Interior Construction Process in Meguro Ward, Tokyo

Skylight Sealing Work

1. Insulation Installation

First, we will install the insulation! By adding insulation, it becomes difficult for outside heat and cold to transfer indoors, helping to prevent condensation and mold. This also leads to improved heating and cooling efficiency and better indoor environments.

2. Gypsum Board Installation

We will install the gypsum board! We will make it flat for wallpaper application and apply putty to eliminate any unevenness.

What is Gypsum Board?

It is a board made from a white powder (gypsum) that hardens when mixed with water and dries hard. It is commonly used for walls and ceilings and has fire-resistant properties.

3. Wallpaper Installation

Finally, we will apply the wallpaper!
We will check the alignment with the existing parts and ensure that repair marks are less noticeable during installation.

Storage Room Creation

1. Existing Toilet Removal

This time, we are changing the use of the existing toilet, which was used infrequently, into a storage room.

First, we will remove the existing toilet! We will take out the existing toilet bowl, tank, and seat, and disconnect the water supply and drainage connections.

2. Water Stopping Work & Floor Material Replacement

We will perform water stopping work and replace the floor material! We will install special caps on the ends of the unused water supply and drainage pipes to prevent water leakage. After that, we will lay the floor material (cushion floor).

Cushion Floor (Floor Material)
It is a floor material that is resistant to moisture and dirt, making it easy to clean.

After Skylight Sealing Work

By sealing the unnecessary skylight and adding insulation, we have improved the insulation performance!

After Toilet Removal and Change of Use to Storage Room

By removing the infrequently used toilet and changing it to a storage room, we have made effective use of the space!

Guidelines for Interior Renovation

1. Wallpaper Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Wallpaper deteriorates depending on usage frequency and environment, so it is advisable to consider replacement every 10 to 15 years. In particular, in areas with high humidity, such as kitchens and bathrooms, or areas with strong sunlight, fading, dirt, and mold can occur more quickly.

2. Flooring Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Flooring tends to show wear and scratches, so it is good to consider renovation every 10 to 15 years. Especially in households that frequently move heavy furniture or have pets, wear progresses more quickly. It is important to not only repair the surface of the flooring but also check the condition underneath and renovate as necessary.

3. Toilet Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    The general guideline for toilet replacement is about every 10 years.

4. Kitchen and Bathroom Renovation

  • 10 to 20 years
    Kitchens and bathrooms are used frequently, so equipment can become outdated or deteriorate. In particular, sinks, stoves, and bathtubs can deteriorate quickly, so it is advisable to consider renovation every 10 to 20 years. Additionally, replacing with the latest equipment can improve usability and energy efficiency.

5. Lighting and Outlet Renovation

  • 10 to 20 years
    It is common to replace lighting fixtures and outlets when they look old or their functionality declines. Incorporating the latest LED lighting and smart features can enhance convenience and energy efficiency.

6. Door and Window Renovation

  • 15 to 20 years
    Consider door and window renovation when you feel difficulty in opening and closing or a decline in insulation performance. In particular, replacing with insulation materials or double-glazed windows can greatly improve energy efficiency.

7. Air Conditioning Equipment (Air Conditioner and Heating) Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Air conditioning and heating equipment can lose performance after about 10 years, so it is recommended to replace or maintain them every 10 to 15 years. In particular, air conditioners tend to accumulate dirt in filters and interiors, reducing efficiency.

8. Overall Renovation (Complete Interior Update)

  • 20 to 30 years
    Overall interior renovation (walls, floors, ceilings, equipment, etc.) is typically done every 20 to 30 years.

Points to Consider When Deciding on Renovation Timing

Changes in Lifestyle

It is good to create opportunities to review the interior according to changes in family structure or work and hobbies.

Equipment or Functionality Issues

For example, if heating and cooling are less effective, or if the usability of the kitchen or bathroom has declined, these are signs that it may be time for renovation.

Appearance and Comfort

If dirt, scratches, or fading become noticeable, or if you feel that the interior has become outdated, it is a good time to consider renovation.
