As a whole, wall cloth and wallpaper are composed of wood fibers, which have a good feel and texture. Wallpapers can be divided into three types according to materials: pure paper, PVC wallpaper and low-viscosity paper. Among them, pure paper wallpaper is the best, and natural reinforced wood pulp is the main one. It is characterized by good environmental protection, no curling, no foaming, no peculiar smell, good air permeability and no mildew. Most of the patterns are made by advanced printing technology, with bright colors and realistic patterns. Afraid of water, not resistant to scrubbing. The price is higher.
PVC wallpaper is mostly used for tooling, less for home decoration, durable, with gorgeous patterns and scrub resistance. But it is not environmentally friendly, and the touch is plastic. The price is cheap.
Paper-backed wallpaper is widely used and moderately priced. Decorative layers are added to the paper base, mostly made of PVC, which is flame-retardant and scrub-resistant. The patterns, patterns and textures that can be made are diverse, and the decorative effect is good. Poor air permeability, poor basement membrane brush, easy to mold.
At present, the newly introduced liquid wallpaper is a kind of paint, which does not belong to the category of wallpaper, so I will not introduce it here.
Wall cloth is mainly made of polyester fiber and cotton, hemp, wool and other fibers, most of which are based on gauze and the surface is decorated with PVC embossing, with rich patterns and textures. The grade is relatively high, and hanging on the wall looks high-end. Wall covering also has a certain sound insulation and sound absorption effect. Wall cloth can be divided into paper cloth bottom, glue cloth bottom and pulp cloth bottom. Strong and durable, choose cloth rubber sole. Non-woven wallpaper is a popular green wallpaper material in China. It is a wallpaper made of natural plant fibers such as cotton and hemp or synthetic fibers such as polyester and acrylic fiber through non-weaving. Air permeability, scrub resistance, good decorative effect, aging resistance, durability and moisture resistance.
The difference between wall cloth and wallpaper (1) Price: wall covering has many styles, rich colors and superior texture to wallpaper, so wall cloth is more expensive than wallpaper. During the wall covering construction, it is necessary to cut the position of doors and windows, which wastes some materials compared with wallpaper and can only be bought in rolls, which is much more expensive. Wallpaper is rich in color and relatively economical in price, but its service life is generally only 2-3 years, so it is not easy to be cleaned and moldy.
(2) Material: The composition of our traditional wallpaper is wood fiber, which has a good feel and texture. Wall covering uses polyester fiber, which is of high grade and looks high-end atmosphere when hanging on the wall. The texture of wallpaper pasted on the wall is worse than that of wall covering.
(3) Environmental protection: mainly depends on the quality of wall covering and wallpaper itself, as well as the basement membrane and adhesive used. Generally speaking, the environmental protection in wall covering is generally good. Of course, the environmental protection of paper wallpaper is guaranteed. Seamless wall covering generally adopts high-tech environmentally-friendly hot-melt materials or environmentally-friendly nano-PVC coating technology and non-woven bamboo charcoal composite technology, which is odorless and non-toxic. Most wallpaper is pressed by PVC technology, but the wallpaper market is large, some low-priced products can not meet the requirements, and there will be some harmful substances.
(4) Abrasion resistance: Seamless wall covering is made of fiber, and its abrasion resistance is much stronger than wallpaper. It is not a problem for ordinary fiber fabrics to rub for dozens of times. The wall cloth is composed of thousands of fibers, which shows its wear resistance and fastness. Compared with the wall, the wear resistance of wallpaper is poor, and we often find that the wallpaper behind the tables and chairs against the wall is seriously worn. Wallpaper has a low tolerance for damage such as bumps and scratches.
(5) Daily maintenance: the wallpaper is easy to breed mold in the environment with high air humidity, which not only destroys the decorative effect, but also destroys the wallpaper beyond repair; Wall covering is obviously moistureproof and breathable than wallpaper. Once contaminated, it is easy to clean, and the same part will not be rubbed or damaged many times, leaving no trace.
(6) Construction: Seamless wall covering can realize a piece of cloth for one room and a piece of cloth for one wall in a large range. There is no seam on the wall after pasting, and there will be no curling, warping and cracking. This is also the biggest feature of seamless wall covering. Warping and cracking of wallpaper is almost inevitable after a certain period of use, which is caused by its characteristics. In addition, improper construction can easily lead to warping and cracking, such as not paying attention to drying in the shade.
Through the above analysis, there are no absolute advantages and disadvantages of wall cloth and wallpaper, and both materials can be selected according to the decoration needs of your home. Indoor humidity, sunshine, environmental protection needs, children's needs. On the whole, if the economic situation is good, it is recommended to choose wall covering or high-quality pure paper wallpaper. The wallpaper has various production techniques and good decoration. The main concerns in choosing wallpaper are: material, durability, moisture-proof, post-maintenance and environmental protection.
