5 mistakes made during repairs that cannot be repeated

What's the “hardest” or funniest repair mistake you've ever seen? I'll share my example with you – masters first made metal-plastic windows for me without sills, and before I reached the house, they paid me respect and even installed them, although on the Internet you will come across even "harder" and funnier mistakes, which even the masters of my doors and windows would have a hard time repeating.

To create a proper mood for New Year, together with construction and repair materials company "Citadeli", we will share with you 5 funny mistakes and relevant advice so that these things do not happen to you.

What to consider when repairing:

Maybe it was the home owner's idea and the masters have nothing to do with it? what do you know...

If you decide to install central heating, first take into account the heat losses of your apartment, space or room. If the apartment is designed correctly and the radiators are correctly distributed according to the area, the heating boiler will no longer need to work at high temperatures. If you realize that the radiators do not heat your house enough, it means that a mistake has been made in their quantity or installation locations.

Most importantly, the owner of the house should follow a strict diet

When choosing a door, we should take into account the load it will bear and the interior design. If the attention is more focused on other details, whether it is the color of the walls or furniture, then it is better to choose more neutral tones for the door, if we refer to a plainer interior, then we can refresh the environment with the door.

"Citadeli" specialists recommend an MDF door, the main advantage of which is strength and resistance to moisture.

The experienced consultants of "Citadeli" will choose the right door for your interior, most importantly, with the right dimensions.

More light in our windows

In order not to create such a chaos in the ceiling, it is better to ask a specialist how to distribute the lamps so that all corners of the room are illuminated equally. Every room needs lighting selection based on its specifics. If the room area is large, then the lighting can be divided into zones. If we are dealing with a small space, then one chandelier or several, properly distributed lamps can be enough. Most importantly, when repairing, the electrical cables must be properly routed so that the lamps are symmetrically and correctly attached.

Saving on utility bills while doing business at the same time

Before the specialist starts wiring, think carefully about where you want to place the switches and at what point what kind of furniture should be placed. It often happens that after the renovation, the switches/sockets are not only installed at wrong angles, but sometimes they are not enough. The advice of "Citadeli" consultants is to install one more rosette than you had planned.

When the master was only obliged to do one specific thing but he did this work of art for you

Leaving aside this ridiculous (for us) and tragic mistake and unprofessionalism for the owner of the house, Citadeli specialists give us advice on how to choose the laminate correctly, and then it's the floor master’s turn. The distinguishing features of laminate are class and thickness. When laying it, it is necessary to take into account the above-mentioned characteristics, so that the floor does not lose its shape, does not get damp, and does not have to be replaced soon, which is related to additional costs.

"Citadeli" explains that laying a laminated floor on an uneven surface causes its fasteners to break, so it is important to prepare everything according to the rules before the laying process. In addition, floor load and other important details should be considered.
