How to prepare for apartment renovation?
If you want to make painting, plastering, tile removal, or wall demolition work easier for yourself or the renovation team, ensure dust protection during the renovation. What steps should you take?
- Remove furniture, equipment, and other items from the room – try to expose and make accessible as much of the surface where renovation work will be carried out as possible. If possible, remove doors as well. If a major renovation is planned that requires clearing things, pack them into cardboard boxes and label them precisely, making it easier and quicker to find everything after the renovation.
- Tidy up the space – remove not only paintings, posters, and other decorations from the walls, but also screws or bolts. Sweep and wash the floor so that no particles accumulate under the film placed on it, which could scratch it during renovation.
- Cover furniture, appliances, radiators, and items that remain in the room during renovation – e.g., protect them with protective or construction film and secure it with painter's tape. It is also worth disassembling or covering sockets, sensors, and outlets (e.g., with Duct Tape painter's tape).
- Prepare accessories useful for dust protection during renovation, as well as improving renovation and construction work. Among others, you will need:
- construction tapes – including reliable Duct Tape, which you can use, for example, to attach protective film. Construction tape is durable and does not leave marks after removal. Double-sided adhesive tapes may also be useful;
- plastering tapes – ideal for plastering work, they protect the surface from renovation dirt. They are also suitable for sticking on rough surfaces (plaster, gypsum, brick), and can be easily torn even without scissors. These are waterproof tapes with an extended adhesion time (up to 21 days), and can protect wooden stairs and natural stone elements;
- painter's tapes – indispensable during painting and renovation work, used for precise color cutting, marking curves, and protecting windows, doors, frames, skirting boards, and various surfaces and objects during painting, as well as other renovation work. Painter's tape comes in various colors and sizes, which you can easily adapt to your needs;
- foil tapes – useful for joining painting films and repairing them;
- painting and construction films – indispensable for covering furniture, equipment, windows, doors, and other elements necessary for protection during renovation. There are various thicknesses of painting film on the market – thin ones will be useful, for example, for covering furniture and other items, thicker ones for floor protection;
- dust curtains – will be particularly useful when demolishing walls or removing tiles, they protect against dust during renovation, separating other rooms in the house from it.
