Greetings!
I'd like to introduce you to some terms that we use when talking about the state of an apartment in relation to renovations.
I hope this will help you better understand all the nuances and make the right choice!
Black frame
This is a very initial stage.
Here we only have bare walls around the perimeter of the apartment, ceiling and floor. There is neither electricity nor water supply. Only windows and the exterior door have been installed.
Despite the fact that an apartment in a black frame may not look very attractive, it opens up a world of opportunities for creativity.
You can do literally anything you want with a black frame — divide it into cozy rooms or create one large sunlit open space with a sofa or kitchen island in the middle.
Isn't that exciting?
Perhaps you are a professional designer, or maybe just a creative person with a sense of beauty. Here a wide field for creativity opens up before you.
Follow your dreams to create your unique place!
White frame
This is the next stage of renovation. Here there are already partition walls, and everything in the apartment — ceilings, floors and walls — are plastered. Electrical wires and water pipes have been laid, as well as gas pipes, if they are in the building. And a heating system has been installed if it was provided for.
The apartment in this state is already ready for finishing works.
In the white frame, you already have a layout, and all the rough work has been done, so you can relax and focus all your efforts on finishing. You can choose your favorite colors and shades, shapes and textures — all to bring life into your new place.
Look at what it looks like in the white frame, and imagine all the same, but in colors, or... just take a photo of your white frame and try to color the picture. Like being back in childhood.
Green frame
Sometimes we also have a green frame.
Why the green frame is green — history is silent about this. It is only known that the rooms in the house can be of any colors and shades.
This is when the renovation is ready, and almost everything is ready, but there is nowhere yet to make coffee or seat guests..
All finishing work has been completed, all that remains is to equip the apartment with furniture and household appliances, decorate it to your taste, arrange your personal belongings.. And you'll live here happily ever after!
Turnkey
The last stage is turnkey. This means that the apartment is fully ready for living. You can simply enter the apartment with your things and start enjoying your new home from the very first day!
Isn't it wonderful?
This is perhaps the most basic thing about the black and white frame.
I hope now it will be easier for you to navigate all these terms and choose the option that is more comfortable to you.
If you still have questions, do not hesitate to ask!
I really hope that the information provided here will assist you with making reasonable and well-considered choices that meet your needs and desires.
It’s crucial to feel certain and comfortable with the decision you make.
I’d be happy if my assistance helps you along with this process!
All the best, Elena
