Is it cost-effective to decorate with wallpaper or scrape white?

If it is decorated, is it cost-effective to paste wallpaper or scrape white? Then, if you just choose between pasting wallpaper and scraping white, then personally, scraping white is definitely cost-effective. Why do you say that? Because we must first know the relationship between scraping white and pasting wallpaper, and then compare which one is cost-effective. The following miscellaneous altar will answer this question for everyone according to this procedure.

(1): What is the specific operation process of scraping and pasting wallpaper on the wall?

Whitening the wall and pasting wallpaper are two different processing technologies, which are our traditional methods to deal with the wall. But be sure to understand the relationship between scraping white and pasting wallpaper. Because you can't compare without understanding the relationship. So I'll introduce you to the specific problems of scraping white and pasting wallpaper.

Scraping white on the wall actually means scraping putty on the wall. For example, we bought a rough house, so the wall was blown white when we handed it over. This is what we usually call four white landings. Therefore, scraping white is a simple treatment of the concrete layer and plastering layer of the wall, and it is also a foundation for rough decoration. You can understand that almost all the walls need to be scraped white except the kitchen and bathroom.

①: materials. There are two kinds of materials commonly used for scraping white: one is the most traditional putty powder, and the other is a relatively high-grade putty paste. For these two kinds of putty, it can be divided into interior putty and exterior putty. For example, using putty powder is to add a certain proportion of water, stir it into a paste, and scrape it in batches. Putty paste is the finished product material, which can be scraped directly.

②: Construction steps. For scraping white, we are the traditional method of scraping putty. First of all, we use putty as the whole base. Is simply scraping a layer of putty on the whole wall. When the first layer of putty is completely dried, it is polished locally, and at this time, residual particles and yin and yang angles are polished. After that, the second putty scraping is carried out. If the putty can't meet the flatness requirements for the second time, it needs to be scraped for the third time, and then the overall construction of scraping the wall is finally completed.

③: Scraping white is the basis of our future wall installation. That is to say, whether we stick wallpaper on the surface, or wall covering, or brush latex paint on the wall, then the first thing we have to do is to scrape the white on the wall, and then we can stick wallpaper or brush latex paint.

⑵: wallpaper

Wallpaper is the last step for our wall to break away from the decorative layer. In other words, the effect of our wallpaper paste is the effect of our wall decoration. Therefore, wallpaper pasting also has very strict requirements. For pasting wallpaper, individuals need to know other issues.

①: materials. The materials used for pasting wallpaper are wallpaper and wallpaper glue. For example, this wallpaper is basically made of matching plant glue. When pasting, now brush a layer of basement membrane on the wall, then apply wallpaper glue on the back of the wallpaper and stick the wallpaper on the wall.

②: Paste method. Before pasting wallpaper, we must treat the wall surface qualified. What we need at this time is that the wall should be putty. The putty should be polished to ensure that there are no particles on the surface, otherwise it will protrude from the wallpaper. Clean up the dust on the surface after polishing, and the second step is to paste wallpaper. In other words, our wallpaper was pasted after the white wall was qualified.

(2): Which is more cost-effective, scraping the wall white or pasting wallpaper?

It is cost-effective to scrape the wall white or paste wallpaper. Through the introduction of different situations of wall scraping and wallpaper pasting, we will find that wall scraping is only a basis of wallpaper pasting. Therefore, if it is more cost-effective to scrape white or paste wallpaper on the wall, it must be scraped white. The reasons are as follows.

(1): Whitening the wall means scraping putty on the wall. For home improvement, at this stage, home improvement walls will basically choose water-resistant putty. For waterproof putty scraped on the wall, its price is not particularly high. For example, in most areas, the price of scraping water-resistant putty on walls is around 30 yuan per square meter. Then the cost of whitewashing our walls is about 30 yuan per square meter.

②: The cost of pasting wallpaper on the wall. Personally, I think the cost of wallpaper on the wall should reach 70 to 80 yuan per square meter. Why should it reach 70 to 80 yuan per square meter? Because we need to scrape the wall white before pasting wallpaper, at this time we need to count the cost of scraping white in the cost of pasting wallpaper, which is about 30 yuan per square meter. In addition, the cost of wallpaper is extra. For example, ordinary wallpaper, the contract price per square meter is around 30, 40 yuan. Then the overall cost of wallpaper on the wall should reach 70 to 80 yuan per square meter. But the price will vary according to the wallpaper we choose and the region.

Tips and suggestions: 1. For the treatment of the wall, personal advice is to try not to send it by scraping. Because scraping white is only a rough decoration of the wall, it is best to brush latex paint or paste wallpaper after scraping white. (2) When we calculate the cost of surface decoration, we must also include the processing cost of grass-roots units. Because whether we stick wallpaper on the surface or brush latex paint, we must scrape the wall first, that is, scrape putty. The surface decoration can only be carried out after the putty is qualified.

Concluding remarks

About the wall decoration method, you can choose according to the overall decoration style. If you compare which kind of wall is more economical, then my personal suggestion is to choose the most traditional one to scrape putty on the wall, and then brush latex paint or paste wallpaper. In addition, everyone must be clear about the specific requirements of each step of construction when decorating. For example, it is unreasonable to compare white with wallpaper. Because scraping white is only the basic treatment, wallpaper is the surface treatment. Therefore, when we decorate our home, we should also make these problems clear, which is also conducive to our decoration.
