Heating radiators with a final surface treatment can be cleaned with suitable water-soluble cleaning agents, which are commonly used in the household, without any adverse changes to the lacquered surface. These agents must not be abrasive (scratch the coating) and strongly alkaline or acidic (chemically aggressive).

From us, you can always get advice on the choice of material and the technology of its application. Our specialists are highly specialized in their field, so you can count on high-quality consultation.

We get this question from time to time and it is very important. The materials we use, we would use for our own houses. Today, there are many materials on the market that are simply not designed for construction or do not meet the level of quality that our customers deserve. As soon as we understand your expectations, we will be able to recommend the best materials that will fit in terms of quality and budget.

Contamination during tiling is normal. Grout, mounting foam, glue and other materials can get on it. The method of removing stains from tiles depends on what caused the contamination. Some stains can be treated with plain water, but others require the use of solvents and other chemicals. We want to warn right away: before wiping the tile with an aggressive substance, conduct the experiment in the most inconspicuous place. And if there are building materials left after the repair, experiment on them. The fact is that some chemicals can make the ceramic surface cloudy or leave whitish traces.

And now about the main pollutants and how to remove them:

• grout Almost everyone faces the problem of how to wash tiles from grout after repair. Mix water with vinegar or lemon juice and wipe the dirt with this solution. A solution of water with liquid bleach or dishwashing detergent is also suitable;
• cement. To begin with, try to soften the excess cement with water, and then carefully rub the surface with a scraper. If the method does not work, use a special solvent for cement;
• sealant One of the most difficult pollutions. Wait for the material to dry so as not to smear it on the surface. After that, very carefully remove the drops with a scraper;
• construction dust. This is the easiest contamination. How to wash porcelain tiles after repair? Foam the water with a detergent or make a weak vinegar solution - the stains will disappear from the eyes.

Repair is expensive. And when we are asked, for example, how much it costs to repair an apartment with a rough finish, we always specify: what exactly do you invest in the repair process? After all, it is worth including in the budget not only the work of masters in laying tiles or installing plumbing, but also cleaning. Of course, you can wash the apartment yourself, but the emotions from the move will not be the same.

And if you entrust the matter to a specialist, what price should you expect? It all depends on the region. The price will be the highest in Kyiv, lower in other cities. The price is fixed either per room or per square meter. For example, in the capital, cleaning an apartment costs from UAH 20/m2. Additionally, you will have to pay for washing windows, appliances, and furniture - from UAH 65/m2. And how much does it cost to clean the office after renovation? Prices here are slightly higher - from UAH 35/m2.

One of the urgent issues in the repair process is the sequence of work. The most controversial is the correct moment of installation of interior doors. Some craftsmen insist that at least a yard box should be installed before plastering and other finishing works. Others categorically claim that until the completion of all "dirty" and "wet" work, you should not even think about the door. The truth, as always, is somewhere in the middle.

We recommend thinking about the door at the initial stages of the repair. First of all, you should decide where exactly they will be located. If you intend to make a redevelopment, or if you have an apartment in a new building without internal partitions, this question arises by itself.

But even if you are satisfied with the location of the door, think about it: do you need to change the dimensions of the door opening? After all, in the houses of the old fund, the openings often have non-standard sizes. And this is associated with a number of inconveniences:

• doors of non-standard sizes are made to order. This means that you will have to wait for them longer, the repair period will be delayed;
• such doors will cost at least 30% more than standardized models;
• too narrow openings can become a serious problem when installing oversized furniture. And the reverse side of the coin – too wide doors steal the useful space of the rooms.

And even if you are satisfied with the location and size of the openings, you should choose the door at the early stages of the repair. After all, if you want to install not ordinary swing doors, but a rotary or sliding structure, you need to prepare the walls in advance. If you have already covered them with putty and wallpaper, it is too late to think about recycling.

But when it comes to only cosmetic changes to the apartment, when to change the door during the renovation, only you decide. In any case, take care of their protection with construction film, painter's tape or a large fabric canvas.

Next to capital and cosmetic repairs, another concept often appears - current repairs. And what kind of repair is this and what is included in the maintenance and current repair of the premises? In fact, this is just a legal term from the legal world. In fact, it is the same as a cosmetic repair.

Current repairs are usually discussed in the context of lease agreements. By the way, it should be done by the person renting the apartment.

Metal tiles must be cut with electric or manual metal shears. It is FORBIDDEN to use an angle grinder for this.

To choose a radiator, you need to set the main parameters.
What is the required thermal power?
In which room do you want to install the radiator?
What do I expect from a radiator?

• Price-quality ratio
• Design
• Drying
• Connection method (side or bottom).
• With built-in thermostatic valve and without built-in thermostatic valve.
• Horizontal and vertical

Knowing all the parameters, you can professionally choose a radiator.

When choosing between a glossy or matte finish, we prefer the latter. The matte coating is more resistant to both the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation and mechanical damage. However, the choice is always yours.

It is almost impossible to take into account all the nuances before the repair. Therefore, it is quite normal if, after completing all the work, you realized that you did not solve the sound insulation problem. In this aspect, it is especially difficult for residents of new buildings, where the sounds of hammer drills do not stop in the first 3-5 years after the house is put into operation.

Unfortunately, the issue of soundproofing the room is solved at the initial stages of the renovation, long before the finishing touches. But we know several ways to improve sound insulation in an apartment after renovation. Let's put it bluntly - their efficiency is quite low. But you will not have to do the repair again. Here's what you can do:

• change the functionality of the room. For example, you have arranged a study in a room that borders a neighbor's apartment. And there the child cries from morning till night. Most likely, after a few months, this problem will resolve itself - the child will grow up and become calmer. But until then, it makes sense to temporarily move the work area to a distant room;
• protect yourself from neighbors with furniture. The essence of the method is to artificially make the walls thicker and create a kind of barrier. For example, put a large closet next to the wall behind which noisy neighbors live. But the effect will be minimal. Not everyone will want to make such a change;
• ask the neighbors to buy a carpet. This method is suitable if the noise comes from the apartment above you and sociable people live there. The soft surface of the carpet will muffle noise, and your life will become more comfortable;
• install acoustic panels. The main disadvantage of this method is that it will affect the design of the apartment. But acoustic panels suppress sound no worse than full sound insulation. And one more plus - installing them is not difficult at all.

Noise in the apartment is a serious irritant that affects the quality of life of household members. Therefore, the noise norms are prescribed in the legislation.

Even if you do repairs correctly and in the right sequence, you may still face this problem: how to remove construction dust after repairs? We recommend that you first find the packaging from under the wallpaper and read the information about the material's resistance to moisture. If the packaging is not preserved - no problem, just go to the manufacturer's website.

If the wallpaper is resistant or super resistant to moisture, it can be wiped with a slightly damp sponge or soft cloth. Otherwise, a vacuum cleaner will help remove dirt. Use a brush attachment with soft bristles. It is better to remove dirt from top to bottom - this way the cleaning will be more effective.

The most pleasant moment in the repair is its completion. How long will it take from the start of the renovation to the celebration of the housewarming? The answer depends on many factors:

• the area of ​​the apartment and the number of rooms. The larger the footage, the more work for the masters;
• house type – new building or secondary housing. In the old fund, repairs will include the dismantling of old structures, leveling of walls, sound insulation. All this delays the move;
• type of repair - cosmetic or capital. The latter requires much more time;
• the type of work you plan to do. For example, one screed on the floor will dry for several weeks. Therefore, the final deadlines will depend on each individual process;
• organization of repairs. An experienced repair team will be able to organize the processes so that the repair is completed as soon as possible. For example, while the screed is drying in one room, you can paint the ceilings in another;
• budget. There are often cases when the owners of the apartment do not calculate the estimate, and the repair is stopped due to lack of money. And while the question of "where to get money to repair an apartment" is not resolved, the situation remains in one place;
• requirements for materials and furniture. Most hardware stores work with suppliers "to order": a huge assortment is represented only by product samples. And in order to buy a suitable parquet, sink or sofa, you need to wait until they are made. And the process can last up to six months! Therefore, it is worth dealing with the issues of finishing at the same time as the purchase of putty.

As a result, repairs can last from several months to several years. Yes, under the most favorable conditions, it is possible to repair a one-room apartment in a new building in 2 months. But only when all the materials have already been bought, and the team will work from morning to evening.

Any repair begins with solving organizational issues. But how to plan repairs in a new building and where should you start? First of all, we advise you to decide on the purpose of the apartment: will you live in it yourself or earn from rent? If it is an apartment for rent, is it intended for permanent residence of people or a daily option? All this affects the repair, filling of the apartment, the choice of equipment and furniture.

How to start renovations in a rough apartment, if you clearly know how you will use the space? Do not rush with screed and plaster. First, prepare a design project. You can order it from a specialist or develop it yourself. Why do you need a project? Even at the stage of preparatory work, it is important for builders to know where you plan to place sockets and switches, lighting points, sinks, etc. If you do everything at random, you will get a completely uncomfortable interior, where the outlet is hidden behind the bed, and the washing machine does not want to fit into the niche allocated to it.

And where to start repairs in a newly finished building, where the developer has already poured the screed and even made the electrical wiring? It seems that all that remains is to invite a master of wallpapering and you can move in! In general, it is, if you are satisfied with the quality of the developer's work. Otherwise, you will have to start with dismantling the finish.
