Home decoration three main material selection guide

Buying building materials is a key link in the home improvement process. Many consumers are guilty of not knowing market conditions and product knowledge when choosing building materials. In fact, there is no need to worry about this, and now building materials sales have abandoned the past "promenade" promotion methods, businesses generally take the initiative to introduce consumers to how to identify product quality. Therefore, consumers can safely walk into the building materials market and feel the joy of learning in their selection.

â–  wooden floor has a pungent smell of formaldehyde

The choice of wood flooring is the focus of decorative building materials. Many consumers are puzzled by the variety of brands when they shop. Mr. Chen, general manager of Living Home Flooring Co., Ltd. introduced that flooring products are usually installed in the bedroom and other spaces, and the contact time with people is relatively long, so the selection requirements of flooring products are more stringent.

First look at the water resistance of the floor. The poor water resistance of the floor will lead to significant expansion of the floor perimeter, causing the floor to arch. Moisture content is an important factor that directly affects the dimensional stability of the flooring. Generally, the moisture content of wood flooring should be consistent with the local moisture content. In the test report, the index of water-absorption thickness expansion should be less than 10%, and 2% is generally the best.

The current consumer is the most concerned about the content of formaldehyde. Adhesives are used in engineered wood and laminate flooring, which contains a certain amount of formaldehyde, which is gradually released in the gaseous state to the surrounding environment. In order to prove that the product meets the standard of formaldehyde, some businesses will peel off the parquet or laminate flooring from the sales site, allowing consumers to check for themselves. If there is a pungent or irritating condition, the formaldehyde content is excessive.

The wear resistance of the floor is a matter of service life. According to national standards, products above 6000r are suitable for home use.

Many consumers have this feeling that the paint products look almost the same on the surface, only to the wall, how quality can be seen. For paint, how to choose as an ordinary consumer? Bauhinia paint sales Mr. Guo introduced paint paint and other building materials, but also to do some grassroots processing, so you can grasp a few major defects when buying.

First, buy a heavier package. Lift the paint bucket and shake it. If there is a crackling sound, it means that there is excess space in the bucket. The product is not enough and the viscosity is too low. The paint with good quality can hardly hear the sound when shaking the package.

Second, buy the least consumption. Consult the merchant about the number of painting times and area of ​​the paint, calculate the amount and material cost per square meter, calculate the total amount and cost, some paints use small packages, single barrels are cheaper, but only after calculating the total amount Know the usage and total cost. The low unit price often consumes a lot of money. It may be more expensive and wasteful to pay for it.

â–  Although small hardware accessories can be sloppy

The variety of hardware accessories is very wide. After sweeping through the malls, you will find that hardware accessories related to interior decoration can be roughly divided into nail wire hardware, cabinet hardware, plumbing bathroom hardware, and door and window hardware.

According to reports, the matching of the handle must be based on the style, function and location of the furniture. In general, the relationship between the handle and the furniture generally has two principles of handling, namely eye-catching or hidden. Shoe cabinets should pick single-headed handles with a color close to the board surface. Food decoration cabinets, commonly known as wine cabinets, should have a double-headed handle that is glossy and slightly contrasts with the color of the furniture.

As the hinge of the door and window hardware is the most problematic. Some doors and windows will have matching hardware accessories, and the price is naturally higher. Before buying doors and windows, consumers can look at the corresponding hardware products in the hardware counter.
