I.Waterproof wall coveringHow much is it per square meter?
1、What is the price per square meter for waterproof wallpaper? Waterproof wallpaper comes in various types, and the quality varies significantly. As a result, the price differences between different types of waterproof wallpaper can be substantial.
2. The price of waterproof wall coverings typically ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan per roll. When priced by square meter, waterproof wall coverings with simple patterns and designs are approximately 40 yuan per square meter. Waterproof wall coverings with complex and aesthetically pleasing patterns are typically priced around 180 yuan per square meter.
3. Furthermore, the price of waterproof wall coverings varies depending on the quality and labor costs for installation, which differ according to the economic development of different regions. Additionally, the more complex the design and the better the materials, the higher the price of the wall covering, and even waterproof wall coverings can cost several hundred yuan per square meter.
II.Waterproof wall coveringHow to choose
1、How to choose the right wall covering material?
The main materials for seamless wall coverings include: plush wall fabric, silk wall fabric, synthetic fiber wall fabric, yarn wall fabric, and woven wall fabric. Transfer printing fabric, spray printing fabric, and dyed fabric are similar types, characterized by high color saturation, easy color fading, limited patterns, and low prices, making them unsuitable for application.
Embroidered fabric with strong three-dimensionality and prominent floral patterns. Due to being machine-embroidered, the floral designs appear rigid. Over time, the embroidery thread may loosen. We recommend using it on a small scale, rather than covering an entire room.
Dyed fabrics are particularly special; the warp and weft threads must be dyed before weaving, resulting in vibrant colors, excellent colorfastness, a full and smooth texture, and a higher price point.
It is recommended to choose fabric for interior design, as it will last longer and provide better value.
2、Methods for selecting wall coverings: visual inspection + tactile examination + wiping
Assess based on density: High-quality wall coverings have tightly woven threads that allow light to pass through, providing excellent transparency. The quality is questionable.Good wall coverings undergo a two-stage washing process before leaving the factory, resulting in uniform color.
Feel the surface with your hand; high-quality wall fabrics should be soft, fine, and have good elasticity. Do not assume that thicker wall fabrics are always better. The thickness and quality of wall fabrics are not directly related.
Test the water resistance and stain resistance of the fabric by pouring a small amount of water on it and observing whether it penetrates. If the fabric does not penetrate, it indicates good water resistance and stain resistance.
Recommendation: Choose high-precision wallcoverings that have undergone a three-protection (anti-mold, anti-insect, anti-termite) treatment. This will make cleaning and maintenance easier in the future.
3、How to choose the color of wall covering?
The room has ample natural light and is well-lit, making cool-toned colors like light blue an excellent choice. Avoid selecting patterns with excessive reflectivity. For rooms with less light, warm colors like light yellow, light pink, and coffee tones are suitable. once you understand the properties of the colors, you'll know which ones to choose. Gray tones, such as beige and brown gray, create a warm and natural effect. Blue-gray and green-gray tones convey a youthful and fashionable feel. Light gray is clean and refreshing, while dark gray is elegant and sophisticated.
When selecting wall coverings, do not lay them flat to view the samples. Instead, stand the samples upright and avoid placing them under spotlights. Place them in locations such as doorways or windows, approximately 3-5 meters away, and have the vendor repeatedly rotate the samples for comparison.
4、How to choose the backing material for wall coverings?
Wallcoverings typically consist of three different backing materials, including non-woven backing, coated backing, and heat-activated backing.
The non-woven substrate has varying quality, with inconsistent permeability to adhesives, leading to easy formation of creases and an uneven appearance.
The coating base exhibits good anti-mold and anti-moisture properties, excellent stability, and good performance, but it is relatively expensive and is not commonly sold by many merchants.
Heat-activated adhesive base, without a coating, applied directly to the fabric. This application method presents challenges during construction. It was applied using a hot iron, which limits breathability. Suitable for use in southern climates, offering improved moisture resistance.
Overview: Consider your own renovation budget. Choosing wall coverings with a coating base is the best option. If you prefer an environmentally friendly option, choose wall coverings with a hot melt adhesive base. For budgets that are generally average, it is recommended to choose wall coverings with a non-woven fabric base.
