Wood floor industry will welcome the market to reshuffle

In recent years, the wood floor market has ushered in a golden period with the fiery real estate industry and the increasing consumer demand for refined homes. However, due to the low threshold of entry, the wood flooring market was mixed and the quality and safety incidents were frequent.

The chaotic market model According to the reporter, in the production of multi-layer solid wood flooring, phenomena such as “blind foundry, fraudulent production, and knowing fake collection” are common. After entering the year 2000, with the promotion of the production of multi-layer solid wood flooring (also known as multi-layer laminate flooring, solid wood composite flooring), the floor entry threshold has been lowered.

Hu Zhu, who has been in the business of flooring for 15 years, told China Union Business Daily: “One million or so can open a small floor factory and it will be able to recover the cost in a year.” The survival of these small factories in addition to the production of fake brand name, but also for the brand enterprise OEM production. Now many of the major production models for brand flooring are OEMs, that is, they come out of the brand design and find a production plant. "Some companies do not have their own production lines, all products are OEM, but quality monitoring has not kept pace with, and the quality of products from different foundries is difficult to maintain the same." A large part of orders for small factories from the unknown The refined decoration business, the development of procurement staff, customizing a certain brand of products, put forward production requirements, talk about good prices, signed a processing agreement after the deal, and then the name of the famous brand of the floor to become the project owners After seeing the brand name floor. Many real estate companies or distributors do not even need to relocate their licenses. They are shipped directly to the construction site for paving. “It is OK to write an agreed-upon brand in the contract. No one checks it anyway.” Sometimes, “who has a big brand name, Whose card is posted."

It is understood that even if the development enterprise refined interior shop is certainly a real brand floor, but the floor quality is likely to be different from the market retail floor quality, the so-called "engineering board" and "retail board" difference, both quality There is a big difference. Industry experts said that the lack of supervision made the floor of these generations of processing mixed, and then derived a gray interest chain, eventually paid by the consumer, the developer selling refined decoration house, should indicate the environmental testing indicators on the purchase contract, and Responsible for the quality of all refined decoration products.

The authorities are in action, but fortunately, the actions of the quality supervision department are also accelerating, and the work of different provinces this month has been very effective. For example: Zhejiang Forest Products Quality Inspection Station has newly issued a test evaluation report. This evaluation project was entrusted by the Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision. This project is still the first time in the province. It is the result of field research and experimental instrument analysis. More than half a year, the testing target: 38 batches of 38 brands of products that were randomly selected by the wood flooring manufacturers in the province, including Shiyou, Jiusheng, Fangyuan, Gerson, etc., as well as 10 international famous brands purchased by several major building materials markets in Hangzhou. Laminated flooring, imported brands such as Bimi, Parker, Hanno, Maistel, Quickstep, Kaide, etc.; Shaanxi Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision announced on the 12th the results of wooden floor product quality supervision and inspection, and instructed the quality of the relevant cities. The technical supervision department shall, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, deal with unqualified products and enterprises in this spot check in accordance with the law; otherwise, the reporter learned from the Shanghai Building Materials Industry Association that the Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Statistics Bureau, Energy Efficiency Center, and Quality Supervision Bureaus, the Economic and Information Commission, the Energy Standards Committee and other departments will jointly draft the mandatory local standards for “energy consumption limit for solid wood composite flooring products”. We have entered the consultation phase.

Due to the main tree species applicable to the “National Standard for Solid Wood Flooring” implemented on December 1, 2009, only tree species names and wood structural features and structural maps make it difficult for quality control personnel to determine tree species, and they are often given to businesses and consumers. There was a dispute between them. To this end, from December 15, 2012, Guangxi's local standard "Standard Samples and Identification Methods for Solid Wood Flooring Wood" was formally implemented. In order to make consumers easier to understand the implementation of the standard, Guangxi Bureau of Quality Supervision also announced the standard sample photographs of solid wood flooring. The photographs are based on macroscopic maps of timber and microscopic structural maps, and 100 species of the original standard wood flooring annex. Mainly used for processing and production of solid wood flooring, species names, trade names, major producing areas, macrostructures, microstructures, and air-drying densities are described in detail. All kinds of solid wood floorings not only have standard “certificate photos”, but also "Health examination report", ordinary citizens can be more intuitively "see the figure to identify wood." When consumers purchase solid wood flooring, they can also verify the authenticity by comparing samples.

At present, there are many varieties of wood flooring on the market, and the variety of wood species is dazzling. Many friends didn't have too much energy in the decoration and didn't have much expertise to identify the quality of solid wood flooring. "It is recommended that when consumers buy wood flooring, they must first learn to look at the quality inspection report because the inside will be very clear. The number of national standard data and product data that indicate each index is so clear that the comparison can be made at a glance.Second, it is necessary to specify the product type in the contract."Regular products are accompanied by quality inspection reports, consumers are most concerned about. The amount of formaldehyde released, the degree of abrasion resistance, and the coefficient of expansion of the water-absorbing thickness can all be found in the corresponding data. It is not as complicated as it seems. "Zhang Xiaolong, an engineer at Shaanxi Forest Products Quality Inspection Station, told reporters.
