Extra charge comes room type

However, recently, consumers have reported that there is another charge for installation of outdoor wall panels, which is called special-shaped floor installation fee. It is the extra allowance to workers for special pavement, which makes it difficult for many consumers to understand.

Mr. Wang, a citizen, was told during the installation of the floor in his new house that due to an arc-shaped balcony, workers would charge extra fees for irregular installation. Mr. Wang is puzzled. He said the price would be increased because of the arc balcony at home. Is there any greasiness in it?

The store manager told the reporter that if Mr. Wang's room type is paved with floor, it belongs to the category of special-shaped installation. The special-shaped installation is more labor-intensive the price increase is normal.

Subsequently, the reporter visited a number of floor vendors to learn that the irregular fees in the floor installation fees are very normal. According to an insider, the ordinary floor installation does need trimming, but it can be paved directly according to the specifications, but the special-shaped installation has to be designed according to the shape of the room, the floor is cut trimmed according to the shape of the room, which is labor-consuming time-consuming. "Some installations need to measure each floor, some special shapes, such as movable exhibition stands, need to polish each floor. Sometimes a small piece of floor takes a day, which often delays the construction speed of workers. The irregular installation fee collected is a subsidy to the workers. " This personage inside course of study introduces.

Active inquiry before purchase

For the collection of irregular fees, the standards of each seller are the same. First of all, there are different judging standards for special-shaped installation. For example, some flooring brands think that this involves wall fixing more complex process, so it is also included in special-shaped installation. However, some brands think that this part of the area is generally relatively small, which can be avoided. Secondly, the charging standard is also different. For the installation fee of the floor laid in the same triangle shape, the charging gap between the brand floor the general floor can reach 200 yuan.

Yesterday's reporter learned the Municipal Bureau of industry commerce consumer protection department that there is no provision for irregular fees for floor installation, which are mainly negotiated by both parties.

The staff of the consumer protection department suggested that when purchasing the floor, the owner could take the house type drawing with him ask whether he would charge "special-shaped fee" when purchasing. At the same time, try to choose the big brand floor. "The big brand floor generally provides free measurement service. When consumers purchase the floor, the measurement specialist will go to the owner's home for field measurement. If there is a special-shaped installation part, he will be informed at that time that it involves charging the special-shaped installation fee, which will be collected together with the owner's payment, then the company will return it to the installation workers. In this case, as the owner knows the cost in advance, there will be no objection. " The staff said.
