For those of us who have bought a house, what we are looking forward to most is the handover of the property soon. But many people can hardly hold back their eagerness and choose to leave the new house idle for a period of time before starting decoration, which puzzles many people. Why on earth is this?
We have only heard that a newly decorated house needs to be left idle for a while to get rid of formaldehyde, so it is quite confusing why a rough house should be left vacant before decoration.
We all know that current developers build houses very quickly; many buildings are completed in just a little more than a year. That is why it is necessary to leave the house idle for a period of time before decoration. For a newly completed building, the moisture in the walls has not fully dried out. If you start decoration directly at this time, cracks are very likely to appear on the wall coated with latex paint. Therefore, it is better to leave the house idle for a few months after handover, and start decoration only after the wall is basically stable.
Second, most current buildings are built to be relatively high. A newly completed building may have some structural cracks due to floor settlement, which will affect the subsequent decoration.
Leaving the house idle for a period of time also has another advantage: it allows all cracks in various parts of the room to be fully exposed, so that the developer can fix these problems during the house inspection.
