The price of imported flooring materials soared

The price of wood flooring has been rising, and the price, amplitude, and frequency of price increases are unprecedented. Two years ago, the most popular timber species were pineapple. As Southeast Asian countries strictly controlled the export of timber, the supply was cut off, so not only the price The rise has risen again. There was even a phenomenon that there was no market in the last year, and this year it has been difficult to trace.

Immediately after the current temperature keeps rising, some large floor stores are able to cope with a few months due to relatively abundant stocks, and some small floor business days are not so easy, because there is no stable source of supply, and they are facing no stock. The passive situation that can be sold, if not done well, will be eliminated by the market.

First, the price of heavy ants doubled in two years

The price of wood flooring has been rising, and the price, amplitude, and frequency of price increases are unprecedented. Two years ago, the most popular timber species were pineapple. As Southeast Asian countries strictly controlled the export of timber, the supply was cut off, so not only the price The rise has risen again. There was even a phenomenon that there was no market in the last year, and this year it has been difficult to trace.

Today, the heavy ants produced mainly in Brazil face the same fate. An industry insider who has worked for more than 20 years in Brazil’s timber business told reporters that since last year, the Brazilian government has started to restrict timber exports, which has led to the shortage of supply of Brazilian flats; at the same time, with the rapid development of real estate in Europe and the United States, a large number of European and American countries Buyers flock to Brazil, causing the already intense Brazilian plate to become more and more contaminated. The heavy ants rose from 200 yuan/square meter two years ago to nearly 400 yuan/square meter.

The continuous bullishness of solid wood flooring not only frightens consumers, but even wood floor distributors are caught off guard. A businessman who had been operating wooden flooring in Hangzhou for seven years told reporters: “A phone call from the manufacturer informs you that the price has gone up. There is no room for maneuver.”

Second, floor merchant betting solid wood composite flooring

Although the price of heavy ant wood is already at a high level, due to its stylish color and good stability, especially its prominent anti-corrosion properties, it is suitable for a humid climate like Hangzhou, so it is still highly sought after in the Hangzhou market. The person in charge of the Jiahao good floor store told reporters that the supply of heavy ants in early March was relatively abundant, but it was difficult to guarantee a new round of price increases in April and May. Due to the shortage of supply of heavy ants wood, it is difficult to ease in the short term. They are preparing to open up a two-millimeter-thick three-story solid wood floor this year, and will also open up new species from Africa and Russia to meet market needs.

It should be noted that some irresponsible manufacturers are unable to obtain the supply of heavy ant wood, and take the opportunity to purchase defective B and C grade plates from Brazil to China, through scraping, adding color, trimming and other treatments. Subsequent filling; some even use other inferior materials through color processing, posing as heavy ants wood pit consumers. An industry expert in a new type of flooring city reminded consumers that when buying Brazilian heavy ants, they must look for PU-painted, non-coloured floors, and especially those six-side-sealed floors.
