In the decoration process, the quality of decoration materials is crucial.
However, there are many fake decoration materials in the market, making it difficult for consumers to guard against them.
Let’s share some real decoration pitfall experiences, hoping to give a reminder to friends who are currently renovating or are about to renovate.
I just finished renovating my second house last year, and now I feel the same way when I see the pitfalls of decoration materials.
In my first house, I was young and ignorant, so I listened to the decoration company on everything. I used their so-called special putty, and after three months of drying it, the formaldehyde self-test immediately turned red. In the end, I had no choice but to remove the whole house and replace it with branded putty. I spent an extra 20,000 yuan on the inside and outside, and the move-in time was postponed for half a year. It still hurts to think about it now.
I have been through the pit of switches and sockets in the building materials market before. At that time, I saw that the prices sold at the stalls were half the price of the official stores.
I have also had trouble with the floor drain. The fake copper core is so light that the bathroom smells bad after three months of use. It smells bad when the door is opened in the summer. After replacing it with a decent brand, I have never had this problem again.
A while ago, my cousin was renovating the kitchen at home. She bought a quartz stone countertop for less than 100 yuan per meter on the cheap. Within half a year of use, it was full of scratches and could not be wiped off even if she splashed some soy sauce on it. In the end, the countertop was replaced, which made the kitchen a mess and cost a lot of money.
There was also the glass sealing the balcony. I was almost cheated, and the merchant said that I would use Sanyin Low –
E, I was hesitant about the test report but couldn’t get it out, so I decided to switch to a serious brand. In summer, the sun didn’t get too hot, and I saved a lot on air-conditioning electricity bills.
I really advise friends who are renovating not to go through big traps just to save a little money. Inspect the materials before signing for them when they arrive. Don’t buy if the merchant can’t provide authorization and test reports. After all, you and your family will live here for decades, and health is the most important thing.
During the decoration process, we may encounter various traps, such as shoddy products, fake products, etc.
These problems will not only affect the quality of decoration, but may also pose a threat to our health.
Therefore, you must be careful when choosing decoration materials.
You can choose regular building materials markets or brand stores to purchase materials, and check the product authorization certificates and test reports to ensure the quality of the materials.
At the same time, during the decoration process, we also need to learn more about decoration knowledge and improve our ability to identify.
Don’t easily believe the merchants’ propaganda, and compare the prices, quality, etc. of different brands and products.
If possible, consult a professional decorator for more advice and help.
