First, the advantages of waterproof wallpaper
1, convenient
When laying tiles, tiles need to be soaked in advance and mixed with mud and the like, while waterproof wallpaper only needs to be mixed with glue and pasted correctly, which is not only convenient during the decoration period, but also much easier to operate during the maintenance period than tiles, and it is easier to make up the wallpaper when problems need maintenance.
2, color pattern contrast
Relatively speaking, wallpaper will have more choices in patterns and colors than tiles, and it will be very personalized. Some manufacturers can also accept consumers to design their own patterns to achieve their own satisfactory results, but the cost will be much higher.
3. Life cycle
There is still a gap between the service life of wallpaper and that of ceramic tiles. Generally, tiles can exist permanently if the paving procedure is correct, but the service life of wallpaper is much shorter. After a long time, wallpaper will not be sticky, and it is easy to get moldy in wet season.
Second, the shortcomings of waterproof wallpaper
1, poor durability
Waterproof wallpaper uses special materials as the paper base, but after all, it belongs to paper, and its durability is incomparable with materials such as stone, pottery and clay of ceramic tiles. So in terms of durability, tiles are better.
2. Environmental protection
Moreover, ceramic tiles have better environmental protection performance. Waterproof wallpaper is based on PVC paper, and additives such as lubricants, auxiliary processing AIDS, pigments and impact agents are often added to PVC. Once these additives exceed the standard, they will release harmful substances and cause harm to human health. So if it is a waterproof wallpaper with a pungent smell, you must not choose it.
3, short service life
Although the operation of wallpaper is relatively simple, its production process is not simple. Usually, it is additives such as auxiliary processing AIDS, pigments, lubricants and anti-granules. They are all added, and their service life is short, which is easy to cause secondary waste, which is also one of the reasons for low environmental protection.
Third, how to paste waterproof wallpaper
1. Wipe the dust and grease on the surface of the position to be pasted and dry it (the pasting surface should be smooth and not wet).
2, glue, wallpaper glue find a bucket to pick up water and slowly pour wallpaper powder, while stirring by hand.
3. Cut the paper, measure the wall size, and use wallpaper knife to cut the paper one by one (longer than the actual size), and some need patterns.
4. Paste the wallpaper, find a flat and clean place and brush the glue evenly with a roller.
5. From top to bottom, paste the wallpaper carefully and gradually remove the backing paper on the back. While removing the backing paper, gently smooth it from the center of the wallpaper to both sides with a soft cloth or towel to discharge all bubbles to ensure smooth effect.
