Shibuya, Tokyo – Interior Restoration – Construction Steps

1. Preparation and Partial Demolition

We protect areas that will not be worked on with tape and sheets to prevent dirt and damage! We then proceed with partial demolition!

2. Pest and Rot Prevention Treatment

We apply anti-termite and anti-decay agents to the wooden parts to prevent termite damage and wood decay!

We recommend applying and spraying the underfloor anti-termite treatment every 10 years!

3. Substrate Installation Work

We will build a substrate with wood so that gypsum boards and plywood can be installed!

4. Insulation Installation

 

We will install insulation! Installing insulation makes it difficult for the heat and cold from outside to transfer indoors, helping to suppress condensation and mold growth. It also leads to improved heating and cooling efficiency and better indoor environment.

5. Skylight Sealing and Gypsum Board Installation

 

We will install the gypsum board! We will install it flat so that wallpaper can be applied, and we will also 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 becomes hard when dried.
It is commonly used as a material for walls and ceilings and has fire-resistant properties.

6. Wallpaper Installation

Finally, we will install the wallpaper!
We will check the alignment with the existing parts and carry out the work to minimize the visibility of repair marks.

Interior Restoration Work After

This time, we carried out interior restoration work due to water leakage! By applying pest and termite treatment, the durability has improved! Additionally, by laying insulation and installing wallpaper, both thermal performance and aesthetics have been enhanced!

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 areas with strong sunlight, may experience fading, staining, and mold growth 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. This is especially true for homes where heavy furniture is frequently moved or where pets are present, as damage can progress more quickly. It is important not only to repair the surface of the flooring but also to check the condition beneath the floor and carry out renovations as necessary.

3. Toilet Renovation

  • 10 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 may become outdated or deteriorate. In particular, the deterioration of sinks, stoves, and bathtubs can occur quickly, so it is advisable to consider renovation every 10 to 20 years. Additionally, upgrading to 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 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
    Door and window renovations are considered when there are difficulties in opening and closing or when insulation performance declines. 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 inside, which reduces efficiency.

8. Overall Renovation (Complete Interior Update)

  • 20 to 30 years
    Renovating the entire interior of a 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 good to create opportunities to reassess the interior in line with changes in family structure or work and 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 that it may be time for a renovation.

Appearance 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.
