Floor Replacement Procedure in Ashigarakami District, Kanagawa Prefecture

1. Installation of Substrate Plywood

We will install the substrate plywood! If we install the flooring (floor tiles) over a poor substrate, it can lead to squeaking, sinking, lifting, unevenness, and gaps later on, so we will replace it starting from the substrate.

2. Removal and Replacement of Shoe Cabinet and Frame

We will be replacing 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 flooring (floor tiles), we will neatly finish the floor edge and complete the step and trim areas.

What is an entrance frame?
It is a long horizontal component located at the step area between the entrance’s earthen floor and the hallway or indoor floor.
It is the wooden part attached to the edge of the floor where you take off your shoes to step inside.

3. Floor Tile Installation

We will be installing the floor tiles! The new floor tiles will be installed using a 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 applied to the floor.
They are resistant to water and dirt, easy to replace only the damaged parts, stylish in appearance, and 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.

Interior Renovation Guidelines

1. Wallpaper Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Wallpaper deteriorates over time depending on usage and environment, so it is advisable to consider replacement every 10 to 15 years. In particular, areas with high humidity such as kitchens and bathrooms, or places with strong sunlight, may experience fading, staining, and mold growth more quickly.

2. Flooring Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Flooring tends to show wear and scratches, so it is a good idea to consider renovation every 10 to 15 years. Especially in homes where heavy furniture is frequently moved or where pets are present, wear can progress more rapidly. It is important not only to repair the surface of the flooring but also to check the condition of the subfloor and carry out renovations as necessary.

3. Toilet Renovation

  • 10 years
    Toilets generally have a replacement guideline of about 10 years.

4. Kitchen and Bathroom Renovation

  • 10 to 20 years
    Kitchens and bathrooms are used frequently, which can lead to aging and deterioration of fixtures. 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 fixtures 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 outdated 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 you notice difficulty in opening and closing or a decrease in insulation performance. In particular, replacing insulation materials or installing double-glazed windows can significantly improve energy efficiency.

7. Air Conditioning and Heating Equipment Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Air conditioning and heating equipment may experience a decline in 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 the filters and internal components, leading to reduced efficiency.

8. Overall Renovation (Complete Interior Update)

  • 20 to 30 years
    Renovation of the entire interior of the house (walls, flooring, ceilings, fixtures, etc.) is typically done once every 20 to 30 years.

Points to Consider When Deciding on Renovation Timing

Changes in Lifestyle

It is a good idea to create opportunities to review the interior in line with changes in family structure, work, or hobbies.

Malfunctions in Equipment or Functions

For example, if heating and cooling have become ineffective or if the kitchen or bathroom has become inconvenient to use, these signs indicate it may be time for renovation.

Aesthetics and Comfort

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