The surface of cast iron and cast copper floor drains is rough and easy to rust, and the displacement is small and the flow rate is slow; the PVC floor drain has poor anti-aging performance and is easily deformed in case of cold and heat.
16. Wallpaper, stick only one wall
Wallpaper itself and adhesives can release volatile organic compounds, so it may be used only to decorate visual spots such as TV walls and theme walls.
