The need for finishing in common areas
Public places (POPs) are places where access to use and stay is open to the public, that is, to all visitors. Access may be limited only during non-working hours or for another reason that does not contradict the rights and freedoms of citizens. Depending on the category of premises, MOPs are mainly crowded places.
Several years ago, developers, when constructing new residential complexes, paid little attention to the interior decoration of public areas. This was due to the fact that this type of service is specific and, therefore, expensive. Therefore, finishing work on staircases and elevator landings, in corridors and halls was carried out quite rarely.
But today, developers, owners of shopping and business centers, tenants, and the residents themselves are trying to fully equip public places with the help of high-quality interior decoration.
After all, any part of the premises (both residential and public) is its “calling card”. Also, high-quality finishing of public places is one of the newly introduced requirements for any buildings. Therefore, the design of entrances, front doors, elevator halls, landings and foyers should not fade into the background.
Types of decorative plasters for MOPs
- Decorative plaster Bark beetle Alphio fraction 1.0 for finishing the walls of MOPs is a universal solution. Craftsmen rub the plaster to create a pattern. After drying, the bark beetle becomes durable, has good adhesion to the base and will last for many years. Bark beetle consumption from 1.4 kg/m2, cost of 1 m2 - from 90 rubles.
- Alphio pebble coat is another type of decorative plaster that is successfully used for finishing MOPs. Fraction 0.5 - 1.0 gives a pleasant delicate texture and looks beautiful. The Alphio pebble coat has good performance characteristics, it looks simple, but is far from poor. Consumption of pebble fur coat - from 1.4 kg/m2, cost of 1 m² - from 90 rubles.
- Acrylic-based textured paint for finishing MOPs also creates a beautiful coat on the walls and looks three-dimensional - a real 3D effect. It is distinguished by high quality indicators, is easy to apply, and can withstand a thicker layer. Consumption of textured paint - from 0.5 kg/m2, cost of 1 m² from 30 rubles.
- The most economical option for finishing common areas is shagreen. This coating also does not require ideal wall preparation, like decorative plasters. It has a simple texture in the form of a fur coat and looks voluminous. Shagreen is a very profitable option for finishing MOPs: the cost of 1 m² is from 20 rubles, the consumption is from 1 kg/1 m². Easy to apply: the texture is quickly rolled out with a roller, no need to paint.
Acrylic paint for MOPs of new buildings and more
Acrylic paint for MOPs of new buildings and secondary housing with high hiding power allows you to paint the substrate in one layer, saving time and effort. Consumption from 0.1 kg/m2, cost - from 10 rubles/1 m2. A good option for anyone who wants to achieve high quality repairs.
It is often used for finishing MOPs in combination with textured paint - the effect of spotted walls is obtained. In this case, acrylic paint is used as a substrate, and textured paint is applied in an automated way by spraying using a hopper. To obtain various effects, additional dilution with water is possible, as well as rubbing with a spatula - this way the drops will be smooth, without a 3D effect.
At the STS paint factory you can buy finishing materials bark beetles, shagreen, textured paint, acrylic paint wholesale and retail from the manufacturer at reasonable prices. Call and place orders.
Requirements for MOP finishing
Common areas should be:
- practical;
- functional;
- safe;
- aesthetically beautiful;
- presentable.
Therefore, when dealing with design issues, you need to pay special attention to the materials and directly to the company that provides such services, or directly manufactures and installs the finishing material.
Consider not only current trends, but also the reputation of the selected company, legal requirements, relevant standards and GOSTs when making your choice.

RedLine: the quality of MOP finishing in residential complexes is growing
Category : News
According to experts from the joint RedLine project team, today the quality of finishing of public areas is increasing. This is due to increased competition in the market and improved quality of construction in general.
RedLine said that now developers in St. Petersburg have begun to take the finishing of public areas quite seriously. They understand that the entrance lobby and other public areas in a residential complex are what the buyer sees first, and against the backdrop of growing competition, when two complexes of the same price category can be built in the same microdistrict, any details can affect the consumer’s assessment of the whole object. In this regard, company experts note that developers try to meet and sometimes even exceed the expectations of their clients, offering comfort class design quality in economy class, business class in comfort class, and inviting famous designers in the high price segment .
Experts emphasize that attention is paid to the finishing of MOP in all segments, including objects of mass demand. Nevertheless, of course, the difference in the complexes of different classes is significant. Thus, in economy class, where the price of the apartment plays a decisive role for the buyer, the design of common areas includes a minimum set of options, and the designer’s job is to match materials by color and texture. In luxury properties, on the contrary, special attention is paid to design, since the involvement of professional designers and the use of expensive materials confirm the status of the object and the developer, and subsequently, the resident of the house himself.
“The quality of residential construction in Russia is constantly growing, approaching European standards. This trend has not passed over the design of public spaces. This cannot but rejoice, because in an increasing number of residential projects, designers will be able to show their creativity, offering truly interesting, high-quality projects,” comments Igor Gerasimenko, commercial director of the joint RedLine design group.

Veneered panels
Natural wood, environmentally friendly, fire resistant (KM-1).

To the catalog of panels with veneer
On top, the raw materials are coated with a special acrylic composition, which is necessary to protect the structure from frost, moisture, ultraviolet radiation and, most importantly, from fire. This acrylic composition also prevents mechanical damage from impacts and scratches and damage to the panel from the destructive effects of household chemicals.
Non-combustible panels do not contain heavy metals or harmful and toxic chemical compounds that could harm human health or the environment. Therefore, wall panels can be called an environmentally friendly material.
If the MOP is not heated, which is why the room temperature is constantly low, or vice versa - it is always stuffy and high humidity, then this is another reason to choose wall panels. The material can withstand temperature changes from -60 to +80 degrees Celsius. In addition, non-combustible panels have a smooth, even surface that prevents moisture from penetrating into the structure of the material. This property also prevents the formation of mold and the accumulation of harmful bacteria.
Electricity cost calculation
Most owners have a question: MOP electricity - what is it? Previously, all costs for power supply to common areas were included in the cost column for “Maintenance and repair of residential premises,” but with the introduction of appropriate changes they were deducted from there.
The calculation of the payment amount is determined by the area of the apartment. Common property is divided in proportion to the area of each apartment, and not to the number of residents. After the meter readings are taken, they are sent to the management company. She makes a calculation that determines the monthly cost of “Power supply to the MOP”.
When calculating electricity spent on public needs, they rely on the following indicators:
- total electricity consumption in the house;
- total electricity consumption in all residential premises;
- electricity costs of legal entities that are connected to the public network.
Possible problems
When installing additional lighting in common areas or illegally connecting to the power grid, all residents of the house pay the amount of money associated with the leakage of electricity.
Repayment of the bill for the electricity supply of public premises is calculated by square meters: whichever owner has the larger area pays more.
Energy loss accounting
Electricity leakage is usually associated with many unfavorable factors.
For example:
- outdated electrical wiring;
- lack of energy-saving light bulbs;
- meter breakdown;
- illegal connection to the network, etc.
To account for energy losses and reduce the amount of payment for electricity supply to the MOP, residents must assemble an initiative group. It will monitor the reading of individual meters by all residents of the house and identify illegal connections to the power grid.
Who pays and how much
All costs associated with the provision of utility services, which include the maintenance of the MOP, are borne by the owners of the premises. This is established by Article 39 clause 1 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation. Resolution No. 354 determines that owners are required to pay for electricity supply to the MOP every month, even if they do not live in the given location. The total number of people registered in a residential premises is not relevant to the lighting of public areas of the house.
Fire resistance class KM1
One of the most important qualities of the proposed wall panels is their fire resistance according to fire hazard class KM1. And the letter of the law precisely requires the use of only materials of the KM1 and KM2 classes in MOP. Class KM1, characteristic of WallHof panels, is deciphered through the following designations and terms:
- Flammability: G1 – (non-flammable, slightly flammable), indicates the ability of the material to maintain the combustion process after the fire source has been eliminated;
- Flammability: B1 – (hardly flammable), indicates the ability of the material to form flaming combustion;
- Flame spread: RP1 – (non-propagating group), denotes the property of the material to spread fire throughout the room, increasing the area of the fire;
- Smoke generation: D1 – (low forming), this is the property of a material to form and spread smoke.
- Toxicity: T1 – (low forming), the indicator reflects the ability of a material to form toxic and poisonous compounds in the air during combustion.
Fire-resistant wall panels from WallHof are a reliable and safe finishing material that not only allows you to create a unique and modern interior, but can also save hundreds of lives in case of danger. All the properties described above are documented. The company has the appropriate certificates from accredited services, obtained after numerous tests of the material. Of course, WallHof panels are the best solution for public areas.

Mop "Kentucky"
Of course, technological progress has made it possible, in most cases, to replace tedious manual cleaning with a pleasant and quick process using vacuum cleaners, sweepers and floor scrubbers. But there are rooms in which all this equipment simply cannot be deployed, where there is no power supply or other necessary conditions.
It is for cleaning a small room that people usually choose simpler, albeit useful, devices, like mops.
The “Kentucky” mop is a type of mop with a clamp, into which you can install a replaceable mop - if it’s convenient for you, it can be a classic round one, if it’s convenient, it can be any other shape. “Kentucky” is a modern solution in an area where, it would seem, everything has already been invented. If you previously thought that a mop was just a stick on which you put a rag or sponge, then once you get acquainted with the Kentucky mop, you will change your mind.
“Kentucky” combines centuries-old experience of using the classic mop, which we have all become accustomed to since childhood, and modern solutions and materials. In particular, the inventors achieved the best functionality by combining materials such as plastic and stainless aluminum. Since aluminum is not susceptible to rust, this makes it an ideal material for a mop that is constantly in contact with liquids that somehow contain water. After all, most floor detergents are diluted with water. Due to the one and a half meter long aluminum handle, the mop is not only easy to handle, but also weighs very little - no more than 2 kilograms. A handle of this length can be easily used by both taller and shorter than average people. The length of the handle is adjustable to suit the user's needs.
When replacing replacement mops, the "Kentucky" will do an excellent job not only of washing any floor coverings, but also of cleaning walls and windows; it can even be used for washing the ceiling, if the cleaner is tall enough. For each type of cleaning you will need the right detergent and the same mop. There is no need to buy, for example, a separate glass washer.
The plastic clip that ends the handle, and which is the working part, is very durable and easily allows you to work with a mop of any shape. Although many buyers, seeing a mop for the first time, hesitate whether to buy a device whose important part, such as the clamp, is made of plastic, fears in this case are unnecessary: the plastic is very durable, and there is no need to be afraid of breaking it with a careless movement. The plastic mop clamp will serve for a very long time and will withstand even the most intensive use.
Changing and washing mops will be very convenient, so “Kentucky” will quickly become an indispensable assistant when cleaning your home and office. Cleaning professionals, even those who have spent more than one year in this industry, speak well of it. The convenient design of such cleaning equipment facilitates physical labor when cleaning and helps to cope with even the most severe dirt.
