Do not know the trick when buying the floor

Floor decoration is undoubtedly the highlight of home decoration. Now the solid wood lacquer boards on the market are all sold in square meters. At the same time, most sales companies are responsible for installation. Floor tricks seem simple, but they are often overlooked by the owners.

According to decoration industry experts, some floor sales companies have adopted a simple fraud method, namely, “straw” in the whole box floor. Since most wood veneer sheets are packaged in carton boxes, the owner is not able to see the wood in the carton, which gives poor salespeople an opportunity. Some salespeople took a piece out of the floor of the box and used some blinding methods when installing the floor. Unguarded owners were often killed.

Problem: The floor is equipped with "drafts"

Taking solid wood flooring as an example: If a certain industry mainly installs a floor area of ​​80 square meters, a mid-priced solid wood floor costs about 250 yuan per square meter, the total floor price is 20,000 yuan. According to the general specifications of floors currently on the market, each floor is calculated to be 0.081 square meters (0.9 meters by 0.09 meters), and each floor is approximately 20.25 yuan. If 12 boxes are contained in each box, 82 boxes of floorboards are required to install 80 square meters of floor. In the actual installation process, the “drawing” method adopted by the unscrupulous wood floor merchants is to select a number of boxes to extract a floor at random in a box of 82 boxes, that is, to convert 12 boxes from each box into 11 boxes per box. As for whether to pump 10 or 20 boxes in 82 boxes, "this depends on the degree of salesperson's black heart," the expert said with emotion.

If the above floor is drawn out of 10, it means that the owner was "stolen" more than 200 yuan in vain. With an average of 3 households per day on the floor, which is 240 square meters, floor sales businesses can “stole” more than 600 yuan each day. According to the calculation of 330 days of business each year, these unscrupulous flooring merchants can “steal” nearly 20 million yuan from the owner’s floor each year, in addition to their normal profits, and the value is equivalent to “one Passat”.

It is not difficult to see that these unscrupulous wood floor merchants secretly withdraw a certain proportion of wooden floors according to the so-called industry “convention”, undoubtedly equivalent to stealing money from the owner’s pocket.

The solution: receiving details of the number of missing

Is it easy to see through such a simple deception? The expert pointed out that in the actual decoration process, most of the owners did not even know that the thick floor of the paper box had hidden floors. The general owner will pay close attention to the floor itself before buying it, and after the price is paid and the payment is made, especially after the floor is delivered to home, he should be vigilant. The construction company who is responsible for the installation of the sales company will open the packaging of some “negative floors” that are marked in advance without the owner’s attention. As long as the carton is open, the owner will not be able to find out if there is a shortage. To take a step back, even if the owner finds that there is a missing piece of the floor of a box, the sales company's installation staff will also find a good attitude to find something like "This box is a normal defective product, immediately swap a box" and so on. past.

For unscrupulous wood floor merchants "snack board" evil acts, the connoisseur reminded consumers that the method of dismantling tricks is simple, that is, after the floor is delivered to the home, the owner disassembles a cross section of most or all of the carton. Check if you have a shortage or not. In addition, there are some floor installers who will maliciously create “losses” during the installation of the floor. After the complete floor is cut off, it is jammed into the gap between the floor and the floor. This obviously buys more floor space. Out of the installation area, but still have to increase purchases. To prevent such “black tricks”, only reputable companies can be selected or stared at the site to increase the number of owners.
