Zhuangdian paint summer decoration guide: grasp five key points

The top priority during summer renovation is safety. High temperatures and dry air increase the risk of fires, especially when building materials are left in poorly ventilated areas. It's crucial to store materials in cool, shaded spots and keep electrical tools away from flammable items. Always maintain a safe distance when working with electricity to prevent accidents.

To avoid heat-related health issues, it’s important to minimize the use of toxic materials and ensure proper ventilation. If possible, install air purifiers or open windows regularly to improve indoor air quality and reduce harmful emissions.

When selecting and storing wood products in summer, checking the moisture content is key. For example, large core boards, white wood strips, and other accessories should have a moisture level below 12%. During rainy seasons, it's advisable to dry the materials before using them. Letting them sit for one or two days helps reduce humidity differences and makes them more suitable for installation.

Additionally, protect wood products from direct sunlight, as it can speed up paint and glue aging. In case of heavy rain, make sure to store them properly to prevent swelling and mold caused by excessive moisture.

Choosing the right paint for summer is also crucial. With high temperatures, some paints may emit strong odors that linger for a long time. Zhuang Dian Lacquer recommends using eco-friendly, low-VOC paints that effectively neutralize formaldehyde and eliminate unpleasant smells. Their new Aldehyde-Net Health Breathing Wall Paint uses nano-photocatalytic technology to break down harmful substances under natural light, releasing negative ions that freshen the air and improve indoor air quality.

It's also important to store paint safely. As a flammable material, improper storage can lead to fire hazards. Keep paint in a cool, well-ventilated area, and ensure containers are tightly sealed. Avoid placing them near open flames or electrical outlets to prevent sparks from igniting the contents.

After finishing the summer renovation, allow paints and wallpapers to dry naturally. In hot, dry conditions, wallpapers are often soaked before application. Opening windows too soon can cause rapid drying, leading to warping. Let everything dry at its own pace to preserve the finish and maintain a neat appearance.

Dealing with musty smells after summer renovation can be tricky. Humid weather often leads to moldy odors. Using an air conditioner for dehumidification can help remove excess moisture and reduce bad smells. If the odor persists, placing potted plants or citrus peels around the house can naturally absorb and neutralize unwanted smells.
