Renovated kitchen in the building with his own hands: faced with difficulties, and we have overcome them
Buying an apartment in new building is the whole immense field to implement their ideas and desires in design. But before moving on to the most interesnomu- a choice of wallpaper,, curtains, furniture and different things you have to walk seven circles of "hell" of which I have now and tell.
Alignment walls.
Perhaps the longest, most boring and the main work has been is the alignment of the walls. The developer is not particularly bother the walls were plastered so that the variations were seen even with the naked eye. Therefore, we had to be bought nth number of bags of plaster and begin to fix this mess. Many line the walls of plasterboard, but, in my opinion, you just steal at precious centimeters of the living space. Although if you have a very uneven walls, this method is just fine.
Flooring.
Paul we have been more or less flat, and time and money is very small, we decided to go directly to the laying of flooring. And that was the biggest mistake. But more on that later. When choosing flooring, we broke discussion: what still cover the floor:
1) laminate
2) Tile
3) Linoleum
After weighing all the "pros" and "cons" we decided to do this: along the wall where we will stand in the future kitchen set, gas cooker and sink, we are tiled and the rest of the space lay a laminate of the highest class. Thus, the kitchen was divided into working and dining area. This solution is not only original but also practical, because next to the stove or the sink can spill something hot and laminate such tests to anything. But immediately clarify: the distance you need to leave about a centimeter between the junction of tiles and laminates to Then there were problems with the installation of the T-nut, but we unfortunately left very little opening.
But there were the following problems when laying laminate flooring: laminate flooring is very sensitive to any irregularities, if you still have the floor is not perfect, then try to fix it is a good quality substrate, so you do not have to dismantle it again and again stack.
In conclusion, I will write about what the main thing is not to save on materials and, if possible, try to do repairs on their hands, because delaetcya it for themselves.
