In recent years, the country has continuously stepped up its housing control policy, and the real estate market is in a slump. Second-hand housing is constantly heating up, followed by second-hand housing decoration heat will also introduce low-cost renovation of the floor to introduce people's attention. For many second-hand homeowners to "refurbish" the floor, the experts put forward three suggestions for your reference.

First, the thickness of the surface layer to reach 4 mm floor renovation is through the surface of the floor polished, putty, painting, wax polishing, so that the old floor as new. Compared with repurchasing the floor, the old floor is adapted to the indoor environment and has better stability; the renovation cost is also much cheaper.

According to Gao Zhihua, chairman of the floor committee of China Timber Distribution Association, not all floors can be renovated. There is a layer of aluminum oxide wear-resistant layer on the surface of the laminate floor. Renovating the floor will destroy the wear-resistant layer and cause the floor to deteriorate. Therefore, the laminate flooring cannot be refurbished. Only solid wood flooring, engineered wood flooring and bamboo flooring with a surface thickness of 4 mm can be refurbished.

Because the surface of the floor is polished a few times, it will be polished 1-2 mm. If the floor is too thin, it will polish the middle layer and affect the service life of the floor. Therefore, the surface thickness of the floor must be more than 4 mm. Consumers can learn about the thickness of the surface of their own floor from the vendor.

In response to the spread of the saying that “solid wood flooring needs renovation after 5 years”, Gao Zhihua has denied it. “It is unscientific to judge whether floors should be refurbished according to their years of use. Some floors are well-maintained and need not be refurbished after 5 years,” Gao Zhihua said. “As long as consumers are not satisfied, they can be refurbished.”

Second, the renovation period takes 4 days The author learned from the market that there are few specialized floor renovation companies. Most of the businesses in this business are cleaning companies, and the price is generally 30-45 yuan per square meter. In order to ensure the quality of the renovation of the floor, it is recommended that consumers ask professional supervision personnel to supervise the construction.

Floor renovation is divided into grinding, scraping, coloring, painting, waxing and polishing five steps. When sanding, the grinding machine should use sandpaper of 40 mesh, 80 mesh and 120 mesh in order (the bigger the mesh, the smaller the sandpaper particles, the less noticeable the scratches after grinding), then sand three times, then puttying the floor, and then The floor is painted or shaded. Because the texture of the solid wood surface is natural, it cannot change the color, but can only adjust the depth of the floor color.

Before retreading, all items in the house should be removed to ensure that the house is clean and dusty when painted. The floor generally requires brush primer and two coats of paint. If the surface of the polished floor is flawed, it is necessary to brush the primer several times depending on the situation. Once the paint is completely dry, it can be brushed again. Therefore, the renovation of the floor usually takes 4 days. In the construction process, primers and topcoats are now more environmentally friendly UV light-curing paints, do not contain harmful solvents, consumers do not have to worry about the floor renovation is not environmentally friendly.

Third, the partial refurbishment results are not good. The overall renovation of the floor in a house is better. The effect of the new floor can basically be achieved. However, the partial renovation will cause new and old differences between the floors. The longer the service life of the floor, the more obvious the difference between the old and the new. .

Damage, mildew, and deformation are not necessarily refurbished. Floor mildew generally penetrates deep into the floor. The polished floor surface will still have mildew spots; floor deformation and damage cannot be remedied by sanding.

If only a small part of the floor is damaged, mildewed and deformed, it can be replaced with a floor of the same color. If you do not have the same color floor, you can choose the color of the floor, and to color and distress it, to minimize the color difference. If most of the floors have been damaged or have become mildewed or deformed, it is recommended to purchase them again.

Although the renovation of the floor can be cheaper for the owner to save a decoration fee, but for the cheap and can not bring good results. Therefore, when the owners refurbish the floor, they may consult the people in the industry to ensure that the final price will be low.
