How to choose a good artificial Christmas tree for the house - the most important tips

Without this forest beauty New Year does not meet any one family.Experts have noticed that in recent years there has been a steady trend towards the purchase of artificial Christmas trees for the house, and not "live".What is the impact - the practicality and elementary calculation (since these products are not "disposable" and serve as many years), the revitalization of the environmental commitment to nature conservation or something else - is not so important.Interest in industrial production growing trees, and it is a fact.

Accordingly, the range of such products is only multiplied.But do all of what the market offers, it is suitable for our home?What we take into account the nuances of what to pay attention to before buying, so the choice was optimal, we'll talk.Moreover, it is about how to select the tree to be installed at home and not at the site.

Let us examine the main criteria by which to evaluate the artificial forest beauties.

Dimensions

understood not only the height of the Christmas tree, but that area, which she will take after the installation.Do not focus on how the "look" pattern exhibited at the point of sale.Often the buyer fails elementary "optical illusion."On the street or in a spacious sales room article may look neat, nice and compact.But it turns out in the assembly in the apartment, which put it on their "square meters" will be quite difficult.

From this point of view should not be selected too high or spreading patterns.Therefore, we must:

• before going to the store to determine the installation place of eating.And not only do banal measurement of the area in which it is located, but also to consider whether it would be convenient to approach it (to decorate), not "block" if it its branches cabinet doors, and similar nuances;
• before buying should ask the seller to collect the Christmas tree.The fact is that not all products falling within the definition of "standard".Therefore, a preliminary examination will allow it, first , to see the true parameters of the product, and secondly , identify all of its shortcomings or frank marriage.

As for the height, then a private house with a high ceiling and it is not so important.In general, commercially available spruce from 50 to 500 cm, so easy to pick up.

Let us turn to the choice of trees designand consider what they are and how to choose the right:

Down

Such models are less teams.The installation can be done quickly, for 10 minutes, all "parts" are attached to the frame by means of special connections.

Team

going from top to bottom.First - the "skeleton", which is then executed branches.Some models are assembled differently by separate "tiers" that consistently "strung" on the web.

manufacturing and reliability Materials

ignorant of such matters the person to define "green" products is difficult (if not impossible), not only visually, but also information that is available on the packaging (in documentation).Therefore, we must pay attention to the following points:

Resistance to fire

PVC products from this point of view, the "bad" - they are, the more of an unknown manufacturer may melt from excessive heat exposure.they are not recommended to be put near a heater.The preferred products of plastics or p / e.

Excessive presence of chemical

It is easy to determine by smell.If it is stable, sharp, unpleasant, it is best not to buy this product.Otherwise, they will be impregnated, and for a long time, the whole house.

Stand

installed in her tree must be securely fixed, the barrel - vertically, without tilting.The most reliable construction - metal.Useful Life stands of plastic or wood is much less.How to make a simple stand yourself, here.

The form is considered to be the best "cross" design.Round less stable, especially if there are some bumps on the floor.But Phillips stand can be placed anywhere, just find the right position quite a bit deploying along the axis.

Needles

need to check their reliability.To ensure that they will not be "showered" by mechanical action (for example, in the decoration of the Christmas tree toys), enough for them to pull slightly.And if you hold on needles by hand (against the "growth"), then they should immediately straighten up.And to remain the same in one piece, with no breaks.

Branches can be made "film" method and the "injection".In the first case, the material - PVC, a "skeleton" - a wire.Therefore, in terms of the durability of such structures obviously lose a cast.

loppers data binding element is a fishing line and production technology is to load the prepared mass (such as plastic) in a special form.It provides not only improved reliability but also more attractive.

Backlight

In some models, it is provided, so further "hang" garlands do not have to.For trees, set on the floor, it is advisable to choose a LED.Such "garland" look spectacular.

Everything else (color, presence of remote switching the backlight, and the like) - up to you, dear reader.

There are a number of points which it is advisable to find out immediately:

• a certificate for the products;
• warranty.Additionally, all "coordinates" (addresses, contact numbers, and so on) if the purchase is made on the street, in a temporarily fitted the "point".

cost

It is mainly determined by dimensions of the product, the number of branches and the manufacturer.The most expensive - from European countries (Netherlands, Italy, Germany).Some cheaper products from the Asian region.Basically it Thailand, Taiwan.But the most affordable - the Christmas tree «made in China».

For example, a sample height of 0.9 m from the polymers will cost 3450 rubles.The same product in a 1.7 m is in the range of 9 000 rubles.For spruce 1.85 m will have to pay around 12 - 15 thousand rubles.

In any case, you can make a choice for every budget, as the range is really great.The cheapest (but small) herringbone costs from 525 rubles / pcs.

Useful tips

• specialists oriented on the model class "Premium".They cost more, but their quality is much higher, and the toxicity is minimized since manufacturers use special technology to "clean up" of harmful substances.Given that the tree is purchased for long-term use, in view of these factors is not worth saving.Yes, and the appearance of such articles is very attractive.
• to synthetic tree "revive" its relevant enough flavor periodically spray.The unique smell of needles persists for a long time.
• should not be placed on synthetic fur-trees (and therefore in the long term, burn) candles.Firstly, the material may be melted, and secondly, the beauty of clean wood wax droplets adhere to virtually impossible.
