Renovating at home and tearing out tiles too troublesome? Here's a trick to save time, effort and renovation costs.

Speaking of renovation, many people probably know that renovating is quite a troublesome matter. Especially the floor, the floor is the tone of the whole home; if done well it can make the whole home especially stylish and let you live comfortably.

Recently Huahua's aunt's home was being renovated, and a few days ago when Huahua went to her aunt's house to hang out, she discovered something interesting. Because her aunt wanted to give the whole home a complete makeover, but since they live in an apartment building, and her aunt also wanted to replace the floor, swapping the original porcelain tile floor for a wood floor, giving her home a big refresh!

But the problem is that if the tiles at home are removed, first, because it's an apartment building it would be too much of a disturbance to the neighbours, and second, after removal the ground would become uneven, and a layer of material would still need to be applied to the ground before the floor could be laid again. This troubled her aunt terribly, but who knew that during the days Huahua visited, she happened to see her uncle laying a wood floor, and the tiles at home had not been removed either. Huahua thought: what kind of operation is this?

After Huahua asked and got it clear, she found out that her uncle, just to save trouble, had not removed the floor and had directly laid the wood floor on top of the porcelain tile floor; this way the operation was simple and saved trouble. When handling it, you only need to remove the floor's skirting board and grind it flat, and then you can lay it on top.

This matter sounds simple and looks simple too, but you still need to handle the details a bit more thoroughly. For example, you must grind the floor flat; if it is not ground flat and gaps are left, the ground is very likely to let moisture seep up, which will make the surface of the wood floor become uneven due to the formation of air holes. Be sure to pay attention.

Uncle said doing it this way is simply too convenient; it originally did not take much time, and doing it this way saves time and energy, and even saves on renovation money. However, when laying the floor you still need to pay attention to whether your floor is uneven; if it is uneven or has raised corners, you must make the floor flat!

When laying the floor, be sure to pay attention to the floor's dryness. It is best not to mop the floor before laying it, and to keep it dry for two or three days, so that when laying the wood floor there will be no conditions like moisture or dirt. Also pay attention to places that need doors opened or closed; if it is a sliding rail door for a partition then it does not matter much, but if it is just an ordinary sliding door, you still need to pay attention to adjusting the distance for the door or leaving a certain distance for the door when laying the floor.

Has everyone understood the "little wisdom" about uncle that Huahua shared today? If any friends have a home being renovated and want to give their home a "big transformation"! You might as well try this method, it is very practical!
