As the first wave of renovation season kicks off this year, many homeowners are diving into 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 faced during spring renovations.
First and foremost, moisture control is a critical concern during spring construction. Poor waterproofing can lead to wood deformation, floor lifting, and wall cracks, especially when the weather changes later in the year. To prevent this, it's essential to source high-quality wood from reputable suppliers rather than local shops. Large wholesalers typically dry wood at the production site before shipping it in containers. This reduces the risk of moisture absorption during transport. Once the wood arrives at your home, allow it to acclimate for two or three days before starting the installation process.
Another challenge in spring is the fast-drying paint due to fluctuating temperatures. This can cause a dull finish as the paint absorbs moisture from the air. To address this, professional painters should use drying agents to speed up the curing process. For latex paint on walls, humidity can lead to mold growth, so it's advisable to use an air conditioner for dehumidification after the work is completed to ensure all moisture is removed.
After the renovation is finished, lingering odors from materials and paints can be a concern. These pollutants may affect indoor air quality and family health. To combat this, open windows regularly, place indoor plants, or use air-purifying devices. You can also put slices of lemons, oranges, or bananas in different rooms to help neutralize the smell more quickly and naturally.
Finally, it’s important to thoroughly understand the waterproofing and moisture protection plans provided by the renovation company. Make sure to sign a warranty agreement that covers any issues that may arise due to seasonal changes. This will provide peace of mind and ensure that any problems are addressed promptly. By following these tips, homeowners can enjoy a smoother and more successful renovation experience this spring. Reporting by Su Mingyu, Chengdu Business Daily.
