How to urgently replace stretch ceilings and stiffened arches

Is it possible to say that high-quality and inexpensive repairs are a myth? After all, many characteristics of building materials and design solutions in the interior depend on the manufacturer, and the manufacturer puts a considerable price tag. It turns out that the better the product, the more you will have to pay for it. Today we will talk about repair solutions that are best avoided.



High-quality and inexpensive repair of ceilings stretch ceilings is a terrible decision from the point of view of safety. In case of an electrician’s oversight, the ceiling begins to melt and drip on the floor, on furniture, thereby expanding the area of fire. Instead of stretch ceilings, builders recommend using drywall. drywall is inexpensive, it is easy to align and make good sound insulation, which can not be done with a stretch ceiling.



Lots of people love it because it is cheap and easy. And even easier to lay the laminate, we have written about it before. Only at the first rearrangement of furniture laminate will be irretrievably scratched, as linoleum, which is very easily pressed into the floor. Then from the dents on the linoleum can not get rid of, only restyle.



And yet, everyone’s favorite laminate and linoleum are unnatural materials that can be toxic. Therefore, it is better to save up for the parquet. The price tag is high, but the natural floor is worth it, and you can also save and quite do with a parquet board.



Once interior arches testified to the prosperity of the owners of the house. And now they look old-fashioned. Instead of suffering and trying to sculpt an outdated symbol of prosperity, leave a modest doorway if the door interferes with you. Arches look ridiculous in the modern design of the apartment, and the mixture of styles in the interior is a bad tone, the architects assure. The interior of the apartment should correspond to the time and architecture of the building in which you live.



PVC panels often lay out the apron in the kitchen, and also save on ceramic tiles in the bathroom. This is the biggest miscalculation of the owners. In an attempt to save money, a person condemns himself to suffering and unplanned expenses. PVC panels are the worst kitchen apron that can catch fire, begin to melt, and it is very easy to make a dent on it.



In the bathroom, where it is slippery and wet, PVC will have to be changed for something stronger after the first fall and grabbing the wall. And when repaired, dismantling PFC panels for something decent is a headache. Don't be stingy, take the ceramic tiles right away. And if you can’t put it out, use the services of a professional. It'll be expensive, but for centuries.



According to architects, glazed balconies in historically significant buildings are a crime. In Europe, this has long been abandoned. By the way, glazing of the balcony is a redevelopment of the building, so this moment must be coordinated with the management company. In addition, if the decision to glaze the balcony is made, you will have to do everything in the same style with the neighbors, otherwise the management company will have the right to demand to restore the facade in its former form.



In order not to regret your choice, try not to skimp on materials when it is inappropriate. Think about what is more important to you: high-quality repairs or cheap building materials, which only spoil the entire repair, and deprive you of the pleasure of enjoying the completed repair. Don’t mix different styles without an interior designer. Sometimes it is better to pay once to a specialist than to spend twice as much money on what to do yourself: clumsy and tasteless. What decisions in the interior did you regret after the renovation?
