Customized furniture into the home indoor formaldehyde exceeds the standard who? (Photos)

Many people think that the plate is the source of indoor air formaldehyde, but it is not. Sometimes even if the board is qualified, the inferior materials such as glue will produce residual and release of harmful substances such as formaldehyde.

Everyone's cabinets need to be customized. What kind of plates are used in the cabinet, whether the formaldehyde emission is qualified, whether the internal pattern design is reasonable, whether there is a large amount of plate stacking... Consumers should pay special attention to these when purchasing. problem

Customized products are very common during the renovation process, especially in the bedroom. Solid wood composite doors, panel furniture, plus reinforced or engineered wood flooring, a large amount of formaldehyde will be gathered in a limited space. After the furniture enters the market, the consumer should open the door in time, or place the activated carbon bag and keep the room ventilated.

More and more consumers choose furniture that can be customized according to the decoration process, but without exception, a large number of plates will be used. The sellers said that their plates are environmentally friendly. After the furniture is installed, the formaldehyde content in the test room is always exceeded. Who is responsible for the indoor air pollution caused by custom furniture? What should consumers do?

Plate inspection and air detection data conversion is not uniform

The panels for custom furniture are clearly marked as “E0-compliant environmental standards”. Why is it always unqualified to test the air at home? Are the standards of E0, E1, F★★★★ not reliable? In the interview, “Beijing Youth Daily·Guangsha Times” found that some industry experts felt “very headache” for the current standards, not to mention the various introductions that consumers heard while visiting the market.

Still should be popularized first. Class E is a general term for defining the formaldehyde content of plates in the world, and the standard system is also perfect. Taking the floor test as an example, the detection area is 180cm2, surrounded by aluminum foil, leaving only the surface exposed. Under the condition of room temperature, the emission of formaldehyde in accordance with European standard E1 should be 1.5mg/L, and the emission of E2 formaldehyde should be 5.0mg/L; Japan's JAS standard is a guideline for formaldehyde emission from wood-based panels and their products. It is still based on the floor. The inspection area is 1800cm2. Edge sealing is not allowed. When the water bath temperature is 65±2°C, it conforms to F★★★★. The amount of formaldehyde released should be 0.3mg/L, F★★★ is 0.5mg/L, F★★ is 1.5mg/L, F★5.0mg/L. However, China's standard system is based on Europe and Japan. Therefore, E0 is China's stricter formaldehyde emission standard, 0.5 mg/L, which was officially implemented in 2008. Among the various standards mentioned above, E1 is a national mandatory “safety standard line”.

But indoor air testing standards are another matter. The civil indoor pollution control code GB50325-2001 for civil construction shows that the formaldehyde emission of a type of civil construction project is 0.08mg/m3.

In the case of plate inspection in mg/L, the air is detected in mg/m3, and the data of two units are not uniform, which is difficult to convert. Taking the plates sold in Beijing as an example, the board acceptance is usually no problem, but the decoration is completed. After the furniture enters the market, the air quality is detected again. If the consumers are confused, they will ignore their respective units of measurement. The data of big and small is even more ugly.

Environmentally friendly decoration and environmentally friendly home are two different things

All of them are environmentally friendly materials that meet the standards of formaldehyde. How can they be over-standard when they are placed at home? Xu Guozhong, president of the Million Home Supervision Company, which has been engaged in the home improvement industry for many years, reminds consumers that environmental protection and environmental protection are two concepts. Don't be confused.

Environmental protection decoration refers to the decoration and decoration part, that is, after the decoration is completed, the indoor air is tested according to national standards to determine whether the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard. The environmentally friendly home includes the furniture and accessories of the later period, which is another round of "formaldehyde bombing" after the decoration. Furniture such as wardrobes, sofas, and other custom-made products such as cabinets and tatami, as well as curtain fabrics, which look beautiful, may add to the original "environmental decoration".

Re-friendly plates with inferior accessories are also no good

Consumers who are too self-selective may lead to home improvement not environmentally friendly

Whether it is home improvement companies, home improvement guerrillas, or consumers, they want the entire home environment to be environmentally friendly, including home improvement and home accessories. Many companies that do overall home improvement will have more experience. At the beginning, they will be configured according to the standards of environmentally friendly homes. From material selection to construction technology, all aspects will be checked. But many consumers who are looking for a decoration team may not be so professional.

At present, the most common way of home decoration on the market may be that consumers purchase their own main materials, and the construction unit provides engineering and accessories. Even if a decoration company is chosen, a considerable part of the main materials may be purchased by the consumers themselves. In this case, even if the home improvement company did the data calculation of the environmentally-friendly home improvement at the beginning, it would lead to uncontrollable operation level.

Give a simple example. There are many kinds of home improvement materials, and the price gap is large. It is inevitable that a company that is not reliable will inevitably hang a consumer on the material, but if you choose the substrate for your own money, whether it is E0 grade or counterfeit E0 Level, consumers are actually hard to distinguish. Too strong autonomy and too much luck are sometimes not a good thing. If consumers who don't know how to do it are not in the formal building materials store to choose a guaranteed brand building materials, then to ensure that the home improvement company's reasonable profit range, let the professional things to the professional people to do it.

The board may be environmentally friendly, but it should be noted that the sheet being tested may be unsealed. Many times, even if the board is qualified, the accessories such as edge banding and glue are not used well, and formaldehyde will be produced in the subsequent production process. To a certain extent, this is why the formaldehyde-compliant plates will become formaldehyde after they become furniture.

In the process of visiting the market, "Guangsha Times" learned that custom-made furniture with better reputation among consumers usually adopts a full set of imported configurations. For example, Feimei Furniture uses German EGGER board, the top 100 custom-made selection of Austrian Cairnde board, the edge banding has chosen German Ruihao, in the use of glue, Germany Henkel hot melt adhesive and Japan Aike cold glue is also Food grade safety glue.

Even the most "advanced" configuration of such panel furniture may have more or less "building materials" that are difficult to avoid. If you need to disperse the taste, don't mention those "low-spending".

Therefore, when consumers purchase custom furniture, in addition to care about the material of the substrate, the thickness of the board, the design process, etc., it is also necessary to ask for details of the accessories such as edge sealing and glue, and encounter inferior materials with “unknown roads”. Good plates are also no good.

Reasonable design to reduce the amount of sheet material so that formaldehyde can be less or less

Since it is customized, it must be satisfied with a variety of individual needs such as aesthetics and practicality. There is one more cabinet here, there are several shelves and there are more plates. When the quantity is too large, the formaldehyde content in the limited space is naturally easy to exceed the standard.

Wang Qingchang, director of Feimei Furniture Design, who has been engaged in custom furniture design for many years, told us that customization does not mean that the use of plates is large. Practical custom furniture is not based on the stacking and flooding of plates. For example, custom wardrobes, if the space is enough, hanging clothes is actually more troublesome than stacking clothes, not only does not love pleats, it is more convenient to identify and pick and place. Such a wardrobe can only be solved by installing a clothes rail in a reasonable space, and it is not necessary to add a shelf for 40cm, and a drawer for 30cm. In this way, not only the amount of sheet material used is small, but also the customization cost is reduced, and the formaldehyde content in the same space is also reduced.

Therefore, a reasonable custom furniture design requires the designer to stand at the consumer's point of view and design according to his life and usage habits, to be more convenient to use rather than to make the space more cumbersome.

Of course, in addition to the furniture design, there is also a particular emphasis on the overall home decoration design. Xu Guozhong, who has done home improvement supervision for thousands of consumers in Beijing, shared with us years of experience: usually a house decoration, in the hallway corridor, living room, kitchen, bathroom, balcony, try to use tiles, basically no pollution; If the bedroom is covered with laminate flooring or parquet, it is best to have solid wood furniture; if the bedroom is also tiled, then a set of (90cm) environmentally friendly panel furniture can be placed to minimize the amount of sheet space in the space. .

The evaluation and testing links are best.

The above mentioned how the overall home improvement is matched, which led to a link that was overlooked by many people in the home improvement process - environmental pre-assessment.

Traditional furniture brands and large-scale home improvement companies have had a very specific concept of environmental protection after years of market experience. They also attach great importance to environmental protection and will make an estimate in the actual operation. Many new brands that emerged in the later period, especially the free trades that were born in the Internet age and the “outsiders” who did not understand professional knowledge, led to environmental protection just to talk about it.

Under this circumstance, after the design process is completed, the qualified consumers can ask the experts to conduct a scientific and reasonable calculation before starting the work, evaluate the harmful gases that may be generated in each room, predict how many pollution sources will be in the house, and effectively avoid them in advance. Especially for bedrooms, children's rooms and other spaces. After the environmental pre-assessment, the construction process and the post-soft installation are best carried out in strict accordance with the plan. If conditions permit, it is best to get a report for each material and use the data to control the project.

At the same time, the inspection after the renovation is also essential. The inspection of environmental protection decoration is done after the hard work is completed, and many consumers generally reflect the excessive formaldehyde, most of which appears after the furniture enters the market. So what should I do?

Professionals remind consumers that they can clear furniture into other houses, measure the air quality of a certain room, and use the exclusion method to determine which furniture in which room is causing environmental pollution. Usually this method can be determined. Which products contain excessive formaldehyde.

In addition, consumers should also understand that not only the plates used in custom-made furniture, but also in the process of home decoration, the rubber products (hot melt glue, glass glue, etc.) include putty and also contain certain components of formaldehyde. In addition, wall paint, laminate flooring, parquet, bamboo flooring, solid wood composite doors... will produce residuals and releases of harmful substances such as formaldehyde, which should be paid attention to during the purchase or inspection process. Fabric sofas, leather sofas and other furniture, soft curtains, carpets and other textiles also have hidden dangers.

Everyone knows that formaldehyde is released slowly. Maybe during the second renovation, the last formaldehyde has not been released. Whether it is decoration, or the air pollution caused by custom furniture, it is difficult to avoid, and these may not be attributed to a certain craft or a certain kind of furniture. From selection to construction, from purchase to use, every link is related to health, so don't make do.
