Renovation of a country house. Basic moments

How to do quality repair cottages and the surrounding area with their own hands
Sometimes, even the most beautiful, comfortable, practical and well-groomed cottage needs repair. This applies not only to the main buildings, but also to landscape design, and therefore today we would like to raise a serious topic and talk about how to repair the cottage and put the territory in order.

Content:

Every summer resident must understand that a country house and the entire surrounding area is a serious responsibility and many hours of painstaking work. Even those people who buy a house and a plot not for growing vegetables for seaming, but for cheerful evening gatherings in nature, should from time to time put their property in order, because time takes its toll, and everything tends to deteriorate, decay, take not very nice view, and therefore, simply die.

In order to improve the situation on our own, we decided to make a short review, where we want to remind you of the work that is required in the country. Of course, it is not necessary to do turnkey repairs to the cottage every year, but it would not hurt to keep everything in working, acceptable and good condition.


Do-it-yourself dacha repair is a great way to return practicality and pleasantness to your home and territory. appearance


Do-it-yourself repair of a country house

We are used to saving on everything, and this is not an indicator of stinginess, but only practicality, because there are a lot of expenses in the country, and it would be right to minimize them, especially since working with our hands is always more interesting than getting ready-made.

So, let's look at the repair of the dacha from the inside, because every year the materials deteriorate and some rooms require updating.

Repair of the veranda in the country

The veranda, the corridor and the hallway are the rooms that welcome us into the house. At the same time, they are a kind of cutters of summer heat, winter cold and even flies, which can be quickly driven out of the room so that they do not go further into the house. Therefore, we believe that everything here should be in in perfect order always. First of all, it is required to insulate the veranda, process the doors and windows in order to create tightness and prevent drafts from entering the house. Further, the floor and ceiling, and, accordingly, the roof of the veranda. We will not talk about the design, because each of us has a different taste.


We repair and insulate the veranda in the country with our own hands


Kitchen renovation in the country

In the kitchen, the stove must constantly work, water should flow, evaporation and temperature changes should occur, which must also be consistent with finishing materials. Here they can become unusable even faster than in other rooms. Therefore, as soon as country house it becomes warm, it is necessary to carry out the prevention of mold and fungus, infections and insects, tint surfaces, twist cabinets, tables and chairs. It is very important to monitor the sewerage, plumbing, electricity, because communications and even more so, everything should be in order.

Of course, they can be very different variants, for example, not an electric stove, but a gas one, or even a heating stove, where soot cleaning will be necessary, or maybe it’s a summer kitchen in general, where repairs are sometimes required brick oven in a country house or even a leaking roof. Therefore, be attentive to the nuances.


We repair, put in order and equip the country kitchen with high quality


Bedroom and living room renovation

There are no special requirements here, except for those that you yourself set for these premises. Therefore, just carry out cosmetics and preventive maintenance annually, putty cracks, whiten or paint walls, varnish wood trim, try to protect the wood in the country house from which the furniture is made, as well as other equipment and decoration materials.


It is highly desirable to tidy up the rest interior spaces country house


The repair of the dacha inside is over, and therefore we go out into the street and carefully examine the house and other buildings.

Renovation of a country house outside

Going out into the street, you can notice a lot of defects that our country house needs. It seems to us that each of them needs to be eliminated as money comes in and according to the freedom of time, but it’s not worth delaying either, because many serious elements of the dacha simply cannot be launched.

Repair of the foundation of the cottage

Be sure to pay attention to the foundation, because this is really the most important element building that supports the whole house. The foundation must be solid, well-plastered, without cracks, so as not to let in moisture and not deteriorate. Also, it must be protected. special impregnation or materials. In more serious and expensive buildings, natural or artificial stone can play this role, but sometimes resin or bitumen will help, which can even process the entire base.


Repair of the foundation of a country house is one of the most important processes


Repair of the roof of the cottage

Every warm season, pay attention to the roof, because it doesn’t matter that the roof of the building is slate, tile or ondulin, the main thing is that the roof is solid. You can specifically wait for the rain and see where the roof is leaking and, even if there are no leaks, roof repairs in the country may be needed. The reason is that not all roofing material survives the summer calmly, and it is better to replace defective, beaten or broken ones immediately.


Do not forget to evaluate the quality of the roof of a country house in time and repair the roof in time


Repair of walls in the country

• If you need to make repairs wooden dacha outside, try to insulate the facades at the same time. At first preparatory work and processing protective compounds, then insulation and insulation film as required, then finishing or special facade panels, plaster and decorative bricks.
• If it is necessary to make repairs to the cottage with brick walls, you can use the same method and algorithm, just choose a more suitable material.
• Repair old dacha it is necessary to carry out strictly according to the technology by which it was built, because it is quite realistic that the house in the country is an old mud hut, where clay and even manure will need to be used.


Do-it-yourself repair and insulation of the walls of a country house: fast, easy and fairly inexpensive


Insulation of a country house is always good, the main thing is not to forget in this process to repair the walls that have cracked or peeled off.

Repair of country communications

• On the this stage you should study the electrician well, check for dangerous bare wires, replace some cables, switches, circuit breakers, and so on.
• An audit of the water supply in the country house will not hurt either, perhaps repair of wells in the country house is necessary, repair pumping stations, replacement of taps or even pipes.
• Undoubtedly, at this stage, it is worth taking care of the sewerage in the country house, cleaning it, draining the sewage pit, and checking the septic tank.
• Try to link heating in the country to these works, because it is much easier to make minor repairs and preventive maintenance in the warm season than to be nervous when it is already cold in the house and nothing works stably.


Do not forget to pay attention to the septic tank, plumbing, sewerage, electrical wiring in the summer cottage


It is imperative to carry out any such repairs in complete safety, for example, with the power supply turned off, water, and so on.

Having figured out how to make a major overhaul in the country or just tweak everything to working condition, you can move from home to the landscape and surrounding areas. Of course, we forgot to talk about many buildings, such as sheds, summer kitchens, temporary huts and garages, but in fact, this is the same minor repair in the country or a larger one, because all buildings are almost identical, they have walls, a roof, a floor and interiors. .. do not worry, we will definitely touch on something from the list.

Country yard: repair, fixes, updates

Agree, after the repair of floors, stoves and roofs in the country, after the revision and amendments of communications, as well as additional work for warming and some internal retrofitting of a country house, the most original ideas cottage renovation. But now is not the time to be distracted, because the original and useful ideas for a summer residence, such as a firewood shed or a playground, we still have time to arrange it, but the repair of the summer cottage is not waiting.


Works with landscape design suburban area: cleaning, renovation, decoration


Fence repair in the country

The fence of the cottage should always be of high quality and reliable, and rusty metal fence or a picket fence tilted from old age is not the case. We pick up a tool and put things in order, align, brew, clog and be sure to protect from atmospheric phenomena special formulations, well, at least with simple paint.

Of course, you can always put new fence in the country, if the old one can no longer be considered a worthy fence, but if the budget for this is not calculated, then you can simply restore it.


Repair and restoration country fence: we put in order the fences of the cottage


Gazebo, greenhouse and barn... minor building repairs

Of course, we agreed to devote maximum time to the house and the territory, but these buildings were also given to us with sweat and blood, so that it would be so easy to take them and leave them to chance. No, no, this will not happen, and therefore we bring everything in order.

• We clean the gazebo from moisture, open it with varnish or stain and varnish, check the roof for leaks.
• We definitely prepare the greenhouse for the new season or we repair it during the summer. good roof, tightness, stable temperature and humidity, lighting, shelves and pots - everything must be of high quality and reliable, because the harvest that we are all waiting for depends on it.
• The barn should be dried and ventilated, be sure to disinfect, even just whitewash the inside with lime and tint the doors and trim, be sure to review the entire country tool and equipment, carry out preventive maintenance.
• The country shower should be sprinkled so that dirt from the water does not form under your feet, the plumbing is checked, and the watering can can be replaced if you forgot to remove it for the winter. Also, be sure to clean and wash disinfectant solution shower tank.
• We think you can handle the toilet yourself, the main thing is not to forget that there is always light here and the doors are closed. Also, pay attention to whether the toilet was flooded with spring snow, perhaps an emergency cleaning of the toilet is needed.


Attention should be paid to each summer cottage, including a barn, gazebo, barn, cellar


There are a lot of buildings in the country and they are different for each, and therefore we will simply tell you that each of them needs a careful examination and easy repair, believe me.

Repair of the country landscape

Naturally, after repairing the plumbing in the country, the wooden floor and doors in summer kitchen, I really want to get to the flower beds and lawns.

Check the paths, maybe they were washed away by rain and snow, fix them, add mortar, or simply hammer the loose tiles back with a rubber mallet.

Be sure to inspect the fences of the flower beds, sow the lawn, roll it and move on to more significant architectural forms. We will not talk about all of them, since not everyone has them in the country, but we will definitely pay your attention to pergolas and arches, green roof and hedge, country pond and a country fountain, bridges and recreation areas, where there is already a barbecue, barbecue and smokehouse.


Keep the territory clean, repair flower beds and small architectural forms in time


Repair in the country is cheap- it's not that difficult, you just need to do everything yourself.

Do-it-yourself dacha repair (video)

Repair of a country house, adjacent territory and landscape, each of us can do, because it is in our interests to tint the windows in the house, hang new doors on the barn, and even adjust the birdhouse in the country house, which has moved out of the fixtures.

It’s rather stupid to invest in a big renovation at the dacha: we live there for several months at most, and even then - on short visits; the room is unheated, temperature fluctuations are inevitable in winter - neither normal decoration nor furniture can endure such mockery. On the other hand, the soul asks for beauty: what kind of cottage is this if it does not please the eye.

Let's see what can be ways to quickly and inexpensively make summer cottage repairs.

Leave as is?

If you have a house made of timber - consider yourself lucky: you can not finish such walls at all. A tree in any healthy state has a chic “finish” appearance. The key word is healthy: no one has canceled fire and bioprotection. Treat the timber twice with an antiseptic (with breaks according to the instructions), and cover it with a colorless matte varnish on top - so that the dirt does not eat in and the sun does not sting.

To increase the comfort of wood finishes, use textiles. New curtains, covers, bedspreads are the easiest way to quickly transform the interior of a country house. Please note that the wooden background is quite active, so it is better to choose contrasting fabric colors: light wood - bright textiles, dark or medium intensity - light. Over time, the beam will begin natural way darken - it will be possible to return the original color only with the help of grinding.

We paint timber, lining ...

The beam can be painted in any color - for this there are paints, varnishes, waxes and stains.

They differ in composition (the most environmentally friendly - based on water and natural oils) and hiding power - that is, the degree of transparency. If you want to give color to the tree, but leave the texture - choose a translucent paint. For the street side of the wall, you should prefer elastic paints that are not afraid of temperature changes - alkyd, oil, and for the inside - breathable water-dispersion (more resistant) or water-based (cheaper). Better, of course, moisture resistant, with an antifungal component. It makes sense to spend money on silicate or silicone only in conditions of high humidity.

Before painting, prime the wood well - so the paint will go less (the primer will not allow it to be deeply absorbed) and the tan spots will not come out.

Advice: if your home smells desperately of dampness, and indeed your climate is humid, put it aside Painting works. First, the house should be dried, otherwise the result of painting is unpredictable. Works well with drying heat guns and building hair dryers. It is absolutely pointless to paint over pockets of mold or rot - the fungus will continue to destroy the walls and floor! Mold needs to be removed mechanically, dry the tree, sand it with sandpaper, treat with an antiseptic - and only then paint.

... and brick

A brick wall painted with a water-based emulsion is not only fashion element, which came to us from loft-style interiors, but also saved thousands of rubles on plaster and plasterers.

The invoice is there

OSP panels are also a fashionable element of decoration today. More precisely, it has been fashionable for many years, but now it has been decided not to hide the slabs made from wood chips. So if you did not have time to paste over them with wallpaper - and do not.

All OSP panels retain heat well in the house, but some are afraid of moisture. For “damp” rooms, it is worth choosing plates of OSB-3 or OSB-4 classes. For interior work in dry rooms, cheaper “one” and “two” will fit.

We paint on plaster

Plastered walls (plasterboard-lined or plywood-lined) can also be painted; the cheapest is acrylic water-based paint.

In order for the paint to adhere well to the surface, do not skimp on the primer. No primer - walls can be washed with water detergent to remove dust and grease.

If there are small cracks on the wall, and there is neither time nor desire to putty, you can choose paint with latex filler - it hides cracks up to 2 mm. By the way, in small areas (for example, part of a wall), a brush is more profitable than a roller, and on large areas, on the contrary, the roller uses less paint on square meter.

Advice: don't be afraid of "impractical" white color for walls - firstly, this is the cheapest paint, and secondly, on a white background, any bright object (for example, painted cans or an old tray, as in the photo) will look like designer decor. BUT next spring can be repainted.

Wallpaper: remove or leave?

Old wallpaper starting to peel off? Do not rush to rip them off the walls, assess the scale of the disaster. Fir trees fall off with canvases - there is nothing left to save, but if we are talking about several joints or corners - it is more profitable to glue. little trick: add a little PVA glue to the wallpaper glue (about 1: 6) - the canvas will hold on tighter.

Another situation: the wallpaper fell off, but there were areas glued tightly - thoroughly iron them through a wet cloth with an iron. After that, they can be scraped off.

Advice: in order to hide stains on the wallpaper, they produce special stickers in the form of birds, butterflies, airplanes, and the like.

Choosing a wallpaper

Wallpaper - the most budget version of the finish for a country house.

Surely you have scraps left after repairs in the apartment in your pantry. The rest can be found with friends. So it's possible paste over the wall in the style of "patchwork"- either in assorted "panels", as in this photo, or in rectangular pieces - as in the next one. Thus, it is better to decorate only one wall in the room - the decor comes out too rich. Paint the rest of the walls a neutral color. If you don’t want to mess with paint, pick up a couple of matching wallpaper colors and alternate them.

Advice: in specialized stores there are baskets with sale wallpaper - as a rule, these are the remains of collections, one or two rolls. They cost pennies. Choose and combine by color and texture.

Since our goal is to save money, the temptation is great to choose cheap paper wallpaper . This can be done if you are satisfied with repairs for one or two seasons. Paper quickly burns out from sunlight, gets dirty, absorbs moisture. Yes, and gluing such a coating is the worst thing: a little overexposed glue - it breaks. If we take paper wallpapers, then two-layer ones - they are not much more expensive than single-layer ones, but twice as strong.

However, the trick is that for giving it just makes sense to purchase good ones vinyl wallpapers . You'll probably only need a few, so don't spend too much - especially if you pick up the leftovers. But vinyl can be safely washed, it is much more durable than paper and, as a rule, looks much more beautiful. In addition, thick vinyl wallpaper with an embossed texture will relieve you of the need to level the walls. On thin ones, every flaw will be visible.

If you want to save money - do not choose wallpaper with large pattern A: there will be more waste. Budget print - small and abstract. You can do without waste with wallpaper in a vertical strip.

There is one more nuance when choosing a picture: look at the quantity sunlight in home. If there is a lot of sun, it is better to prefer calm colors to motley ones - otherwise it will ripple in the eyes.

Painting wallpaper

Wallpaper for painting they will cost less than usual (at a price per square meter), but most importantly, they will forgive the flaws of an unsuccessful docking: everything will be painted over. If the budget allows, choose non-woven vinyl wallpapers: although they are more expensive than analogues on paper basis, but they hold better, stick easier and do not warp. In addition, dense interlining will hide small irregularities on the wall. The most expensive and durable wallpaper for painting - fiberglass and fiberglass. These are materials for perfectionists.

Advice: it is desirable that vinyl wallpapers be of well-known (preferably European) brands - this is a guarantee that the polymer coating is made with pores. Cheap vinyl wallpapers do not “breathe”, so condensation can accumulate under them, preparing the ground for the invasion of the fungus.

With the world on tiles

Remains tiles also suitable for posting spectacular wall in patchwork style.

And if you still have a box of tile scraps, beat them into small pieces and lay out the mosaic.

Wall newspapers, wall books and wall cards

Instead of wallpaper, you can use newspaper strips - we glue them like a regular paper coating, but cover them with a colorless varnish on top.

The advantage of such a finish is that over time it will only look more interesting, and in a hundred years it will be possible to lead excursions here.

As wallpaper, you can use old geographical maps ...

... and even book pages. The last one is not so good fast way wall decorations, but it looks impressive.

wall of joy

If you know about the slate paint that is fashionable today, most likely you have already painted something in the apartment with it, and half a can of paint is idle. Make a wall-board in a country house - both children and adults will like to draw on it.

happy metal

Pair of perforated metal sheets- it's not only convenient system for storing pans in the country, but also an excellent finishing material

Kitchen - Style: Traditional

And roofing corrugated board is the easiest way to veneer a country bathroom. Neither water is terrible for him (the material has an anti-corrosion coating), nor frost. It will last at least half a century. Issued different colors but you can paint your own.

So that a fungus does not register between a sheet of corrugated board and a wall, it is worth choosing a coated material on which condensate does not collect. In addition, at the beginning of the season, it makes sense to unscrew the screws, remove the corrugated board and dry the corners thoroughly with a building hair dryer.

Other budget material - plastic panels . They are also not afraid of humidity and temperature changes, easy to install. Standard size- 270 x 25 cm.

But the fastest way to cover trouble spot on the wall - use textiles. For example, as a headboard. A piece of cheap felt and a piece of cork roll will do. So, take a look at what you have in your closet.

Gender will not change

That the wooden floor has dried up and lost marketable condition- still no reason to replace it. With the help of a stencil, the wooden floor is turned into a work of art. Each room can have its own paint and pattern.

Don't throw away paint residue- they are useful to update the furniture on the street and in the house. Today, assorted sets of chairs in the dining area are in fashion.

If the floor seems too cold to walk barefoot, you can lay on top linoleum- unlike laminate (which, moreover, is more expensive), it will not “lead” from temperature changes, drafts and high humidity. Thick linoleum does not need a perfectly flat base.

By the way, old carpet also should not be thrown away, even if it is frayed, holes and indelible stains have appeared on it. From a large piece, you can cut out an “animal skin” - for example, an elephant.

You can make one “patchwork” out of several old rugs - and even scuffs will look original on it.

Advice: to save on plaster, you can level the walls not completely, but only at the baseboard - so that there are no noticeable holes.

Often, even the most beautiful and well-maintained country houses and plots require repair work and ennoblement after a long and destructive winter. It is for this reason that many summer residents in the spring begin to think about how to repair the cottage with their own hands and put the territory in order so that they can spend time outside the city with pleasure.

Every summer resident should understand that country estates are a lot of painstaking work. And even if you bought a cottage not to set up a garden outside the city, but to have fun with friends, you must understand that the house on the site, as well as the site itself, must be properly maintained.

Of course, there is no need to overhaul the structure every year, but even country houses from block containers must be maintained in good condition.

We repair a country house

People in our country have long been accustomed to saving on everything, and an attempt to reduce such a parameter as the price of repairs by doing the work yourself will not only save money, but also make own hands for repairs, what will an interesting activity and cause for pride.

Let's look at seasonal repairs country house from the inside, because every year some building and finishing materials require updating.

The corridor, the hallway and the veranda are the rooms that meet us at the entrance to the house. At the same time, they represent a kind of delimiter between cozy atmosphere at home and summer heat or winter cold, and they are also a barrier to the penetration of flies, mosquitoes and other insects.

It is this purpose of such premises that suggests that they certainly need an annual cosmetic summer cottage repair with their own hands.

The necessary repair work on the veranda, in the corridor or hallway includes:

1. Warming of the veranda;
2. Treatment entrance doors and windows;
3. Floor and ceiling finishing;
4. Repair of the roof over the veranda.

Note!
We will not talk about the options and styles for decorating certain rooms in the country house, because each summer resident will certainly have his own ideas for repairing a summer house that he would like to implement.

Works in the kitchen

The kitchen is the room where the stove is constantly on fire, water flows from the tap, which means that there are constant evaporation and temperature changes. For similar operating conditions, the repair of old country houses and new ones should provide for competent selection finishing materials capable of withstanding such harsh conditions.

In the kitchen, even the highest quality finishes become unusable much faster than in any other room in the house.

This is precisely the reason why the following work should be done in the kitchen before the start of the season:

• Prevention of the occurrence and development of mold;
• Prevention of the occurrence and development of the fungus;
• Antiseptic treatment against infection;
• Treatment against insects;
• Surface painting;
• Twisting all loose furniture elements (cabinets, tables, chairs);
• Control of the state of communication systems (water supply, sewerage, electrical wiring).

Advice. In addition to the work presented, you may need to clean the soot if there is a stove in the kitchen, and also if it comes to, then work to fix roof leaks and repair brickwork may be required.

Refinement of bedrooms and living room

Repair of a country house, or rather, its living rooms, such as a bedroom or living room, will not require anything complicated from the owners. In these rooms, everything depends on your personal desires and preferences.

Of course, if you want to completely change the look, no one will bother you, but if we are talking about cosmetic repairs at the beginning of the season, then you can get by with the following activities:

1. Puttying cracks that have arisen;
2. Whitewashing or painting walls;
3. Lacquering of wooden surfaces (furniture, lighting etc.).

Advice. If you were able to allocate very little time for the production of such cosmetic repairs, and on your suburban area often there are power outages, then prevent the shutdown of work on long time you will be allowed to rent a diesel generator for a summer residence.

Facade finishing

Going out into the street, you can also notice many defects that your Vacation home, therefore, do-it-yourself repairs in the country house also consist in the production of the following facade and roofing works:

1. Foundation works. By the beginning of the season, the foundation should remain intact, without cracks. , protruding above the ground must be finished with specialized materials or impregnations. If cracks nevertheless occur, the problem should be eliminated with the help of natural or artificial stone, resin, bitumen, etc.;

1. Roofing. It does not matter what material was used to create the roof, the main thing is that its integrity and tightness are not violated. To control the condition of the roof, you can simply wait for the rain;
2. Wall repair. The types of these works directly depend on the material from which the construction was carried out:
   1. Repair wooden surface can be combined with the facade insulation procedure. This procedure should begin with the processing of wood with specialized compounds, then the selected insulation is laid, an insulating film is laid on it, and then the necessary finishing work is carried out;
   2. If the dacha was built of brick, then you can either simply repair the cracks on the surface by updating the finishing material, or insulate according to the described scheme;

You can update the interior of a country house without overhaul and construction sites. Change finishes, restore furniture, add textiles and decor - we tell you how easy it is to do redecorating in the country.

REPLACE OR COLOR THE FLOOR

The first thing to do is assess the condition of the flooring. Your next steps will depend on this. If you have a wooden floor in your country house and it does not creak or swell, the boards can be updated with varnish or paint. The white painted floor looks interesting - it immediately makes the interior of the premises fresher and more modern. If the flooring leaves something to be desired, you have no other option but to replace it. To give, choose wear-resistant and not capricious materials: laminate, linoleum - they can be put on the old floor if there are no large height differences.

UPGRADE THE WALLS

Walls are that part of the interior that is constantly in sight. Old peeling wallpaper or peeling paint is not the best setting for a country house, even if you only visit it on the weekends. Moreover, now the choice of materials is large: you can level and cover the surfaces with a new layer of resistant washable paint. Another option is to sew everything up with clapboard or imitation timber. lovers natural wood will leave the original texture and pattern of the material, and for those who prefer more modern version, it is possible to tint the walls with varnish or paint.

PROTECT WET AREAS

In order not to make cosmetic repairs often, consider in advance the protection of wet areas in the kitchen and bathroom. Where you cook and wash dishes, you can not do without kitchen apron- it will protect surfaces from splashes and exposure to hot air. In the bathroom, it is not necessary to tile all surfaces, as they do in apartments: just treat the wood with special antiseptics and anti-mold agents. And ventilate the room more often.

RENEW YOUR CEILING

multilevel plasterboard ceiling in the country you will meet infrequently - but he is not needed there. It is better to pay attention to the lining, which can be painted in any color, and to the imitation of beams - with them the atmosphere of a country cottage will immediately appear in the house.

UPHOLSTER YOUR FURNITURE

Buy full set furniture for the country - not always good idea. Think about what items you can easily update by changing the upholstery: old sofas, armchairs will gain a second life if you put them in the hands of a professional. If such services are not included in your summer cottage renovation budget, pay attention to fabric covers for furniture. They are inexpensive, they are easy to wash, and they perform the task of updating a sofa or pouffe perfectly.

Many of us have a cozy dacha outside the city, where it is so good to relax in the summer, you can take care of your garden, invite friends to barbecue, let the children frolic. Sooner or later, the owner of even the strongest country house I have to think about refurbishment.

External repair of a country house: stages

Inspection and work is carried out in the following order:

1. Roof. Since it is she who protects from weather phenomena such as rain and snow, her inspection and repair should be given Special attention. Most often used metal coating as the most durable, reliable and lightweight material at the same time.
2. Foundation. It should be inspected regularly as it is the main supporting structure. If you don't look after him, the dacha will simply collapse. Any defects should be corrected in a timely manner.
3. Walls. Here everything is limited only by finances and imagination. Can be covered with PVC panels - this is a popular and inexpensive option, light, practical and beautiful, reliably covering the layer of insulation and not allowing moisture to pass to it. We also offer tiling or artificial stone both according to our sketches and according to an individual project. The main thing is the high-quality preparation of the walls: they need to be leveled, primed, put an insulating layer of mineral wool. We bring to your attention both ventilated facades, that is, letting air in, allowing you to create micro-ventilation, and completely insulating, non-ventilated.

Stages of interior decoration

1. Planning
   • You should carefully study the plan of the house, the dimensions of the room, features engineering networks(heating mains, sewerage, electric networks).
   • Need to make some sort of design project rooms.
