3. Get to the bottom of the inferior wood floor
It is proved by the data that the intensified wood floors, with 10 billion huge market space, are increasing with an annual rate of 20%. Good future brings the swift reproduction of the inferior wood floors, which have occupied 30% market quotient, far exceed the market occupation ratio of any normal manufacturer and become the serious trouble of the intensified wood floor industry. After public and hidden visits in the main building material markets in Xining, the reporters find that the conmanship of illegal manufacturers is becoming more and more serious.
Pseudo Wood Floors
On May 9th, the reporter steps into one shop dealing with intensified wood floors in Beishan market. After choosing one kind of intensified wood floors with 70 Yuan/square meter, the reporter asks the quality condition of the floor, the shop assistant takes out several copies of the checkup report and said: “this is the checkup report of authority organization, the badge of Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision is on it!” Before the reporter finishes reading, he just takes the report back to drawers.
One worker of Xining Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision tells the reporter that there are two types of checkup for wood floors at present: consignment inspection and supervision inspection. Consignment inspection is the manufacturers themselves to pay for it and accept it. Some illegal manufacturers use some eligible wood floors to cope with the inspection and some even to counterfeit various certificates. Therefore the checkup report can only be treated as the reference of the products for consumers.
Perpetrate a Fraud to Sell Their Floors
“You must check it clearly after buying so that you will not be cheated again. I have been cheated, the floor I want to buy is not the same brand with installed ones. I pay high buying the inferior ones.” After seeing the reporter want to buy floors, one consumer tells her experience with her good intension.
Mendacious Promise has no guarantee.
Referring to the floor, the reporter has had awkward experience. In August of last year, under introduction of a friend, the reporter bought the Yulan Brand Wood Floor in Beishan Market with worth of 2500 Yuan, at that time the shopkeeper promised to repair if there were problems. One month later, the reporter found that the plinth had raised, he contacted with the shopkeeper who then promised to come for repair. After one month, there was no one coming for repair, the reporter contacted with the shopkeeper again, while the shopkeeper just said that now was the midseason of the market, the workers for installing the wood floors were very busy, we would come when there was time. Then there were still not the workers for coming after another month. The problems have not been solved till now after tens of times.
Mr Shi, the station master of the Checkup and Supervision Station of Quality and Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision, tells the reporter that one had better go to speciality shop with brand to buy famous brand products so that the quality and after-sale service can be well guaranteed. Generally speaking, the quality is hard to be checked with eyes. There is one simple method to judge the intensified wood floors: use sand paper to abrade 50 times on the surface of the floor, then the inferior floor will be damaged and the inner fundus will appear. As for the checkup, such as standard of the formaldehyde, it can only be checked with professional checking equipment.

4. Characteristics of the timber grain floor
　 Individual visual effect and comfortable foot feeling are the utmost willingness of the consumers towards floor materials at home, while the intensified wood floor is helping people to approach this willingness. As popular products among people, the common intensified floors have been installed in common families. At the same time of reminding the consumers to keep sway from inferior intensified floors, we notice that various special intensified floors have come into the visual field of people, such as antibiosis floor of Montblanc and Hornitex and some intensified floor with added thickness. Presently, one timber grain intensified floors with their real wood appearance and feelings have absorbed more and more consumers, the reasons are that they have the effect of real wood as well as wearable and convenient characteristics.
　 Being different from the former even effect of the intensified floor surface, the timber grain intensified floor surfaces comply with the natural grain of the real wood and make the feelings of the grains be the same with the real wood without disjointing between the grains and the heave of the embossment surface, therefore the visual third dimension of real wood is brought. It is said that the timber grain floors have stirred the people when they are exhibited in Hanoverian of Germany. As the sole agent, SWEDX enterprise sells them to the market in April in-phase with the Europe.
　　 Mr. Yan Peijin, general manager of SWEDX enterprise, says that now the visual beauty of the intensified floors needs to be perfected. The visual beauty is also the visual health, which is showed in the surface technique, such as how can the intensified floors have the visual real wood feelings, the colors be clearer, more beautiful, the tinge have higher taste and the whole effect can have higher harmony. When the physical and technical index become the basic standard, the visual enjoy becomes the utmost pursuit.
　　 It is said that the timber grain floor is mainly the breakthrough of the treatment technique, that is to change the former plane printing style into three-dimensional wood grain synchronization pressing style and use numerical technology for the grain printing enhancing the direct real wood grain effect. Not all of the woods are fit for the timber grain synchronization technique. Among the limited wood styles, the products that can satisfy different consumers mainly depend on the breakthrough towards the colors made by designers. At present, wood styles that the SWEDX can provide are classical oak, natural oak, agate oak and coral red wood.
　　 When the consumers are purchasing the floors, they just can see a small piece of sample, the effect after installation is only the imaginative effect of the consumers. It is always that the whole effect after installation is not as good as the effect of the beautiful single color. As for this, the timber grain floor changes and adjusts the design of the colors. The popular whole fitment style and colors are firstly considered to decide the whole style of the products according to these factors. Every board will be treated according to the whole effect of the products assuring the whole natural feeling after installation.
　　 In addition, the timber grain floor is equipped with static soft wood cushion to assure that the feeling can approach the feeling of solid wood. The technology of fastener without adding water or glue makes the timber grain floor more natural and environmental protection.
