Three, the home installs a few big principles of choose and buy of building materials
Understood a few big error of building materials choose and buy, when believing owner enters building materials market choose and buy, the heart should already had bottom. But in order to create a beautiful environmentalist, also need to remember the purchase of several major principles.
1. Environmental protection principle
The pollution such as the harmful gas inside the residence, radiation exceeding bid is caused by domestic outfit material commonly. Therefore, environmental protection must be taken into account when selecting materials, and it should be put in the first place. Want to choose to pass the building materials of national environmental protection attestation, must not use the building materials that the country has been banned explicitly or eliminated, would rather not decorate or decorate less, also need not those are harmful to human body material, good decorate the first pass.
Practical principle
Decorate material not to be jumped over high-grade better, should rise with the use function union of the residence, with practical for fundamental. Material should not consider adornment effect only, and the improvement that still should consider its to residential environment condition. If the pursuit of class and choose other materials, no matter from the practical or economic point of view is not cost-effective.
3. Act according to your ability
Must consider own economic condition when deciding to decorate class, act according to one's ability. In a few won't affect whole to decorate the place of quality and effect to be able to choose a few class to have a little the material that almost, control cost appropriately. And in some key parts, such as the ground, water supply and drainage, the choice of electrical appliances should be the first with quality, consider the characteristics of easy loss to achieve a step in place, would rather spend more money also can't repair in the future. Come so, decorate cost to undertook balancing whole.
4, fire safety principle
When the choose and buy decorates the material, should pay special attention to the material fire prevention grade. Home decoration in particular the ceiling materials are easy to ignore the fire hazards. If the material used is not flame retardant, once there is a fire, decoration materials will be first lit on fire, so the roof in the kitchen and the interior wall should be used as far as possible inorganic decorative materials.
Four, understand building materials businesses common tricks
Although "have no rape not business" this words is a bit absolute, but in current building materials market, profiteer is too much, small white owner is not enough apparently. And the most effective way to deal with profiteers is to see. Look at the merchants common selection of material traps and coping methods.
1, steal beam change column
To decorate material buy, consumer cannot depress price only and forgot to prevent "change package". Some businesses make huge profits by stealing grades of materials. If you see is a first-class goods, pick up is a second-class goods. Suggest consumer must let a businessman issue normal bill when making money, mark on bill excellent article, qualified article word, appear quality problem is solved conveniently also.
Two little measures short
When buying coating, had better not be bought with bucket as a unit, because the quantity of such barrel can differ somewhat, produce error easily. Must pay attention to, the unit of measurement that different coating USES, some use kilogram, some use litre, some use gallon, still have with bucket. Consumers had better choose well-known brands and regular manufacturers of products.
3. Internal and external cooperation
The stand or fall that average consumer decorates material is layman mostly, want to be accompanied by decorate a worker to buy normally. When owner exhaustion, decorate labor union to recommend a few without loss of opportunity "credit is better" businessman, material quality there is no problem naturally, the price also makes a person satisfied, but often send the goods that come to the door to be transferred already. Little imagine, decorate a worker to still be able to get among them 5%, the kickback of 15%.
4. Mistake the fake for the real
For the average consumer, it is impossible to identify the authenticity of wood. The floor board that passes processing cannot identify wood to be planted more to consumer, reason a few illegal businessmen are planted to seek huge profits, with a few cheaper price wood is planted pretend to be rare wood is planted, use for instance "ash wood lotus" pretend to be "teak". This is the suggestion consumer had better choose the regular brand choose and buy.
Five, the home installs the building materials to choose and buy the universal application four laws
The small skill of building materials choose and buy, in addition to learning to see packing specification in case false and inferior, more important still the person of choose and buy itself has rich observation experience, this should consult through the expert and experience ceaselessly study personally.
1. Look at the packaging
Look at the packaging, look at the certificate. General regular manufacturers, no matter it is pure import or domestic in the packaging will use Chinese or Chinese and English bilingual text mark, for the packaging is all English to be careful, it is likely to be small manufacturers cheat consumers "smoke screen". Normal manufacturers in order to maintain the reputation of the use of environmental protection materials are generally in line with national regulations, and small factory behavior is difficult to ensure.
2. Smell
You can soak a small piece of wood leather in boiling water to smell if it has a stimulating taste. The building materials of green environmental protection because formaldehyde releases a quantity lower, won't smell pungent peculiar smell commonly, if the stimulation flavour that you smell is very strong, let an eye feel uncomfortable even, the base material that proves this floor contains a lot of free formaldehyde, can pollute air.
3. Ask the experts
In the purchase of some large building materials, many do not understand the price of consumers easy to be overpriced businesses. Therefore before the purchase, the suggestion first consults to know the line the relative friend, lets them to recommend.
4. Experience
Seeing much, knowing much. If want to buy gratified and satisfactory decorate material, oneself must understand to the common sense of building materials. When be like buying wooden floor, besides such as formaldehyde to release outside the index with wide knowledge such as intensity of quantity, wear-resisting, still have a number of key index such as bibulous expand rate, dimensional stability, affecting the performance of the floor likewise. Ramble building materials city more, often have the harvest that does not think of unexpectedly.
5. Shop around
Shopping around is an immutable truth. Consumer need not be displeased troublesome, had better be in the market of a few building materials that delimit beforehand look more compare price, accomplish buy the most appropriate commodity with the least money. According to experience, great majority building materials leaves the leeway of counter-offer on the basis of mark a price, everybody might as well compare the basis of the price again "cut cut" valence.
