One. What is "cold glue wallpaper"?

The term "cold glue" refers to the potato glue powder and rice glue paste commonly used for wall coverings. These glues require dilution with water to achieve the desired consistency before application to walls or wall coverings. Potato glue and rice glue are referred to as "cold glue" because they can be easily diluted with cold water.

Second, which is better: self-adhesive wallpaper or low-glue wallpaper?

"As mentioned above, this article introduces self-adhesive wall covering. Self-adhesive wall covering, also known as heat-activated wall covering, can be understood literally as wall covering that does not require glue. It contains its own adhesive and has adhesive properties. When using heat-activated wall covering, you can use a steam iron to paste it onto the wall.Regarding which is better, self-adhesive wall covering or cold-adhesive wall covering, the following will provide more information:"

1、Adhesive-free wallpaper

Construction stages: hanging, pressing, and trimming.

Advantages: No need for glue, easy to carry (but requires processing tools such as a steam iron); can be operated by one person with some effort.

Disadvantages: Difficult to apply on corners with shadows; high transportation temperatures or indoor temperatures can affect the service life; the maturity of the back-glue technology needs to be tested, and the environmental friendliness of the adhesive components needs to be verified; the impact of high temperatures on the multi-functional nano coating of the wall fabric needs to be observed. When using hot glue (non-nano process), the penetration between the wall and the fabric base affects breathability.

2、Cold-adhesive Wallpaper

Construction stages: adhesive application, fabric hanging, putty application, and edge trimming.

Advantages: Mainstream product with mature technology, easy to use, and the environmental issues related to the adhesive have been widely recognized and certified by the market (widely used in wallpaper pasting projects). Customers can choose from a range of adhesives based on their economic levels. The back of the wallpaper has a foam coating or non-woven fabric base, which ensures that the adhesive does not affect breathability, and its lifespan has been recognized by the market.

Disadvantages: Requires carrying adhesive, mixing equipment, etc., and cannot be operated by a single person due to the large size and weight of the fabric.
