News: Wallpapers or
latex paint
? People who love the family like to decorate every corner of the room carefully, the wall is the focus. As wallpaper products began to become popular, owners began to face the question of whether to decorate the walls with wallpaper or latex paint. Both materials have advantages and disadvantages, and it is not said who will replace whom. Owners ultimately choose who, is the demand, cost-effective and other factors of the comprehensive results.
color, texture selection is wide. A combination of the same colors and different textures can produce N products. For example, plain paper is printed only on a flat surface, and PVC can make bumps and blasts (smooth and texture combination effects).
can easily use the pattern to achieve the desired effect, which latex paint is difficult to achieve. For example, the contrast of stripes makes the room more hierarchical, vertical stripes can have a "seedling promotion" effect. You can adjust the space feel of the room with large /small patterns.
because of the characteristics of wallpaper, can play a very good sound absorption effect. Especially the type of surface bump treatment.
walls have difficult cracks, wallpaper is a once-and-for-all treatment. Even if the glass fiber mesh, latex paint paint film for the cracks in the wall is still limited, wallpaper is a good solution to this problem, if only because of cracking reasons, choose the basic color wallpaper cost is not high.
on glue. Wallpapers have the same requirements for the grass and latex paint. That is, the original wall treatment (e.g. brush interface agent, cracking pre-treatment, etc.), batch scraping putty polishing, and then with the base film glue powder to spread wallpaper. Natural crops as raw materials of the base film powder price is not as expensive as imagined, as long as the relevant environmental certification is no problem. Latex paint can only claim ultra-low VOCs, but there is no guarantee of zero volatility.
such as seams, empty drum edges, etc. Most of these problems are not process defects, construction technology is not qualified. Empty drum is the grass root is not handled well, the edge and seam is the construction problem, and wallpaper, material is not directly related. So there are good materials at the same time to find the appropriate level of construction personnel.
color difference. This is almost inevitable, but the same batch of products is negligible. Latex paint in addition to the base color, as long as there is repair, color difference is much larger than wallpaper. Both can be addressed by considering control.
fire prevention aspects. In fact, like many diseases, the main thrust of prevention is prevention, fire control is more important. Household hidden dangers mainly in the kitchen (part of the alarm), electrical parts (water and electricity construction specifications, switch socket selection is also important). In terms of wallpapers, PVC is flame retardant, pure paper and nonwovens are flammable, but not as ferocious as textiles and plastics.
price. The cost of wallpaper is much higher than latex paint, according to the actual utensity of the calculation, reliable wallpaper at 80 yuan / m2 plus (excluding grass-roots treatment, base film powder and artificial). This is the root cause of many people giving up using wallpapers or reducing the use of wallpapers.
bad patching. Wallpapers if more serious damage, all need the whole (wallpaper single width) re-paved, can not be patched.
texture of the surface, the easier it is to absorb dust. But the difficulty of cleaning is not as big as generally imagined, bumps can be used vacuum cleaners or dusters, plain paper, nonwovens and other flat can be directly rubbed with wet towels.
latex paint is
of
paint, although with paint. It is a very mature and most used indoor wall surface material. The construction is simple, easy to maintain and low cost.
low cost per square meter including grass-roots treatment, labor, price in 25 to 50 yuan / m2.
process is not complex, grass-roots processing is the key. If cracks in the wall have been found, need to be dealt with in a timely manner, a more effective way is to brush the interface agent, paste fiber cloth, avoid cracks due to temperature, humidity and other reasons.
can flexibly tone to meet their needs of the color scheme. After the renovation, the construction party is required to retain some colored paint, in order to prevent moving, the inevitable bump in daily life, which can reduce the cost of re-coloring and color card expenses.
light colors can be patched directly if they are damaged. If you want to redecorate or renovate after a few years, as long as the grass roots are no problem, can only be repainted on the original basis.
can be colored, but the color is single, no color. Some dark paint is difficult to grasp, without the participation of professional designers, the owners themselves are difficult to grasp.
cracked. This disadvantage is also mentioned many times, is latex paint / paint common disease.
so how do you choose between the two, or play a middle?
there are new walls, the original wall cracking or patching several invalid cases, wallpaper priority selection, basic color, plain color, the cost is not high, but also can effectively avoid such cases.
like dark or jump color owners, you can choose similar wallpapers. The color of wallpaper is good to grasp, because the surface has texture, color can be displayed but not exaggerated, lighting on the color of the impact is less than latex paint.
want to get a warm wall, hope to reduce the sound reflection, hope that the texture of the wall, can choose wallpaper.
you want to make up for or create space shortages by contrasting lines, patterns, and textures, you can choose from different wallpaper types.
wallpapers don't have to be full or use the same color in a room, using one wallpaper for walls that need to be protruded or weakened, and another wallpaper for other walls. It can also further reduce the cost by playing the role of the primary and secondary division.
wallpapers and latex paint can be shared, and the above scheme is the same, one or more sides of the use of wallpapers, other walls using latex paint. It is also a common solution.
wallpaper selection, to be compared at different light sources, light, angle, different colorability and color temperature will deceive the eyes.
with a patterned wallpaper, to see or meet the effect of large areas of paving, often appear on the sic panel looks good, posted far from the imagination. This is very noteworthy.
wallpaper to be the overall style, color matching to have an effect. Determine furniture, color matching, wallpaper on the basis of, can be in no order before or after, but must be considered in general. Don't make jokes when your coat and shoes look good.
