There is no uniform standard for cabinet doors and the market is chaotic

Market Status: Cabinet Door Names Multiple Salesmen's Arguments In different days, the author visited a number of stores in the capital and found that the cabinet door names are rather fancy, in addition to the traditional “wood panel”, “paint board”, “molded board”, There are "metal plates", "crystal plates", "carbon plate", "super crystal plate", "crystal plate" and a bunch of "nouns", and all claim to use high-tech.

In a shopping mall, Hao Jiayi cabinet salesman introduced the type of door to the Jinghua Times reporter: “carbon light board” uses a liquid instant curing technology, which is not only beautiful in appearance but also better in abrasion resistance; It is a kind of UV paint, and it uses UV technology. It is wear-resistant and crash-resistant. It is better than ordinary paint door. The author also found on the Internet, a UV board manufacturer also claims that UV technology has a certain antibacterial effect.

In addition to the traditional solid wood panels and molded plates, the author also “sees knowledge” to more cabinet door panels: crystal plates, super-crystal plates, metal plates... “We used this technology... Plates... "Although the salesman introduced a lot, but the author is still confused, in addition to appearance differences, it is not clear what their material is, what the difference in performance in the end.

Even if it is a traditional paint board, salesmen have many different opinions. A salesman said: "We use BMW paint, and the quality is very good." The European salesman said, "We use piano paint and have passed more than 20 baking steps." "A lot of cabinet manufacturers say that they use good lacquer, but it is possible to use ordinary metal lacquer, and the difference is great. It is not as good as piano lacquer. Moreover, they do not have a baking oven at all, and they can't make real lacquer." ”

The author understands that as long as special technologies or materials are used, the price of door panels is generally relatively high.

Consumers: Don't create high-priced concepts. People face so many names. How do consumers feel, and what choices do they make? Consumers interviewed by the Jinghua Times reporter generally stated that the concept is so much that they feel dizzy. The salesman's statement is even more unclear. Therefore, they still choose to trust their friends' experience.

Mr. Wang, who is visiting the store, could not believe the salesman's statement. "What carbon plates and metal plates, to tell the truth I haven't figured out for a long time." In the face of so many new technologies, he said: "New technologies and new materials may be very good, but with caution, I still choose to be relatively The more familiar technology and materials.” Mr. Wang said he is more concerned about product performance and environmental protection, more willing to believe that the big brands, and hope to provide detailed instructions. "If the cabinets can provide instructions, and there is material and performance in the manual, I think it is acceptable."

Faced with many names, explaining the phenomenon of chaos, Ms. Pang said that this is normal, and now businesses like to create concepts for sales, but it is likely that the new bottle of old wine, product updates can not be so fast. "The concept of manufacturing does not matter, but don't use this to sell people at high prices." Because she can't tell if she is being ridiculed, Ms. Pang said that if she chooses what she has heard, she will feel more confident and not a product of concept, and will also decorate it. People ask for advice. "If the price is high, then it is a new material, it must be vigilant."

Ms. Wu, a consumer, said that she hopes to have some certificates or related certificates to protect himself. “For example, you use piano paint for this kitchen cabinet paint door and it has very good abrasion resistance. Is there any relevant material certificate indicating that this is indeed true? If this is the case, I’ll be more comfortable with this choice. But it doesn't seem to be on the market, so I was dizzy and I don't know who to trust."

According to the industry, there is no uniform standard at present. The author has learned that in the current cabinet standards, there are more regulations on the formaldehyde emission of cabinet materials, the mechanical properties of the cabinet, fire resistance, and the surface wear resistance, but There are no standards concerning the specific classification or name of cabinet door panels.

Yang Wensheng, an industry insider who has been engaged in cabinet production for a long time, introduced that, besides solid wood panels, the substrate of the cabinet door panels is particle board. The main difference lies in the change of surface decoration materials. He said that with the development of technology, these surface decoration technologies and materials have also been upgraded and changed very quickly, and it is difficult to summarize them. At present, there is no standard to regulate this. For the things mentioned by consumers, such as proof, Yang Wensheng explained that due to the current inconsistency of various door panel materials, there is no specific method for uniformly testing the properties of a material such as stain resistance and wear resistance. It is difficult for consumers to expect proof or publicity with data support.

Mr. Yong Yong, secretary general of the Beijing Federation of Industry & Commercial Kitchens and Chambers of Commerce, also explained that new technologies will emerge each year, new doors will appear, and some old doors will be eliminated. The standards need to have certain commonalities. It is difficult to reflect these conditions clearly and some concepts cannot be defined. Therefore, it is indeed difficult to incorporate door panels into the standard system. He also stated that, in the absence of relevant standards at the moment, businesses have their own promotional tactics, and there is indeed a situation where they can wipe the ball. For example, "piano lacquer" and "Bao Maqi" are not accurate. He introduced that paint does not have such a classification, but some kind of lacquer will be used for "piano" or "BMW", and this kind of propaganda is not accurate.

However, Yong Yong believes that although there is no national standard, there is a common saying on the door panel of a certain kind of publicity, which can be explained according to industry practice.

Many do not understand the core materials face so many concepts. Not only do consumers think that the head is big, but insiders also think that the cabinet door market is “very cluttered” and some even describe it as a “war on concepts and terms”.

Yang Wensheng believes that the door panel is only a decorative feature of the cabinet. In fact, the cabinet is a durable product. Its actual function, environmental performance, convenience and speed, and the number of opening times are all very important, and companies only do more on the surface decoration materials. The article, although it does satisfy some consumer demands from the aesthetic level, it is not beneficial in the long run.

Can the company publicize the material of the doorboard so that consumers can choose it? Yang Wensheng said that this is "somewhat difficult" for the industry.

"A lot of companies may not understand it themselves, so they dare not come out." He explained that the cabinet industry is mostly processing-oriented enterprises, does not produce core raw materials. Only when the corporate brand achieves a certain degree of study of these materials to a certain extent, can we dare to publicize the corresponding door materials. "Many companies do not actually understand the core content themselves."

For this situation, Lang Danke, director of the complaints department of the Beijing Consumers Association, said that the current market is not standardized, but companies are obliged to express materials. He said that when consumers ask, the merchant must clearly inform the material and function. If consumers require labeling, companies should also mark the contract. According to relevant regulations, if there are two or more explanations for a concept, it should eventually be implemented in accordance with the public's general understanding.

Consumer Advice In the face of such a mixed market, how should consumers choose? Industry insiders and experts also put forward their own views.

The door panels are divided into four major categories. Although there are so many nameplates on the market, they are actually summarized. There are mainly four types of door panels: solid wood door panels, paint door panels, blister door panels, and decorative door panels. Among them, metal plates, carbon plates, crystal plates, and the like belong to the veneer, but the surface treatment means are different, and the performance may bring about certain changes.

When consumers choose to remove the choice of substrate, the door more reflects the consumer's a hobby and fashion. If you choose cabinets, it is best to learn more about the big brands and see the difference in color and quality. He also suggested that, if he had no idea, he could write the salesman’s commitment into the contract and implement it in writing. If there is any problem, he can protect his rights and interests according to the relevant laws and regulations.

If you want to face more money, Yang Wensheng said that the door plate more embodies the decorative needs of cabinets. Consumers should pay more attention to the long-term usability of cabinets, such as the function of cabinets, environmental performance, and the number of opening of cabinet doors. The quality of the hardware, etc., after all, the cabinet is a durable product. As for the door panels, since the difference in the same flower color is very large, consumers can make more choices and choose the favorite colors, and then go to a number of brand stores for comparison, and finally select the brands with the right quality and price.
