As autumn arrives with its crisp air and moderate temperatures, it's widely regarded as the ideal time for home renovations. This is because the balanced climate avoids the adverse effects of extreme heat and humidity in summer and the low temperatures of winter on construction materials. Hence, the phrase "Golden September and Silver October Renovation Season" has emerged. However, what precautions should you take during an autumn renovation? To answer this, I reached out to seasoned professionals in the field and gathered some invaluable insights for your consideration.
First and foremost, timely sealing of oils is essential to prevent wood from cracking. During summer renovations, many homeowners tend to leave wood in well-ventilated areas to air-dry, given the high humidity levels. Yet, in autumn, this approach can lead to issues. The dry autumn climate accelerates the loss of moisture from wood surfaces, causing them to crack or develop fissures. Thus, for high-quality veneer eucalyptus and wooden edges, sealing the wood lines with oil is crucial to retain their moisture. Once the woodwork is complete, it’s important to seal the surface promptly. Failing to do so could result in the wood lines shrinking, affecting the appearance of the veneer.
Secondly, avoid excessive ventilation that dries out the paint too quickly. When renovating walls, especially during autumn, the process differs significantly from summer practices. Nowadays, most households opt for brushing paint on their walls. In summer, the humid air necessitates opening windows to speed up drying. Conversely, autumn's dry conditions mean that excessive ventilation could cause newly painted walls to dry too rapidly. This can lead to paint or wallpaper shrinking and deforming due to quick water loss. It’s best to allow the walls to dry naturally, with only minimal airflow for ventilation. If the weather is particularly arid, it’s advisable to introduce a moisture-balancing step while tiling kitchen walls to prevent issues like tiles becoming hollow.
Thirdly, don’t panic over shrinking floors or wall cracks. In autumn, it's common to encounter issues like wooden floor shrinkage and wall cracks during seasonal transitions. High humidity in summer means walls, floors, and wooden furniture hold more moisture than usual. As autumn brings drier air, these materials naturally lose moisture, leading to cracks. Since these cracks often reappear as water continues to evaporate, rushing repairs might be counterproductive. Instead, wait until spring, after the natural fluctuations of the seasons stabilize the environment. By then, any further development of cracks or deformation will have ceased, allowing for a comprehensive and effective one-time repair by professional renovators.
Lastly, don't overlook air quality in autumn renovations. People often feel the room looks less decorated after autumn renovations and are eager to move in. However, this perception can be misleading due to lower temperatures. Post-renovation homes typically experience noticeable air quality issues upon heating in winter or cooling in summer, potentially causing indoor pollution and posing health risks. Even if the room smells fine, I recommend waiting at least half a month to a month before moving in. During this time, it’s wise to ventilate the space regularly, preferably in the morning and evening. Midday ventilation is best avoided as the low humidity at that time could exacerbate cracking in wood and wall paint.
