Netizen Miss Xia recently encountered a confusing thing when buying solid wood composite flooring: several kinds of flooring wood are related to "red sandalwood", but they are different, such as "red sandalwood" and "nanyang red sandalwood" , "red sandalwood", "red sandalwood" and so on. The salesperson could not explain clearly, she hoped that the experts could help her answer the doubts in her heart.
Similar phenomena are not uncommon in the market. Experts say that these are the non-standard names of wood. In order to self-lift their prices, many wood labels for furniture and flooring are often “climbing with dragonsâ€. Consumers need to pay more attention when purchasing. I bought a bargain at a high price.

Commonly known as mixed name is still more common
As early as the end of 2009, the market has been rectified for the problem of non-standard names on the market. Since then, the market has been relatively standardized. Brand merchants will mark the surface and substrate materials of the floor, but Xiaobian Recently, I visited the market and found that some brand players are still playing "word games."
In a brand store, Xiaobian visited a number of floor stores as consumers. Xiaobian saw that most brand sellers will fill in the core material and surface material according to the uniform price requirements of the store. However, in the face material, there are also some businesses that only identify "common name."
In a flooring store, many woods were found to be familiar with names such as “Huanghua Pearâ€, “Red Chicken Wings†and “Red Tanâ€. Xiaobian consulted "Red Chicken Wings" what kind of wood, the salesman said, "is African chicken wing wood." On the brand's product leaflet, Xiaobian also saw different wood names such as “coffee black wingsâ€, “African chicken wingsâ€, “classic red wings†and “red chicken wingsâ€. From the picture point of view, these wood patterns Some are similar and the colors are different. The other two woods with similar colors are “red sandalwood†and “small red sandalwoodâ€, while “nanyang red sandalwood†and “dand sandalwood†appear in another brand floor store.
The doubts have been confirmed by experts in the industry. These “names†on the price tag and the product list are “common namesâ€, which are “non-standard namesâ€, and some “even the common name is not countedâ€, which is “business creationâ€. of".
Self-lifting price has a high trick
Some merchants will identify the canonical name of the wood, but in addition to the ordinary "榆木", "柞木" floor, the wood name of most products is more or less prefixed, and with the prefix, the wood looks "noble" a lot. . Some merchants have added a lot of modifiers to the flooring category, such as "dark rosewood oak", "walnut red oak", "chicken wing wood white oak", etc., adding a lot of "precious" colors to ordinary oak. More merchants added the origin and adjectives in front of the wood to blur the wood itself. Take a brand of "Teak" series as an example, "African teak", "Mediterranean teak", "Aristocratic teak", "rich teak", "Pomelo king", "Yellow teak"... a wide variety of people are suspicious: Are these all teak? Is there a difference? At the time of purchase, consumers can only listen to the salesperson's commentary. There are also some merchants that have indicated the series to the product, such as Penn Sunshine ×××, Emperor's Wind×××, Pearl White×××, Royal Classic×××, etc., which adds difficulty to the consumer's identification.
As consumers who do not have the expertise of wood, they generally cannot tell which one is "common name" and which one is "scientific name". Is there any way to distinguish it? Sun Shudong said that some of the wood's scientific names are translated from Latin. Relatively speaking, "more strange." In addition, if the name given to the wood by the merchant is "country, place name or color", then the consumer is best to ask what the standard name of the wood is.
In order to avoid confusion when problems arise, experts recommend that consumers require merchants to write the canonical name in the contract, write the Latin terminology of wood (international common name) or follow the "China's main timber name" standard and "China's main imported wood name" The Chinese name specified in the standard is used to protect the rights and interests of the material due to disputes.
Purchase vigilance risk
Why do businesses not use the standard name of wood? Sun Shudong, director of the Furniture Inspection Office of the National Furniture and Indoor Environmental Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, said, “In the 1980s and 1990s, due to the inability of domestic timber to meet the needs of domestic production, many woods from Africa Imported in Latin America, Southeast Asia, etc. Some of them are wood that are not available in China. At the time, there were no relevant regulations. Some merchants used various similarities according to the similarity between the pattern and the existing wood.†It is understood that consumers are Some of the various names seen in the market belong to the common name used nowadays, while others belong to the merchants "taken for the concept of speculation", so the situation of labeling irregularities and confusing to confuse the audiovisual does happen from time to time. This also brings certain risks to the purchase of consumers.
Imposter
Because the name is commonly used or the name of the merchant, the consumers themselves have no way to distinguish the authenticity of the materials. In addition, consumers are more vigilant that some bad businesses will make similar wood in a similar name. The floor or furniture is sold to consumers at a high price, such as the southwest birch is confused with the cherry wood by the name of “domestic cherry wood†or “cherry woodâ€; and the furniture material with a price of 20,000 yuan or 30,000 yuan is “belonging to the rosewoodâ€. "African Pear", but "African Pear" is not a canonical name. It can only rely on tree species identification to identify identity. Whether it is a rosewood is not known.
2. With false realities
"Because of the common name, it also gives some opportunities for wood to be fake." The common name of Oakwood from Africa is "Red Walnut", and some people call it "Peach Blossom." Some merchants will also refer to the "human face" and "cano paint" with similar colors as "walnut" to achieve the purpose of "fake the real thing."
3. Transfer flowers
In addition, the precision of the name is not negligible to consumers. Generally speaking, "walnut" corresponds to "black walnut", while the domestic name of "eucalyptus" should be "walnut" or "walnut". If consumers buy "black walnut", they must not ignore the word "black", otherwise they may change from "black walnut" to "eucalyptus". In addition, "rubber wood" and "oak" are only one word difference, and some salesmen will be vaguely introduced during sales. Consumers need to be wary of "small flowers."
