As the first wave of renovation season kicks off this year, many homeowners are starting their construction projects. But what should you keep in mind when renovating during spring? According to a recent report by the Chengdu Business Daily, reporters visited several top home improvement companies and gathered expert advice from their engineering teams on common issues during spring construction.
First and foremost, moisture control is crucial during spring renovations. Poor moisture protection can lead to wood warping, floor lifting, and wall cracks when the weather changes later in the year. To avoid these problems, it's recommended that homeowners purchase wood from large wholesalers rather than small local shops. Large suppliers typically dry the wood at the production site and ship it directly in containers. This reduces the risk of moisture absorption during transport. Once the wood arrives at your home, let it acclimate for two or three days before starting any work to ensure it adjusts to the indoor environment.
Another challenge in spring is the rapid drying of paint due to temperature fluctuations. This can cause a dull finish as the paint absorbs moisture from the air. To prevent this, professional contractors should use a dehumidifier to speed up the drying process. For latex paint on walls, high humidity can lead to mold growth. After the project is completed, using an air conditioner with a dehumidifying function can help remove excess moisture from the air and protect your walls.
After the renovation, lingering odors from paints and materials can be a concern. These pollutants may affect the health of your family. To reduce the smell, open windows as much as possible, place some green plants in the room, or use air purifiers to improve air quality. You can also place lemons, oranges, or bananas in different areas of the house to naturally neutralize the odors and freshen the space quickly.
Finally, it’s important to clearly understand the waterproofing and moisture-proof measures proposed by the renovation company. Make sure to sign a warranty agreement with them so that any issues arising from seasonal changes can be addressed effectively. By taking these steps, homeowners can ensure a smoother and more successful renovation process this spring. Report by Su Mingyu, Chengdu Business Daily.
