Ikhishi livamise ukuba yigumbi elimatasatasa kunoma yiliphi ikhaya, ngakho udinga amaphansi aqinile, asebenziseka kalula, futhi abukeka kahle. Uma ulungisa indlu yakho futhi udinga iziphakamiso zesitezi ekhishini, le mibono yaphansi ekhishini izokusiza ukuthi uqedele iphrojekthi yakho elandelayo.
Uma kuziwa ekhishini phansi, isabelomali siyisici esiyinhloko; kubantu abaqaphela izindleko, i-vinyl iyisinqumo esihle, kodwa izinkuni ezenziwe ngobunjiniyela ziyi-investimenti enkulu.
Cabangela ubukhulu besikhala. Isibonelo, ekhishini elincane, amathayela amakhulu (600 mm x 600 mm noma 800 mm x 800 mm) asho imigqa embalwa ye-grout, ngakho indawo ibukeka inkulu, kusho u-Ben Bryden.
Ungakhetha phansi ekhishini eliveza ubuntu bakho futhi usethe ithoni ebonakalayo yendlu yakho, noma, njengoba kuphakanyiswe uDavid Conlon, umsunguli nomklami wangaphakathi we-En Masse Bespoke, sebenzisa phansi ekhishini ukuze wakhe isikhala sakho sonke esitezi esingaphansi A. indlela ehambisanayo, uma kungenzeka, yelula umugqa wokubuka endaweni engadini: “Kubalulekile ukugcina amanzi egeleza. Ngisho noma iphansi lekamelo ngalinye lihlukile, sebenzisa umbala.
Amathayili alula kakhulu ukuwagcina, ngakho-ke kuyisinqumo esihle ekhishini. Ngokuvamile ishibhile kunetshe noma i-ceramics-idinga ukunakwa okuncane kunetshe futhi ayigugi kakhulu kune-ceramics. "Kusenemibala eminingi ye-grout ongakhetha kuyo," kusho u-Emily Black, umklami we-Emily May Interiors. "Imibala emnyama emaphakathi isebenza kangcono phansi ngoba ukungcola kuzogxila kakhulu."
Kunezinhlobonhlobo zemibala, ukwakheka nosayizi ongakhetha kuzo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi i-gloss yesimanje, izinkuni ze-rustic, umphumela wamatshe owenziwe ngomshini noma ukuphrinta kwe-geometric ye-retro, amathayili e-ceramic angafinyelela kalula ukubukeka okufunayo. Emakhishini amancane, i-porcelain enethoni ekhanyayo izokhuthaza ukukhanya futhi yenze isikhala sizizwe sikhulu.
UJo Oliver, umqondisi weThe Stone & Ceramic Warehouse, uthe ubuchwepheshe besimanje busho ukuthi i-porcelain manje isikwazi ukuguquguquka ngokwanele ukuba isetshenziswe ngaphandle, ngakho ifaneleka kakhulu emakhishini aholela engadini: “I-porcelain iyisinqumo esihle ngoba icishe ifane. engabhubhi. .'
• Ingabekwa ngamajamo okudala (njengamaheksagoni nonxande) kanye namaphethini okubeka ahlukene (afana neqondile, i-brick-concrete, i-parquet kanye ne-herringbone) ukuze udale ukubukeka okufunayo.
• Udinga ukunaka imfucuza, ngakho-ke engeza u-10% enanini elilinganisiwe bese uyindilinga ebhokisini elilandelayo.
Ibhajethi ngayinye ine-vinyl, kusukela ngaphansi kuka-£10 imitha-skwele ukuya kuthayela we-vinyl (LVT), aklanywe ngezingqimba eziningi “zamakhushini” ukuze azizwe ethambile nempilo ende.
I-Vinyl iyisinqumo esiwusizo kakhulu ngoba yakhelwe ukumelana nazo zonke izinkinga zokuphila kwansuku zonke. UJohanna Constantinou, uMqondisi Womkhiqizo weTapi Carpets and Flooring, uthe: “Ikhishi liwumgogodla wekhaya, futhi phansi kufanele kube nesisekelo esiqinile esicishe sikwazi ukuzimela.” “Ngakho akumele uzikhathaze ngokuchitheka, amabhodwe, amanzi, ukuvuza nokushisa. Khetha into efana nezitezi eziqine kakhulu njenge-vinyl noma i-LVT. "
U-Johanna uthe ukuthambekela okukhulu kulo nyaka ukubukeka kwamatshe noma okuphathekayo: "Lokhu kungafinyelelwa kuphela ngezindleko ezinkulu esikhathini esidlule, kodwa manje, i-LVT ingakha ukubukeka okufunayo ngokukhanga okwengeziwe nokunethezeka."
• Uma ungumpheki ohlakaniphile, uthethelela kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa ne-porcelain, amapuleti e-vinyl ajwayele ukuqhekeka, futhi ngeke uwaqhekeze amathayela, kusho uWilliam Durrant, umsunguli nomqondisi weHerringbone Kitchens.
• Ngokufanelekile, iphansi elingaphansi (i-substrate) lidinga ukuba libe sicaba ngokuphelele futhi libushelelezi. Amaqhubu azobonakala endaweni ephansi. U-Julia Trendall, uchwepheshe we-flooring e-Benchmarx Kitchens, ngokuvamile uncoma ukuthi umehluko endaweni yamamitha angu-3 ungabi ngaphezu kuka-3 mm. Kungase kudingeke ukuthi kubekwe inhlanganisela yokulinganisa, okuvame ukuba ngumsebenzi womfaki we-vinyl tile ochwepheshe.
• Hlola umswakama ngaphambi kokubeka i-vinyl. Ungase udinge ukubeka ifilimu noma isendlalelo esivikela umswakama, kodwa sicela ulalele iseluleko sochwepheshe sezinkampani ezingochwepheshe (njenge-Rentokil Initial).
Ubuchwepheshe obusha busho ukuthi kunzima ukuhlukanisa ama-laminates athile kusukela ezitezi eziqinile ezenziwe ngobunjiniyela, okusho ukuthi ungathola izinzuzo zokubukeka kwe-premium kanye nokuqina okwenyukayo kancane.
Isitezi esiyinhlanganisela senziwa ngezingqimba eziningi ze-MDF (i-medium density fiberboard) enamaphethini angokoqobo aphrintiwe kuyo, bese kuba indawo ekwazi ukumelana nokugqokwa futhi efanelekile-yokumelana namabala.
Inkinga enkulu ngamanzi. I-laminate ingase yonakaliswe inani elincane loketshezi, kusuka ezicathulweni ezimanzi noma ekuwasheni izitsha. Ngakho-ke, bheka izinhlobo ezisebenzisa i-hydraulic sealing systems, kusho uDavid Snazel, umthengi weCarpetright ezitezi eziqinile. 'Lokhu kwandisa impilo yomkhiqizo ngokuvimbela amanzi ukuthi angangeni. Kuyasiza ukuvimbela amanzi ukuthi angangeni ongqimbeni olungaphezulu futhi angene ku-MDF, evuvukala futhi "iqhume".
• Uma kungenzeka, sicela uyifake ngokomsebenzi. Ngisho nama-laminates ashibhile, ukuqedwa kungadlala indima ebalulekile.
UPeter Keane, umqondisi we-The Natural Wood Floor Company, uthe ukufakwa phansi kwepulangwe okuqinile kuhle futhi kuyasebenza, kodwa ukwakhiwa kokhuni okwenziwe ngobunjiniyela kuhlala kukhethwa esikhundleni sokhuni oluqinile.
Ngenxa yendlela yayo yokwakha, i-flooring eyenziwe ngokhuni ingamelana nezinga lokushisa, umswakama kanye nezinguquko zomswakama ekhishini. Ungqimba olungaphezulu lwepulangwe luwukhuni oluqinile lwangempela, futhi ungqimba lwe-plywood olungezansi lunikeza amandla alinganayo nokuzinza. Ibuye ifanele ukushisa phansi, kodwa qiniseka ukuthi uthintana nomkhiqizi kuqala.
Ibuye ibe nezinto ezihlukahlukene kakhulu. Sebenzisa amapulangwe avulekile nezinkuni ezihlukahlukene ukuze udale ukubukeka kwe-rustic, noma khetha ipholishi ehlelekile enohlamvu olucolekile.
U-Alex Main, umqondisi wabahlinzeki bekhishi ababuyiselwe kanye nabahlinzeki bephansi e-The Main Company, uthe ungase ucabange ukusebenzisa i-flooring yokhuni ebuyisiwe. 'Lokhu akugcini nje ngokuqaphela imvelo, kodwa futhi kuletha ubuhle bangempela ekhishini. Alukho ukhuni olufana, kanjalo nekhishi elisebenzisa izinkuni ezigaywe kabusha.
Nokho, khumbula izindaba ezihlobene nomswakamo, ukunwetshwa nokufinyela, futhi ungalindeli ukuphelela.
• Ikhishi eliqinile nelicwebezelayo “lizothamba” ngokushesha ngemva kokufakwa kwephansi lokhuni, ngaleyo ndlela ligcine igumbi lilingana futhi lilenze libukeke njengekhaya, kusho uDavid Papworth, umphathi jikelele wochwepheshe bezinkuni zeJunkers.
• Sebenzisa i-mop ethambile kanye nokokugeza okuthambile ukuze ubambe kalula imilobo yezinyawo ezinodaka nokuchitheka.
• I-flooring eyenziwe ngokhuni ingapholishwa futhi ilungiswe izikhathi eziningi phakathi nokuphila kwayo kwesevisi, ukuze ukwazi ukudala ukubukeka okusha njengoba kudingeka.
• Idinga ukunakekelwa. Khetha ukuphela kopende. Ingagugi kakhulu kunowoyela-ivikela izinkuni endaweni, ngaleyo ndlela ixosha uketshezi namabala.
• Kungase kube nezinguquko zemvelo phakathi kwamapulangwe namapulangwe, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezinkulu. Ngokuka-Julia Trendall we-Benchmarx Kitchens, isu elibalulekile ukuvula cishe amabhokisi amathathu ngesikhathi bese ukhetha amapulangwe ephaketheni ngalinye. Lokhu kuzohlinzeka ngokubukeka okuhlukahlukene futhi kugweme ukusetshenziswa kwamathoni alula noma amnyama.
• Udinga ukugcina ikhishi lingenisa umoya, kusho uDarwyn Ker, umqondisi ophethe we-Woodpecker Flooring. 'Njengoba ukushisa nomswakama okuqukethwe kukhuphuka futhi kwehla, izinkuni zizokhula ngokwemvelo futhi zishwabane. Ukushisa nomusi ovela ekuphekeni kungabangela ukushintshashintsha okukhulu ekhishini. Lawula lezi zinguquko ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi izinkuni zakho phansi zihlala zisesimweni esiphezulu. Faka i-fan yokukhipha umoya bese uvula amafasitela ngenkathi upheka.
I-Linoleum-noma i-lino emfushane-ingumphelelisi wangempela ekhishini lasekhaya lanoma yisiphi isikhathi, futhi uma uthanda izinto zemvelo nezisimeme, kuyisinqumo esihle. Yasungulwa enkathini yama-Victorian futhi yenziwa ngemikhiqizo eyenziwe ngokhuni, impushana ye-limestone, impushana kakhokho, upende, ijute namafutha e-linseed.
Abaningi bethu bajwayelene ne-retro black and white checkerboard design, kodwa i-lino manje inemibala ehlukahlukene namaphethini ongakhetha kuwo. Ingasetshenziswa kuma-rolls-izesekeli eziqeqeshiwe zinconywa-noma amathayili ngamanye, okulula ukuwabeka ngokwakho. I-Forbo Flooring ihlinzeka ngendawo yomthengisi eku-inthanethi yochungechunge lwayo lwamathayela e-Marmoleum, anenani elilinganiselwa kumamitha-skwele angama-50, kanye nezindleko zokuwafaka.
• Uhlu olubanzi lwekhwalithi, eliphezulu, ilineni eliqinile noma ama-vinyl rolls (owaziwa nangokuthi), azohlala isikhathi eside uma ungawasebenzisi ngobuningi ekhishini lakho.
• Uma unezinja (ngenxa yezidladla zazo), gwema ukugqoka izithende eziphakeme endlini. Ukucindezela okuphezulu endaweni encane kuzobhoboza phezulu.
• Uma i-subfloor ilukhuni, izovela. Kungase kudingeke ukuthi ubeke i-latex screed. Funa iseluleko sochwepheshe kulokhu.
UJulian Downes, umqondisi ophethe inkampani yeflooring and carpet iFibre, uthe okhaphethi nama-slides engeza umbala nokuthungwa kwekhishi. “Imibala yemfashini edumile ingahlolwa, futhi inganyakaziswa kalula noma ishintshwe ngaphandle kokufaka izindleko ezinkulu noma izinguquko ezinkulu.”
UMike Richardson, umphathi jikelele we-Kersaint Cobb, uphakamise ukuthi kusetshenziswe ojantshi abanemigqa ukwenza ikhishi elincane libukeke likhulu ngokudonsela amehlo ngaphandle emaphethelweni egumbi. Ungaphinda ukhethe iphethini emise okwe-V noma emise okwedayimane ukuze udale isithakazelo esibukwayo futhi uphazamise ukunaka kusuka ezilinganisweni ezilinganiselwe.
• Impahla yemvelo efana ne-sisal ayikhiqizi ugesi omile noma iqoqe izinhlayiya zothuli, okuwusizo kakhulu kubantu abangezwani nokudla.
• Omata abawashekayo, okhaphethi nezicathulo ezigijimayo zingacocwa ngokushesha noma zibekwe kalula emshinini wokuwasha ukuze kuvuselelwe njalo inhlanzeko, ikakhulukazi uma kukhona izingane kanye/noma izilwane ezifuywayo endlini.
• “Umgijimi kanye nokhaphethi kuyingxenye enkulu endaweni enkulu yokuhlukanisa amakamelo, ikakhulukazi uma unekhishi elivulekile ekamelweni lokwamukela izivakashi,” kusho u-Andrew Weir, oyi-CEO yenkampani ethengisa izindlu nezakhiwo i-LCP.
• Indwangu iletha ukuthungwa nokufudumala ekhishini, ngakho-ke inganikeza isethi yesitayela sokubukeka kwesimanje okunesitayela nokucwebezela.
• Omata abaningi, omata, namaslayidi kungase kubonakale kungahambisani, ngakho khetha okungenani oyedwa noma ababili ukwandisa isikhala sakho sasekhishini.
