4 tips to renovate your rental apartment without stress

Adhesive materials offer versatility to forego that decor, without drilling or headaches

Those who live in a rented apartment have probably asked themselves: is it worth investing time and money in the renovation of a rental property? Can I move the property without notifying the owner? Is it possible to make the house more welcoming without spending a lot and without breaking down?

For all questions, the truth is that the tenant has the right to seek improvements so that the space offers comfort and coziness. And thanks to innovations in the building materials market, it is possible to improve the house without major renovations.

Next, discover 4 tips for valid solutions, practices that do not alter the structure of the building, suggested by Cascola, a brand of the Henkel group, which operates in the sectors of adhesives, sealants and surface treatment.

1 – Exchange the fixing perforations with adhesives

To make holes in the walls it is necessary to know the electrical and hydraulic networks of the residence and thus avoid damage to pipes, pipes, wiring and connections. Microholes in the pipes can trigger an infiltration process in the internal structure, which can cause severe damage to property and pocket.

Fixing with adhesives eliminates this concern and also allows the use of walls with internal pipes for the installation of parts, expanding the decoration proposals. The market offers adhesive solutions that favor the fixing of different types of materials in a practical, clean and risk-free way.

“The adhesive performance is superior because the material is bonded on all sides and bases of the object, evenly distributing the weight of the material, while the perforation method concentrates the force in one or a few points,” explains Vitor Cybis, Marketing Director by Cascala.

There are specific products, also for fixing interiors that eliminate the need for nails or screws, with immediate grip in fixing baseboards, paintings, decorative elements, tiles, among others.

2 – Invest in plasterboard for ceilings

They are malleable and very resistant boards. For those who live in rent and are thinking of renovating the space while preserving the original structure and without spending too much, plasterboard, or drywallit is easy to install and remove, and provides a very sophisticated ambiance to a room, for example by creating crown moldings or corridors with lighting made of light strips or LED strips.

The mounting adhesives allow the joining of the sheets without dirt and with high performance and resistance.

3 – Change the configuration of the partitioned property

Breaking down or erecting a wall doesn’t just depend on the landlord’s consent. This type of modification must respect the structure of the condominium. After all, some walls may have a direct connection with the property support.

Trends in room decoration, partitions redefine space without the need for breaks. Cobogó, partition walls in stone or metal are found in different sizes and delimit spaces giving luxury and lightness to the environment.

“These materials have lower costs than the construction of a new wall, are easy to install with adhesive solutions and can be removed at the end of the contract without damaging the structure of the building”, added the professional Cascola.

4 – Repair leaks without modifying the structures

It is normal for the floor outside the shower to have wet patches after a shower. A practical and inexpensive solution to stop this leak is to use products with a good seal at the problem site.

Often, water runoff occurs due to wear or a lack of silicone applied between the box and base. Seals made with acrylic silicone are widely used because silicone has a high power to mold itself in the applied spaces. And, after filling, the substance hardens, forming a waterproofing barrier.
