paint, with the exception of some varieties, is not suitable for use outdoors in cold regions - from temperature extremes, the coating quickly loses its appearance;
unheated summer cottages, a bathhouse, an open veranda with slate compositions are also rarely painted;
if the wall is not periodically cleaned of chalk, it looks messy;
functional coating has no decorative value;
the material is produced mainly in dark colors, which is not suitable for every interior, making the room gloomy, with excessive use;
monophonic coating can quickly get bored;
ordinary chalk is very strewed, therefore it is recommended to use special dustless pastel crayons;
