Home Interior
While the structure of your house is being set up there a
number of things about the home interior that have be
taken care of at this stage itself. This part of house
interior design, may not make your house look more
beautiful but, is necessary to make your home more
comfortable and have a greater resale value. Here are a
few things about interior finishing that you should
remember.
 Even
though you may not install an alarm system right away,
ensure that the wiring is in place, so that you have the
option of installing the system later on. This will add to
the resale value of the house as well.
Rough
in for the built-in Vacuum System should be installed when
the house is being built, as it is less expensive at this
stage.
All
insulation other than blown insulation can be installed at
this point. Drywall should be installed once insulation is
done. Ploy Vapor is inserted between the drywall and
insulation and sealed around outlets like doors and
windows. Once insulation is installed, the Insulation
Inspector from City Hall will inspect it. Blown insulation
is installed when the ceiling in placed and will be
inspected during Final Inspection. Using insulation can do
soundproofing. This can be used in baths, bedroom and
between floors.
After
the insulation has been inspected the drywall can be
installed. Drywalls can be used for extra soundproofing.
Before
doing the cabinet, laying the flooring the house should be
cleaned thoroughly.
The
painter should finish painting the room in which the
linoleum and cabinets have to be installed. The can paint
the moldings and doors as well.
The
linoleum should be installed before the molding and
cabinets are installed. When this is done there are fewer
chances of damage to the linoleum.
The
carpenter will install the molding and cabinets in the
rooms that have been painted and where the linoleum has
been laid. Molding can be used to highlight or hide
windows, doors or walls. For cabinets get several
quotations and don't compromise on quality while trying to
buy something less expensive.
Ceramic
tiles can be installed while the rest of the finishing is
being done.
Sinks,
taps, toilets in both the bathroom and kitchen can be
installed now and connected to the tank.
Shelves
and rods for the closet should be installed after the
painting has been done.
Get
the electrician to fix your light fixtures at this time.
Curtains
and Binds can be installed after the painting is done.
The
hardwood floor should be installed at the very end, as it
is likely to get damaged with all the work going on. This
type of flooring lasts long, is easy to clean and comes in
a variety of beautiful colors and this can be used in just
one room or the whole house.
Finally,
after all the interior finishing is done install the
carpet so that there is no damage done to it.
Allow
the painter to touch up any spots on the wall and floor.
Request
the City Hall to conduct final inspection once everything
is complete. Once inspected and passed you will receive
the Occupancy Permit.
For
some municipalities an occupancy permit is mandatory to
move in, others do not require you to have one. Find out
before you move or you may be fined for moving into your
house. |
