Ikhitshi lidla ngokuba lelona gumbi lixakekileyo kulo naliphi na ikhaya, ngoko ke udinga imigangatho ehlala ixesha elide, ekulula ukuyisebenzisa, nebukekayo. Ukuba uhlaziya indlu yakho kwaye ufuna iingcebiso zomgangatho wekhitshi, ezi ngcebiso zomgangatho wekhitshi ziya kukunceda ugqibezele iprojekthi yakho elandelayo.
Xa kuziwa kwimigangatho yasekhitshini, uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali luyinto ephambili; kubantu abajonga iindleko, i-vinyl lukhetho oluhle, kodwa iinkuni ezenziwe ngobunjineli lutyalo-mali olukhulu.
Qwalasela ubungakanani bendawo. Ngokomzekelo, ekhitshini elincinci, iithayile ezinkulu (600 mm x 600 mm okanye 800 mm x 800 mm) zithetha imigca embalwa ye-grout, ngoko ke indawo ibonakala inkulu, uBen Bryden uthe.
Unokukhetha umgangatho wekhitshi obonisa ubuntu bakho kwaye usete ithoni ebonakalayo yekhaya lakho, okanye, njengoko kucetyisiwe nguDavid Conlon, umseki kunye nomyili wangaphakathi we-En Masse Bespoke, sebenzisa umgangatho wekhitshi ukwenza indawo yegumbi lakho lonke elisezantsi. indlela eyondeleleneyo, ukuba kuyenzeka, yandisa umgca wokujonga kwindawo yegadi: “Kubalulekile ukugcina amanzi equkuqela. Nokuba umgangatho wegumbi ngalinye uhlukile, sebenzisa umbala.
Iithayile zilula kakhulu ukuzigcina, ngoko zikhethwa kakhulu ekhitshini. Ngokuqhelekileyo zinexabiso eliphantsi kunelitye okanye i-ceramics-zifuna ingqwalasela encinci kunelitye kwaye ziyakwazi ukumelana ne-ceramics. “Kusekho imibala emininzi onokukhetha kuyo,” utshilo uEmily Black, umyili we-Emily May Interiors. "Imibala emnyama ephakathi isebenza ngcono emgangathweni kuba ukungcola kuya kungena nzulu."
Kukho iintlobo ngeentlobo zemibala, ukuthungwa kunye nobukhulu onokukhetha kuzo. Ingaba igloss yanamhlanje, i-rustic wood, i-textured stone effect okanye i-retro geometric printing, iithayile ze-ceramic zinokufikelela ngokulula kwinkangeleko oyifunayo. Kwiikhikhini ezincinci, i-porcelain enethoni ekhanyayo iya kukhuthaza ukukhanya kunye nokwenza ukuba indawo ibe nkulu.
UJo Oliver, umlawuli weThe Stone & Ceramic Warehouse, uthe itekhnoloji yale mihla ithetha ukuba i-porcelain ngoku nayo ibhetyebhetye ngokwaneleyo ukuba isetyenziswe ngaphandle, ngoko ifaneleke kakhulu kwiikhitshi ezikhokelela egadini: “Iporcelain lukhetho oluhle kuba iphantse yafika. engenakonakala. .'
• Inokubekwa ngokweemilo ezinobuchule (ezinje ngohexagons kunye noxande) kunye neepatheni ezahlukeneyo zokubeka (ezinje ngestraight, brick-concrete, parquet kunye neherringbone) ukwenza inkangeleko oyifunayo.
• Kufuneka uqwalasele inkcitho, ngoko ke yongeza i-10% kwixabiso elilinganisiweyo kwaye ujikeleze kwibhokisi elandelayo.
Yonke ibhajethi ine-vinyl, ukusuka ngaphantsi kwe-£ 10 ngemitha yesikwere ukuya kwi-luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), eyilwe ngeeleya ezininzi "zemiqamelo" yokuziva ethambileyo kunye nobomi obude.
I-Vinyl lukhetho olusebenzayo kakhulu kuba yenzelwe ukujamelana nazo zonke iingxaki zobomi bemihla ngemihla. UJohanna Constantinou, uMlawuli weBrand weTapi Carpets and Flooring, wathi: “Ikhitshi ngundoqo wekhaya, yaye umgangatho umele ube nesiseko esiluqilima esiphantse sazimela.” “Ngoko ke ungabi naxhala lokuchitheka, iimbiza eziwayo, amanzi, iindawo ezivuzayo kunye nobushushu. Khetha into efana nemigangatho eyomeleleyo njengevinyl okanye iLVT.
UJohanna uthe eyona nto iphambili kulo nyaka yimbonakalo yamatye okanye ekhonkrithi: “Ezi zinokufezekiswa kuphela ngexabiso elikhulu kwixesha elidlulileyo, kodwa ngoku, iLVT inokudala inkangeleko enqwenelekayo ngokunomtsalane kunye nentuthuzelo eyongezelelweyo.”
• Ukuba ungumpheki oqaqadekileyo, uxolela kakhulu xa uthelekiswa neporcelain, iipleyiti zevinyl azithandeki kakhulu ekuqhekekeni, kwaye awuzi kuziqhekeza iithayile, utsho uWilliam Durrant, umseki nomlawuli weHerringbone Kitchens.
• Ngokufanelekileyo, umgangatho ongaphantsi (i-substrate) kufuneka ube mcaba ngokupheleleyo kwaye ugude. Amaqhuma aya kubonakaliswa kumgangatho womgangatho. U-Julia Trendall, ingcali yomgangatho kwi-Benchmarx Kitchens, udla ngokucebisa ukuba umahluko kwisithuba seemitha ezi-3 ungabi ngaphezu kwe-3 mm. Kusenokuba yimfuneko ukubeka ikhompawundi yokulinganisa, edla ngokuba ngumsebenzi we-vinyl tile installer.
• Jonga ukufuma phambi kokubeka ivinyl. Kusenokufuneka ubeke ifilim okanye umaleko wobungqina bokufuma, kodwa nceda umamele iingcebiso zobuchwephesha beenkampani zobungcali (ezifana neRentokil Initial).
Itekhnoloji entsha ithetha ukuba kunzima ukwahlula i-laminates ezithile kwimigangatho eyenziwe ngokhuni oluqinileyo, oku kuthetha ukuba ungafumana izibonelelo zembonakalo yeprimiyamu kunye nokuqina okwandisiweyo kuncinci.
Umgangatho odibeneyo wenziwe ngamaleko amaninzi e-MDF (i-medium density fiberboard) kunye neepatheni ezingokoqobo eziprintwe kuyo, kwaye emva koko i-wear-resistant kunye neyona nto ifanelekileyo yokukrwela- kunye ne-stain-resistant surface.
Eyona ngxaki inkulu ngamanzi. I-laminate ingonakaliswa ngowona mlinganiselo omncinci wolwelo, ukusuka kwizihlangu ezimanzi okanye ekuhlambeni izitya. Ke ngoko, jonga iibrendi ezisebenzisa iinkqubo zokutywinwa kwehydraulic, utshilo uDavid Snazel, umthengi weCarpetright kwimigangatho enzima. 'Oku kwandisa ubomi bemveliso ngokuthintela ukungena kwamanzi. Inceda ukuthintela amanzi ukuba angangeni kuluhlu oluphezulu kwaye angene kwi-MDF, ekhukhumala kwaye "ivuthele".
• Ukuba kunokwenzeka, nceda uyifake ngokomsebenzi. Nakwi-laminates engabizi kakhulu, ukugqiba kunokudlala indima ebalulekileyo.
UPeter Keane, umlawuli we-Natural Wood Floor Company, uthe umgangatho womthi oqinileyo umhle kwaye uyasebenza, kodwa umgangatho womthi owenziwe ngobunjineli uhlala ukhethwa endaweni yomthi oqinileyo.
Ngenxa yendlela yayo yokwakha, umgangatho wokhuni owenziwe ngobunjineli unokumelana nobushushu, ukufuma kunye nokutshintsha komswakama ekhitshini. Uluhlu oluphezulu lweplanga luyinkuni yokwenene, kwaye umaleko weplywood ongezantsi unika amandla alinganayo kunye nokuzinza. Kukwafanelekile ukufudumeza umgangatho, kodwa qiniseka ukudibana nomenzi kuqala.
Ikwasebenza ngeendlela ezininzi. Sebenzisa amaplanga anesisa kunye neenkuni ezahlukeneyo ukwenza inkangeleko ye-rustic, okanye ukhethe ipolishi elungelelanisiweyo enenkozo entle.
U-Alex Main, umlawuli wekhitshi elibuyiselweyo kunye nababoneleli bomgangatho kwiNkampani ePhambili, uthe ungacinga ukusebenzisa umgangatho obuyiselweyo wamaplanga. 'Oku akukhathaleli indalo esingqongileyo kuphela, kodwa kuzisa umtsalane wokwenyani ekhitshini. Akukho planga lifanayo, ngokunjalo nekhitshi elisebenzisa iinkuni ezihlaziyiweyo.
Nangona kunjalo, gcina engqondweni imiba enxulumene nokufuma, ukwanda kunye nokucutha, kwaye ungalindeli imfezeko.
• Ikhitshi eliqinileyo nelikhazimlayo liya “kuthamba” ngoko nangoko emva kokuba umgangatho weplanga uqatyiwe, ngaloo ndlela ugcine igumbi lilungelelene kwaye lilenze libukeke njengekhaya ngakumbi, utshilo uDavid Papworth, umphathi jikelele weengcali zemithi yeJunkers.
• Sebenzisa imophu ethambileyo kunye nesicoci esithambileyo ukuze ubambe lula iinyawo ezinodaka kunye nokuchitheka.
• Umgangatho wokhuni owenziwe ngobunjineli unokupholiswa kwaye ulungiswe ngamaxesha amaninzi ngexesha lobomi bawo benkonzo, ngoko unokudala inkangeleko entsha njengoko kufuneka.
• Ifuna ukulungiswa. Khetha ukugqiba kwepeyinti. Inganyangeki ngakumbi kune-oyile-ikhusela umthi ophezu komhlaba, ngaloo ndlela igxotha ulwelo kunye namabala.
• Kusenokubakho utshintsho lwendalo phakathi kwamaplanga namaplanga, ngakumbi kwiindawo ezinkulu. NgokukaJulia Trendall waseBenchmarx Kitchens, ubuchule obubalulekileyo kukuvula malunga neebhokisi ezintathu ngexesha kwaye ukhethe iiplanga kwiphakheji nganye. Oku kuya kubonelela ngembonakalo eyohlukeneyo kwaye ugweme ukusetyenziswa kweetoni ezikhanyayo okanye ezimnyama.
• Kufuneka ugcine ikhitshi lingena umoya, utsho uDarwyn Ker, umlawuli olawulayo weWoodpecker Flooring. 'Njengoko ubushushu kunye nokufuma kunyuka kwaye kwehla, iinkuni ziya kwanda kwaye zicutheke. Ubushushu kunye nomphunga ovela ekuphekeni kunokubangela ukuguquguquka okukhulu ekhitshini. Lawula olu tshintsho ukuze uqinisekise ukuba imigangatho yakho yeenkuni ihlala ikwimeko ephezulu. Faka i-fan yokukhupha kwaye uvule iifestile ngelixa upheka.
I-Linoleum-okanye i-lino ye-short-iyinto yokwenene kwikhitshi yasekhaya yeyiphi na ixesha, kwaye ukuba uthanda izinto zendalo kunye nezizinzileyo, kukhetho oluhle. Yaqanjwa ngexesha le-Victorian kwaye yenziwe ngeemveliso zomthi, i-limestone powder, umgubo we-cork, ipeyinti, ijute kunye neoli ye-linseed.
Uninzi lwethu luqhelene ne-retro black and white checkerboard design, kodwa i-lino ngoku inemibala eyahlukeneyo kunye neepatheni zokukhetha kuzo. Ingasetyenziselwa kwii-rolls-izixhobo zengcali zinconywa-okanye iileyile zomntu, ezilula ukuzibeka ngokwakho. IForbo Flooring ibonelela ngendawo yokuthengisa ekwi-intanethi ngothotho lweethayile zeMarmoleum, ezixabisa malunga ne-50 square metres, kunye neendleko zofakelo.
• Uluhlu olubanzi lomgangatho, umgangatho ophezulu, ilinen ejiyileyo okanye i-vinyl rolls (ekwaziwa njenge), eziya kuhlala ixesha elide ukuba awuzisebenzisi zininzi ekhitshini lakho.
• Ukuba unezinja (ngenxa yamanqina azo), kuphephe ukunxiba izithende eziphakamileyo ngaphakathi endlini. Uxinzelelo oluphezulu kwindawo encinci luya kugqobhoza phezulu.
• Ukuba umgangatho osezantsi urhabaxa, uya kubonakala. Unokudinga ukubeka i-latex screed. Funa iingcebiso zengcali kule nto.
UJulian Downes, umlawuli olawulayo wenkampani yomgangatho kunye nekhaphethi iFibre, uthe iikhaphethi kunye nezilayidi zongeza umbala kunye nokwakheka kwekhitshi. “Imibala yefashoni edumileyo inokulingwa ngayo, kwaye inokushukunyiswa lula okanye itshintshwe ngaphandle kokwenza iindleko ezininzi okanye utshintsho olukhulu.”
UMike Richardson, umphathi jikelele weKersaint Cobb, ucebise ukuba kusetyenziswe iileyili ezinemigca ukwenza ikhitshi elimxinwa libukeke likhulu ngokutsalela amehlo ngaphandle kumda wegumbi. Unokukhetha kwakhona i-V-shaped okanye i-diamond-shaped pattern ukudala umdla obonakalayo kunye nokuphazamisa ingqalelo kwimilinganiselo elinganiselwe.
• Iimathiriyeli zendalo ezifana ne-sisal azivelisi mbane ongatshintshiyo okanye aziqokeleli amasuntswana othuli, nto leyo eluncedo kakhulu kubantu abangevayo.
• Iimethi ezihlambekayo, iikhaphethi kunye nezihlangu zokubaleka zinokucocwa ngokukhawuleza okanye zibekwe lula kumatshini wokuhlamba ukuze zihlaziywe rhoqo ngococeko, ngakumbi ukuba kukho abantwana kunye/okanye izilwanyana zasekhaya.
• “Imbaleki kunye nekhaphethi zongezelelo olukhulu kwindawo enkulu yokuhlukanisa igumbi, ngakumbi ukuba unekhitshi elivulekileyo kwigumbi lokwamkela iindwendwe,” utshilo u-Andrew Weir, i-CEO ye-real estate kunye nenkampani yoyilo i-LCP.
• Ilaphu lizisa ukuthungwa kunye nokufudumala ekhitshini, ngoko linokubonelela ngeseti yesitayile kwinkangeleko esesitayeleni nebengezelayo.
• Iimethi, iiragi, kunye nezilayidi ezininzi kakhulu zinokubonakala zingahambelani, ngoko ke khetha inye okanye zibe mbini ukwandisa ikhitshi lakho.
