No matter how high-quality finishing materials are, over time they lose their appearance or become worthless. In addition, fashion changes and more modern technologies appear. Apartment renovation, in other words, is an inevitable periodic process.
Repair itself consists of four stages. First, an action plan is drawn up, what needs to be replaced and where. After that, there is a search for a qualified contractor based on the nature of the work.
The acquisition of materials can be distinguished as a separate stage, although in most cases it intersects with the implementation of the actual repair. If you have certain planning skills and are able to do the work yourself, then the contractor’s question becomes irrelevant.
With the acquisition of materials for repair is not so simple. If you have the money, you can dismantle everything, buy new materials and carry out repairs from scratch.
If the budget requires saving money, then the best option is to use used materials and structures. This approach allows not only to save on materials, but also on transportation costs. You do not have to take out a bunch of garbage you still need and bring in new materials that are not very different in quality.
After a certain treatment, the old parquet will serve you no less than its modern substitutes.
Broken tiles, showing imagination, can be used to create mosaics on the facade.
Window glass will also serve no less than a new one, if you plan the dimensions of new window frames correctly.
There are many examples of the optimal combination of new and used materials. The main thing is that with this approach there is always not only financial gain, but also moral satisfaction. Such repairs can be called environmental. You do not litter nature with garbage, and do not use part of it, turned into modern materials.
The main criterion should still be the approach to use only high-quality materials during the repair. This applies to both new and used materials. Savings should be reasonable.
