Recently visited the decoration of a homeowner's home, as soon as I entered the house, I felt simple and refreshing, and I noticed that the wall was integrated for a long time. Today, let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of integrated walls, and make a comparison.
First, the advantages of integrated walls
1. Good-looking
The texture of the integrated wall is printed in advance, and everyone may choose to have a special texture pattern in the previous decoration, but now the decoration is in pursuit of minimalism, even if it is a solid color integrated wall, it is also very attractive. As a result, integrated walls have a wide range of options and are also attractive in color.
2. Good moisture resistance
If you are renovating an old house, you may have a pain point, that is, the original putty and painted wall, often because of these reasons, the wall peels off and becomes very ugly over time. But with an integrated wall, you don't have to worry about this problem.
The integrated wall has very good moisture-proof performance, such as the bamboo and wood fiber integrated wallboard and aluminum alloy integrated wallboard that we often hear, the moisture content and water absorption rate of the bamboo and wood fiber integrated wallboard are almost the same, so it is not easy to get wet; The aluminum alloy integrated wallboard has good moisture-proof performance through laminating and other processes.
3. Don't worry about cracking and other problems
Traditional putty brushing latex paint will also have the problem of wall cracking, which may be caused by the construction of the inner layer of putty is not dry. The integrated wall panels are made in advance, so you don't have to worry about cracking.
4. Convenient construction
Traditional putty scraping and brushing latex paint requires a lot of processes, and it is also necessary to ensure that the inner layer is dry before proceeding with the next step of construction. However, the integrated wall panel construction can be done after the base layer, the direct measuring ruler cutting and installation, the construction is quite convenient, and the construction period is saved.
Second, the disadvantages of integrated walls
1. The price is expensive
The construction of integrated wall panels needs to do a good job in grassroots construction first, and the integrated construction is basically 100-200 yuan / square, plus the construction of the integrated wall, which is really much more expensive than the price of dozens of yuan per square meter of scraping putty and brushing latex paint.
2. Occupy a certain wall thickness
Scraping putty brush latex paint can not occupy much thickness of the wall, but to do integrated wall construction, the base will occupy a certain thickness, large families are fine, for small families are not friendly, the room area will become smaller because of the construction of the integrated wall.
3. It is not conducive to renovation
Although the integrated wall panels are beautiful, if you want to renovate them, the price will be a bit high. If you want to renovate the putty and brush latex paint, you can remove the wall skin (it doesn't cost much), or you can paint it again on the original basis, which is relatively more flexible.
However, the current trend is more inclined to minimalist style, and now many home decoration options will choose simple patterns for integrated wall panels, and the relative use time is also longer, and the warmth of the room can be enhanced through soft decoration in the later stage.
4. Possible environmental protection problems
Nowadays, most of the latex paint is more environmentally friendly, but in the construction of integrated wallboards, many masters will still use glue for pasting construction, so it may bring potential environmental problems. But in fact, we still need ventilation after decoration, which is not too worrying.
Brief summary:
Based on the above analysis, the advantages of integrating the wall actually outweigh the disadvantages, the most important thing is that the wall is clean and tidy, and you can choose your favorite picture pattern, and the construction is relatively convenient. It is no wonder that more and more home decoration is now popular to use integrated wall panels.
