Floor Replacement Procedure in Ashigarakami District, Kanagawa Prefecture

1. Installation of Base Plywood

We will install the base plywood! If we lay the floor material (floor tiles) on a poor base, issues like creaking, sinking, lifting, unevenness, and gaps are likely to occur later, so we will replace it starting from the base.

2. Removal and Replacement of Entrance Frame

We will replace the entrance frame! We also removed the shoe cabinet when replacing the entrance frame!
By replacing the entrance frame to match the finished height of the new floor material (floor tiles), we ensure a clean finish at the floor edge and complete the unevenness and trim areas.

What is an Entrance Frame?
It is a horizontal component located at the threshold between the entrance floor and the hallway or indoor floor.
It is the wooden part at the edge of the floor where you step up after taking off your shoes.

3. Laying Floor Tiles

We will lay the floor tiles! We will install the new floor tiles using special adhesive. Since floor tiles come in a variety of colors and patterns, you might find your favorite!

What are Floor Tiles?
They are thin, tile-like flooring materials that are laid on the floor.
They are resistant to water and dirt, easy to replace only the damaged parts, and provide a stylish appearance while being easy to clean.

After the Floor Replacement Work

This time, we replaced it with floor tiles! By switching to floor tiles, we improved cleanliness, aesthetics, and durability!

The durability of floor tiles is approximately 8 to 15 years.

Guidelines for Interior Renovation

1. Wallpaper (Cross) 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. Especially in areas with high humidity like kitchens and bathrooms, or in sunlit areas, fading, dirt, and mold can develop more quickly.

2. Flooring Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Flooring becomes noticeable for wear and scratches, so it is good to consider renovation every 10 to 15 years. Particularly in homes where heavy furniture is frequently moved or where pets are present, wear can progress more rapidly. 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
    Toilets generally have a replacement guideline of about 10 years.

4. Kitchen and Bathroom Renovation

  • 10 to 20 years
    Kitchens and bathrooms have high usage frequency, so equipment can become outdated or deteriorate. Especially, 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
    Replacing lighting fixtures and outlets is typically done 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
    Renovation of doors and windows is considered when they become difficult to open and close or when insulation performance declines. Particularly, replacing insulation materials or installing double-glazed windows can greatly improve energy efficiency.

7. Air Conditioning and Heating Equipment Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Air conditioning and heating devices may experience performance decline after about 10 years, so it is recommended to replace or maintain them every 10 to 15 years. Air conditioners, in particular, tend to accumulate dirt in filters and interiors, reducing efficiency.

8. Overall Renovation (Updating the Entire Interior)

  • 20 to 30 years
    Renovation of the entire interior of the house (walls, flooring, 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 in line with changes in family structure or work and hobbies.

Equipment or Functionality Issues

For example, if heating and cooling become ineffective, or if the usability of the kitchen or bathroom declines, these are signs that it may be time for renovation.

Aesthetics and Comfort

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