate of the entire room depends on the quality of these works. Floors should be even, hygienic, durable, as warm as possible and not slippery, especially when it comes to flooring for an apartment or house of a family with elderly relatives or small children.
How to achieve such a result? First of all, high quality materials should be used for the manufacture of all layers of the floor – screeds, interlayers and coatings. A screed is understood as a floor layer laid directly on a concrete slab – the base of the room or an additional sound and heat insulating layer and designed to cover engineering systems and level the surface. There are “wet” concrete, cement or gypsum screed and dry screed. Both types give a good end result, the difference in the cost of work and the time taken by the installation process. “Wet” screed should dry naturally, it takes at least a week. After installation of a dry screed, the very next day you will be able to mount the final floor covering. The finish coating is a matter of taste of the owner of the premises. It can be parquet, laminate, linoleum, tile. It is recommended to make a choice of a specific type of coverage, based on the general project design of the premises, from the functional purpose of the premises and, of course , of the amount you are willing to spend. To understand the variety of building materials and carry out all the necessary work on repair of apartments within the required timeframe, ionosfera specialists will help you.

Tiling is one of the most reasonable, affordable and popular ways to finish bathrooms in apartments and private houses, as well as in non-residential premises. The practicality of this decor method is determined by the very properties of the tile as a material – strength, durability, resistance to moisture and ease of daily maintenance, because tiles can be cleaned with almost any non-abrasive detergent.
When choosing a tile, you need to follow a few simple rules:
At the first stage, which can be called draft, the maximum leveling of the surface of the walls of the bathroom is performed using putty. Most importantly, the corners of the room should be as close as possible to the concept of “perpendicular”. Then the aligned walls are covered with a primer. At the second stage, the “fitting room”, tiles are laid out on the floor surface in the order in which they will subsequently be mounted on the wall. The docking of the pattern is checked, the places where the tiles will have to be cut to preserve the integrity of the decor are determined. Finally, the last step is actually laying the tiles. The process starts from the most visible corner of the room from the door, either from the floor or from the edge of the installed bath. It should be noted that tiling is one of the most complex repair processes, which rarely anyone from home and apartment owners manages to master and master on their own. That is why tile laying services are very expensive for private masters and average one hundred or more percent of the cost of the facing material chosen by the customer. At the same time, the quality of work can only be guaranteed by the word of honor of the master and the reviews of his previous clients. In our company, you can order tiling, in addition, we provide a documentary guarantee for all types of repairs carried out by our specialists repair work for a period up to three years.

The whole complex of repair and construction work carried out in a particular interior can be called finishing work or finishing, which in turn are divided into general construction and cleaning.
General construction finishing work begins with the construction of walls and interior partitions in an apartment or house. To perform these works, the following building materials can be used:
It is most technologically advanced, quickly and economically to use tongue-and-groove gypsum blocks (KNAUF), the thickness of which is 80 mm, the main size is 500×600 mm.
Further work is carried out to align the walls and ceilings. In cases where surface irregularities are up to 5 mm, they are eliminated by puttying, in other cases this problem is solved by plastering ceilings and walls on metal beacons. In this case, both cement and gypsum mixtures can be used. One of the advantages of gypsum plaster mixes is faster drying. Irregularities can also be eliminated with the help of drywall sheets (gypsum boards), the method of fastening of which is either adhesive or using metal profiles. When installing a floor screed, you should know that it can be done with a sand-cement mortar, the so-called dry screed is also used, when fine fraction expanded clay is poured along the guides and gypsum fiber sheets (GVL) are laid. The sheets are attached to each other with glue and screws. The advantage of filled floor is that “wet” work is eliminated and no time is required for the screed to dry. In cases where floor differences in an apartment or house are insignificant, they can be eliminated with self-leveling self-leveling floors. Please note that many building materials are produced by unscrupulous manufacturers. Therefore, it is better to entrust their acquisition to professionals. General construction should include electrical and plumbing work, which you can read about in the relevant sections of our website.
The final stage of all repair and construction works is a fine finish. This includes works on painting walls and ceilings, which are carried out in 2-3 layers. An alternative to painting the walls are: pasting the walls with wallpaper or applying decorative plasters. Facing with stone, wood and other materials can also be used.
There are many types of wallpaper – paper, non-woven, textile, etc. When sticking certain wallpapers, it is advisable to carefully read the instructions on the insert, study the symbols: When using decorative plasters in finishing, it is better to entrust their application to well-trained specialists, because this expensive material does not forgive mistakes. Finishing floors can be made of natural parquet, parquet board or laminate. When using these materials, special attention should be paid to the degree of humidity in the room. In addition, the material should lie open for several days before laying where it will be used. If in the interior, for the installation of the floor, you decide to use carpet or linoleum, then you should exclude the ingress of small debris under the coating during repair work. Separately, we should dwell on the features of installing interior doors. This work requires the care and accuracy of the master. All sidecuts must be made at the correct angles (45º, 90º), without scratches, chips and gaps. The hinges should not pull the door when closing, the box should be set strictly vertically. Installation and fastening of the door frame is best done on mounting foam, using hangers and self-tapping screws. In conclusion, about the subtleties in laying ceramic tiles. In bathrooms and toilets, laying begins with the walls, and then lays out the floor. When performing tile work, it is advisable to use plastic crosses, then the seams will be even and the same in thickness . The thickness of the adhesive when working on prepared surfaces should not exceed 8-10 mm. The speed and quality of tile work directly depends on the tool that the specialist has at his disposal.
During the construction of buildings, the architectural features of the premises are immediately included in the project, but in the process of repair and construction work, the finished building has to be redone at the request of the owner. In the Ionosphere studio, repairs with a complete renovation of the situation sometimes turn out to be more laborious than the original design, so if you plan to order an interior design in Kyiv, specify the specifics of the future work to the master.
Two types of repair and construction work.
Depending on the expected scope of work, two classical approaches are distinguished:
The necessary repair and construction work is determined by professionals, since it is not always possible to identify the problem by the external state of the building and its individual structures. For example, Ionosfera has a dedicated department that will help the client determine the type of future restoration and develop a project for interior decoration. Therefore, if you are going to order interior design in Kyiv, choose companies where proven craftsmen work, who will be able to correctly determine the scope of work and bring your wishes to life.
