How to choose a new coating OR traditional coating?

Due to the current demand for coating products, manufacturers are constantly improving. Coating products are gradually becoming more environmentally friendly and harmless. This is not only a performance improvement of consumers' living standards, but also an increase in consumers' demands for the quality of their living environment.

In the Chinese wall-mounted market, latex paint has always had an uncontrollable dominance. In recent years, with the strong rise of wallpaper, many people in the industry worry that wall paint will gradually become the fate of wallpaper replacement.

In addition, we also saw that in addition to the continuous introduction of interior wall paint products with various functions, the representative paint companies such as Mei Tushi, Bardez, and Carpoly have also begun to get involved in wallpaper, diatom mud, seaweed mud, etc. In the field of new wall materials, does this indicate that the interior wall coating market has been “shocked” by new wall materials.

In recent years, with the emergence of functional coatings, especially the innovation of interior wall paints, in addition to environmental protection, it also has the functions of moisture proof, scrub resistance, and clean taste. Whether it is from the aspects of function, aesthetics, price, etc., interior wall paint has advantages over wallpaper. Let's take a look at the evaluation of wallpapers by relevant person in charge of domestic and foreign paint companies:

Lin Liangqi, the head of AkzoNobel decorative paint in China, said that there is a misunderstanding. When it comes to high-grade walls, the wallpaper will first be thought of. Although the wallpaper has many advantages, it is easy to grow in wet places or in the long rainy season in the south. Mildew and long worms; glue will be used for wallpapering, which will cause certain air pollution; if the wallpaper is old, replacement is a big project, so from the perspective of environmental protection, energy saving and economy, the coating is much higher than the wallpaper. In fact, paint can also be used to paint artistic effects, not inferior to wallpaper, like Dulux's art paint, we call texture paint, a total of 6 decorative effects, used to make the background wall is very good.

Hu Tiecheng, the person in charge of Carpoly, said that the technical requirements for wallpaper decoration construction are high, and the technical level of the construction personnel directly affects the aesthetics and service life of the wallpaper. For example, if the glue used for pasting is not good, it is easy to roll up and fall off, resulting in a short service life of the wallpaper.

If too much glue is applied to cause spillage, the subsequent treatment is not cleaned with sponge and water in a timely manner, and signs of yellowing will appear at the seams after several days. The use of paint decoration, the construction difficulty is relatively small, just ensure that the putty is evenly coated, the base layer is cleaned and the coating is too thick, so there will be no blistering, wrinkling of the paint film and watermarking. problem.

In addition, in terms of price, according to the price of wallpaper, paint and construction in the market, the price of a roll of mid-range wallpaper is about 100 yuan, and the wall of 5 square meters is calculated according to small rolls of wallpaper, 100 square meters. The house has to be spent around 6,000 yuan. The use of mid-range latex paint (including accessories and labor costs) for a 100 square meter house will not exceed 5,000 yuan. The decoration of the same grade, the cost of wallpaper is slightly more expensive than the latex paint.

The diatom mud "hot red" and environmental protection can not be separated, "purifying the air, regulating humidity, sound insulation, fire retardant, sterilization, wall self-cleaning", these nearly perfect functions are almost all diatom mud Incorporate, in the era of consumers paying more and more attention to the safety of the home environment, diatom mud undoubtedly poked the "pain point" of consumers.

Therefore, although diatom mud and wallpaper are more environmentally friendly, they have their own strengths, and traditional coating companies are constantly paying attention to green environmental protection. At present, new coatings cannot replace traditional coatings, and they will exist on the market in a three-legged trend.
