"In particular, some high-end wallpapers with special materials and strong decoration can be used as the finishing touch of the whole household design, and the small area use of these wallpapers can enhance the artistic feeling of the whole space," said Yang Yuxin, head of wallpapers in Marburg, Germany Score: Paint: 3 points, wallpaper: 5 points ■ on Construction: wallpaper is easy to replace due to short construction period, but the process requirements are high "The background wall of my family's living room is decorated with wallpaper After several years, I want to replace it again The worker said that it only takes 3 hours to replace it, which is too convenient." Wang, who is shopping for wallpaper in AoYa wallpaper store of Daming Palace building materials and home furnishing City, said "It's true that wallpaper can be easily replaced." Li Li, the person in charge of Ouya wallpaper, said, "if you want to change the wallpaper twice, you just need to remove the original wallpaper and lay a new one again, instead of dealing with the wall again Even if the whole house is replaced, it can only take 1-2 days at most " Compared with wallpaper, the construction cycle of paint coating is much longer It will take at least one week for wall painting, and you can't move in immediately after painting It will take at least half a month from decoration to completion Compared with the construction difficulty, the coating is relatively easy According to industry insiders, the technical requirements of wallpaper decoration construction are high, and the technical level of construction personnel directly affects the beauty and service life of wallpaper For example, if the glue used for pasting is not good, it is easy to roll up and fall off, resulting in short service life of wallpaper If too much glue is applied, resulting in overflow, and the subsequent treatment fails to clean with sponge dipped in water in time, the joint will appear yellow after several days However, the construction difficulty of coating decoration is much less Only by ensuring the putty is evenly applied, the base course is cleaned and the coating is too thick, the problems such as blistering of paint surface, wrinkling of paint film and watermarks will not occur Score: Paint: 4 points, wallpaper: 4 points ■ use: in general, the service life of wallpaper is 8-10 years, while that of latex paint is more than 10 years If the wall base is not well done or the home environment is too bad, both wallpaper and latex paint will reduce their service life, and there will be some problems For example, the wall paper may bulge, fall off or curl the edge, and the emulsion paint may crack or peel In terms of daily cleaning and maintenance, wallpaper is more delicate than latex paint and needs to be taken care of frequently Among the wallpapers, PVC wallpapers and non-woven wallpapers are relatively clean If they are dirty, they can be wiped directly with a rag dipped in detergent water; some high-end wallpapers, such as silk, plant fiber and metal wallpapers, are more delicate and can be dusted with dry rags and feather dusters Score: Paint: 4 points, wallpaper: 3 points: whether the environmental protection of wallpaper is closely related to the use of glue with the improvement of people's living standards, environmental protection has become a topic of concern for more and more people, and also become one of the important factors people consider when choosing decoration materials ■ the environmental protection of non-woven wallpaper is the best from the perspective of wallpaper products, PVC wallpaper is poor in environmental protection, while pure paper wallpaper, non-woven wallpaper, flocking wallpaper, natural material wallpaper, etc all have strong environmental protection Many designers recommend using pure wallpaper or non-woven wallpaper for children's rooms When consumers choose wallpaper products, they can ask to view the inspection certificates related to the products According to the national standard, the mercury content in wallpaper shall not exceed 20mg / kg, and the formaldehyde content shall not exceed 120mg / kg At present, the wallpaper market is not standardized, consumers still need to recognize the brand products when purchasing ■ in addition to the wallpaper itself, the "wallpaper glue" that must be used in the construction process is also one of the hidden dangers of home environmental protection and safety Formaldehyde in the environmental unqualified glue is sealed in the wall by wallpaper, and the volatilization period can be as long as 3-15 years At present, some regular brand businesses in the market provide professional auxiliary materials and professional workers for construction, and consumers are better to identify brand products during construction, which can not only ensure the environmental protection of auxiliary materials, but also greatly help the wallpaper in service life and aesthetic degree As long as the coating chooses to buy the brand qualified products, generally there will be no environmental protection problems The home of coating is focused on the news and information of coating, diatom mud, paint coating, coating process, fire retardant coating and coating, diatom mud, paint coating, coating process, fire retardant coating repair knowledge and decoration effect map,
