My family has just moved in for 3 years, but because of the children at home, the walls are already dirty. So a few days ago, I did an wall renovation . I was on site during this renovation and talked a lot with the construction workers. From them, I got 6 super practical suggestions - I must do the next time I decorate.
[Suggestion 1] Latex paint can also play tricks.
wallpaper wall cloth has patterns, diatom mud shell powder wall has grainy feeling. Can latex painted walls be mediocre? Actually, it’s not - just change the construction method.
The most popular construction method now is spraying, which is to spray latex paint on the wall with a special machine. The wall surface made in this way is very smooth. If you want a texture, you can use the roller coating method. By controlling the length of the roller hair, you can also create a different texture.
[Suggestion 2] Pollutants mainly come from putty powder
latex paint is the most environmentally friendly one of all wall decoration materials. Even the diatom mud that focuses on environmentally friendly is vulnerable to it. But why do some walls still have formaldehyde and exceed the standard after they are finished?
This is not actually a problem with latex paint, it is all a problem with putty powder. Putty powder is actually talc powder, which has no stickiness and requires glue to be added to use. The pollution of inferior glue is extremely high, and it will continue to release formaldehyde on the wall for many years. Good putty powder ( water-resistant putty ) is not only free from pollution, but also not afraid of water or moisture. It can continue to be used next time the wall is renovated.
[Suggestion 3] It is best to choose finished
The latex paint except white is considered to be a color paint. There are three sources of color-tuning paint: finished color paint, computer color-tuning paint and artificial color-tuning paint.
is best to choose finished color paint. When you make up for the color in the future, you can achieve 0 color difference. If the finished paint does not have the color you want, you can choose a computer color matching paint. Strictly adding color paste according to the proportions will make the color control more accurate. The least recommended is artificial color-touch paint. If the paint is not enough and the exact same color cannot be adjusted, the wall will be painted with a cat face.
[Suggestion 4] Art paint is very good but you can't use more
There are some art paints, there are many patterns. For example, blackboard paint can turn the wall into a blackboard effect; the pattern will automatically appear on the wall. This kind of paint is very good, but don’t use it too much, just use it on local walls.
On the one hand, because these paints are relatively expensive and use them all, it is better to choose wall cloth directly. On the other hand, because the art paint contains glue, if you don’t choose it well, the pollution will be more serious, and the "environmental" characteristics of latex paint are lost. You can make color blocking and other shapes through construction - if you think the latex paint is too monotonous, it is recommended to use colors for decoration.
[Suggestion 5] The remaining paint should be retained for 3 years
latex paint will never be used up just now, and there will usually be some left. Don't throw away the remaining latex paint. Find a drink bottle, twist the lid and put it in. Wherever you need repair or color repair in the future, you can take it out and use it directly.
latex paint placed in a beverage bottle can be stored for 3 years. To determine whether the old paint can still be used, you can ask about the smell: If it has become sour, it is broken; as long as there is no odor, you can continue to use it. Be sure to put it in a house drink bottle and not directly in a paint bucket to avoid the latex paint being unusable due to dryness.
[Suggestion 6] You can use a wet cloth to wipe
Many people don’t choose latex paint because they think it’s more troublesome to clean up latex paint. The wall cloth is not afraid of water, you can wipe it directly with a wet rag. But in fact, latex paint can also be wiped with a damp cloth, just make the paint thicker.
If you are roller-coated wall, just do two normal topcoats and it will be thick enough. If it is a sprayed wall, it is recommended to spray three times of topcoat to ensure the thickness of the paint. After wiping the latex paint with a damp cloth, the paint surface will become slightly softer. But don’t worry, as long as the paint surface is thick enough and does not damage the primer, it will be restored after the paint surface is dry.
