However, when decorating, it can't have a sense of existence in hard-mounted projects such as water and electricity, tiles, floors and wallpaper, and it can't compete with soft-mounted projects such as furniture, lighting and decorative paintings. And as a customized product in decoration, the price is still relatively high.
This has led to many owners in the decoration, do not know whether to change the doors and windows at home, how to change. Money is often wasted.
In this article, Brother Peng will share some tips on door and window replacement and a cost-effective replacement plan.
How to change 0 1 doors and windows is the most outstanding in practicality and cost performance.
Doors and windows are customized products under decoration, and their performance and quality differences are obviously reflected in the price (refer to the products on the market < 600,600-800,800-1000, 1000- 1500, > 1500+). According to the communication with fans and customers this year, Brother Peng found that:
Because the development of the door and window market is not perfect (that is, the price is too high and there are many deceptive places), most owner-occupied decoration owners are very confused after carefully running the door and window market, and don't know how the price of doors and windows suits them.
Buying something more expensive greatly exceeds the budget; Buy a low grade. I really don't think this door and window is worth the price.
Therefore, Peng Ge suggested that from the perspective of practicality and cost performance, decoration owners can choose different performance door and window products that can meet the needs of different rooms according to their actual needs and the performance of the original doors and windows of the house.
For example, after working hard in Hangzhou for 7 years, Yuan Xiao Q bought a second-hand house near Chengxi Company. The house was originally decorated eight years ago, and the original windows were old but still usable.
She made three demands to the door and window company. First, the house facing the street has requirements for sound insulation, and she is sensitive to sound; Second, the balcony is packaged and washed; Third, the budget is not high, pay attention to cost performance.
Then, the program Yuan Xiao Q found the right business through her persistent pursuit and keen sense. The scheme given to her by the merchant is: the two bedrooms and living room adopt 60 series system windows with good sealing performance, and the glass is laminated with insulating glass to meet the requirements of sound insulation and heat insulation; The balcony is washed dry with relatively cheap aluminum sliding window without broken bridge; Other rooms, such as kitchen and bathroom, do not need particularly good air tightness because of long ventilation time, so the original doors and windows of the house are kept.
This is what Brother Peng said. Before decoration, the owner should know his own needs, know which functions of doors and windows are related to the needs, then evaluate the performance and quality of the original doors and windows of the house, and then decide whether and how to change the windows.
The so-called door and window functionality, in addition to the overall safety and stability (that is, the reliable life of doors and windows is long or short), anti-theft, aesthetics (the appearance of doors and windows is different and related design factors),
That is, the doors and windows of bedroom, study and living room have greater demand for sound insulation, and the sun room has greater demand for heat insulation and so on. Performance is determined by product quality. Understanding it can help owners to distinguish their door and window products.
Next, Brother Peng gave some specific suggestions to the old community, the new community and the sun room respectively:
A slightly longer old community in the' 02 s
The characteristics of this kind of door and window are: "sliding window, single-layer glass, bumps are aging and falling off, the first generation aluminum alloy, sliding window is difficult to seal, and it is in disrepair" (mainly in the south). Brother Peng's suggestion is to replace the doors and windows in the whole house.
Select heat insulation profile, heat insulation+insulating glass, and the doors and windows are configured above. Taking broken bridge aluminum as an example, the common configuration of 60 series casement window +(5+ 12A+5) insulating glass can be generally selected.
If the house faces the street or people who are sensitive to sound, you can consider better sealed windows+laminated insulating glass; If there is no eaves outside the window, you can consider opening the window inside and opening the window inside; Pay attention to anti-theft requirements (diamond screen window, screen window integrated) on the first and second floors and other low floors.
In terms of installation, we should pay special attention to waterproofing, apply enough sealant, and the slope of the outer window sill must be done well. Under the premise of not affecting waterproofing, doors and windows should be installed as far as possible, which can make the indoor window sill slightly larger.
In terms of design, visit more merchants and reject all brainless merchants with the same door and window format. Small huxing in the old community can be small and beautiful;
2, kitchen, bathroom (no air conditioning and heating, use time is relatively short) and other scenarios:
These scenes do not require high sound insulation and sealing, and generally only need to be waterproof in rainy days. Therefore, you can properly choose the door and window products with lower configuration.
At the same time, in order to facilitate the use, it is recommended to use the sliding window type; The glass in the bathroom can be frosted glass with built-in louver glass, which is convenient for privacy and care; Screen window can choose king kong screen window, which is convenient to take care of.
In terms of installation, doors and windows should be installed as much as possible to increase the window sill area without affecting waterproofing.
In design, for example, the bathroom or kitchen area is small, and the supervision of residential property is not strict. You can learn about the black technology of self-made windowsill, that is, putting a galvanized steel bearing frame outdoors and installing doors and windows on the windowsill can make a lot of space.
3. Terrace reconstruction scene:
If the terrace is only for washing and drying, and there is a partition, choose the same as the kitchen. If used as living space, special attention should be paid to heat insulation and safety.
In terms of heat insulation, heat insulation profiles, low-e glass and sunshade products are the best choices. In terms of safety, in addition to the thickness of laminated glass and window series necessary for sunny roofs, we can also pay attention to the door and window merchants with thermal insulation.
Waterproof project is the focus of balcony renovation, and many water leaks will only appear after a period of time, so we must let the merchants ensure the maintenance problems.
Many balconies will have the problem of condensed water in doors and windows in winter, which can only be understood by owners with life experience. To pay attention to this problem, we must work hard on the products and installation of doors and windows.
03 Cixin Community
1. Determine the quality of existing doors and windows and suggest replacing them under any circumstances.
The life of doors and windows in such communities is not very long, and some of them can still retain certain functions. Therefore, before deciding whether to replace it, we can first identify the quality of existing doors and windows:
Look at the window type. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of windows: sliding window (movable window) and casement window (open outside or inside). If it is a casement window, keep looking down. If it is a sliding window (except imported brands), replace it immediately ~ because ordinary sliding windows are airtight and easy to leak air and sound.
Second, look at the glass. Glass is generally divided into single-layer glass and insulating glass. If it is casement window+insulating glass, then continue to look down. If it's a single glass (poor heat insulation and sound insulation), Liu Ma is going to replace it.
Third, look at the tightness. After closing the doors and windows, press the four corners of the outer window frame by hand. If there is no obvious back and forth shaking, then continue to look down. If there is shaking back and forth like an open door, it means that there is an air leakage connector and it needs to be adjusted or replaced.
Fourth, look at the traces of water leakage. If 1~3 is ok, but the inner wall around the window is found to be slightly detached and moldy, it is recommended to find someone to repair it. If it can't be repaired, find a professional door and window boss to propose a solution and replace the doors and windows to solve the water seepage problem.
After verification, we will decide whether to replace the doors and windows according to the wishes of our personal wallet.
2. When there is not much problem with the doors and windows of the house, and the owner has high requirements for the beauty or performance of the doors and windows, Brother Peng recommends the following:
If there is a need to replace French windows at home, it is recommended to take a walk in the community and find beautiful cases.
Never make a sample:
Generally, there are only two ways to change doors and windows in new communities.
For buildings delivered in recent years (not in the fourth and fifth tier cities), developers also attach great importance to the performance of doors and windows, so the performance and quality of most doors and windows are guaranteed, which can basically meet the basic needs of owners.
Therefore, the replacement of doors and windows generally only involves the transformation of balconies and terraces and extremely strong personal wishes.
1, balcony and balcony renovation
Except for most central heating communities in the north and some developers and properties (one city and one river in Hangzhou) that have strict requirements on external walls, most of other newly-built communities can be closed as washing balconies or leisure balconies.
In this way, it is necessary to choose the doors and windows with appropriate functions according to the needs of the reconstructed balcony.
There are two kinds of balcony renovation, one is to wash and dry the balcony (separated from the room). In this case, the door and window products don't need to be easy to use, so pay attention to installation. The second is to change it to life balcony. High-quality life balcony involves stability, safety and heat preservation. It is best to find a local merchant who has experience in installation design and can provide insulation solutions.
2. Personal will?
The developer's doors and windows can guarantee the basic needs. When the owner pursues beautiful architecture, ten-year safety, constant indoor temperature, minimum noise and maximum exemption from troubles such as maintenance, water leakage and cleaning, he can also go to a higher-quality home improvement door and window shop to negotiate.
