“Cheap, but cute” is the saying, and in some cases it is true. Some budget-class materials for residential renovations can indeed look quite attractive at first, but their main problem lies in their lack of durability.

At best, the original aesthetic appeal will disappear after a while. This is unpleasant, but does not pose a threat to life and health and does not incur significant losses for your budget. Of course, most likely you will want to improve the situation, but in this case, capital investments in the renovation of the existing finish will be required.

However, all these troubles can be classified as not of fundamental importance when compared with the consequences of the operation of water supply and sewer systems poor quality or improperly installed electrics.

In the process of finishing works, Customers should pay more attention to the level of comfort that they will receive after the completion of the repair. In turn, a high level of comfort for residents is achieved through qualified construction and installation work, as well as through the use of high-quality materials from reliable suppliers.

Recently, cases of counterfeiting of well-known brands by Chinese manufacturers have become more frequent in the building materials market.

Be careful when choosing materials from Chinese manufacturers, ask the seller for a quality certificate

The consequences of using these low-quality materials can be the most depressing for both your safety and your wallet.

"Draft" materials

Dry mixes

Building mixtures for leveling walls and ceilings are selected taking into account the characteristics of the operation of the premises. Expensive professional plasters and putties contain additives that improve their technical characteristics.

Experts do not advise saving the budget on leveling compounds, as they are the basis for a “fine” finish

Such mixtures dry faster, have excellent adhesion, are easily leveled and have a uniform smooth texture after drying. Subject to the application technology, the plaster layer will keep perfectly even with a large thickness and several layers.

Drywall

Drywall is also used to level the walls. The choice of the type of drywall sheets themselves is also important - their thickness determines not only the strength and durability, but also the bearing capacity of the mounted walls and partitions.

Plasterboard sheets in accordance with the purpose differ in colors: gray - normal; green - moisture resistant; red - fire resistant;

For rooms with high humidity choose laminated, moisture-resistant sheets. Alignment can be performed in various constructive ways.

• Landing sheets on glue, requiring a minimum amount of expenses (no need to purchase additional frame elements). Experts use it extremely rarely due to the low reliability of fastening and certain requirements for the initial evenness of the walls.

• Plasterboard partition frames can be made of wooden beam However, in order to avoid deformation of the structure and inevitable damage to the outer cladding, only properly dried wood should be selected. It costs more than wet, but will not cause unexpected geometric distortion.

• A metal profile as a basis for plasterboard structures can be attributed to best options- it is durable and reliable, has a low weight with high strength and allows you to install heat or sound insulating layers in the wall cavity under drywall.

Floor screed

The price of floor screed material is associated not only with strength characteristics, but also with heat-insulating, sound-proofing characteristics, as well as with the time of curing and evenness of the layer after laying.

Self-leveling floor allows you to achieve a perfectly flat and durable surface, ideal for laying parquet or solid board and laminate flooring

"Fine" materials

The choice of materials for finishing work directly affects the appearance of the apartment. It is the finish that is more susceptible to the influence of internal mechanical and external atmospheric factors and, if the quality of the material is insufficient, it may soon deteriorate under their influence.

Wallpaper

cheap paper wallpaper lagging behind the walls with increasing humidity or temperature changes. They often burn out if they are hit by direct Sun rays. Under mechanical action (for example, if the wallpaper is pasted where the walls are often touched), the paper wears out very quickly - first the paint applied to the wallpaper disappears, then the base begins to collapse.

Modern manufacturers offer a large selection of innovative materials - universal vinyl, fabric and velor designed for dry rooms, moisture-resistant glass.

Flooring

Of great importance is the choice of flooring. Thin and not resistant to mechanical damage, linoleum can quickly tear or get dented, especially if you use transforming roll-out structures or heavy furniture is installed in the room.

Durable materials are selected based on operating conditions. In dry living rooms parquet that does not go out of fashion can be installed. A compromise flooring option can be considered a durable wear-resistant laminate.

Choose the type of flooring depending on the conditions of its use

Has maximum moisture resistance floor tiles, which makes it indispensable for the kitchen, bathroom or combined bathroom. Among other advantages of floor ceramics is impact resistance and resistance to dirt. The floor lined with such material will not receive dents or scratches during operation. It is easy to clean it from any stains, including using household chemicals.

When purchasing wall tiles, the benefits of products from well-known and reputable brands become apparent already at the laying stage. All elements have strictly the same geometric parameters (width, height, thickness), which makes it possible to avoid the defect common when using cheap ceramics - different-sized seams that spoil the appearance.

Tiles from well-known manufacturers will certainly have an ideal geometry and, as a result, even seams will be obtained during installation

Expensive tiles do not have chips and cracks and are not prone to their formation, which allows you to purchase the required amount of material according to the layout and not spend money on a “stock taking into account the likelihood of marriage”.

plinth

Don't underestimate the importance of the little things. The quality of floor and ceiling plinths separating borders and other elements is very important.

Pay attention to the quality and evenness of skirting boards and moldings

The unsightly appearance of such accessories can spoil the overall picture of the repair.

To date, not everyone knows the specific list of necessary materials for the repair of an apartment. Therefore, it makes sense to consider this point in more detail here.

What materials are needed for cosmetic repairs?

Of course, before the very beginning of such a laborious and difficult process, it is necessary to decide what kind of repair will take place: major or cosmetic. Just before purchasing materials, you need to clearly decide what to do next. In the event that cosmetic repairs are planned, the list will consist of a small and minimal number of necessary items.

The process of carrying out this kind of repair comes down to the fact that the floor is replaced, the ceiling is whitewashed or painted, and the wallpaper is also replaced. The main point here is to purchase all the necessary building mixtures intended for this. In addition, if repairs are carried out by specialized teams of workers, in some cases additional purchases are required (suits for workers).

Immediately before this, you need to familiarize yourself with how to put them into practice later, how exactly they are bred, in what proportions, find out what their brands are, what manufacturer, and also the production time. In this case, special attention should be paid to the fact for which activities and works these materials are suitable, namely, inside the building or any room or outside.

Subtleties in the choice of materials

When a ceiling is repaired and painted, it is necessary to choose a paint that is specifically designed specifically for ceilings. In the same case, when a decision is made to whitewash, whitewash should be purchased. Here with this moment often there are some problems. Thus, immediately before the start of whitewashing, it is necessary that the entire ceiling is smooth and perfectly even, and the whitewashing process itself must be carried out in several stages. That is why it is better to trust such a process to experienced professionals and qualified workers.

The next process is to wallpaper the walls. To date, the choice of wallpaper is not such a difficult task, their range is very large, and there are a great many varieties, shades and colors on the markets. Then we buy glue for a separate type of wallpaper. Can be used for flooring different kinds linoleums, laminate, parquet boards. In addition, at this stage, materials are purchased that are intended for fixing the floor coverings present.

What materials are needed for a major overhaul?

Here, the main part of such materials is the same attributes as in cosmetic repairs. In addition, there are frequent cases when additional purchases are also required, such as suits for workers. However, for carrying out overhaul some items in the list of materials need to be corrected and supplemented.

When leveling floors and walls, sand and cement are needed. These materials are an indispensable condition, because the guarantee of a flat surface is a completely high-quality repair. It's no secret that no matter how high-quality and expensive wallpapers and floor coverings are, they still will not look very impressive on uneven floors and the same walls.

Immediately before the alignment process itself, a screed must be made, and for this, appropriate special materials should be purchased. There are self-leveling floors on the construction market, with the help of which it is quite possible to make the existing surface smooth and perfectly even. The main advantage of such floors is the fact that they dry in five or six hours. In the event that floors were insulated before this process, then heaters will be needed. The final stage will be new switches, corresponding sockets, as well as baseboards and fasteners for them.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site! How to choose the right building materials for the renovation of an apartment or house, so that they fit the interior style you have chosen. In order not to waste money on those that do not fit, it is for your interior style.

It describes modern building materials, their characteristics, purpose, composition, properties, classification, photos - everything you need to know to select and use them in do-it-yourself repairs.

Also, you can check out famous interior styles apartments and houses, more interior styles. And of course, beloved by many ethnic interior styles , styles of different countries and peoples. Hobby interior styles are very popular.

Familiarize yourself with the necessary construction tools for repairs apartments or houses. Find out about mixed interior styles, perhaps here you will find the right style.

Preparation for rough finishing

First, you must conduct all communications: Conduct water supply and drainage (kitchen, bathroom), conduct electrical cable distribution to consumers (sockets, switches, lighting fixtures, underfloor heating with electric heating, there is also a heated floor with a heating system - you also need to ).

They are divided into:

Building materials - for rough finishing:

Draft flooring- (framework, lags, concrete screed), insulation (mineral wool, expanded clay, GVL-special for floors, plywood, chipboard-also, for screeding wooden floorboards)

Draft flooring on the walls- a frame made of metal profiles or wooden bars for dry plastering - gypsum board, gypsum board, plywood, chipboard, possibly fiberboard, but fiberboard is rarely used now and of course heat and sound insulation is mineral wool, although I recommend stone wool.

Draft flooring for ceilings- similar to wall-mounted ones, only everything is in a lightened state - a frame made of a ceiling metal profile or wooden thin bars, sound, heat insulation can also be used. For filing the ceiling, thin, flexible sheets of GVL, GKL, fiberboard are used, and for strength - plywood or chipboard.

Building materials - for finishing:

Floor finishing — parquet board, laminate, carpet, self-leveling floor, cork flooring, linoleum (linoleum is not recommended for use in residential areas, especially in bedrooms and children's rooms, it emits harmful substances during the entire operation).

Wall finishing– dry plaster (GVL, GKL), decorative, silk plaster, painting, wallpapering, applying graphite paint, frescoes.

Ceiling finishing- gluing flexible polyurethane moldings, cornices, painting or simply fixing stretch ceilings.

Decorative filling of the interior.

Well guys, love it!

List of building materials for renovation

GVL, GKL, SML

GVL, GKL, LSU- these are plasterboard sheets, a kind of sengwich - building gypsum, pressed between two sheets of reinforced cardboard, impregnated with special resins. Last added glass. Designed for interior decoration walls, ceiling cladding, in the manufacture of partitions.

Chipboard

Chipboard- chipboard. It consists of pressed chips on glue, with the addition of mineral resins (for durability), between veneer sheets. Veneer sheets can be laminated and plain grey. Gray chipboard is used for rough finishing, and laminated - with a wood pattern (ash, oak, pine) for the manufacture of furniture.

Recently, tongue-and-groove chipboard has appeared, it is moisture resistant, easy to use. can be brought to any floor without problems in a multi-storey building due to its small size. Designed for leveling floors and walls, ceilings frame roofs and because it is tongue-and-groove, then the entire area is obtained as one monolith, therefore it serves at the same time as heat and sound insulation. At the moment, it has proven itself well in construction circles.

Guides (p-shaped metal profile)

Guides (p-shaped metal profile)- this is a frame for plasterboard sheets plus fasteners attached to the base (wall, ceiling). The types of metal profiles are different, as I wrote earlier, there are thicker ones for floors, thinner ones for walls, then for ceilings. A new, flexible metal profile has appeared, which takes the form of an arc, for a relief ceiling, now it is not necessary to bite in several places to make the profile an arc. New option very comfortable, you can quickly bend and fix.

Dowels, anchor "molly", dowels "butterfly"

Dowels are fastening materials to walls, ceilings, floors or other materials: chipboard, plywood, timber, GVL. Dowels are plastic and metal.

Dowel "butterfly"

Dowel «Butterfly»-1

Dowel "Butterfly", so named because of its shape, similar to the wings of a butterfly. Appeared relatively recently.

Very handy dowel, designed for drywall work. If there is a void behind the drywall slab (empty distance between the slab and the base - brickwork or concrete) or filled with sound, heat insulation. That simple dowel will not hold, but will simply fall out of the hole. For this, the dowel "Butterfly" was created. When twisting, the “wings” of the dowel open up and capture a large surface for holding the material. Can support weight up to 20 kg.

Anchor "Molly"

Anchor "Molly"-1

The Molly anchor has the same principle as the Butterfly dowel. Only it is made of metal and is designed for stronger material: concrete walls, brick, concrete blocks, lintels.

Anchor "Molly"-2

Fasteners for metal profiles

Fasteners for metal profiles- these are fasteners for fixing the frame and metal profile to the base (walls, ceilings). There are fasteners different types designed to level the surface of walls, ceilings, floors and adjustable distance from the base ( brickwork, floor slabs). It is used to give relief to walls, multi-level ceilings.

Building materials for repair - fasteners for metal profiles

It is important that flowers, greenery and an aquarium with fish are suitable for any style of interior and any design of apartments and houses. These interior elements are beyond competition! They will complement, dilute or decorate any style and design of apartments and houses.

For industrial construction building materials are offered: floor slabs PC, PB and PNO, as well as industrial reinforced concrete for the construction of cottages, houses, high-rise buildings, kindergartens, schools. For private construction it is proposed brick, gas silicate block and floor slabs without prepayment, with the ability to pay for the order upon delivery. All this is offered at the concrete goods plant with a flexible system of discounts.

Decorative plaster

decorative plaster is a mixture of gypsum, lime, alabaster.

DIY decorative plaster

Plasters can be divided by purpose:

• • Ordinary plasters - designed to level walls (create smoother surfaces) and protect the external walls of buildings from environmental influences.

• • Special plasters - used as insulating and screening layers (sound-absorbing, heat-saving, X-ray protective, etc.)

• Decorative plasters - used for finishing walls, ceilings, structures to enhance their aesthetic expressiveness.

Decorative plasters, in turn, are divided into the following types:

• Colored plaster that is ideal for finishing internal walls, door and window openings of wall niches.

Building materials for repairs - colored plaster

• • Venetian plaster. This type of plaster in its own way appearance looks like real marble.

• • Sgraffito is a type of plaster that got its name due to the peculiarities of its application.

• Stone plaster - in appearance it is similar to natural stone.

Building materials for repairs - stone plaster

• • Terrazit plaster. This type is suitable for interior walls and facades.

• Silk plaster (it is also called liquid wallpaper) - designed for interior work. Nonflammable, does not accumulate static electricity. The material consists of natural or synthetic fibers, mineral fillers and various decorative additives. It is applied with a plastic spatula on surfaces plastered and coated with a primer or oil paint. It has various color and texture solutions, has no smell, when applied, a seamless coating is obtained, the material is elastic and does not crack when the walls “shrink”. The main disadvantage is poor moisture resistance, but when treated with moisture-proof varnish, it can also be used in rooms with high humidity (kitchen, bathroom).

Building materials for repair - silk plaster.

Laminate

Laminate is a floor covering consisting of four layers:

• • Bottom layer - stabilizing, serves to protect against deformation

• • Carrier layer - consists of high-strength fiberboard impregnated with moisture-resistant resin.

• • Decorative layer - consists of paper with a pattern of wood grain, tiles, stone, etc.

• The top layer - consists of special mineral resins, serves to protect against abrasion and shock loads.

Building materials for repairs - laminate

engineering board

engineering board is a floor covering consisting of three layers of solid wood, arranged perpendicular to each other, coated at the factory with an oil-wax or varnish coating. The top layer is made of valuable species of wood, the rest are of coniferous species.

Building materials for repair - parquet board

Fresco

Fresco, translated from Italian, artistic painting on wet plaster. Nowadays, frescoes are called any paintings on ceilings and walls, in fact, this is a very complex process, consisting of several stages of application in several layers. Each layer must dry before another layer is applied over it.

The material for application consists of special paints with the addition of sand, minerals, cobalt, glass, and even in the old days they added egg yolk, crushed eggshells, milk, flour for strength and color depth. The fresco is present in all the temples of the world.

Applying a fresco is a long and expensive work, therefore, now there are enterprises that make frescoes in the form of photo wallpapers (see photo below).

Made on a linen basis, with the addition of all the necessary modern components, covered with a protective varnish. On request, they can be artificially aged, with the appearance of visual "cracks".

Fresco in the dining room-1

Pano is made in different sizes, the seams between them are practically invisible, but on request they can make one-piece, large size, whatever you want.

I personally like the fresco very much, I recommend it to you, it is suitable for any style of interior and design of an apartment or house. Modern, practical, durable and very beautiful!

Decorative elements for the design of an apartment or house

Pilasters, semi-columns, columns, moldings, curtains, plinths, sockets for lamps

Thanks to the emergence of new technologies in the field of construction and repair, now with the help of decorative elements, you can recreate almost any style of interior and any design of an apartment or house.

They are made of materials of different cost: wood, plastic, polyurethane, polystyrene, plexiglass, gypsum. Expensive and heavy material is gypsum, it requires additional fasteners for dowels. cheap material- it is plastic, it is light and is attached to glue, for example, "liquid nails". All other materials are of average cost, but do not forget that in each material there are more pluses in some ways, and more minuses in some ways.

About all modern building materials in more detail (photo, description, purpose, types, types, advantages, disadvantages, procedure for working with the material) is described in

Draft materials for repairs - how much do they cost in Moscow?

The cost of rough materials for the repair of an apartment varies depending on the amount of work performed, their complexity, and the characteristics of the premises. However, the average estimated value of the cost of rough materials today is from 50 to 60% of the cost of repairing an apartment on a turnkey basis.

In some cases, this cost can reach the level of 70 or even 80% of . As a rule, such situations arise in the case of apartment renovations, where, due to the characteristics of the premises, additional work is required to level various surfaces.

Thus, knowing the cost of repairing an apartment, you can roughly determine the budget of your funds necessary for the purchase of rough building materials. Below we give some recommendations in case you wish to independently calculate the materials.

note that usually gypsum plasters are not used for leveling surfaces in rooms of “wet areas” - bathrooms, latrines, showers, etc. (unless the manufacturer has stated otherwise). This is due to the fact that gypsum has the ability to absorb moisture, that is, it has an increased hygroscopicity.

In the future, to finish leveling the surface of the walls for painting or wallpapering, you will need putty. Such a mixture is applied in a thin layer for two or more (up to five) times. As a rule, each layer is subjected to grinding. It is conditionally necessary to distinguish between two types of putties - “soft” and “hard” putties. Soft fillers ("Shitrok" or its analogues) are used in the case of preparing walls for their further covering with paint, and hard putties (Vetonit LR + and similar analogues) are used for subsequent pasting of walls with wallpaper. More "solid" fillers allow you to subsequently smooth the wallpaper without the risk of "slipping" of the putty layer. A combination of putties is also possible. For example, when painting walls, the base is made from stronger mixtures, and the finish layer is made from softer Shitrok. For processing 10 sq. m of wall surface twice, it is enough to use one bag of Vetonit LR + putty. Please note that for calculation purposes, the data shown here are averages. The scope of work, as well as the technologies and materials used, are determined by a professional foreman only based on the results of an inspection of the apartment premises.

So for alignment one square meter wall surface average would need:

• Primer "Concrete-contact" - 0.310 kg.
• Beacons - 1 m / length 1 pc. - 3m.
• "Corners" - 0.25 m / length 1 pc. - 3m.
• Gypsum plaster mixture - 12.50 kg (with a layer of 15 mm) / 1 bag - 30 kg.
• Putty - 2.5 kg (in two layers) / 1 bag - 25 kg.
• Primer - 0.3 kg.

Using a special calculator on the site, you can painting works on the surface of walls and ceilings, as well as to compare individual indicators of the highest quality paintwork materials. In addition, the online calculation system allows you to determine what is needed, indicating the number of rolls for the corresponding finishing area.

Draft materials for finishing the ceiling

For the installation of finishing layers on the surface of the ceiling, average consumption rates are applied finishing materials, provided for work on the surface of the walls (taking into account the limitation on the maximum thickness of the finishing layer). It should be borne in mind that in the case of leveling the surface of the ceiling with a gypsum plaster mixture, its thickness should not exceed 15 mm. Such plaster is applied in one layer. An additional expense item is the cost of drywall sheets and metal profiles, hangers and fasteners required for equipment false ceiling(the size of one sheet is 2.5m x 1.2m). In this case, there is no need to use plaster mixes. However, the surface of the GKL is also puttyed, as is the surface of the walls. When organizing niche lighting, the light from which will spread to the ceiling surface, work on leveling and painting the ceiling should be done with great care - such lighting can show the smallest flaws in leveling and painting the ceiling surface. By the way, European standards finishes in any case allow the presence of small shaded areas when checking the surface in a gliding light.

So for the device one square meter suspended ceiling when fixing GKL in one layer average would need:

• Ceiling profiles - 3.9 m.
• Profile extensions (60/27) — 0.69 pcs.
• Two-level profile connectors — 3.68 pcs.
• Hangers with clip — 1.83 pcs.
• Suspension rods - 1.83 pcs.
• Plasterboard sheets (12.5 mm) - 1.12 sq. m.
• Putty for sealing joints - 0.42 kg.
• Reinforcing tape - 0.68 kg.
• Separating tape 50 mm - 1.35 m.
• Primer - 0.3 kg.
• Putty - 2.5 kg (in two layers).

We recommend purchasing metallic profile well-known manufacturers, for example, Knauf. This profile matches technical requirements, has the declared strength and prevents the formation of cracks in the future, tk. it does not "sag" when exposed to the mass of the GCR.

floor surface

You should also consider the need to purchase during the course: films, nails, self-tapping screws, polyurethane foam, masking tape, mesh for reinforcing finishing layers, bags for loading construction debris. Each finishing layer is primed - the purchase of primers is an obligatory expense item (although not a large one). And don't forget about beacons - guides used when leveling various surfaces.

A separate item of expenditure is also the payment for transportation services. We tried to answer in detail the question of whether in Moscow. Of course, the carrier rates used in the calculations may differ, but the calculation methodology and the approximate amount of costs associated with this becomes clear.

If you have any questions - write! We will try to answer them.
