Introduction

What is the best wall decoration material for your home?

In the home improvement industry, the first wall decoration materials that came into people's sight were paints, among which latex paint was the most common.

For a long time, the birth of paint made many consumers smile, because the cost-effectiveness of paint can be said to be quite high.

By applying latex paint after applying putty powder, the wall will immediately become beautiful and wear-resistant. The most important thing is that latex paint is cheap. After some calculations, we can find that the cost of using latex paint is very little compared to laying tiles.

But what was unexpected was that a new type of material was born in the current market and became widely loved by consumers after it was exposed.

This new material even forces families who use latex paint to think about whether to continue using latex paint or use this new material.



And what is this new material?

After becoming popular on various platforms, this place in Zhejiang specializes in manufacturing this material, so it is called "universal sticker"?

Can this universal sticker really solve the problems faced by latex paint?



Problems faced by latex paint. Regarding wall decoration materials, everyone has their own opinions on paint and tiles according to their own needs.

Coatings can be divided into two types: paints and inorganic coatings. Inorganic coatings can be divided into water-soluble coatings and organic coatings.

In the early stages of my country's development, many consumers used oil-based paints, but oil-based paints are not environmentally friendly and have an extremely pungent smell, so they are now gradually being replaced by inorganic paints.



As a type of inorganic water-soluble paint, latex paint is an environmentally friendly building material that does not contain heavy metal components.

Since most of the ingredients in water-based paint are water, it takes a relatively fast time to dry. Therefore, we usually save more time when using water-based paint than oil-based paint when decorating our homes.

However, in recent years, as the country has attached great importance to environmental protection issues, many consumers are very worried about the VOC exceeding the standard in latex paint when decorating their houses.



VOC is also called volatile organic compounds. When we use oil-based paints, there is a very high probability that it will exceed the standard. However, when using water-based paints, the rate of exceeding the standard is greatly reduced.

According to the survey, among consumers' requirements for environmental protection of home decoration, 70% of people prefer inorganic wall decoration.

The survey shows that, overall, 22% of the population uses wallpaper in decoration, while the state stipulates that the proportion of wallpaper used in decoration has exceeded 30% and will gradually decrease.



The reason for this is that wallpaper does not have the same characteristics as latex paint, such as light odor and easy cleaning, so many consumers are concerned about their health.

Let's talk about the wall decoration method of tiling. In fact, tiling itself is not the best choice, but one of the main reasons why bricks are more popular nowadays is that bricks are wear-resistant, dirt-resistant and easier to clean.

Ceramics and other materials are made through high-temperature firing, and their surfaces are relatively smooth and full of fashion, which is an advantage that cannot be ignored in modern society.



After weighing the pros and cons, some consumers are still willing to choose this material for decoration.

From an environmental perspective, professionals believe that painting walls with latex paint is more environmentally friendly and healthier than tiling.

From the perspective of wear resistance, tile tiling is obviously more popular among every household.

There are pros and cons to each type of wall decoration material, and each material has its own strengths, so even if new materials come out, there is no clear possibility of replacement.



The editor believes that the reason for using latex paint before and now turning to universal stickers is just for economic considerations, because universal stickers themselves are cheap and the decoration effect is beautiful.

But can this universal sticker really achieve all the replaceable functions?

Universal stickers replace latex paint.

Universal stickers are actually a kind of wall stickers. They are made by printing some patterns on wallpaper after innovative design, and then gluing the wallpaper and base paper together. This can protect the ink and enhance the texture of the wallpaper surface.

This design can avoid direct contact between paper and ink, making the pattern more exquisite and less likely to fade.



The pattern style of this kind of wall sticker can be said to be extremely diverse. No matter what you like, you will always find a pattern you like on it, and this pattern can also be consistent with the overall style of the home.

After all, the current society emphasizes personalized customization. Doesn’t this product just solve this problem?

Not only limited to pattern styles, this universal sticker also has a variety of textures to choose from, such as wood grain, leather grain, cloth grain, etc.

This solves the problem of consistency in decoration style among consumers, which not only saves money but also greatly improves the uniformity of home decoration style.



In current home decoration, kitchens and bathrooms are the most prone to moisture, and major home design companies generally launch products with waterproof performance as one of the main conditions.

Universal tape has achieved this, and its excellent waterproof and moisture-proof performance has won wide recognition.

This product is manufactured using advanced process technology. After high temperature and high pressure treatment, it has the ability to withstand humid weather and liquid floods. No matter where you are and how the climate changes, you can enjoy the stable and lasting protection it brings.



When applying latex paint, it takes a certain amount of time to paint depending on the size of the area, and you need to wait for it to dry naturally. The whole process is not only laborious but also time-consuming.

But when using the universal sticker, you only need to apply the glue evenly on the wall. You can also spread it out or rub it evenly with your hands, and then stick it to the wall or ceiling. It only takes five minutes and you can change it freely as you like.

Universal stickers are also available in various designs and patterns to choose from. You only need to choose the one that suits your home decoration style, which can also reduce the cost of subsequent maintenance or replacement.

It is precisely because of this advanced design that construction costs are reduced, time and effort are saved, and noise and pollution are avoided during the decoration process, making your home experience comfortable and quiet.



The advantages of universal stickers.

And even if dirt and stains adhere to it and need to be cleaned, you only need to wipe it clean with a damp cloth. This is much simpler than cleaning tiles.

Generally speaking, you only need to replace a set every three years. Compared with other materials that require long-term replacement, this frequency is also very good.

Compared with traditional decoration methods, universal stickers are faster and more convenient. Whether it is a new house or an old house renovation, it can be easily completed without too much tedious construction or disturbing matters.

This feature makes the universal sticker even more powerful, because you can beautify the entire wall in less than three hours, and there is no need for any pollution or noise to affect others.



In terms of wear-resistance and dirt-resistance, there is no need to worry about the difficulty in cleaning after it gets dirty, because its easy-to-clean feature means that there is no need for special cleaning on a daily basis. Just a light wipe will make it look brand new again.

If you ask whether all-purpose tape can really replace latex paint, then I think it absolutely can.

Conclusion

Of course, this universal sticker also has its shortcomings. If it encounters extremely high temperatures or open flames, it will also have other problems. Therefore, you may need to pay attention several times when entering the kitchen and other places to avoid damage.
