Wall moisture-proof materials are special coatings or coverings used to prevent moisture penetration and mold growth. They are widely used in humid environments such as basements, bathrooms, and kitchens.
Common wall moisture-proof materials include moisture-proof paint, waterproof coating, moisture-proof film, PVC wallboard, wood-plastic wallboard, etc.
Moisture-proof paint and waterproof coating effectively prevent moisture penetration by forming a waterproof layer on the wall, and have antibacterial and mildew-proof functions; moisture-proof film and moisture-proof board prevent moisture from entering the wall through physical isolation.
These wall moisture-proof materials can improve the moisture-proof performance of the wall and their service life, prevent mold growth, and protect indoor air quality.
Wallpaper
Wallpaper is a common indoor wall decoration material, mainly made of paper, PVC, non-woven fabrics, or textiles, with various patterns and colors printed on the surface, suitable for homes, offices, hotels, and other places.
The main feature of wallpaper is that it is highly decorative and can quickly change the style and atmosphere of the room, providing a variety of options, such as patterns, geometric patterns, landscapes, etc.
Its advantages include easy installation and simple maintenance. Some wallpapers are wear-resistant, moisture-proof, and stain-resistant, and are relatively economical.
The disadvantage is that some wallpapers may be affected by humidity and temperature changes, and are prone to warping, mold, or fading; in addition, high-end wallpapers may be expensive, and when replaced, they need to be torn off and re-pasted, which increases construction costs and complexity.
Waterproofing membrane
Waterproofing membrane is a material used in building waterproofing projects. It is usually made of high molecular polymer, rubber, asphalt, etc., rolled into sheets, and is mainly used in waterproofing projects such as houses, basements, tunnels, bridges, etc.
Its main features are excellent waterproof performance, high tensile strength, and can effectively prevent water penetration and leakage.
Its advantages are convenient construction, large-area paving, strong adhesion, aging resistance, corrosion resistance, and adaptability to different climatic conditions; in addition, the service life of the waterproofing membrane is long.
Its disadvantages are that professional technology is required during construction, and strict base treatment and overlap treatment are required, otherwise, there is a risk of leakage; some waterproofing membranes are expensive, and multiple layers of protection may be required under extreme conditions to ensure waterproofing effect.
Wood-plastic wallboard
Wood-plastic wallboard is a wall decoration material made of wood powder and plastic. It has the natural texture of wood and the durable characteristics of plastic. It is widely used in indoor and outdoor wall decoration.
Its main features are environmental protection, waterproof, anti-corrosion, insect-proof, high strength, and good stability.
This decorative profile has a beautiful appearance, wood grain, and texture, strong weather resistance, not easy to deform or crack due to moisture, simple maintenance, and long service life. Wood-plastic wallboard also has good sound insulation and heat preservation properties. It is a multifunctional and high-performance decorative material.
Compared with traditional solid wood wallboards, wood-plastic wallboards are slightly inferior in air permeability and natural feel, and the price is usually higher; professional tools and techniques are required during installation to ensure firmness and beauty.
Ceramic tile
Ceramic tile is a wall and floor decoration material made of natural materials such as clay and quartz sand. It is widely used in various building spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, and living rooms.
Its main features are high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, waterproofness, fire resistance, and easy cleaning and maintenance. The surface of ceramic tiles is usually glazed, with rich colors and diverse patterns, which can meet the decoration needs of different styles.
It has high strength, is not easy to deform, and has a long service life. It is suitable for environments with large traffic and high humidity; at the same time, the smooth surface of ceramic tiles is conducive to preventing bacterial growth.
Its disadvantages are that ceramic tiles are hard in texture and feel cold on the feet. Auxiliary equipment such as floor heating may be required when used in winter; in addition, installation and cutting require professional tools and techniques, and the construction process is complicated and the cost is high.
Close windows in time during humid weather
The simplest way to prevent the wall from getting damp is to close the windows in time to prevent humid air from entering the room, especially in humid weather.
In addition, the air humidity is also relatively high in the morning and evening every day, and you can also choose to close the windows according to the actual situation to prevent the wall from getting damp.
Use desiccant and other products to absorb moisture
Of course, you can also put some desiccant, moisture-absorbing boxes, and other supplies at home. Using these products can reduce the humidity in the home to a certain extent.
Use a dehumidifier
When the air is humid, you can also use a dehumidifier to remove moisture from the room.
Check and remove moisture from the wall in time
When the weather is humid, check the moisture on the walls of your home regularly. If you find condensed moisture on the wall, you should take timely countermeasures, such as using a dry rag, dehumidifier, air conditioner, etc. to absorb the moisture from the wall.
