Q 1: Who is more environmentally friendly, latex paint or wallpaper?
In decoration pollution, latex paint and wallpaper involve VOC (volatile organic compounds), formaldehyde, heavy metals and other pollutants harmful to human body. However, as two completely different materials, latex paint and wallpaper have different pollutant content and emission characteristics.
Latex paint: From the current market situation, latex paint has good overall environmental protection performance. The reason is that the state has strict quality control standards for interior wall latex paint. Therefore, as long as it is a regular brand of latex paint products, there is basically no safety problem.
Wallpaper: Compared with latex paint products, the domestic wallpaper industry is chaotic and the national standards are not uniform enough. At present, the cheap wallpaper in the domestic market is mainly PVC, so it inevitably contains harmful substances such as formaldehyde.
Q2: Which color is brighter, latex paint or wallpaper?
In today's increasingly personalized decoration, the decorative nature of wall materials has been paid more and more attention. Which decorative effect is stronger, latex paint or wallpaper?
Latex paint: Latex paint is not decorative, monotonous in color and lacking in texture. Therefore, in recent years, major paint manufacturers have launched a "color" offensive, emphasizing the color matching of indoor walls, and new color plates emerge one after another, which makes up for the weakness of decorative latex paint to some extent.
Wallpaper: colorful wallpaper patterns, combined with the diverse use of technologies and materials such as convex surface, velvet and plants, can be said that no matter what style and environmental atmosphere the owner needs, as long as the wallpaper is selected correctly, it can be created.
Q3: Which is more economical, latex paint or wallpaper?
The price factor is another key issue that consumers need to consider. Which is more affordable, latex paint or wallpaper?
Latex paint: Under normal circumstances, the wall latex paint is constructed with one bottom and two sides, and the ceiling is painted with one bottom and one side. Suppose a 100 square meter ordinary apartment with a height of 2.8 meters. If you choose mid-range latex paint (50 yuan /L, 7 square meters per liter), then the auxiliary materials and labor costs are about 6000 yuan.
Wallpaper: It's also a 100 square meter house. If you choose wallpaper, the more reliable price range of middle and low-grade products is around 200 yuan. According to the calculation that each roll of wallpaper can be paved with 5 square meters of walls, plus labor costs and accessories costs, the owners who choose middle and low-grade wallpapers need to prepare at least a decoration budget of 6.5438+0 million yuan.
Q4: Service life of latex paint and wallpaper
The service life of decoration materials is a concern of many consumers. After all, in the current market environment, decoration is a very laborious thing. Let's discuss the service life of latex paint and wallpaper.
Latex paint: Every family's environmental conditions are different, among which wall conditions, space humidity and human factors will affect the service life of latex paint. Generally speaking, the service life of interior wall latex paint is about 5 years. After this time, the wall may appear different degrees of pulverization and peeling.
Wallpaper: The service life of wallpaper depends on two points. First, the material strength and performance of wallpaper itself. Another point is the aging of wallpaper glue. Generally speaking, the shelf life of paper wallpaper is about five years, the service life of PVC wallpaper can reach 8- 10 years, and the service life of cloth wallpaper is longer.
Q5: How many varieties of latex paint and wallpaper do they have?
People have different tastes and preferences. Therefore, whether it is latex paint or wallpaper, there are various types of products to meet the decoration needs of families.
Latex paint: Generally speaking, latex paint can be divided into special functional coatings (formaldehyde-proof, fresh bamboo charcoal), full functional coatings (full effect), multifunctional coatings (five in one, three in one) and economical products with enhanced functions and single functions. The price is also from high to low. Special functional coatings are generally 100 Yuan /L, and the cheapest economical products only need about 12 yuan/L.
Wallpapers: According to different substrates, wallpapers are mainly divided into four categories: pure paper, pure cloth, glass fiber and non-woven fabric. According to the surface material, it is mainly divided into pure paper, pure cloth, PVC plastic, non-woven fabric, wood fiber metal texture and wallpaper with special raw materials such as sandstone, crystal and diatomite. Functional products are also divided into: mildew-proof waterproof wallpaper, flame retardant wallpaper, sound-absorbing wallpaper, antistatic wallpaper, fluorescent wallpaper and so on.
Q6: Skills of Choosing Latex Paint and Wallpaper
After talking about the performance and types of latex paint and wallpaper products, let's talk about the purchasing skills of these two types of products, which is believed to be helpful to consumers who are determined.
Latex paint: Although the domestic building materials market has been chaotic for a long time, as far as wall materials are concerned, the standardization of the latex paint market is still possible. Consumers can buy products with reliable quality as long as they pay attention to three points. 1, go to a regular store to buy it. 2. Look at the product packaging. 3. Test report.
Wallpaper: Compared with the relative standards of latex paint industry, we find that the wallpaper market is more chaotic. There is a huge difference of 1.5-3 times between high-end products and low-end products, and between imported products and domestic brands, which makes more and more products full of foreign cultures. In addition to advising consumers to buy in regular stores, we have two suggestions for your reference. 1, look at the product type and fancy, and infer the brand size. 2. Visually inspect the quality of wallpaper. There are many factors that determine the quality of wallpaper. Consumers can refer to the method of "looking, smelling, asking and cutting" in Chinese medicine to evaluate the quality of wallpaper.
