Wuxi floor prices against the market price drop it?

At the beginning of the new year, the price of wood flooring in Wuxi floor market went up all the way due to rising prices of raw materials, transportation and labor costs. The average increase was as high as 10%. Some citizens may find that the prices of some brand-name floors have risen instead of rising when they visit building materials stores. In this regard, an industry insider who has been doing building materials business for many years told China National Building Material Network reporter that the price of wood floors that are too cheap may be "cottage floors." Some bad manufacturers can put a piece of ordinary wood into a brand of solid wood flooring in as little as five minutes.

"Dragon Phoenix" floor only sell 215 yuan?

Yesterday, the reporter saw a building material store on Xihu Road. The store had solid wood floors such as “Longan”, “Long Feng Tan” and “Disc Bean”. The cheapest “Zan Long Yan” floor price was 220 yuan. Prices are about 300 yuan. Reporter's excuse of “expensive” is about to leave, but the boss greeted the reporter and said: “There is also cheaper.” Subsequently, the shop owner took a reporter to a row of special area, the reporter saw a marked "Dragon Phoenix" floor Actually only sell 215 yuan. A special "Zhao Longyan" is only 190 yuan. When reporters asked why the same floor price was so much different? The boss told reporters bluntly that these floors were processed. He pointed to the special "Long Feng Tan" floor told reporters that his home authentic "Long Feng Tan" floor production is Shanghai and Shenzhen, but this "Dragon Phoenix Tan" floor from Zhejiang, is after reprocessing. What is the wood is not clear, but it looks exactly the same as "Dragon and Phoenix". If the map is cheap, it can be used and the quality is not bad.

Inferior wood avatar quality solid wood flooring

What happened to the processing in the shop owner's mouth? Mr. Zhang (a pseudonym), an industry insider who has been doing flooring business for many years, told reporters that the “dressing” in the shop owner's mouth has many ways. The most common one is “transfer”. In simple terms, "transfer" is to put a layer of plaster putty on the b-level board (the wood board with inferior quality), and then use computer technology to print the pattern of the wood board that the manufacturer wants, and finally paint. The entire process takes only about 5 minutes. A Class B board can be converted into any desired solid wood floor. “This kind of fancy wood has huge profit margins.” Mr. Zhang said that this processing method only costs 5 yuan per square meter, and the wood before processing is generally of poor quality and even wood with insect eyes. The cost is not even 100 yuan. After processing, it became a high-priced flooring that was priced between RMB 300 and RMB 700. The laymen's consumers were difficult to identify with the naked eye. Some conscience shopkeepers will mark the floor after processing as being "transferred," but some bad stores will directly sell the cottage floor as the series of high-quality solid wood flooring.

In addition to the "transfer" floor, some manufacturers will also carry out the floor veneer, such as the market to sell better garden beans material flooring, the market price of 295 yuan, but some businesses only sell 248 yuan, the lowest 218 Yuan can buy it. "A lot of these low-priced 'disk wood' floors are spliced," Mr. Zhang told reporters. Some unscrupulous manufacturers will affix a class a "disc bean" with the basic material of the b-class "disc bean." The skin to impersonate a class of "disc bean" floor.

Observe the texture, color to distinguish the floor authenticity

The reporter then learned that "laying" flooring or "transfer" flooring is only a kind of floor making process in the industry, but some unscrupulous merchants have deliberately misled consumers by using this "reworked" floor as a bad competitive means.

How can we identify whether the floor is a "cottage floor"? A general manager of a wood industry told the reporter that one of the most important ways to distinguish the “cottage floor” is to see if the six-faced wood grain is the same. He said that when consumers purchase floors, they must not only look at the surface, but must see whether the texture and color of the six surfaces are the same. Because counterfeiters consider the issue of cost, they will not make false appearances on all six sides. Lighters can also be used to identify the transfer floor. In general, due to the application of a layer of “plaster” on the printed board of the transfer floor, the paint will have poor adhesion. Once you use the flame of a lighter to bake the floor, the printed floor is easily stripped of paint, and normal floors will not have this condition.
