Many high-end home decoration building materials are expensive, and have even become a goal for many people: when I have money, I must use certain materials in my home. But these people may not have thought that these materials themselves are IQ taxes.

Who says you get what you pay for? For home decoration and building materials, the following four \”high-end\” products are typically good-looking but useless.

[1] Diatom mud, shell powder

In the past, our wall decoration materials would be chosen from latex paint, wallpaper, and wall coverings. A few years ago, a new building material called \”diatom mud\” was launched; a few years later, shell powder appeared.

These two so-called \”high-end\” building materials are sold under the guise of environmental protection – \”breathing walls\” is the most common advertising slogan.

But what is the reality?

First of all, we must be clear about one thing: diatomaceous earth or shell powder itself is not sticky. So how to fix them to the wall? The answer is to addInsert glue.

As long as there is glue, there will be a risk of contamination – some cheap products (no matter how cheap they are are much more expensive than latex paint wallpaper), painted on the wall, It will immediately cause indoor formaldehyde content to exceed the standard.

As for \”breathing walls\”, it is also nonsense. Diatom mud and shell powder are just decorations, and there is no such thing as \”breathable\” at all. As for the so-called \”formaldehyde removal\” ability, it is even more groundless.

【二】Pure solid wood flooring

Think of the pure solid wood flooring back then It is indeed the goal of many people\’s hearts, and they even put it on the same level as \”luxury houses\” and \”luxury cars\”. Back then, there was nothing wrong with you treating pure solid wood floors as treasures, but it doesn\’t work today.

From today\’s perspective, the two major disadvantages of pure solid wood flooring are difficult to accept:

1. It is easy to deform, and after using it for a period of time, the ground will become uneven and make abnormal noises.

2. Regular maintenance is required. Failure to do so will lead toCause problems such as fading and cracking.

In contrast, composite solid wood flooring, which is now very mature in technology, is simply high quality and cheap, and extremely cost-effective. With better choices available, it’s time for pure solid wood flooring, which was almost “godlike” in the past, to step down from the altar.

【三】Natural stone

The most common natural stone for home use The stone is marble – on the bay window, lay a piece of marble; on the windowsill, lay a piece of marble; on the cabinet, lay a piece of marble. Some people even lay a piece of marble on the entrance floor.

At that time, everyone pursued marble because there were only two options: marble and ceramic tiles. In comparison, marble is better than ceramic tiles in terms of appearance and durability.

But today is different: various artificial stones emerge in endlessly, quartz stone, granite, slate, which one is not better than marble? Compared with these artificial stones, natural marble has two major flaws:

1. The size is limited. If it is too large, it will involve seams. There is no way to leave no trace on the seams. It will leave a large and obvious gap, which is unsightly and will also become a sanitary blind spot.

2. There is no advantage in terms of hardness. Marble back then was always known for being \”wear-resistant and strong\”, but today\’s artificial stone has long surpassed it in this aspect. Today, marble is. Easier to scratch and bump.

【四】Titanium-magnesium alloy door

Bathroom, kitchen, and balcony doors generally use metal doors. When you go to buy metal doors, the boss will ask you: Do you want titanium-magnesium alloy doors?

This name makes people feel so high-end – titanium and magnesium are extremely expensive materials if taken separately. If they are made into alloys, they will probably be very high-end!

The reality is disappointing again: the so-called \”titanium-magnesium alloy\” is actually still a type of aluminum alloy. The largest component in \”titanium-magnesium alloy\” is just a little bit added. Titanium and magnesium.

As for how useful it is, it may not be reflected:

Some merchants will say that \”titanium-magnesium alloy\” doors have greater hardness and narrower door frames, but in fact, ordinary aluminum alloy Kinmen can do the same.

Afraid of being cheated? Then remember this: No matter what name it is, it is essentially aluminum alloy when we choose it. Just pay attention to the quality and appearance of the door and change the name. , will not have any impact on the door itself (only the price).
