Spring is in full bloom, and it’s time for decoration.

The reporter's investigation found that many of the garbage generated by the decoration of second-hand houses are still valuable for reuse; even for hardcover houses, some owners will smash and re-install them because they are worried about the quality of the developers and do not like the unified style; Although "Internet celebrity design" is beautiful, it is not practical, and it is labor-intensive and expensive to make... The distressing waste of decoration should really be changed.

　　Phenomenon

　　More than 80 square meters of second-hand houses demolished 5 tons of garbage

　　Removing partition walls, redoing water and electricity, remodeling kitchens and bathrooms... Many homeowners start to renovate their houses as soon as they close their houses.

Many owners who have bought rough houses will dismantle and throw away the doors and windows because they are not satisfactory. In the garbage disposal places of some residential quarters, brand-new sanitary ware, toilets, tiles, window frames, smashed walls, etc. are piled up everywhere. It can be seen that the waste of decoration is amazing.

If you buy a second-hand house, you will remove all traces of the original life in the room, return everything to zero, and start anew.

　　Ms. Wang, who lives in Tongzhou Orchard, is nearing the end of the house decoration, but she still has a photo in her mobile phone that makes her remember fresh - a total of more than 500 bags of garbage, which can be called "shocking".

"There are a total of 5 tons of decoration waste, all of which were removed from our two-bedroom apartment of more than 80 square meters." Ms. Wang said, "There is so much waste that can't block the door of the unit, so it is piled up in the parking space. I was watching from the side that day, and I didn’t feel relieved until the property was pulled away at night, I was really afraid that this pile of rubbish would be dumped and smashed into other people’s cars.” After calculating, Ms. Wang demolished the house into a rough house, and then transported the rubbish. Go, spent a total of more than 8,000 yuan.

　　The house is not big, how can so much garbage be demolished?

It turned out that Ms. Wang bought this second-hand house to be used as a wedding house. Based on the principle of "seeing new things everywhere", all the decorations in the old house ranged from doors and windows, ceilings, partitions, floors to wires, sockets, Baseboards, regardless of their reuse value, are all torn down.

In addition, because the layout of the house was adjusted, and two partition walls were smashed, the garbage also increased a lot.

"The floors, radiators, doors and windows are all quite new, and the scraps are worth hundreds of dollars, but the family members are busy with work, so they have to just throw them away. It's really a pity," Ms. Wang said.

　　The property staff of the community told reporters that after the peak decoration season, vehicles for cleaning and transporting construction waste will be in short supply, and it is necessary to make an appointment in advance, otherwise the garbage will be "overnight" downstairs.

"The average construction waste generated by each household is more than 2 tons. Garbage removal and transportation are charged by vehicle, and the more demolition, the higher the transportation cost." A worker engaged in decoration and demolition said, "Basically old houses are The decoration is all demolished, and I have never seen one that is not demolished.”

　　Home improvement materials last longer than expected

　　Ms. Yu from Haidian bought a second-hand house last year. At first, she planned to dismantle and re-install it, but after thinking about it, she decided to keep the high-grade solid wood floor in the master bedroom.

"The quality of this floor is very good. Now it would cost about 100,000 yuan to lay such a good floor." Ms. Yu said that she found a business specializing in the maintenance of wooden floors. After testing, the floor has a long life and can be reused. use.

"Look, how bright this floor is!" Ms. Yu showed the photo to the reporter. The dark red floor has been repaired and maintained, and it glowed with a faint golden light under the sunlight.

　　The reporter learned from a well-known building materials store that although the solid wood floor is expensive, because it is a whole wood, even if the surface paint is peeled off, after re-grinding and painting, it can still be as new as the factory.

In foreign countries, there are many examples of a set of solid wood floors used for hundreds of years.

"If you have solid wood floors in your home, you can remove them when you change houses and use them in your new home." The salesperson said that the lower-priced composite floors and laminate floors are generally difficult to reuse. "The surface of the composite floor is veneer. If it is worn out, it will be scrapped. Although the surface of the laminate floor is wear-resistant, it will be deformed and aged due to the influence of humidity. It cannot be refurbished and can only be scrapped.” In addition, the service life of steel plate radiators is 10 to 15 years. , The copper radiator with better material but more expensive has a lifespan of about 20 years; the design life of broken bridge aluminum windows can be up to about 50 years...

　　Phenomenon

　　The hardcover room also spent more than 200,000 redecorating

　　At present, many new houses are delivered with their own refined decoration, but many owners still have to demolish and rebuild because the decoration is not satisfactory or the quality is not good enough.

　　Ms. Zhao is a designer of an old-fashioned decoration company in this city. "Part of the fine decoration is renovated and rebuilt, and there are several orders every month." She told reporters that after the fine decoration room was delivered, the circuits and water pipes were buried underground. , On the wall, some owners feel that the original circuit and water pipe laying can not meet the diversified needs of use, and need to carry out partial water and electricity renovation; , more expensive.

　　According to media reports, after buying a hardcover room, Ms. Li in Beijing found that the wooden floor was a little muddy when she stepped on it.

Ms. Li decided to pry the original floor and redo it.

Unexpectedly, after opening, the floor is full of cigarette butts, melon seed shells and other garbage, "How can this quality of decoration make people feel at ease for a long time?"

　　Mr. Wu, who lives in Daxing, just recently renovated a new house: "I thought the hardcover room would save you worry, but the reality is very depressing." Mr. Wu said that after closing the house, he found that the floor was uneven and the walls were not straight. In addition, his family did not like the unified style, so he chose to renovate without hesitation, "The thickness and quality of the removed floor are the minimum standards for delivery, and the interior doors are also very thin. , I still feel that better materials must be used.”

　　Mr. Wang, who lives in the same community with Mr. Wu, also renovated the hardcover room.

"Not only are the materials used by developers not reassuring, but the design and layout are not very good. The bathroom has not been separated from wet and dry, and the cleaning robot has not left a socket. It cost more than 200,000 yuan to disassemble it into a blank and reassemble it again." Mr. Wang said , I threw away a lot of things in my house, brand-new windows, radiators, guardrails, and water pipes and wires throughout the house. "If the developer had installed a good quality and humanized the house design, there would have been no problems. It's wasted."

　　During the interview, the reporter found that a project in Xihongmen, Daxing insisted on the delivery of blanks. When asked why, the salesperson replied: "Many people have bought finely decorated houses and still have to rebuild them. Save it."

　　Don't let the hardcover room become a "surprise room"

　　Mr. Feng, the person in charge of the decoration company who has been deeply involved in the home improvement industry for more than 20 years, suggested that the rough house should be preferred under the same circumstances, not only because the rough house is cheaper than the hardcover house, but also because the rough house can be independently decorated, which can realize his good yearning for the house and planning.

"Once the hardcover room needs to be redecorated, a lot of garbage will be generated, and many new materials will be directly demolished, which is really wasteful." Mr. Feng said.

　　Mr. Feng said that people in the industry are more willing to call the hardcover house a "furnished house", that is, a house with its own decoration. From the perspective of home improvement practitioners, it is only necessary to personalize the design to meet the individual needs of the owner's family. The hardcover and softcover made can be called a hardcover room.

In contrast, although the "built-in house" saves time and effort, the owner cannot see the rough structure of the house, and the possible quality problems of the house will be covered up by the decoration.

　　"Many furnished houses are 5,000 yuan per square meter more expensive than rough houses. This is really a 'surprise house'!" Mr. Feng calculated that a "hardcover house" of 80 square meters is 40 yuan more expensive than a rough house of the same type. Wan, "Going to find a decoration company with this money will definitely be much better than the developer, and it will also reduce the amount of waste generated by several tons."

　　Phenomenon

　　"Trend Design" is labor-intensive and impractical

　　Taking advantage of the weekend, Mr. Xu's family mobilized together to do the first cleaning of the new house.

"I really didn't expect that this 'net celebrity design' is not very useful. It not only spends more money, but also hides so much dust." He said that he regretted the shape of the light strip installed in the ceiling of the living room "fashionable"." I knew it would be enough to simply walk around the plaster line, which is clean and saves materials. This light strip can be turned on several times a year."

　　The "net celebrity design" that is easy to "step on the pit" is not only this one.

Before the renovation of Mr. Zhang's house, a "net celebrity" TV background wall was "planted" - the main body is made of slate and light strips, and then embellished with a fence-like solid wood shape, and the bottom is made of stone as a platform.

"Why didn't you consider practicality at that time?" Mr. Zhang found out after the renovation that the slate background wall costing more than 20,000 yuan blocked more than half of the 75-inch TV. The fence-like solid wood shape looked more and more like it. Washboard.

　　Mr. Gao, who lives in Haidian, adopts a minimalist decoration style and installs the popular "no main light" design. However, due to the unreasonable design, only a single spotlight is used, and other auxiliary lighting is not considered, and the spotlight layout is not in place. , in the end, it always feels like the house is not bright when it is installed.

In addition, because the floor is made of bright bricks, if there is no main light on, it will be reflected directly on the roof. "It feels like living in a dragon palace." Mr. Gao said that this kind of "net celebrity design" with poor practicality , is actually a waste of decoration.

　　"Light decoration and heavy decoration" reduce decoration waste

　　The reporter found that many bloggers on social media are teaching netizens the "Guidelines for Designing Pit Avoidance for Internet Celebrities": "The balcony entrance is not very big, and it seems very crowded to be a bar, and there is no interest in life at all." "The height of the house is 2.7 meters in total, the floor heating is 10 centimeters, and the ceiling of the whole house is 10 centimeters, so there is only 2.5 meters left, and a chandelier needs to be installed. Can the space not be suppressed?" "The invisible bed is hidden in the cabinet without taking up space. , but don't even think about storing things in the whole cabinet, the money is not less, it is not practical at all"...

　　Many citizens have heard family and friends chanting the phrase "light decoration, heavy decoration" when decorating.

The "weight" mentioned here actually refers to the amount of hard and soft equipment, not the degree of attention and contempt.

　　Ms. Zhao, a home improvement designer, said that many people do not understand decoration and decoration, and it is easy to confuse them.

Decoration is hard decoration, which is more professional and expensive, and it is very troublesome to replace; decoration is soft decoration, which is a personalized art project. If you don’t like it, you can replace it at any time.

The concept of "light decoration, heavy decoration" can greatly reduce decoration waste.
