Interior trees can differ in size and shape, have different branch construction, texture and color of needles, and decor. Therefore, before buying, you need to decide on some basic important points, understand what to pay attention to.
Quality and material of needles
First of all, the tree must be safe for people, animals, and the environment. The material that imitates needles comes in several types: PVC film, fishing line, and molded branches. Here you should focus on appearance, tactile sensations, and allocated budget.
The most realistic look is achieved by trees made of molded rubber. Even to the touch, its needles are very reminiscent of real ones. The branches do not wrinkle and hold their shape perfectly. Such models are not cheap, but they are worth it. Moreover, the "lifespan" of a molded tree is more than 50 years.
The most affordable in price are products made of PVC. That is, the needles are made of PVC film cut into thin strips. Trees of this type are soft and fluffy. PVC trees will last about 10 years.
Fishing line is usually used to imitate pine needles. Such models are very fluffy and voluminous, with needles that are stiff to the touch. Fishing line holds its shape perfectly and is wear-resistant. The branches maintain their shape for many years.
Some manufacturers have created combined models – trees with needles made of PVC and fishing line, PVC and molding, or all three options together.
Size and storage
Before buying, you should decide on the place where you plan to install the tree – the size of the tree will depend on this. The most common interior trees are 1.5-3 meters high.
It is also worth thinking about the storage space for the tree throughout the year. That means, when choosing, pay attention to how the structure is assembled and disassembled. And what size the box is, to better understand where to allocate space for it in the home.
Pay attention to design features. Tree branches can be bendable, hinged, and insertable: Bendable branches are firmly attached to the trunk, and when setting up the tree, they need to be bent out. Hinged branches are also attached to the trunk; they can simply be folded down and then folded up. Insertable branches are inserted into special grooves on the tree trunk. For ease of assembly, the grooves and branches are sometimes color-coded. Such models are compact and convenient for storage.
The wide range of artificial trees available today in online stores can satisfy the demands of the most discerning customers. The main thing is to make a choice and purchase a New Year tree that will last for many years while preserving its beauty.
