Recently, when I visited various building materials shopping malls, I found that although the promotion season has passed, the market price war is still fierce, and among the many flooring categories, a kind of tree called “oak floor†has attracted the attention of the author because They are all oak, but they are labeled with "Oak", "Red Oak", "White Oak", etc., and they are also produced in various places, such as Europe, France, the United States... so many oaks, which are the real high quality oak. What? Can consumers tell the difference?
A wide variety of oak flooring, consumers see flowers in the fog
In Red Star. Macalline, the author randomly interviewed several consumers who are picking the floor. When asked if they know the material of the floor, several consumers all spit the water without exception. Ms. Chen said that because the children in the family are still small, considering the health problems, solid wood flooring has become their first choice, but they have no choice but to choose what kind of solid wood flooring, because they usually do not pay much attention to such things as building materials. The things of the class, almost no knowledge of the material, quality and brand of the floor, are afraid of being cheated.
When the author asked if she saw a solid wood floor marked "Oak", Ms. Chen immediately got excited. She said that she did see oak flooring in several brands and she liked the texture of oak very much, but she After visiting the building materials market, I was surprised to find that the introduction of many brands of oak is different. The origin, texture, density, etc., even the prices vary widely, ranging from 200 yuan to more than 1,000 yuan, which makes her very Confused, I don't know which one is the real oak, which kind of oak is the best.
There are not many consumers who are confused by Ms. Chen. Among the dozen consumers surveyed by the author, 7 said they have seen oak, but ask which oak is a better material, but no one can answer Come up. One of them, Mr. Li, said that the clerk said that he was the best, and the consumer could not know the truth. The author immediately investigated the brands and found that, as the consumers said, there are many kinds of oak products, including European oak, American oak and even Chinese oak. In the classification, the clerk knows that there are white peony, red peony and cockroaches. Wood, flower buds, etc., are called oak. When the author asked the clerk about the quality of the oak, almost all the shopping guides said that their oak is authentic oak, which is the best in quality and material, which makes you really difficult to distinguish.
Oak market messy experts urge consumers to be wary of ordinary oak filled with red oak
The author then consulted the relevant experts of the Forestry University on the issue of oak. According to experts, oak, which is a genus of genus, has a wide variety of genus. More than 600 species have been verified, but high-quality varieties are extremely rare. Due to the influence of American and European cultures, domestic consumers, especially high-end consumers, have a special preference for oak. Oak has gradually become synonymous with high-end furniture quality, taste and honor, and sales are increasing.
However, experts stressed that this has also led to blind consumption in the domestic market. Furniture, flooring and other manufacturing companies often emphasize the goodness of their own varieties in propaganda, but vague in the connotation of materials, leading consumers to see the flowers in the fog, the market has once appeared in rubber wood instead The phenomenon of oak fraud, the rubber wood is the eucalyptus wood, which is the aging material for the production of rubber rubber trees. Its material is very poor, but after a certain chemical hardening, it can also be used for furniture, flooring, etc., but not with oak at all. Grade.
When the author asked which type of oak is the best quality oak, experts say that the true highest quality oak should be produced in the United States, and the American oak is distinguished by the Pennsylvania red peony (red oak). Its texture is uniform and the pattern is beautiful. It is scratch-resistant and rub-resistant. It is the best in oak and is worth a lot. However, due to the restrictions on timber exports in the United States, there are only a handful of more powerful furniture and flooring manufacturers in China that can produce such varieties in large quantities. Therefore, consumers should pay attention to the identification when buying red oak flooring, beware of the fact that individual manufacturers use ordinary oak as red oak.
Experts remind: when choosing oak products, you should see the origin, grade, and specifications.
Experts further explained that no matter how the manufacturer brags, consumers should have a steel scale in their hearts. When distinguishing the advantages and disadvantages of oak furniture or oak flooring, they should start from the origin, grade and specifications.
Experts say that in the Chinese circulation market, manufacturers generally label American red glutinous rice (American red oak), Russian eucalyptus (European oak), and Chinese eucalyptus eucalyptus as oak, and even some unscrupulous merchants put Hainan. The rubber wood produced is also named oak, but the origin label is deliberately vague or not written at all. Some merchants even mix oak with red oak, which is difficult for consumers to distinguish.
Another criterion is the grade and specification of wood. Brand companies have strict classification of wood, which has a great impact on the quality of wood products produced. At the same time, due to the influence of the yield rate, in general, the board The length, width and thickness of the face are proportional to its preciousness and the price is higher.
