Lack of floor industry standards, environmental protection has become a strong guarantee for the trust of consumers

The sales of floor accessories market currently generally include two kinds: First, consumers pay extra to purchase, can choose auxiliary materials in different materials and price, the freedom of choice is relatively large; Second, with the installation of complimentary accessories, consumers Only the color of the skirting board and buckle can be selected. There is no choice for the material.

As for the source of the accessories, taking the skirting board as an example, some brands claim that the skirting board is produced in their own factory. The brand's logo is uniformly printed on the product and is as environmentally friendly and quality as the floor it sells. However, these baseboards have not passed any certification, and merchants are unable to issue inspection reports. An imported brand floor shopping guide revealed that the skirting boards they provided were products of other manufacturers in the country. The country's skirting boards had no brand, but it was the manufacturers who purchased the goods from abroad. Some manufacturers used the image of their own brands to mark the image. He also said that there are no countries that have unified production standards such as skirting boards and floor mats. He also persuaded reporters: "Anyway, I don't need to use as much as I can. As long as I don't change my mind, the issue of environmental protection can basically be ignored.

At present, for the skirting boards and floor mats, there are indeed no relevant standards in these accessories countries, and there are many problems in the auxiliary materials market, including a large number of manufacturers, inconsistent production standards, large raw material differences, unstable product quality, shoddy consumers, and other issues. The inferior accessories not only have a short service life, but more importantly, they may cause harmful substances to exceed the standards and pollute the indoor environment. The common material of the skirting board is PVC, density fiber board, multi-layer plywood, and the like. The PVC material does not emit formaldehyde and is relatively safe. If consumers doubt the environmental protection of other materials, they can choose this directly. There are also inferior PVC skirting boards made of recycled materials on the market. Although the texture is relatively brittle and not durable, it does not pollute the environment.

The MDF baseboards should be as high in density as possible. Some low-cost, low-density baseboards are likely to exceed formaldehyde standards. The same problem can also occur with the plywood of a multi-layer plywood. When choosing this kind of skirting board, it is better to believe in the big brands, because big brands generally have their own supporting production lines, and they have strict control over the quality of accessories. Such a skirting board will be relatively safe to use. Small workshop-style factory baseboards are generally custom-made, and the purchase channels are very complicated, so the product quality is difficult to guarantee.

There is no uniform production standard for the country of the skirting board itself, but if it is a skirting board made of sheet material, it can be completely constrained by reference to the standard of the relevant board. If it is detected that the amount of formaldehyde released from the baseboard exceeds the relevant standard, then it is unacceptable. Consumers can maintain their legal rights based on test reports.

Although the quality of floor accessories in the market is uneven, and it is difficult to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages intuitively, the expert member of the China Forest Products Industry Association Wang Jun reminds consumers that as long as they grasp some principles, they can still avoid purchasing inferior accessories that are not environmentally friendly.
