Remodeling and repair of Khrushchev

The owners of the so-called Khrushchev sooner or later come to realize the need to redevelop their homes. Buildings of the times of Nikita Sergeyevich and later do not meet the modern requirements for housing. Starting with the ceiling height, insulation of rooms, their sizes and finishing with the layout.

There is an opinion that repairing Khrushchev is money for the wind. Many who have the opportunity, prefer to sell an old apartment, save money and buy something more suitable for housing. Often the choice falls on the housing stock of the times of Stalin's construction or on modern apartments with free planning. But if you do not have the opportunity to buy another home? Or there is no desire? Then get ready - you are waiting for the overhaul of the Khrushchev. This business is long, expensive, requiring careful planning. But the result can be simply stunning!

Why start repairing a Khrushchev apartment? Of course, with the project! This plan of the apartment can be performed independently, by measuring, or you can use the sketch that is available among the documents for the apartment.

Remodeling

A thorough repair of the Khrushchev implies a redevelopment. Often in the apartment there are passage rooms, narrow corridors that unnecessarily occupy a living space, a small kitchen, which is difficult to turn around, as well as a toilet and a bathroom, which, to put it mildly, are inconvenient for operation. Before you prepare a redevelopment project, think about how many people will live in the apartment and what kind of family will be. On this depends the number of necessary isolated rooms. If possible, then one of them can be combined with the kitchen, thereby obtaining a spacious room.

The problem of the size and layout of the bathroom is often decided by the combination of the toilet and the bathroom. Think about how you can use the corridor more rationally. Perhaps, just due to it it will be possible to isolate the passage room or expand the kitchen.

Carrying out repairs to the Khrushchev with their own hands, you can achieve an increase in living space due to a balcony or loggia. This is done by merging with the adjoining room. Even if you intend to leave the balcony isolated, we recommend that you make it thermally insulated.

Communications

Repair Khrushchev, most likely, entails a complete replacement of communications, gas equipment, as well as a new distribution of electricity.

In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the hoods and the ventilation system as a whole. Most often it does not work.

One of the methods is the implementation of individual ventilation ducts with an exhaust system.

In this case, it will be possible to completely abandon the old ones. And by overlapping them, you can significantly improve the soundproofing of the apartment.

Windows and doors

If previously these works were not produced, then for sure it will be necessary to replace all windows and doors, with the control of hydro and sound insulation.

This, among other things, will have a beneficial effect on the insulation of housing.

It is also worth considering the additional external thermal insulation of the walls, which in recent years has become widely used for hruschevok.

These methods will reduce heat loss in winter and overheat in the summer.
