What does cottage repair include?

There are different degrees of complexity of cottage repair:

• Sometimes re-planning and complete fit-out of the house is required. This kind of repair is often called capital. In this case old partitions are removed, sometimes window and door openings are re-made, and the house is divided into rooms in a new fashion. If necessary, we can perform floor leveling, priming coat and preparation for the next stage – fine finish of the house. Sometimes house foundation repair or underpinning, or repair of the roof is required.

• Sometimes re-planning is not required, but interior fit-out is necessary. As a rule, it happens when just “the box” has been constructed or when the house has fallen into decay. Complete fine finish of the house, which has just been constructed or has fallen into decay, usually includes plastering works, puttying of the walls and ceilings, painting works, floor coverings, installation of suspended ceilings, and facade fit-out. As a rule, a preliminary design project is developed for this purpose. In this case fine finish of the house complies with a certain concept and style, worked out by professionals for an optimal result.

Different styles of interior

Having made a decision to remodel a cottage, owners often strive to choose attractive tile or wall-paper to their taste or think over where to set the furniture. This intention is understandable, yet it’s not so simple to keep up the uniform interior arrangement.

Our experts will help you to determine the style, to find what you need in the wide variety of modern fit-out materials and to select furniture. Most often cottage fit-out is performed in classic or modern style. Ethnic concepts, particularly Chinese and Japanese, are also very popular.

Gothic and antique styles can look original and at the same time exquisite, while romantic style and Art Deco will always make for a good mood. Modern independent, free and easy landlords can appreciate Hi-Tech, pop art, kitsch or techno style of cottage fit-out. When you’ve chosen a certain style, it’s easier to select fit-out materials that will match each other.

Fit-out materials for walls

Cottage fit-out implies application of the materials for interior, as well as for the interior of the building, which are extremely different. Decoration and hygiene are important for the interior, while fa?ades should be long-lasting, wear-proof and frost-proof – these are the most important criteria for selection.

Interior fit-out of cottages requires a variety of materials. According to a customer’s wish, Int-Ext performs painting or papering of the walls, installation of ceramic tiles, covering the walls with different decorative panels and carry out other works.

Fit-out materials for floor covering

Arrangement of the floor is no less important in cottage fit-out. In addition to ceramic tile, we utilize laminate, parquet, floor board, carpet, and linoleum. Each of these materials has its advantages and drawbacks.

• Carpeting is simple in execution. We can lay this material directly on the floor ready for service. It looks cozy, it is pleasant and warm for walking. Besides, this material absorbs noise. However some stains are very hard to clean.
• Laying the laminate is also very popular, since it’s aesthetically pleasing, simple in maintenance and as a rule not too expensive. Yet it’s slippery and is sensitive to water, especially hot water.
• Parquetry has its advantages and disadvantages. It is elegant but expensive and not very practical, because special mastics and compounds are required for good maintenance.
• Ceramic granite and ceramic tile are practical and very convenient for wet cleaning, but they are cold for walking, if floor heating system isn’t provided. In addition, it increases noise.
• Linoleum covering is an economical and practical solution, since it’s simple in maintenance. Yet, as a rule, linoleum is easily forced through and deforms (except for the commercial series).

Irrespective of the selected material, our experts always perform cottages’ repairs at the highest level of quality. Please, call us, and we would willingly consult with you, or leave your application, and we’ll call you back.
