Comers the walls and floor, check the condition of the ceiling, on the working surface you need to update the “apron”. In addition, it is necessary to repair or replace the doors, windows. In what condition is the plumbing and gas stove. Whether they are subject to replacement.
The first thing you need to do is think over all the little things. Decide what repair you will do. Either it will be a major overhaul (replacement of plumbing, gas stove, windows, floor, ceiling and walls), or cosmetic repairs (replacement of furniture, interior).
Divide all repairs into several stages.
As soon as you decide what the kitchen will be, calculate based on the parameters of the kitchen, how much and what materials are needed for repair. Take all the furniture from the kitchen and take care of the equipment (if you decide to replace it). Do not do this yourself, invite specialists. Remove the entire previous finish from the walls, ceiling and floor. Wipe everything and prepare for repair. Take out the garbage so that it does not hang under your feet. Choose furniture, equipment and kitchen decor in advance.
If you decide to replace the windows – provide this to specialists in installing new windows. Windows can be wooden or metal -plastic. Submit or replace the interior doors. Replace the wiring, sockets and switches. This should be done by an electrician.
To repair the ceiling and walls, you need to decide what a kitchen you will have. Today in the construction market there are thousands of different options for materials, technologies. The main thing is that you yourself decide in what style the interior of your kitchen will be. Finishing work start from the ceiling. It can be a stretch ceiling. But, you can paint it with water -based paint or make a suspended ceiling.
After the ceiling, align the walls with isohypsum and sataengips. If you decide to paste the walls with wallpaper, align them with sataengips in two layers, and for painting in three layers. When the walls and ceiling dry, treat them with sandpaper.
Now you need to do floor repair. If you want your floor to be smooth and smooth, make a cement screed or using self -leveling mixtures. Now you can lay the flooring or tile. Start this procedure from the window.
After manipulations with all surfaces, take up the decoration of the working wall, or “apron”. There is a sink, a gas stove, a desktop for cooking dishes, or a dishwasher at this wall. Most often, tiles are glued to the work wall. The rest of the kitchen can be pasted with washing wallpaper.
After you put the walls in order, you can cover the floor. You can put tiles, linoleum, laminate or parquet on the floor.
Most often, linoleum or tiles are placed on the kitchen. Previously, the floor must be cleaned. For gluing linoleum, you can use boostilate, special glue or PVA glue. Tiles are placed on a cement screed.
