Before starting the repair of the apartment, it is necessary to get the whole list of tools that may be needed, otherwise the repair may drag on because of some trifle for an indefinite period.
So, the first thing to do is to free the space of the apartment from unnecessary things, doorways, skirting boards and wallpaper. For these purposes, we will need scrap, sledgehammer, a hammer and a punch that will be needed at all stages of work, since with their help you can work both with metal products and with wooden.
When all unnecessary things are removed, we proceed to leveling walls, floors and ceiling. Let’s start with the removal of mounds and obvious irregularities from the floor and walls with a hammer and a chisel, after which using a steel brush, remove the exfoliation remaining after a rough cleaning. Next, we need a hydraulicarian for installing lighthouses and a needle roller that allows you to perfectly level the surface of the screed. To achieve the perfectly flat surface of the ceiling, it is necessary to clean it to the concrete wall using a sharpened medium -sized spatula, after which a solution is applied for alignment. The final stage is the final smoothing of the surface of the ceiling using sandpaper. The walls are also aligned with spatulas of different sizes and a trowel that will allow the corners more thoroughly.
When the walls, floor and ceiling are perfectly smooth, we proceed to laying the laminate and gluing wallpaper. To lay the laminate, we need an electrician to cut the first or last board of the row, a construction square, a hammer, so – for these works it is necessary to buy dielectric sidewalls, a lining block and spacer wedges. A set of tools for gluing tools should consist of a molar knife; roller for the junction of wallpaper; molar bath, where the glue will be located; roller with which the glue will be applied with an uniform layer; a clamping spatula that will need to go through the just glued wallpaper in order to carefully iron them and strongly fix them. When gluing wallpaper, do not forget about such an important element as a stepladder.
It should be noted another way to align the walls, which has been widely used in the past few years due to its capabilities to hide obvious shortcomings with the least time and means. This is the upholstery of the walls with drywall. To do this, you need a hammer, screws, guide profile, fasteners and screwdrivers. The disadvantage of this method is the loss of a certain area of the apartment due to the installation of a plasterboard structure.
Having studied this information and armed with the necessary tools, you can turn the repair of your apartment into a fascinating creative process!
