House is a topic that everyone is very concerned about. Most young people work hard just to be able to buy a house so that they can have a home of their own.

Not only the inside of the house needs to be decorated, but also the outside of the house needs to be decorated. Among them, whether it is better to tile or paint the exterior wall has become a matter of hesitation for people.

Is it better to lay tiles or paint on the exterior wall?

In my opinion, paint is better. The construction of exterior wall paint is simple and convenient, and it is cheaper and more affordable than ceramic tiles.

(1) It has good decorative properties. The paint has rich colors, diversified choices, good color retention, and can maintain good decorative properties for a long time.

(2) Good water resistance. Exterior walls are exposed to the atmosphere for a long time and are often washed away by rain. Some waterproof exterior wall coatings have better water resistance. When small cracks occur on the base wall, the coating can still have a waterproof function.

(3) Contamination resistance. When dust and other substances in the atmosphere contaminate the coating, the coating will lose its original aesthetic effect. The coating is not easily contaminated by these substances or is easy to clean after contamination.

(4) Good weather resistance. Coatings exposed to the atmosphere must withstand the effects of sunlight, rain, wind and sand, and changes in heat and cold. Under the repeated action of these factors, ceramic tiles will crack, peel, depowder, change color, etc. The coating has good weather resistance.

(5) Scrub resistance. If the exterior wall coating is exposed to poor air quality for a long time, it is easy to stain and lose its beautiful decorative effect. Therefore, it must be cleaned frequently and the original decorative effect can be maintained after scrubbing. The coating has good scrub resistance.

(6) Good alkali resistance. Construction projects have strict requirements on the construction period. The maintenance time of the base layer before coating construction generally does not meet the standard requirements. The new cement base layer is highly alkaline. After the ceramic tiles are installed, it is very easy to return to alkalinity. Alkaline substances adhere to the coating. Alkali resistance is better.
