New Year is just around the corner. And that means it's time to think about how we'll celebrate it, what we'll buy, what we'll cook, how we'll decorate our home.
But the main question is, of course, about who no New Year's holiday can do without.
This is a New Year tree. The most important beauty of the house during the holidays. It can be alive or artificial. It's up to you.
What you need to know before buying
If you prefer the latter option (there are a lot of such people), then when choosing a tree you will need to pay attention to a few things.
It is worth remembering that after the holidays you will not throw away such a tree, so you need a place to store it. And do not forget about the danger - toxicity.
But first of all, before buying an artificial tree, you should choose a place in your home for it.
For a small room it is better to take a small tree, for a spacious room – a larger one is possible.
Materials
Since the tree is artificial, it is made of a certain material.
Today, polyvinyl chloride is most often used for its production, cutting pine needles from it, adding LED threads, using PVC fishing line.
The main advantage of such trees is their affordability.
But Christmas trees cast from rubber will look like real ones, in addition, they are more durable, and their appearance is very attractive.
The downside of such trees is that they are more expensive than PVC spruce trees.
Danger
The main danger that artificial trees pose is toxicity.
A persistent smell of plastic can negatively affect not only your mood, but also your health.
Therefore, it is recommended to purchase artificial trees only if they have documents confirming the safety of the materials (certificates of conformity and fire safety).
What else to pay attention to
When purchasing such trees, also pay attention to the following points:
– quality of needles (should not fall off);
– reliability of the stand;
– warranty (for PVC products the warranty is up to 10-12 years, for cast structures – up to 30 years and even more);
– color (choose to match your interior).
