Focus on 3.15, floor "zero formaldehyde" is Arabian Nights

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for the comfort and luxury of the family environment, which also stimulates the expansion of the building materials and decoration market scale. However, after people visited the typical home improvement market in the country, they found that there are many hidden dangers behind the current home building materials industry.

Floors with uneven quality “Zero Formaldehyde” is unlikely to be the most important part of home decor for most consumers. In recent years, with the concept of environmental protection being deeply rooted in people's hearts, the floor marked with “environmental protection”, “formaldehyde-free” and “solid wood” has become a fashion and trend of decoration choices. However, through investigation, it has been learned that in addition to some major brands in the various building materials markets, small fisheries mixed with small workshops and small brands also occupy a considerable market share.

Almost all solid wood flooring, engineered wood flooring, bamboo flooring and other products have "low formaldehyde" or even "zero formaldehyde" advertising. However, when the investigators wanted to look at the product certificate, most shopping guides relied on certificates in the main store or in the decoration of the city office. Only a small number of merchants took out a copy of the certificate.

In a floor store called “European Code”, a self-professed manager of Liu’s shopping guide has been boasting how good the quality of his home’s products is. However, when asked to show the product's formaldehyde content and environmental protection index and related certifications, the manager said that their products were tested and found to be below the national standard. The test material turned out to be an inspection report for the floor tile, and the stamped seal was also the "European Code" company.

According to the shopping guide of St. Vincent's floor, some manufacturers now use the “E0” mark on their products, claiming that the product does not contain formaldehyde, but in the strict sense, “zero formaldehyde” is impossible, no matter how clean the floor process is, How much will contain some chemical substances, the key is whether its content exceeds the national standard.

The name of the floor is very diverse. It is difficult to distinguish between building materials such as floors. At the same time, an endless number of foreign names have brought consumers “endless” troubles. In the home floor store, Jiang Yang, who came to pick solid wood flooring, said: “The floor brand is really too much, and the name is even more varied. But no matter how you look, the floor surface is similar, I can't see What's the difference. After a few days the head turned dizzy and still didn't know which one to choose."

Sitting in the rest area, Zhao Jian, holding a handful of flyers in his hand, is studying repeatedly. “What African wood, Brazilian mahogany, Burmese teak, Red River birch, and Indonesian red sandalwood are called too many, I Which knows what this is all about! It's not like there's a shopping guide where Hu Hao is."

Does it mean that with a foreign name, the quality of the floor is good? The Pearl's big market, the person in charge of the natural floor, said: "There are two main names of the floor, the national standard name and business name. The national standard name is certified by the Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau. The name can be accessed online, and the business name is set by the manufacturer itself. The so-called golden wood, agate wood ... these sound like the name of the tree species, in fact, they are all taken by the floor traders themselves."

How to choose the right floor The quality of the flooring in the market is uneven and the grades are quite different. As a whole, the quality of high-end products is more secure, and there are many problems with low-grade goods.

Wu Xiang, the shopping guide for St. Vincent's floor, recommends that consumers: First of all, when buying flooring, avoid blindly following the trend, rational consumption is the most important; secondly, when salespeople are selling products, they are sure to say only that they are selling well. , This requires consumers to consider, shop around; Finally, when choosing environmentally friendly flooring, the seller must provide a test report to see if the formaldehyde content meets the standards set by the state, with particular attention to, in addition to the identification of formaldehyde In addition to the content, it depends on whether the test category is worthy of name.
