Precautions when using wall panels for renovation of old houses

      The old house carries our memories and the past, and over time, the new house becomes an old one, gradually becoming dilapidated. Some people may choose to move to a new house, while others may choose to rebuild a new house. However, the old house is an emotional attachment, which contains memories of our past. More people still choose to renovate the house and continue living.

       Anyway, if you want to renovate an old house, you cannot avoid redecorating the old walls. The decoration of old walls has many precautions, and any slight carelessness can lead to problems.

      The simplest way is to use PVC wall panels. PVC wall panels do not require basic treatment and can be directly constructed on cement walls, directly avoiding formaldehyde pollution. Using embedded buckle installation technology, installation is convenient, fast, efficient, and avoids high labor costs. Its waterproof and moisture-proof performance is superior, and it will not breed mold even in rainy days. It can be said that PVC wallboard avoids almost all the problems brought by the old wall in the past.

       The common wall decoration of old houses generally includes latex paint, wallpaper, wall cloth, aged wall panels, etc., and the top is the original wall flat roof or gypsum board suspended ceiling. We should pay attention to this type of wall top renovation!

1、 Wall surface

      When renovating the walls of an old house, it is important to avoid installing wall panels directly on the original decoration, as it may cause expansion, deformation, or detachment in the later stages. The surface decoration and wall white gray paint should be removed, the surface floating ash should be removed, and then the wall panel should be installed to ensure the service life of the wall.

If the waterproof putty has aged for more than five years, it must be completely removed to the bottom of the wall during renovation, otherwise it will affect the construction quality and effect of the wall latex paint.

2、 Suspended ceiling

      When the roof of an old house is re suspended, the original decorative panel and wooden keel should be removed. If the light steel keel can be reused, the strength and surface rust of the keel should be carefully checked, and the fixing points should be loose. Choose a reliable keel and install the ceiling board.

3、 Precautions

      The ventilation of old houses is poor, and the components in latex paint will react with the xylene component in the diluent, causing the walls to turn yellow. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen ventilation.

While renovating the space, it is important to understand the wall characteristics of the house. During decoration, load-bearing walls must not be damaged, and some non load-bearing walls should not be dismantled or modified at will, otherwise it will affect the safety of the house.
