Many people choose to renovate their new homes in the summer, but due to the weather, there are also many quality and safety hazards in summer renovations. Today we look at the summer renovation tips summarized by experts, which will surely be of great help to you.

Precaution One:

Summer Renovation Safety First

The temperature is relatively high in summer, and the climate is dry. There are more materials piled up at the construction site. From a safety perspective, materials should be placed in cool places as much as possible to avoid combustion caused by poor air circulation and high temperatures, leading to fires. Materials should also be minimized on the construction site in summer to reduce potential accident hazards. In addition, electrical appliances and tools used during work should maintain a certain distance from the materials. When working with electricity, try to stay away from the materials, and it's best to make a reasonable division between the work area and the material area.

Precaution Two:

Ventilate Frequently to Prevent Pollution from Renovation

To avoid being harmed during the "high incidence period" of summer renovation pollution, in addition to trying to select non-toxic or less toxic decoration materials and hiring formal home renovation companies for construction, ventilation and air purification of the renovated room must also be ensured. Under permissible conditions, let the room ventilate as much as possible; if not, indoor ventilation devices and air purifiers that can reduce harmful gases indoors can be selected.

Precaution Three:

Moisture-proofing and Sun Protection

When purchasing wood products in summer, including main materials like plywood and auxiliary materials such as white wooden strips, corner lines, door edges, window frames, and baseboards along the walls, it's necessary to test the moisture content of the wood products. In building material markets, most wood product specialty stores should have wood moisture content testers. According to national regulations, the standard moisture content of plywood cannot exceed 12%. Experts suggest that when purchasing materials in the rainy season, drier ones can be chosen appropriately. When the materials arrive at the site, they can be left for one or two days to adapt to the surrounding humidity, making them more suitable for use.

In addition, boards should be protected from intense sunlight. When humidity is high due to rain, storage measures need to be taken to prevent moisture and deformation. Do not place boards or wood in rooms directly exposed to sunlight, as strong sunlight will accelerate the aging of paint and glue on wooden decorations. Also, prevent rainwater from causing wood to swell, deform, or even mold, so attention should be paid in daily life.

Precaution Four:

Wallpaper and Paint Should Dry Naturally

Paint and wallpaper are commonly used wall decoration materials. In spring, because of the humid air, windows and doors are opened wide to let the walls dry quickly. Summer is different; because of the dryness, wallpapers are generally soaked in water before pasting, and then glued and laid down. If windows and doors are opened widely at this time, allowing the newly laid wallpaper to be blown by cross-drafts, the wallpaper may shrink and deform due to rapid water loss.

Precaution Five:

Remove Moldy Smell

In home renovations, it is common to encounter issues where latex paint dries slowly and becomes moldy and smelly in hot and humid weather. For this, the universal method used by renovation companies is to turn on the air conditioning to dehumidify and remove moisture from the air; cabinet doors are left open to keep the air circulating. After renovation, various odors may linger, affecting people's health. The suggestion from renovation companies is to place more green plants after renovation, or put two or three lemons, oranges, or bananas in the room, which can effectively eliminate odors quickly.

Precaution Six:

Do Not Paint on Rainy Days

Experts suggest that whether for wood products painted with clear varnish or mixed oil, remember not to paint on rainy days. On rainy days, ask the construction team to do other tasks first, or even temporarily stop work for two days, rather than doing painting jobs on rainy days.

Precaution Seven:

Seasonal Issues Should Not Be Repaired Hastily

In spring, the air humidity is high, and the moisture content in walls, floors, and wooden furniture is relatively high. As summer approaches, the air gradually becomes dry, and seasonal changes may cause some problems, such as floorboards shrinking and gaps widening between boards; walls and door frames contracting differently due to different materials, resulting in gaps; and cracks appearing on walls. These are all normal phenomena during seasonal transitions. Repairing them at this time, as moisture continues to evaporate, may still result in wall cracking. It's better to wait until the wall moisture level matches the external climate for another repair, which will yield better results.

Precaution Eight:

Consider Radiators

Although you may not use radiators in the scorching summer, you will soon realize their importance in future living. Moreover, home renovation projects have "irreversibility," so no matter when you renovate, replacing radiators should always be considered. In current home renovations, replacing traditional cast iron radiators with modern steel tube radiators that offer better heating effects and attractive designs has become a trend. However, relevant departments should be notified beforehand.
