1. Generally speaking, decoration in summer is better than decoration in other seasons, especially winter decoration. The advantages of summer decoration are:
1. It is easy to find a decoration master with good skills
It is easier to select workers with good skills during this period. In summer, the days are long, and the working hours of decoration workers are relatively longer, which is also very helpful to speed up the progress of the project and shorten the construction period.
2. The material is environmentally friendly and easy to identify
When the temperature is high in summer, it is easier to identify the quality of the material. The high temperature in summer will make the toxic substances in the board volatilize faster, making it easier for the owner to judge. Whether the main materials or materials used by decoration workers are environmentally friendly.
3. The construction effect is good in summer
After the renovation is completed in summer, more projects with more problems will be reflected. In autumn, the air becomes dry and the gaps between wooden floors increase. Problems such as wallpaper cracking are easy to occur, which helps owners discover hidden decoration defects and repair them in time.
4. The effect of woodworking painting is better
Although there is a lot of humid weather in summer, in fact, the effect of painting in summer will be better. As far as woodworking is concerned, the temperature in summer is high and the air contains less ash, which allows the paint film to form well. Moreover, the paint dries quickly and is polished in time. In this way, the gloss of the paint can be fully displayed, and the paint surface produced by brushing will have the best effect.
5. It is convenient to eliminate wall problems
Generally, the temperature is humid in summer, and the putty scraped before painting the wall can slowly dry out, instead of being painted due to "surface dryness" The paint will eventually fall off, affecting the construction effect of the wall. This fundamentally avoids common wall chalking, blistering and cracking problems.
6. The ceramic tiles are more firmly adhered
Due to the high temperature in summer and the rapid evaporation of water, in order to ensure that the ceramic tiles fully absorb water, most bricklayers will soak them in advance, and some will need to do it twice. Soak the tiles in water for the first time, so that the tiles that have absorbed the moisture can stick to the floor and walls docilely. Moreover, after the surface of the ceramic tiles is soaked with water, you can open the windows for ventilation and let it dry naturally, and the ceramic tiles will stick more firmly.
2. Precautions for summer decoration:
1. Pay attention to fire prevention and other safety during summer decoration
The temperature in summer is very hot, and interior doors and floors will be piled up during interior decoration. There are a lot of wooden building materials, so fire prevention is the top priority for summer decoration. During construction, wall paint, oil and other flammable items should be stored in a cool, ventilated place indoors and should not be placed on a balcony exposed to direct sunlight. Workers should be supervised to clean the construction site regularly and remove wood chips, paint scale and other combustible items. Try to avoid placing a large number of wood products indoors to prevent sparks from burning building materials when using power tools.
2. Ventilate frequently to prevent pollution caused by decoration
For summer decoration, in addition to using non-toxic and less toxic decorative materials as much as possible and hiring a regular decoration company for the construction, you must also Do a good job in ventilation and air purification of the decorated room. If conditions permit, try to ventilate the room as much as possible; if conditions do not exist, indoor ventilation devices and air purification devices that can reduce indoor harmful gases can be used.
3. Moisture-proof and sun-proof
When purchasing decoration materials in summer, you can choose drier ones. When the materials come into the site, leave them for a day or two to make them have the same humidity as the surroundings. , which is more appropriate to use. In addition, the boards should be protected from strong sunlight; if it rains and the humidity is high, moisture-proof and deformation-proof measures need to be taken during storage. Do not place boards or wood in rooms exposed to direct sunlight. Sun exposure will accelerate the aging of the paint and glue used to decorate wood products. It is also necessary to prevent rainwater from causing swelling, deformation, and even mildew in wooden products.
4. Wallpapers and paints should be dried naturally in the shade
For summer decoration, wallpapers should be soaked in water before being laid, and then glued. If you open the doors and windows at this time and let the freshly laid wallpaper blow into the "draft", the wallpaper will shrink and deform due to rapid loss of water.
5. Soak ceramic tiles as much as possible
In summer, because the materials are drier than usual, the soaking treatment should be extended for floor tiles, ceramic tiles and other materials that need to be soaked in water. time to bring the water content close to saturation. In this way, there will be no situation where the tiles are dry and absorb water from the cement during bonding, resulting in weak bonding with the cement, hollowing, and falling off.

6. Tightly paved wooden floors
When paving wooden floors, the gaps should be closer than normal to prevent the gaps from becoming larger when the temperature drops and affecting the appearance. At the joint between the floor and the wall, skirting lines can be used to form a transition, which not only eliminates the disadvantage of excessive gaps between the wall and the floor, but also plays a beautifying role.
7. Don’t paint on rainy days
There is a lot of rain in summer. For wood products, whether you are painting varnish or mixing oil, remember not to paint on rainy days. On rainy days, ask the construction team to do other work first, or even suspend work for two days. Don't do painting work on rainy days.
8. Don’t rush to fix seasonal problems
The air gradually becomes dry in summer. At this time, some problems may occur due to seasonal changes, different temperatures and humidity, such as the shrinkage of wooden floors. , the gaps between the boards increase; the walls and door frames are made of different materials and have different shrinkage rates, resulting in gaps; cracks appear on the walls, etc. These are all normal phenomena that occur during seasonal changes. If repaired at this time, the moisture will continue to evaporate, and the wall may still crack. You should wait until the moisture on the wall and the outside climate are suitable before repairing, so that the effect will be better.
