Decoration consultation

Decoration consultation is an activity that people ask the decoration company about the decoration before the decoration, and it is an indispensable and important link in the whole decoration process. However, due to improper methods, many people often fail to get valuable information after consultation. So how do you consult the decoration company to help yourself? The price consultation interview is better. People often call the decoration company like this: "I have a two-bedroom apartment and want to decorate it." How much does it cost? " This makes the decoration company unable to answer. Different decoration grades naturally lead to different prices. From the plate, there are willows and beeches. There are ordinary and advanced technologies; From the paint, there are clear oil and mixed oil ... each of which directly affects the total cost of decoration. Therefore, when you consult the decoration price, generally do not ask the price by phone, but talk to the designer face to face and provide your decoration content and specific requirements to the designer as detailed as possible. So he can work out a valuable quotation according to your requirements and the actual area of the room. Simply asking the decoration company about the price by telephone, and taking it as the only standard to measure the decoration company, is easy to fall into the misunderstanding of the price, and ignores other important factors besides the price in the decoration. First, design consultation. Because people usually have their own decoration plans before decoration, they tend to be self-centered in design consultation, saying "I don't want to install a dado" or "I want to install a big mirror in the hall" at the beginning, so that designers can only follow your idea, but your idea is not necessarily the best. After all, consumers are not professional designers, and some ideas are just from others or books, which may not be suitable for their own rooms. Therefore, in the design consultation, you might as well be a student first and listen to the opinions of designers. You just need to tell the designer clearly what your occupation and hobbies are and the decoration effect you want to achieve. Designers will make personalized designs for the decoration from a professional perspective, aiming at your personal and bedroom characteristics. If you are not satisfied with his design, you can deny it in person, and he may provide you with several options for you to choose from, so that through repeated comparison and negotiation, you will definitely find the design you are satisfied with. Of course, this kind of professional design is generally charged. Because the designer's duty is not only "room design", but also "investment design" for you. He will help you allocate funds reasonably according to your investment plan and determine the investment focus in room decoration. Visit the model room to see the doorway. When consulting, some customers will ask to see the company's model room. If they feel good, they will talk to the company. In fact, it is very learned to look at the model room. First of all, we must understand the overall situation of the decoration company. A beautiful model room does not represent the level of all construction teams in this company. If there is no strict internal management system and quality assurance system to restrain every designer, supervisor and construction team of the company, it is difficult to ensure that the quality of every project done by the company is in a stable state. Therefore, before looking at the model room, we should first understand the qualifications of the decoration company and various management systems, and then visit the model room after gaining initial trust. Secondly, when visiting the model room, don't just watch the excitement, but focus on your own needs. For example, if you want to do mixed oil decoration, then don't look at the oil clearly; As long as you do simple decoration, you don't have to look at villas and apartments. In addition, it will be more helpful for your choice to look at the semi-finished project first and then at the finished project. During the visit, we should also pay attention to the site conditions, such as whether the materials are packed neatly, whether the workers are in dressing the, whether there are fire-fighting equipment, and whether other management systems learned in the consultation are implemented on the construction site. In short, when you are consulting on decoration, you should consider the overall situation of the decoration company like shopping, and then choose carefully. What information should you provide to the designer? Before home decoration design, users mainly provide designers with basic information such as family population, gender, approximate age and functions of each room. And it is best to provide the following information to make your interior design more satisfactory and practical: What major furniture equipment should be kept for use? What are their sizes, materials, styles and colors? What household appliances are you going to buy, and their brands, models, specifications and colors? How many electrical appliances does the whole house need? Where should the sockets and switches in each room be installed? Is it necessary to tear down the wall and change the door for the wall? What is the height of the kitchen user? Are you used to using your right hand or your left hand? Which styles do you like best and which styles do you dislike least? What materials do you like to use and their styles and colors? Do you have any special requirements in your life? The most important thing is to tell him your budget. How to arrange a water heater without a load-bearing wall? In the current residential construction, a variety of lightweight building materials such as lightweight walls and wall insulation boards are used. The use of these materials saves energy and expands the living area. However, due to the design of non-load-bearing wall, it has brought some troubles to consumers to install wall-mounted water heaters. Recently, Smith Company of the United States introduced ELJF- 15 (60 liters) and EES series floor water heaters in response to this situation. This kind of vertical water heater can be installed in the bathroom, kitchen or balcony, which is very flexible, convenient for consumers to decorate and decorate their rooms, and the utilization rate of hot water is higher. EES series water heaters are designed with double heating rods. When the water heater works, start the upper heating rod first, and when the upper water temperature meets the requirements, the lower heating rod starts to work. This design not only improves the heating speed, but also makes the water temperature more constant. In addition, this series of products follow the patented technology of Smith's gold-silicon liner, which has super anti-corrosion and anti-scaling ability and can withstand huge impact without falling off, breaking and never rusting. The special thickened steel plate of this water heater can withstand higher water pressure and meet the needs of multiple outlets, thus meeting your desire to establish a "home hot water center" and realizing hotel-like domestic water use. What problems can't be ignored in choosing decorative materials? Although in home decoration, consumers can choose decorative materials at will according to their own preferences and budgets. However, there are still some rules to follow in the use and collocation of specific materials. If these rules are violated, not only the decoration effect will be greatly reduced, but also a lot of decoration expenses will be wasted. A problem that cannot be ignored: Is it necessary to use expensive materials? If you decorate the floor of the room with expensive natural marble, then the "functional price ratio" may be ignored. Because natural marble is hard, especially in the cold season in northern China, the hard and smooth ground makes people feel cold and muscles contract. For the old, weak and children, walking on the ground is easy to slip and feel insecure psychologically. For another example, the furniture and interior decoration of the room should be as harmonious as possible in grade, color and lines. Every part of interior decoration plays its due role in all decoration. If a part is not handled properly, it may be very uncoordinated with the whole, or even out of place, which will lead to the result that its aesthetic effect is disproportionate to the expensive investment. Some interior decoration found that the aesthetic effect and functional effect of decorative materials were not good after the decoration was completed. If natural marble is used to decorate the interior wall, the texture of natural marble must be taken into account in the process of cutting and inlaying, and good artistic effect can be obtained after treatment. However, if the mosaic level is low, it may be chaotic, not only without artistic charm, but also vulgar and even offensive. The second problem that can't be ignored: the harm of decorative materials to people. At present, a large number of polymer decorative materials have appeared in the market. Some of these new decorative materials pollute indoor air, and some plastic wallpapers give off a persistent disgusting smell. Some people are even allergic to the volatiles of some polymer materials, which may affect their mood and appetite or cause skin discomfort. Although some decorative materials are novel, such as fluorescent materials, they contain radioactive elements and are also harmful to human body. In fact, hydrogen sulfide, sulfurous acid and diluent in decorative coatings have polluted the air. In the application of decorative coatings and its corresponding decoration construction, it is often necessary to add diluent to solvent-based synthetic resin series decorative coatings to adjust viscosity. These diluents contain mixed xylene, ketone, ester, alcohol and mixed solvents of these substances, which are not only smelly, but also flammable. It should be emphasized that many decorative coatings contain some highly toxic or dangerous ingredients. Some curing agents in epoxy putty are easy to corrode the skin when in contact with people. Insect pests (termites, cockroaches and other harmful microorganisms) and rodents will appear in some straw decorative materials that have not been degreased and sugar removed at high temperature. Three problems that cannot be ignored: pay attention to fire safety. At present, China still lacks the necessary standards for the flammability of decorative materials sold in the market. Be especially careful when buying decorative materials. Interior decoration is the secondary processing of the inner surface of the wall, especially the ceiling material, which is more likely to be ignored. If the materials used are not flame retardant, in case of fire, the interior decoration materials will be ignited first, so try to use inorganic decoration materials for the roof and interior walls of the kitchen. Question 4: Avoid materials to offset each other's decoration effect. If the interior wall is plastered with mortar, its decoration effect is to absorb water (when the indoor humidity is high) and release water (when the indoor humidity is low and dry), which is usually called "breathing". This "respiratory effects" is very useful for adjusting indoor humidity and air quality. If you stick plastic wallpaper on this inner wall, the effect of natural breathing will be greatly reduced after adding a layer of plastic wallpaper. This practice is to sacrifice the beneficial function of the original interior decoration of the wall in exchange for the decorative beauty of the surface. Wooden decorative materials have a natural and beautiful texture, but if they are coated with alkaline paint, it is more likely to cause lignin discoloration. Therefore, this coating requires a certain acidity, and the PH value is less than 7. Plywood made of Thai teak and Philippine pine, after coated with white paint, the original color turned dark yellow, and the texture grade was reduced.
