Mr. Lee renovated the 60-square-meter house, but spent 71.5 square meters of wooden floor and spent more than 500 yuan. This is something that consumers often encounter. The industry and commerce department reminds consumers that the actual paving area of ​​wood flooring will differ from the area marked on the packing box. Unclear consumers will accidentally “catch up”.

“Consumers generally think that the wood floor they are spending to buy is the actual paving area.” The industrial and commercial department stated that the wood floor manufacturers did not buy it, and the mediation of the industrial and commercial departments often failed. Therefore, when consumers purchase wood floors, they must make sure that the merchants specify on the sales contract or purchase certificate: whether the wooden floor area is “product area” or “actual paving area”. It is advisable for merchants to indicate commodity measurement standards and calculation methods on sales contracts or deposit receipts in order to avoid unnecessary trouble later.
