At present, my country's building materials market is not standardized enough. Many fake and shoddy products are used to deceive consumers, resulting in unsatisfactory home decoration effects. Take bathroom ware as an example. The five common methods of deception are:

Brand store: LeRui Bathroom Yinjing Bathroom

1: Misappropriating trademarks to pass them off as real ones

For example, Guangdong Foshan Diamond Brand is a famous brand bathroom product that has been established for decades. Nowadays, fakes are flying everywhere and it is difficult to guard against them.

Two: Confusing grades and substituting inferior quality for good quality

This phenomenon is common in the circulation process of wall and floor tiles, stone, wood and other materials. Because ordinary consumers do not know the industry, they spend money on high-quality products, but what they buy back are second-class, third-class, or even substandard products.

Three: Pretending to avoid detection

Some companies imitate famous brands or best-selling products, use test reports and product manuals falsely, brand them with their own trademarks, and vigorously promote products that have not been tested at all.

Four: Ignoring standards and shoddy manufacturing

Some producers and operators take advantage of consumers’ lack of professional knowledge about building materials, intentionally violate relevant national standards and harm the interests of consumers. For example: According to standards, aluminum alloy profiles with a thickness less than 1.2 mm cannot be used to seal balconies. At present, more than 90% of the aluminum profiles used to seal balconies have a thickness of less than 1 mm, causing the hidden danger of falling balcony sealing windows and already posing a danger. Some companies used banned xylene, coal tar xylene and other highly toxic solvents to produce colorful paints and applied them to the walls of thousands of households, causing people to be harmed without knowing it.

Five: Substituting one thing for another to make huge profits

This kind of phenomenon mostly occurs in "foreign goods" or "quasi-foreign goods". For example, some surf bathtubs claim to have "all imported components" under the banner of import or joint venture. In fact, the key component of their products, the electric system, is "locally made."

It is not that easy to identify whether the product you choose is genuine. Especially for novice decorators, it is best to go to a larger building materials brand store to buy it.
