1, tree species and origin differences
First of all, we should pay attention to the problem of counterfeit tree names, that is, the tree names indicated in the goods do not match the identification results, and most of them are shoddy, such as using birch as maple (maple) and Manglietia as teak. , leading to misleading consumers (see the list of common tree species names and misleading market names in the previous part), and the true and false prices are naturally not comparable. In addition, because wood is a natural product, the quality and price of the same kind of wood produced in different places are also different, such as teak, which is produced in Indonesia and Africa, but the quality produced in Myanmar is the best and the price is higher; Compared with Impatiens cajan produced in Brazil, Impatiens produced in Paraguay have stronger fragrance and brighter colors. These differences will eventually be reflected in the price, so pay attention to screening when buying, and don't be confused by the low price.
2, the difference of processing technology
Flooring needs to go through dozens of processes in the process of processing. Some processes can be seen directly in the product, while others can't, but it is very helpful to improve the quality. These all need a certain price, for example, the reasonable health care of the blank needs to occupy a lot of money, and the six-sided sealing process will also increase the cost, especially the products produced by some new technologies and imported equipment. For example, the cost of painting with imported paint or paraffin oil is relatively higher, which will eventually lead to different costs.
3. Differences in natural defects
Because solid wood flooring is a natural product, there must be natural defects. In general, the fewer natural defects, the higher the grade and the higher the price. But in fact, with the actual production level of China's wood flooring industry at present, there are very few flooring enterprises that can really produce the quality standards of superior products, and most of them are qualified products or first-class products. Therefore, we should pay attention to the problem of pseudo-scale. Some manufacturers often name their products as excellent products or AAA, but they can't reach them at all.
4. Specification differences
Unusual floors are usually relatively low in price, but in fact they are mostly processed products, such as replacing a big board with a small board or scraps. When buying a floor with unusual specifications, the biggest fear is that there are problems in a small area of the floor, and it is difficult to match the floor with the same specifications in the market. If you want to repair it completely, you must remove or replace all the materials.
5. The difference between true color, color modification and coloring
At present, the painted solid wood flooring sold on the market is rarely natural in the strict sense. General manufacturers will slightly modify the color from the perspective of reducing chromatic aberration and icing on the cake to make the wood grain clearer and more thorough, which is not a bad thing from the consumer's point of view. Those floors with darker colors are much cheaper than those with the same material, and are usually made of relatively cheap inferior materials, such as two-color sapwood and deadwood, by re-coloring.
6. Selling the mystery of the floor.
Some "special price" and "low price" floor prices look really attractive, but in fact they are some defective or shoddy products. Once there is a problem, when the consumer proposes to return the goods, the other party will always refuse on the grounds that the special goods will not be returned.
7, the mystery of low-cost installation
Many flooring companies provide laying services at the same time, which is a good thing to reduce after-sales disputes. However, if some of them are free, you should be careful. On the surface, consumers have benefited, but in fact, it is very likely that the bad floor was sawed off by laying, which increased the loss of the floor in vain.
