Paint is a special main material for home decoration. It is understood that in the general home decoration, paint spending accounts for only about 8% of the entire renovation costs, but it accounts for 80% of the entire renovation area, 100% determines the overall decoration effect and the living environment, a direct impact on family health.
Paints are generally divided into water-based paints and oil paints. Latex paint is a kind of water-based paint. It is mainly used for brushing inside and outside walls of homes, and is the kind of paint most exposed to consumers. Latex paint on the market is really "chaotic flower gradually charming eyes", brand, specifications, grade, function and color are all different.
For consumers, both buying and painting are very troublesome. Quality, environmental protection, and price must be taken care of. The reporter interviewed a number of people in the industry, hoping to help you in the purchase of latex paint more peace of mind, construction more comfortable.
Purchase details determine the colorful quality
Mr. Deng, head of the Duluxe River Essence Store, told reporters that when choosing paint, it is necessary to pay attention to some details: One look at the second and third hands, hoping to help consumers.
A look: Look at the packaging and environmental testing report. The front of the general latex paint will be marked with the name, trademark, net content, composition, use and precautions. Pay attention to the production date and shelf life, each brand of latex paint marked the shelf life of 1 year to 5 years, as far as possible to buy recently produced products. Now general brand latex paints have environmental testing reports or test sheets. Consumers can clearly see that the test sheet can have a detailed understanding of the environmental performance of latex paint. The test report has standards for the detection of VOC, free formaldehyde, and heavy metal content. The national standard VOC cannot exceed 200 grams per liter; free formaldehyde cannot exceed 0.1 grams per kilogram.
Two points: weight component. In general, the quality of qualified latex paint, a barrel of 5 liters about 7 kilograms; a bucket of 18 liters of about 25 kilograms. There is also a simple way to lift the paint bucket. Normally, the sound of the regular brand latex paint is not heard, and it is easy to shake the sound, which proves that the latex paint has insufficient viscosity.
Three Hands: Hands-on can open test. High-quality latex paint is more viscous, milky white liquid, no lump, even after mixing, no odor. Otherwise, there is a quality problem with latex paint. It can evenly spread on the finger and dry the conjunctiva within a few minutes. The conjunctiva has a certain degree of ductility is the confidence coating.
Brushing construction to avoid the three major traps
The paint itself is a semi-finished product. If you want to achieve the most perfect final result, in addition to the quality of the paint itself, the construction also plays a key role.
According to the quality inspection department manager Mr. Zhou, who has long been engaged in home improvement quality inspection work, the choice of a formal and reputable home improvement company certainly has quality assurance. However, some “guerrilla guerrillas†can easily let consumers fall into the brushing trap.
Trap a low price temptation
Now the painter's offer is getting lower and lower. Some oil workers offer 16 yuan to 18 yuan per square meter in all packages (including paint prices and wages), if only simple brushing is as low as 6 yuan to 7 yuan. Manager Zhou reminded consumers that too low prices should not be trusted. If you really brush at these prices, sometimes the cost of the paint is not enough. The normal brushing price, decoration company is generally about 30 yuan (including the price of paint).
Special reminder: If consumers only want to deal with walls, in addition to looking for formal home improvement companies, they can also find vendors. Now some paint manufacturers also provide value-added services for painting.
Trap II
Latex paint is generally divided into primer and topcoat. If you want to paint the wall, the normal brushing process is to do the wall treatment first - scrape the putty, and then brush the primer and topcoat.
And now some painters like to do their hands and feet on the primer. Because the paint will be covered after brushing the primer, the owner will not see the effect of the paint. Manager Zhou met with a case. The painter used the owner's busy work and did not have time to look at the opportunity of renovation. He replaced the 5 liters of 240 yuan of anti-alkali paint purchased by the owner with a low price of 18 liters of 180 yuan. Finally, the owner was also lost.
Special reminder: If the owner is free, you can watch the painter open the barrel while painting. It is difficult to change the latex paint after opening the barrel.
Trap three cut corners
Latex paints are water-based paints that are diluted by the addition of a certain proportion of water during construction. Different paint brands, the proportion of added water from 10% to 30%. Some painters intentionally increase the proportion of water in order to save time or save paint, and the highest is to add more than 50% of water. The consequence of water infusion is that the hiding ability of latex paint is greatly reduced, and the effect of covering cracks and protecting the wall surface is not achieved at all.
Special reminder: Water can be easily found by visual inspection and touch.
The higher the price is not better
The price of latex paint on the market varies widely, ranging from 7 yuan to 117 yuan per liter. But not the higher the price, the better the performance indicators. Some merchants intentionally exaggerate the performance of environmental protection, hiding power, stain resistance, and mold resistance, but in fact there is no big difference.
Special reminder: In the purchase of such products, should be a good cost-effective as a purchase standard, to view the product test report.
Decoration Business Tips: Colorful colors should pay attention
The color of latex paint is no longer monotonous white, and many consumers prefer to use bright colors to light up life.
In swatches and paint buckets, the color seen by the consumer and the final effect on the wall are not necessarily the same. Because the color of the paint is not only affected by the light, it is also affected by the painted area. When a color is applied to a large area, the color is usually emphasized so that you can choose a slightly lighter color.
