How to protect the surface before apartment renovation?
Securing surfaces during renovation and construction are activities that must be performed with due precision. Even simple painting of an apartment requires protection of equipment and surfaces, such as floors and windows, against accidental contamination. Similarly, in the case of renovation, e.g. of a roof, where the entire work is usually completed in a few days, it is necessary to properly protect the building against water, moisture and wind. In this case, the basis is construction foil . When it is made of high-quality materials, it provides effective protection against unfavorable weather conditions.
Your pre-renovation shopping list should also include a construction bucket and a rubble bag . These accessories are essential, especially since construction waste and debris cannot be thrown into standard garbage. The bags should be solid and durable to avoid the risk of tearing, e.g. when removing rubble from a house or apartment. Similarly, a construction bucket that will be used throughout the renovation.
What basic tools will be useful during renovation?
The choice of appropriate tools for renovation depends primarily on the work to be performed. If it is a small renovation, during which the apartment is to be "refreshed" or the colors on the walls are changed, basic painting accessories are enough, such as rollers, brushes, paint trays, as well as tapes and foil protecting the surfaces and equipment in the apartment against dirt. However, if fluting is to be performed, the following will be necessary: glue mixer , grouting trowel . When replacing silicone, a special silicone spatula will certainly come in handy. A concrete mixer will also be great for some jobs.
Very often, renovation works also include the application of plaster, in which case a plaster trowel will be needed. Applying the plaster layer on the wall requires thorough sanding; companies that professionally apply plaster coats use special plaster vacuum cleaners and the so-called giraffe for grinding. Many jobs will also require electrical equipment, such as drills, screwdrivers, etc.
