A housewarming party is like starting life with a clean slate. It does not matter why you moved: started to study in another city, found another job, started a family or just wanted a change. True, sometimes a “clean slate” in the form of a new home has traces of previous owners, not always pleasant. To get a cozy, comfortable feel for your new home right away, Dremel offers a few simple, yet effective tips.
One of the first worries when you’re housewarming is hooking up the lights
A lonely “light bulb” is unlikely to help you fall in love with your new home. Bringing comfort into your home can be easy with a few homemade lampshades quickly by using improvised materials and a Dremel 4200 Multitool. Insert the round and straight-cutting nozzles into the tool, and the bright glowing result won’t be long in coming!
Your tile will shine and your spouse will shine too…
The tiles in the bathroom or kitchen have chips and scratches, and it spoils the whole look and depresses the newcomers? Nonsense, a good mood can bring back the Dremel and an hour’s work. You can use the Dremel DSM20 compact saw and its cutting wheel to make clean, precise cuts in wood, metal, plastic, stone and tile. The tiles will shine, as if covered with glaze, you’ll see!
Let there be a seam, as an element of design
Moldy joints between tiles and fixtures are a problem in many bathrooms. The hygiene and aesthetics of your bathroom can be restored in no time with the Dremel Multi-Max 20 and the hard scrubber. After cleaning and sanding your bathtub, you need to replace it with a new coat of waterproof silicone sealant. Use masking tape for extra convenience to keep your tiles and furniture clean.
Multi-knife on carpeting
You have an oddly shaped room and you want to cover it completely with carpet which, alas, doesn’t fit the shape? This is an easy fix. Measure your room and cut the carpet with the Dremel Multi-Max MM20 and Multi-knife. By the way, this tool can handle not only carpeting, but also cutting lawn, as well as roofing and vinyl tiles.
How much water will flow? Not at all…
Leaking water pipes waste dozens of gallons of precious, potable water a year. Replacing copper pipe parts is child’s play for a tool as powerful and precise as the Dremel 4200. A high RPM and low pressure force allows to obtain smooth cuts as well as to straighten and deburr the edges of the kerf. The Dremel VersaFlame is great for soldering pipe. Because it uses liquid butane as fuel the torch is always ready to use and can be fired in seconds.
The sanding machine erases all traces
If your new apartment has stairs – that’s great. But sometimes stairs are the mark of so many things: someone dropped a sharp object on the step and there was a dent, kids came back from the sandbox and didn’t take their shoes off – there were scratches, and so on. The Dremel Multi-Max MM20 helps you get your stairs looking fresh again. Use this tool to sand off old wood and then repaint.
Fine work in every corner
Laminate flooring always looks elegant and easy to clean. Installing laminate even in a room with unusual architecture is easy with the Dremel DSM20 compact saw. An indispensable helper for those who need to make straight and perfectly straight cuts. For more detailed jobs, like tackling the corners of a room, the Dremel 4200 is the right choice.
No more creaking doors
They’re better suited for horror movies. If the wood is a little swollen, you can fix it with the sanding accessories and the Dremel Multi-Max 20, or the cordless Dremel 8100. Simply sand the wooden door leaf, oil the hinges and the doors will close quietly and gently again.
Let’s hit the grout on the fungus!
Fungus between tiles in the bathroom – a common and unpleasant phenomenon. What’s more, it’s dangerous because fungus can spread from your tiles to your bathroom furniture and fixtures. Avoid this by removing the outdated grout with a Dremel Multi-Max 40 with the appropriate attachment, and then smearing the joints with new grout.
A barrier on a window frame
Say no to cold and insects in your home! The Dremel Multi-Max MM20 and the wood and metal cutting accessories put a barrier between them and your home. With their help you can reanimate even an old and cracked window frame.
