Xiaobai, who is decorating for the first time, may be confused when he hears that the decoration materials are divided into “main materials and auxiliary materials”. Are there “main materials and auxiliary materials”? This article will give you a popular science about the difference between “main materials and auxiliary materials” in decoration.

Ⅰ. What are the main and auxiliary materials for decoration?
1. What are the main materials?

In the decoration, the main material has a remarkable feature – the main material is exposed and visible after the decoration is completed. Based on my experience in the “Main Material List”, I divide the main material into wood, stone, ceramics, Paint, metal, glass, special wall main materials (wallpaper, wall covering, leather and fabric) and other 7 categories.

①Timber:

The main materials of wood include wood veneer (for cabinets, walls, floors), wood floors, baseboards, wooden doors, stairs, screens, etc., which are exposed after decoration.

②Stone:

The main stone materials include window sill stones, threshold stones, water retaining stones in the shower area, island counters, bar counters, sinks, kitchen countertops (if cabinets are made on site), rock slab background walls and other exposed stones after decoration.

③Ceramics:

The main materials of ceramic tiles include ceramic tiles, tiles, wood-grained bricks, antique bricks, tile skirting lines, etc., such as the floors of living rooms and bedrooms, walls and floors of kitchens and bathrooms, are generally made of ceramics. renovating.

④ Coatings:

The main materials of paints include latex paints, art paints, etc. Generally, walls and ceilings are made of paints.

⑤ Metals:

The main metal materials include metal skirting boards, metal edge strips (for tiles or floor corners), mouth openings and door pockets, etc., which are generally used for closing openings. Although they are not used much, they are also extremely important.

⑥Glass:

The main materials of glass include shower rooms, partition screens, glass doors, etc., which are generally used in kitchen balcony doors, bathrooms, etc. for home decoration.

⑦Special wall main material:

The main materials for special walls include wallpaper, wall covering, soft and hard bags of leather and fabric, etc. This kind of main material is only used when the wall is not painted with latex paint, and some background wall shapes may also be used. .

The above is for reference only. The main materials included by different decoration companies may be different. Please refer to the contract list of the decoration company to avoid stepping on the pit. Of course, this is also where the decoration company contract makes a fuss (sets a trap), such as the skirting line. You obviously chose the solid wood surface-attached skirting line, but the decoration contract will add a cost for slotting the skirting line. Look carefully, I am afraid it will be difficult to find it!

2. Besides, what are the auxiliary materials?

In decoration, auxiliary materials are generally divided according to the type of work (hydraulic, mason, carpenter, painter).

①Plumbers:

Such as wires, network cables, water pipes and connectors, clips, strong and weak electric boxes, air switches, bottom boxes, angle valves, etc. In addition to wires and water pipes, you can buy them yourself, and other materials are recommended for plumbers to buy, so you don’t have to worry about wires and pipes being damaged. Use inferior ones, and there is no need to buy more water and electricity auxiliary materials, which will cause too much waste.

The picture below is the list of auxiliary materials listed by the plumber when my home was renovated. Can you see that there are many and cumbersome?

② Masonry category:

Such as cement, sand, red bricks and foam bricks, waterproof paint, floor drains, sewer pipes, squatting toilets and other materials used to build walls and tiles. These materials are also relatively cumbersome, and most people don’t even know where to buy them! It is recommended to let workers buy (except for floor drains and squatting toilets), so that workers can earn a small difference, work hard, and save themselves trouble.

③Carpentry:

For example, woodworking boards (calcium silicate boards, gypsum boards), keels, aluminum gussets, wood paint, glass glue, nails, screws and other hardware, woodworking auxiliary materials are also recommended for workers to buy; if you are more concerned about environmental protection issues, you can buy glass Buy the glue yourself. If the glass glue is of low quality, it will become the core source of decoration pollution.

④ Painters:

Such as putty, glue, fiber mesh, external corner strips, wall anchors, etc., these suggestions are bought by workers, just to save trouble, anyway, after painting latex paint or tiling, these are invisible, as long as you buy brand products You can (such as putty).

Ⅱ. Why should the decoration be divided into main materials and auxiliary materials?
In fact, decoration should be divided into main materials and auxiliary materials. This starts with the decoration method-general decoration companies can provide three kinds of decoration methods: clear package, half package and full package. Different decoration methods include different decoration services. the same.

①All-inclusive repair—the decoration company covers everything, you only need to buy furniture and electrical appliances yourself, and you can move in with your bags.

②Semi-package repair——The decoration company packs auxiliary materials and labor, and you purchase the main materials yourself.

③Cleaning and repairing—the decoration company only pays labor, and you buy the main and auxiliary materials yourself.

The reason why there are these kinds of decoration methods is mainly because the decoration market is in order to meet the personalized decoration needs of the owners and satisfy the idea that the owners can buy materials by themselves.

For ordinary people’s decoration, I personally suggest that the main materials and core auxiliary materials (wires, water pipes or those that are closely related to environmental protection) should be purchased by themselves. Don’t buy all the decoration auxiliary materials by yourself. Only the workers who are working are familiar with it. If you buy it independently, the worker will let you buy it if you lack a screw, and the decoration process will be very annoying.
