The truth of the decoration is open! These three material selection methods make you spend less money!

For every novice in decoration, decoration is undoubtedly a matter that makes people feel troubled. Because of the limited budget, it is impossible to choose all the packages, and half of them are not familiar with the selection of materials. It is really worrying that they will be cheated and waste money to buy poor products. Today, this article is mainly for you to popularize some tips on the selection of decoration materials, covering some suggestions on the selection of broken aluminum doors and windows, tiles and latex paint. If you think it is quite beneficial, it is recommended to collect it!

At present, when we buy a house, we all pay great attention to the area of the balcony. A large balcony or a double balcony is the yearning of many people. However, the problem arises. Once we want to close the balcony later, most decoration companies will not include balcony sealing in the decoration project. Because balcony sealing involves aerial work, it needs to have relevant qualification certificates, and the decoration company usually involves interior decoration, but this professional qualification certificate is missing. Therefore, this shows that if we need to seal the window for the balcony, we have to go to the door and window shop to select the materials and find the installation master to handle it separately.

So, how should the door and window materials be selected? In the market, the materials of balcony sealing are usually divided into plastic steel, aluminum alloy and broken bridge aluminum. The quality of these three materials is generally in the order of low to high, so most people will choose to install broken bridge aluminum doors and windows. It is not only solid and stable, with long service life, acid and alkali resistance and no fear of corrosion, but also has excellent overall sound insulation and heat preservation effects.

We should pay attention to several aspects when purchasing, after all, the water in the broken bridge aluminum doors and windows market is still very deep:

1. Broken-bridge aluminum doors and windows whose quotation is lower than 450 yuan/m and include hardware fittings are all unacceptable, and their quality is definitely not guaranteed. Moreover, aluminum alloy is also rising in price at present, which is beyond the reach of cost.

2. The profile thickness of broken bridge aluminum series shall not be less than 1.4 mm. In fact, this requirement is already very low compared with the requirement of not less than 1.8mm stipulated in the new national standard. Therefore, if we can choose a material with a thickness of 1.8mm, it is naturally more ideal. The profile surface should be glossy, burr-free, free of oil spots and other stains, otherwise, it is likely to be made of recycled aluminum.

3. The glass must be tempered glass with 3C certification mark, so that even if the glass breaks accidentally, there is no need to worry about debris splashing. If you want to make the heat preservation effect excellent, you can choose double-layer or three-layer insulating glass. If you are sensitive to noise, then you should choose laminated glass.

4. The insulation strip should be made of nylon PA66, and the best one should be imported, so as to achieve the effects of heat insulation, environmental protection and energy saving more effectively and save energy by 20%-30%. Don’t be deceived by merchants with PVC insulation strips, which will become brittle after several insolations. The sealing strip should be made of EPDM, and the hardware fittings should be made of big brands. The miscellaneous hardware is not durable, and it may also cause safety hazards in the future.

Similarly, the ceramic tile industry is bottomless. For many novices in decoration, it is a difficult problem to choose suitable tiles. It is necessary not only to choose appropriate tile patterns and colors, but also to pay attention to the anti-sewage and anti-skid degree of tiles. Here, I would like to provide you with some suggestions on choosing tiles:

1. The tiles in the bathroom must have anti-slip performance. If the bathroom area is small, try to choose light-colored tiles as much as possible, otherwise the dark color will become more depressing and cramped. It is difficult to clean the ceramic tile with uneven surface, so you need to pay attention before buying it. In addition, there are differences in the performance and water absorption of floor tiles and wall tiles, so they must not be mixed, especially floor tiles should never be used on the wall.

2, the price quoted by the merchants is often inflated and may be tricky. The price of ceramic tiles can be cut at a discount of 30% according to the label price. Listen clearly whether the price refers to a brick or a square meter, so don’t be fooled. Ceramic tiles don’t have to be imported from abroad, and the quality of ceramic tiles in China is also very good. However, it is still necessary to identify the brand. It is recommended to choose Guangdong ceramic tiles produced by regular manufacturers.

3. When buying ceramic tiles, you must not plan the budget appropriately and just enough. Be sure to buy more. There will be loss in the process of paving, and the larger the tile size, the easier it will be. Don’t think that you can buy it after using it. The second batch of tiles purchased is very likely to have color difference with the first batch, which will cause the whole decoration effect to be significantly damaged.

As a commonly used decoration material for walls, the purchase of latex paint is a key move. Inferior latex paint will not only greatly affect the decoration effect, but also cause the content of harmful substances such as formaldehyde and phenol to exceed the standard, which directly threatens human health. So when we buy latex paint, we’d better pay attention to the following points:

1. When purchasing latex paint, be sure to look for the environmental protection certification mark-ten ring mark, and check the product inspection report. High-quality latex paint will not emit pungent smell, will not be layered after opening the cover, and has good leveling property. Brand products should be purchased, because they will strictly control the VOC content in the products.

2, there is no need to blindly pursue foreign latex paint, it is very likely to buy OEM products or "fake foreign goods" specially supplied for the China market. Many foreign first-line or big brands of latex paints have not yet entered the China market. Moreover, the quality of domestic latex paint purchased through formal channels is also good. As far as environmental protection is concerned, indoor latex paint has certain standards, but all those that can be formally listed meet the standards.

3. There will be unscrupulous merchants buying cans of imported latex paint to pour poor-quality latex paint or even water, and shoddy it. We need to keep our eyes open when shopping, and we must not blindly covet low prices. And while identifying the brand of latex paint, you have to be clear about which model it is, lest you mistakenly think that you are using big-name latex paint, but it is actually the worst one among brands. After all, latex paint is also divided into low-grade, medium-grade and high-grade.

The above tips on the selection of broken aluminum doors and windows, tiles and latex paint suggest that you collect them at will or forward them to friends who are undergoing renovation. After all, these three materials are particularly important in decoration.
