PVC Decorative Film vs. Traditional Wallpaper: A Dual Competition of Performance and Environmental Protection

Author: admin / 2024-08-15

1. Performance Comparison
1. Waterproof and Moisture-proof
PVC Decorative Film: PVC material itself has excellent waterproof and moisture-proof properties, and can maintain its stability and beauty even in humid environments. This feature makes PVC decorative film particularly suitable for areas prone to moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Traditional wallpaper: Although some high-end wallpapers also have certain waterproof and moisture-proof functions, their waterproof and moisture-proof properties are generally weaker than those of PVC decorative films. In a long-term humid environment, traditional wallpapers are prone to problems such as mold and shedding.
2. Durability
PVC Decorative Film: PVC material is wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, not easy to deform, and has a long service life. Even after long-term use, its appearance and performance can remain in good condition.
Traditional wallpaper: The durability of traditional wallpaper is relatively weak, and it is easily affected by external forces and has problems such as breakage and fading. Especially in a home environment with children or pets, the maintenance cost of wallpaper will be relatively high.
3. Convenience of construction
PVC Decorative Film: PVC decorative film is easy and quick to construct, and can be installed in a modular way, which greatly shortens the construction period. At the same time, its precise size and tight joints make the construction effect more beautiful.
Traditional wallpaper: The construction of traditional wallpaper is relatively complicated, and it requires multiple steps such as measurement, cutting, brushing glue, and pasting. The construction effect depends largely on the craftsmanship and experience of the construction personnel. If the glue is not applied evenly or the wallpaper is not pasted flat, the wall effect may be unsatisfactory.

2. Environmental protection comparison
1. Material environmental protection
PVC Decorative Film: PVC materials may cause certain environmental pollution during the production process, but they do not contain harmful substances themselves. High-quality PVC decorative film meets national safety standards and will not cause harm to the human body. However, there are also some poor quality PVC decorative films on the market, which may contain harmful substances. Consumers need to choose carefully when purchasing.
Traditional wallpaper: The environmental protection of traditional wallpaper mainly depends on its base material, surface material and printing material. Environmentally friendly wallpapers use natural velvet fibers, non-woven fabrics, etc. as base materials, and pure paper or water-based inks as surface materials and printing materials. However, some wallpapers may contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde, which has a certain impact on indoor air quality.
2. Recycling and reuse
PVC Decorative Film: PVC materials have certain recycling value, and environmental pollution can be reduced by recycling and reuse. However, it should be noted that the recycling and processing of PVC materials is relatively complicated and requires professional equipment and technical support.
Traditional wallpaper: The recycling and reuse of traditional wallpaper is relatively difficult. Due to its diverse materials and complex structure, it is difficult to achieve efficient recycling. Therefore, a large amount of waste is often generated when the wallpaper is replaced, which puts a certain burden on the environment.
