The price of crude oil, wood and hardware has driven up the price of related products - “As early as the prices of building materials have risen so fast, I should start construction a month ago.” Recently, in the Beijing Chengcheng furniture and building materials market, we purchased hardware, wires and other decoration materials. Zhao Yong said irritably.

Originally, after the completion of the year, he asked the decoration company to make a budget for the renovation cost because he "was guilty of delaying the delay" and did not expect to start work now. The 120-square-meter house had only more than 3,200 yuan for hardware and wires. "This is not a wooden floor, sanitary ware and other things. This only separated by more than a month!" Zhao Yong repented.

In this regard, Liu Zhenyu, deputy general manager of Chengcheng Furniture and Building Materials Market, believes that Zhao Yong has had a budget before and knows that the renovation is now spending more money than it was a month ago. In fact, with the price changes brought about by the price increase of raw materials such as hardware, wood floors, and sanitary ware, plus the increase in renovation costs brought about by people’s pursuit of environmental protection and quality, the renovation of 100,000 yuan last year was You need to spend 120,000 yuan to 130,000 yuan to complete the renovation, the overall level of decoration prices rose by 20%.

This year, the ex-factory price of hardware has increased by 23%. The top-level hardware in Zhongshan, Guangzhou, is a brand that can be seen in several major building decoration markets in Beijing. Yesterday, Mr. Cai, the largest branch in Beijing, stated that on the first day of February this year, he received notice of price increases from Zhongshan manufacturers, which had soared to 25,500 yuan per ton, compared to a year ago. The difference is 6,500 yuan, or 30%, and manufacturers can no longer sell at current prices. From now on, hardware related to copper and aluminum raw materials will be raised by 20%, 25% to 30% from the original supplier price.

Mr. Cai said that in fact, the top-level price increase has been more than a month later than other small hardware manufacturers. Many small-brand hardware manufacturers have already adjusted prices with raw material prices in January this year. The top manufacturers, such as the top, had stocks before, so they didn't sell at the new price until the inventory of raw materials had been digested. Mr. Cai gave an example. A 120 yuan top-of-the-line lock is now sold for around 135 yuan. He stressed: "The price increase is not for higher profits, but the cost is mentioned. We can only follow suit. We must not lose money at all."

The analysis of hardware, price increases, it is surprising - for many people, the ** market seems very far away from their own lives, but this time the hardware price increases, in fact, because the ** market changes caused. The adjustment price of domestic hardware materials is currently mainly based on the market. In the second half of last year, copper prices and aluminum prices in the market continued to rise, and copper prices rose the most in December 2005. The closing price of copper prices at the end of last month was 4,1920 yuan/ton, which has continued to rise since then. Aluminum prices have been showing since November 2005. Obvious upward trend. "After doing so many years of hardware, such a large increase this year is really the first time encountered!" Mr. Cai said with emotion.

Lamps and bathrooms are generally raised by 10%

Yesterday, the survey on a number of building materials and home furnishing markets, such as Cheng Cheng Cheng, Ai Jia Family, Dong Fang Jia Yuan, Shi Zang Zhi, and Xiao Long Ceramics Market, found that apart from significant price increases in hardware, aluminum, copper, steel, crude oil, etc. The rise in raw materials and the non-renewability of wood and other resources also led to an increase in other decoration materials, other than hardware.

Wu Xiao, who is also the deputy general manager of a building materials home furnishing market, said that due to the current adjustment of labor costs is not very large, therefore, the price of basic decoration is almost the same as the year before. In the decoration part, building materials such as kitchens and bathrooms, lamps, wooden doors, cabinets, etc., which are related to metal, are also rising in price. "This year, lamps, bathroom products, etc. also generally have a 10% increase." Several other building materials firm confirmed the view of Wu Xiao.

The accurate information was obtained in the ceramic market of Panlong: Guangzhou Foshan ceramics manufacturers have announced price increases, and ceramic manufacturers in Fujian, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are all brewing prices. Chen Jinlin, head of Haolong Market, said that the ceramic industry's first price increase in more than a decade was due to the rise in oil prices, which led to the rise in the cost of making ceramics—burning ceramics with fuel. According to reports, the price adjustment of the ceramic industry is about 20% to 30%.

Consumer Tips: Beware of the small brands of drowning fish in the face of rising prices, how to avoid the loss caused by the rise of materials has become a lot of people who want to decorate the first thing to consider. Mr. Cai, a top-level distributor in Beijing and a veteran in the building materials industry, first reminded consumers that the decreasing energy consumption caused the price of raw materials to increase. This trend will not be much relieved during the year. Therefore, the decoration The people have to hurry up the renovation and can't wait for the price to drop.

Mr. Zhang of Hongnai Wood Industry Marketing Department and Chen Longlin, Chairman of the Longyan Ceramics Market, reminded consumers that at the current cost increase, the price increase of building materials is not necessarily a bad thing. Only in this way can manufacturers guarantee quality.

Wu Qi is to remind the people to be renovated: building materials prices have affected the entire industry, but can not rule out some small brands or the sales market took the opportunity to “swiftly fish in troubled” price increases, therefore, the upcoming season of decoration, to remind to buy decoration The owners of the hardware and the users to be installed may consider the high-profile brands when selecting the hardware products. Since the big brands have a strict price control system, the prices offered to the consumers are relatively reasonable and fair, and the price/performance ratio Consider that choosing products with brand awareness is more reliable.
