In the southern building materials market, a building materials store purchased the pipes used in security nets. At that time, the merchant promised that the thickness of the pipe was 0.8 mm.

Affected by the increase in raw material prices Since last year, due to the impact of price increases on wood, ceramics, copper, and iron, the prices of building materials such as wood, wood flooring, sanitary ware, and hardware have increased. However, due to fierce market competition, businesses are not Dare to arbitrarily increase prices, so secretly cut corners. The recent complaints about shrinking building materials have increased, as they have previously received complaints from consumers complaining about the shrinkage of wooden fittings.

“In the past few years, due to the impact of rising prices of raw materials, a number of commodities in the building materials market have shrunk in size.

At the time of booking, it is necessary to indicate the specifications of the building materials. The responsible person reminded that the decoration market has begun to flourish again after the Spring Festival. Many consumers started to start renovations. However, under the circumstances that many building materials are facing price pressure, consumers should focus on preventing the size of building materials from shrinking. Problems, especially when pre-ordering sanitary ware, wooden floors, tiles, cabinets, and other products, must be guarded against this situation.

What should we do in the face of this kind of situation?

First of all, when buying building materials such as tiles, wood floors, and wood that need to calculate the required area, quantity, and specifications, it is best to let the merchant indicate the size of the specifications on the shopping certificate. Second, it is best for consumers to carry tape measure, calculator, and other tools to actually measure the specific dimensions of the building materials, especially when they are accepted. Taking wood flooring as an example, the length, width, and height are clearly marked on the outer packaging, and consumers can randomly select and measure. At the same time, consumers should also pay attention to preventing merchants from providing tape measure accuracy. This has happened before the merchant tape measure was inaccurate. Finally, consumers may complain to industry and commerce, the Consumer Council, etc. in the event of shrinking building materials.
