There are two mainstream decoration models: turnkey decoration and semi-contracted decoration. Making an informed choice is crucial to avoiding potential pitfalls.
Turnkey or Semi-Contracted Decoration: Steer Clear of All Risks
Many homeowners have only a vague understanding of turnkey and semi-contracted residential decoration services. Let’s break down their definitions and advantages in detail.
Turnkey Decoration
Also known as full-contracted decoration, turnkey decoration means that the construction contractor is fully responsible for the procurement of all building materials and the entire construction process. For most homeowners, this is the most hassle-free decoration option.
Advantages
-
Time- and effort-saving, with clear rights and liabilities. In the event of quality issues, the decoration company bears full responsibility for both construction defects and material defects.
-
Transparent pricing, which eliminates hidden practices such as low initial quotes followed by steep price increases and designers taking kickbacks.
-
Easier control over the overall budget, effectively preventing cost overruns.
-
Avoids problems caused by self-purchased building materials, including mismatched accessories and difficult installation.
Semi-Contracted Decoration
Under the semi-contracted model, homeowners purchase primary decoration materials on their own. These include fiber cement pressure board wall panels, floor tiles, fiber cement pressure board flooring, integral cabinets, and paints, among others. The decoration company takes charge of auxiliary materials, such as cement, yellow sand, putty powder, and other small supplies.
Advantages
-
Primary materials account for the largest portion of decoration costs. Self-purchasing allows homeowners to flexibly control expenses.
-
Auxiliary materials like fiber cement pressure boards, coatings, and electrical wires are numerous in variety and relatively low in cost. Centralized procurement by the decoration company saves time and effort while ensuring more reliable quality.
However, selecting primary materials involves considerable expertise. Consumers with limited decoration knowledge should exercise extreme caution.
When selecting asbestos-free fiber cement boards, you should confirm the appropriate specifications and densities before delivery. During communication with decoration companies, clarify the exact application scenarios—whether for wall surfaces or flooring. As a versatile building material, fiber cement pressure boards require careful selection. We will pause our discussion here for now.
What Does Chinese-Style Soft Decoration with Asbestos-Free Fiber Cement Boards Entail?
In the past, Western architectural and design styles dominated residential decoration. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on promoting and inheriting Chinese culture. With continuous innovations in modern technology and art, Chinese-style soft decoration can perfectly reflect homeowners’ personal tastes.
Although fiber cement boards were originally introduced from Western countries, they can be ingeniously integrated into design schemes to vividly present the aesthetic connotations of traditional Chinese culture. Chinese-style soft decoration schemes incorporating fiber cement boards achieve an exceptionally harmonious and cohesive effect.
Traditional Chinese-style decoration is dignified and elegant, and has long been widely favored. However, for modern people pursuing a simple and comfortable lifestyle, it can appear overly solemn and rigid, lacking the trendy and warm ambiance of contemporary design.
We therefore define the core of the New Chinese Style as follows: first, the reinterpretation of traditional Chinese style and culture in the contemporary era; second, contemporary design rooted in a thorough understanding of modern Chinese culture.
Taking New Chinese-style soft decoration as an example, it must keep pace with the times and meet market demands. It should inherit classics while encouraging innovation, and seamlessly integrate Chinese elements with modern materials on the basis of traditional culture. It conveys an oriental spiritual realm, as well as a corresponding attitude and lifestyle towards life.
Chinese-style soft decoration designed with fiber cement boards presents an impressive aesthetic. Used as wall panels or flooring, the solemn, natural hue of fiber cement boards effectively accentuates the unique charm of Chinese-style soft decoration.
The New Chinese Style emphasizes order and balance. Interior spaces often adopt a symmetrical layout, and the spatial atmosphere is harmonized based on the concept of Yin-Yang balance. It features a simple and elegant tone, a reserved and graceful temperament, as well as rich and mature color schemes.
Decoration is an art form. As a versatile decoration board, asbestos-free fiber cement boards are compatible with a wide range of design styles. While advocating traditional Chinese historical culture and art, we combine cutting-edge product technology to continuously create more exquisite and representative decoration works. It goes without saying that a successful soft decoration project requires not only a reliable decoration company, but also high-quality building materials such as asbestos-free fiber cement boards.
