When we decorate the house, the wall area is still relatively large, so many people pay great attention to the decoration of the wall when decorating the house. When decorating walls, they usually use white paint or latex paint. But many people don't know the difference between white paint and latex paint, so let's introduce it to you!

First, the difference between white paint and latex paint

1. Scraping white and brushing latex paint are two processes in wall decoration, which complement each other and do not conflict. Moreover, scraping white is the basic treatment on the wall before wall painting, and it is combined with latex paint. Scraping white is to level the wall with white putty. When it's dry, you can polish it with sand skin, and then you can roll the latex paint. Latex paint is actually the last process in the whole wall decoration process.

2. Brush latex paint. Be sure to clean up the dust before brushing latex paint. Latex paint can be added with proper amount of water according to the dryness of the wall, and then polished with sandpaper after brushing one side, so that it will have better effect and feel after brushing both sides.

3. Dabai and latex paint are two completely different materials. Scraping white and brushing latex paint are two processes in wall decoration, which have different functions in construction. Dabai is the putty we use in the wall construction. Its function is to make the wall smooth and have a solid protective layer. Latex paint is a surface protective paint coated on Dabai, and its function is to feel smoother and more delicate. But also has a cleaning function. Scraping white is actually brushing wall paint. Before, the basic treatment of the wall was to level the wall with white putty. When it's dry, smooth it with sand skin, and then you can brush latex paint. Latex paint is the last process in the whole wall decoration process.

Second, the wall decoration matters needing attention

1. It is very easy to have the illusion that "the wall has dried up" in summer. During construction, the construction personnel must ensure that the wall foundation is completely dry before painting the wall. Conditional should use professional instruments to determine the moisture content of the wall, and then carry out construction after reaching the standard. In addition, Bian Xiao on Yunfu reminds you that if it is difficult to dry the wall due to high humidity and high temperature, you can use dehumidifier as an aid to speed up the drying of the wall.

2. Generally, the coated wallpaper is scratch-resistant and washable. You can gently scrape the surface with a plastic scraper to drive out bubbles. If a small amount of extra glue is driven out of the surface, it should be wiped clean with a wet sponge immediately, and the scraper should not be too hard, otherwise it will easily scratch the surface, resulting in fading, reflection and obvious seams.

3. Extend the drying time of wall putty. Before wall painting, putty needs to be scraped, which generally takes 1-3 times, during which the normal drying time is 1-2 days. In summer decoration, it is advisable to extend the time for putty to dry thoroughly as much as possible, generally 2-3 days. Because the weather is hot and humid in summer, especially when heavy rain comes, the putty will dry for a longer time. In addition, when hanging putty, clean the water vapor on the wall with a dry cloth and try to keep the wall dry, which is conducive to painting the wall.

Seeing this, this article briefly introduces the difference between whitewashed paint and latex paint and the matters needing attention in wall decoration. Then you should have a general understanding of the difference between whitewashed paint and latex paint after reading Bian Xiao's article.
