How to choose interior paint correctly? Number paint purchase five misunderstandings

Paint selection mistake 1: anti-crack paint must be anti-crack

Whether the new house or the old house, the phenomenon of wall cracking is very much. Many people go to great lengths to choose a good paint to solve the problem of cracking. I have seen a famous brand of paint packaging on the surface of the "crack resistance". Many consumers think that as long as the use of these paints can prevent wall cracking and other problems, in fact, the role of doing so is not large.

It is unlikely that a thin layer of paint film can prevent the cracking of the wall. The "elastic latex paint" on the market now can generally only make up for micro-cracks below 0.3mm. If the wall has cracked, want to solve these problems, it is best to use latex paint to make up, or use cement to repair the cracks, and then paint.

Paint selection mistake 2: blindly worry about the environmental protection of paint

As people pay more and more attention to health, many people are not afraid of fake goods but afraid of decoration pollution. When it comes to decoration pollution, many people immediately think of paint. Everyone believes that the paint contains a lot of formaldehyde, benzene, VOC and other toxic substances, therefore, the selection of paint is also very worried. But in fact, this worry is not necessary, now the safety of many coatings has reached a better level, consumers do not have to worry too much.

In fact, many consumers' concerns about the environmental protection of coatings can be said to be blind. Now most of the qualified indoor wall coatings are safe, they are generally water-based coatings, environmentally friendly water-based coatings produced formaldehyde, benzene and other harmful substances are less, generally not harmful to the human body, as long as the indoor ventilation after decoration, can effectively avoid these decoration pollution.

Paint selection mistake 3: too concerned about the brand of paint

Many owners believe that the purchase of paint is to buy a well-known brand, of course, well-known brand products have a certain quality assurance, but can not blindly pursue the brand. In fact, the quality and effect of many ordinary brand products and well-known brand products are not very different, but there is a gap in price. A reasonable choice of paint is a wise choice.

When selecting paint, you should first understand the quality, reputation and market of various brands of paint on the network or other channels. Paint with the same effect, try to choose a more reasonable price brand.

Paint selection mistake 4: buy more materials is good

Many owners are afraid to buy less paint, therefore, in the beginning to buy a large number of, in fact, this is a big mistake, resulting in the waste of materials, thus affecting the cost of the project, the construction site accumulation of too much paint on the construction safety has also caused a certain impact.

Before construction, be sure to look at the area of the construction area, so as to estimate how much to buy materials, usually purchased materials should be 10%-15% more than the budget, which can reduce the probability of buying materials again, and waste opportunities can be minimized.

Paint selection mistake five: no smell is environmentally friendly

Many people judge the safety of wall paint by smelling, and think that low-odor or odorless wall paint is environmentally friendly. This is a big mistake. Because odorless coatings can be achieved by adding flavor or using low-taste materials, odorless coatings are not all environmentally friendly and non-toxic. The most professional way to judge the environmental protection of wall paint is to see whether its environmental indicators meet the standards. There are three key environmental indicators of wall paint: VOC, free formaldehyde, heavy metals.

No matter what kind of decoration, paint is one of the indispensable decoration materials, and with the progress of decoration construction technology, the innovation of decoration materials, the choice of decoration materials is more and more important, especially the choice of paint is the most important. Owner friends in the choice of decoration paint must be clear of the above five misunderstandings, so as to ensure the quality of paint and family health.
