Bamboo flooring quality domestic market is still cold

Recently, Zhang Qinli, executive deputy secretary-general of the Bamboo Industry Professional Committee of the China Forest Product Industry Association, said that at present, bamboo flooring is at a low level of consumer acceptance, mainly because early bamboo flooring has been sold to foreign countries, and manufacturers have ignored the domestic market. In the heat of the summer, what kind of hard-to-consume bamboo flooring is it?

Recently, Alibaba announced the price analysis of bamboo flooring throughout the country. According to the analysis, “Compared to floorings with large fluctuations, such as solid wood flooring and solid wood flooring, bamboo flooring can be described as calm and calm, basically not rising or falling. This also reflects from the side that China's bamboo flooring sales have been in a cold state."

According to the hot search results of “bamboo floor” keywords conducted by an organization from April 22 to July 22, the average index of bamboo flooring in Baidu search is 209, and the search rate is low within 3 months. And from a whole point of view, the search volume is relatively stable, with only small fluctuations.

Since ancient times, people in China have had a special complex about bamboo. "It would rather eat without meat and not be allowed to live without bamboo." However, this phrase does not seem to be applicable to bamboo flooring with low consumer awareness.

As for the bamboo flooring, the recent deputy secretary-general of the Bamboo Industry Committee of the China Forest Product Industry Association Zhang Qinli said that at present, bamboo flooring is at a low level of consumer acceptance, mainly because the early bamboo flooring is sold abroad. Manufacturers ignored the domestic market.

Although bamboo flooring has been available for many years, the reporter learned that when bamboo flooring appeared on the floor exhibition held in Shanghai in March last year, many consumers knew for the first time that bamboo could also be used as flooring. It can be seen that the propaganda and promotion of businesses have yet to be further strengthened.

Low awareness

The reporter saw in Lehua Meilan home decoration store in Beijing that the floor area has hundreds of kinds of materials and styles, but there are only two types of bamboo flooring. The price of more than 100 yuan a square meter, and a lot of wood flooring prices comparable, even more than a few hundred yuan a square meter of solid wood flooring to be much cheaper. But the reporter saw that many consumers who came to buy flooring, some turn a blind eye to the bamboo floor, and some will leave for a while. Although there were two consumer guides who asked about the performance of bamboo flooring, solid wood flooring was still selected.

Store shopping guide told reporters that most consumers are observing the attitude of the bamboo floor, just do not buy. They believe that bamboo is easily cracked and deformed, and the flooring used for flooring is not firm enough. Most consumers are only taking a wait-and-see attitude toward bamboo flooring.

However, bamboo flooring is not a new product. According to "I love my family network" responsible for the introduction of Mr. Sun, bamboo flooring as early as the late 1980s has appeared in our country. By 1998, the manufacturing process of bamboo flooring had gradually matured, but at the time the production was very small, only 300,000 square meters. At that time, because its technology was relatively complicated and not mature enough, there was no good solution to the problems such as service life and moisture and flood prevention. Therefore, it has not been further developed and promoted. By 2005, the output of bamboo flooring in the country had reached 30 million square meters. The issues such as moisture prevention and flood prevention that had not been well solved before had a very good solution. However, the fact is that the export market is booming and the domestic market has not yet opened up. Bamboo flooring produced in the country, about 7 Chengdu exports to foreign countries, domestic consumers are still unfamiliar with bamboo flooring.

Geothermal can also be laid

Popular among low-Carbon products, bamboo flooring can be described as one of them. Timber floors are generally decades old. However, three or four years of bamboo can be used to make flooring. Why is it that such environmental protection products have not been approved by the Chinese people for a long time?

According to Fang Chongrong, secretary general of the Zhejiang Flooring Industry Association, in the past, people felt that bamboo flooring was “cool”. Now, the production companies have developed heavy bamboo flooring, throwing away the flat pressure of bamboo, and drawing and milling bamboo. Regroup. In appearance can be comparable to solid wood flooring. In addition, the wet environment in the south is likely to make traditional bamboo flooring pests and mildew. Now it has improved the processing technology, carried out anti-corrosion treatment, and there is no such problem.

However, consumers in the North believe that there is no ground heating under the bamboo flooring, but nowadays, many northern homes choose geothermal heating.

In this regard, experts believe that bamboo flooring, high hardness, high density, good texture, therefore, its thermal conductivity, thermal stability, environmental performance, anti-deformation performance must be better than other wooden flooring. The thickness of solid wood flooring is relatively thick, so it is relatively poor in heat conduction performance, and solid wood composite flooring and bamboo flooring are the most suitable wooden flooring for geothermal heating. However, this does not mean that the bamboo flooring cannot be laid with geothermal energy. Experts say that if the moisture content is controlled within 8%, the bamboo flooring can also be covered with geothermal heat.
