Compared with traditional latex paint, why is PVC wallpaper better?

Compared with traditional latex paint, PVC wallpaper has more advantages in the following aspects:

Decorative effect
Rich patterns and colors: PVC wallpaper has a variety of patterns and colors to choose from. Whether it is simple and modern, European classical, Chinese style or pastoral style, you can find a matching style to meet the diverse needs of different consumers for home decoration styles. The color of latex paint is relatively single, and usually requires different color matching to achieve limited color changes. It is even more difficult to compare with PVC wallpaper in terms of pattern performance.
Three-dimensional and texture effect: Some PVC wallpapers can be processed through special processes to present a three-dimensional texture effect, such as imitation marble, imitation leather, imitation wallpaper, etc., which can add a unique texture and touch to the wall and enhance the grade and taste of the home. The latex paint wall is generally a flat plane effect, and it is difficult to create this three-dimensional and rich texture.

Convenience of construction
Fast construction speed: The construction of PVC wallpaper is relatively simple, and generally skilled workers can quickly complete the paving work. Especially for large-area wall decoration, the speed of wallpaper paving is often much faster than that of latex paint, which can greatly shorten the decoration period. Latex paint construction requires multiple steps such as base treatment, primer painting, and topcoat painting, and each painting requires a certain drying time, and the overall construction period is relatively long.
Relatively low requirements for the base: PVC wallpaper has relatively low requirements for the flatness of the wall base, and some small flaws can be covered to a certain extent by paving the wallpaper. However, latex paint has high requirements for the flatness and smoothness of the wall base, and requires multiple polishing and other treatments to ensure the final painting effect.

Maintenance
Easy to clean: The surface of PVC wallpaper usually has good stain resistance, and daily stains can be removed by gently wiping with a damp cloth. For some stubborn stains, you can also use a mild detergent to clean it without causing too much damage to the wallpaper surface. Once the latex paint wall is dirty, it is relatively difficult to clean, especially some oily stains or graffiti, which may be difficult to completely remove, and may even require repainting the wall.
Partial replacement: If the PVC wallpaper is partially damaged during use, such as scratches or tears, only the damaged part can be replaced without processing the entire wall, and the maintenance cost is relatively low. If the latex paint wall is partially damaged, there may be problems such as color differences after repair, which will affect the overall aesthetics.

Environmental performance
Low VOC emissions: With the continuous improvement of production technology, many high-quality PVC wallpapers now use environmentally friendly raw materials and production processes, with low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and less pollution to the indoor environment. Some high-quality PVC wallpapers can even meet national environmental protection standards, meeting people's demand for green and environmentally friendly homes. Traditional latex paint may release more VOCs and other harmful gases during construction and use, which takes a certain amount of time to evaporate completely, and has a certain impact on indoor air quality.
No formaldehyde release: PVC wallpapers produced by regular manufacturers generally do not contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde. In contrast, some latex paint products may add additives containing formaldehyde during the production process, which may cause the risk of formaldehyde release and potential harm to human health.

Durability
Abrasion and tear resistance: PVC wallpaper has good abrasion and tear resistance, can withstand a certain degree of friction and collision, and is not easy to break. Especially some specially treated PVC wallpapers, the wear-resistant layer on the surface can effectively protect the wallpaper and extend its service life. Latex paint walls are relatively fragile and easily scratched or bumped, affecting the beauty and integrity of the wall.
Water resistance and moisture resistance: PVC wallpaper has good water resistance and moisture resistance, and is particularly suitable for environments with high humidity, such as bathrooms, kitchens and other areas. It can effectively prevent moisture from penetrating into the wall and avoid problems such as dampness and mold on the wall. However, latex paint is prone to peeling, shedding, and mold in a long-term humid environment, affecting the service life and beauty of the wall.
