Nowadays, more and more people are being cautious when choosing paints for home decoration. They are concerned that the quality of the paint they purchase might be poor, which could affect the appearance of the walls or even pollute indoor air. However, many consumers who aren’t very familiar with paint products often have some common misconceptions during the selection process.

First Misconception: Anti-crack Paint is Actually Crack-Proof

Wall cracking is a common issue, whether in old or new homes. Many people believe that using "anti-crack" paint will completely prevent cracks. In reality, this is not entirely true. A thin layer of paint cannot stop walls from cracking. Most elastic latex paints on the market can only cover minor cracks up to 0.3 mm in size. If the wall is already cracked, it's better to use a filler or cement to fix the cracks before painting.

Second Misconception: Overworrying About Paint’s Environmental Safety

As health awareness increases, many people associate paint with indoor pollution. They think paint contains harmful substances like formaldehyde, benzene, and VOCs. However, this concern is often unnecessary. Today, many paints meet high safety standards, and most are water-based, which produce fewer harmful emissions. As a result, they are much safer for human health and help reduce indoor pollution effectively.

Third Misconception: Overemphasizing Brand Names

Many homeowners assume that buying well-known brands means better quality. While reputable brands do offer reliability, blindly following brand names isn't always the best choice. In fact, the performance of many mid-range brands is comparable to that of top-tier brands, but at a more affordable price. When selecting paint, it's wise to research different brands, their quality, and customer reviews before making a decision.

Fourth Misconception: Buying Too Much Paint

Some homeowners are afraid of buying too little paint and end up purchasing large quantities upfront. This leads to waste and unnecessary costs. Excess paint can also pose safety risks on construction sites. It’s important to calculate the area you need to paint first and buy enough materials—usually 10%-15% more than estimated—to avoid re-purchasing and minimize waste.
