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.

STAGES OF PLUMBING

Conventionally, all the work of plumbers can be divided into two stages:

• preparatory, which includes the laying of new water supply and sewerage routes;
• mounting, during which plumbing fixtures are installed in predetermined places.

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.

WATER PIPING FEATURES

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).

INSTALLATION OF PLUMBING IN AN APARTMENT OR HOUSE

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.

WHAT YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION WHEN INSTALLING PLUMBING

Things to pay attention to when installing:

• installation must be carried out strictly according to the level;
• check the completeness of the products (gaskets, eccentrics) and the tightness when connecting to water and sewer pipes;
• seal the places where showers, bathtubs, sinks come into contact with walls;
• If there are “warm” floors in the bathrooms, prevent them from being damaged by the fasteners of the appliances.

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.

STAGES OF ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

• layout of routes and points of installation products in accordance with electric project;
• chasing walls and floors for laying wires;
• laying electrical wires into prepared strobes with preliminary drawing into a protective corrugated sleeve or plastic pipes;
• installation of equipment and connection of wiring into a single system. We are talking about installing sockets, switches, connecting in junction boxes and electrical panels.
• commissioning the final stage, during which the entire system is checked for compliance with the power supply project, the serviceability of protection and disconnection devices, the quality of installation of products and fasteners, as well as contact connections.

FEATURES OF ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION (ELECTRIC INSTALLATION):

• Laying of power supply routes should be carried out only perpendicular and parallel to each other;
• it is forbidden to lay along ventilation shafts, air ducts and chimneys;
• lines and connections must be marked from beginning to end, in order to recognize them;
• low-voltage traces should not be located in the same box or corrugated hose with power ones.

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.

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.

TILES RECOMMENDATIONS

When choosing a tile, you need to follow a few simple rules:

• it is inappropriate to use large-sized tiles for facing rooms of a small area;
• in narrow bathrooms with relatively high ceilings, it is better to use small square tiles or medium-sized rectangular tiles, placing them horizontally (the long side should be parallel to the floor), this will visually expand the room;
• in small-sized bathrooms, it is recommended to use light glossy tiles – this also helps to change the visual perception in favor of expanding the room.

LAYING THE TILE IS PRODUCED IN SEVERAL STAGES

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.

Capital repair and construction works.

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:

1. Selective repair – includes procedures focused on the restoration and decoration of individual elements of the building or its equipment. For example, this type of repair and construction work is focused on eliminating the physical wear and tear of individual parts or restoring the interior only in some rooms. Selective repairs are used when it is necessary to strengthen or replace parts of structures whose failures affect the state of adjacent elements. In interior design, selective restoration is necessary when only part of the furnishings is outdated or damaged.
2. Complex works – cover most or all of the building. In this case, the craftsmen eliminate the detected damage or wear of the structural elements, which significantly improves the improvement of the house. When designing interiors, a comprehensive renovation involves serious work with all rooms, and the chosen designs should not conflict with each other.

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.
