Pvc needles material. Types and differences of materials for artificial Christmas trees. PVC Christmas trees

This term defines a structure in the form of a festive tree, installed on the street or in the house for New Year's holidays to decorate it. The Germans were the first to massively use it in the 19th century, then the product was made from goose feathers. To make it believable, it was covered with green paint. Over the next 100 years, such a tree became popular throughout Europe, and at the end of the 20th century it crossed the ocean and took root in the United States.

A modern artificial Christmas tree for the New Year is as close as possible to a "live" competitor. She also has a trunk, which is slightly smaller than usual, as well as branches with thin needles. It can be either spruce or pine, which is also found in an artificial form. The difference between them is that the first branches are thinner, mostly looking up, and the crown is thicker, although not very lush. In Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, it is pine that is most often sold.

Among the characteristics of this product are the following:

  • Color... In most cases, you can find trees with green needles on the market, but sometimes you can buy models with a blue or white crown, imitating snow. Blue spruce trees look quite interesting, having a very realistic look.
  • Decor... Products with a price above average (from 1000 rubles) can often be purchased with beautiful decorative elements, which greatly facilitates their decoration. Manufacturers offer trees with cones, glitters, white dusting on the ends of the needles. Regardless, they are always sold with a comfortable stand.
  • Smell... A high-quality product never smells like anything, only in the first days after purchase it can slightly give off plastic. Soon the problem resolves on its own, but if this does not happen, then cheap materials were used.
  • Best before date... Officially, manufacturers declare a figure of 5-7 years, but in fact, most often it turns out that a tree can be used for 10 years or more.
  • Material... The most affordable models are made of polyvinyl chloride. Aluminum and fiber optic trees are quite rare specimens. This is due to the fact that their production requires more serious financial investments and is a rather difficult process.
  • Weight... On average, it can range from 500 g to 20 kg, the higher and more luxuriant the tree, the greater this figure will be.
  • Height... A Christmas tree can have completely different heights, the minimum usually found on sale is about 25 cm, and the maximum is 12 m. It is customary to place small products on a table or chair, and tall ones - right on the floor.
Artificial Christmas trees can also be placed on the street, for this case, models with a height of 2 m or more are suitable. They withstand temperature extremes, exposure to wind and snow well. This property is often used by city authorities, decorating the main square of different settlements with just such a tree. Fir-trees above 3-5 m are very often sold collapsible.

Advantages and disadvantages of an artificial Christmas tree


People who decide to stay on this option, first of all, win in money. It is enough to calculate how much you will have to pay for the purchase of a "live" tree within 10 years (the average service life of an artificial analogue), and compare the amount received with the cost of decorative trees. The benefits will be obvious, because we are talking about more than 300% overpayment.

Here are some more compelling reasons for buying a faux product:

  1. Hypoallergenic... This will play one of the most important roles in the presence of small children in the house, because live pine trees have a pronounced odor, sometimes irritating the nasal mucosa, causing a runny nose and sore throat. This will serve as an equally important selection criterion for pregnant women.
  2. The convenience of use... You yourself can determine how long the holiday will last in your house, because an artificial tree cannot turn yellow and crumble. You don’t need to take it out to the trash, shoot yourself up, and then clean up after yourself for a long time. In the piggy bank of pluses, you need to add a rather simple installation, because the tree is usually sold already with a cross, and decorating it is quite simple! One-piece models do not need any assembly at all - put them on, decorate and enjoy the beauty! With collapsible modifications, everything is also quite simple, you just need to fix the leg on the stand and, starting from the bottom, insert the branches into the corresponding grooves in the trunk, while fluffing them up.
  3. Aesthetic appearance... Such a tree looks like a living tree, it is eternally green (if this particular color was chosen), lush and slender. There are no branches bouncing upward or hanging ugly to the floor. All the needles on them are equally even, and the crown is neat, which allows you to evenly distribute toys, "rain" and garlands. In addition to this, the artificial Christmas tree is very stable, which eliminates the risk of its falling, damage to the decor and, as a result, deterioration of the festive mood.
  4. Caring for nature... Not everyone likes to buy a specially felled tree out of a whim, so that in a week or two they can simply throw it away. In addition, it causes significant harm to the environment.
  5. Easy to clean... It is enough to wipe the product with a damp sponge and dry it well once a year before installing. There are no strict requirements for its storage, it is only necessary after cleaning to tie the structure with a rope (if it is cast), wrap it with a dark film and store it in a place protected from sunlight and moisture.
  6. Availability... It will be pleasant that there is no need to wait for the opening of the Christmas tree markets, which do not start working until early-mid-December. Thus, you can safely choose a new design you like or update an old one, without haste and fuss. This can be done not only in winter, but also in spring and autumn, and even in summer.
Despite all the advantages of an artificial Christmas tree, even the most ideal model has some disadvantages. An obstacle on the way to buying it may be the lack of space for storing the product. This applies mainly to cast models that cannot be disassembled. But this problem can be completely solved by choosing a structure of small size or with removable branches.

Another undesirable moment is a possible conflict with old traditions in society, because in many families it is customary to choose a “living” New Year tree together. This may contribute to some discord among its members. A spoiled mood caused by the sight of the same tree for several years runs the risk of complementing this unpleasant picture.

The absence of a real forest smell, which naturally affects the festive mood, is also somewhat upsetting. But this situation can also be corrected with the help of special aromatic sprays. It is enough to simply spray them once, and it will provide a great scent for several days.

Varieties of artificial Christmas trees


Let us repeat that such "trees" are solid and collapsible. The first, as the name implies, do not require absolutely any installation, they are simply taken out and installed on the floor or table. They usually come with a 10-year warranty; they cost many times more expensive than "live" options. Collapsible models are much more complicated, since they consist of several independent parts - a trunk and branches, the number of which can exceed 100 pieces, depending on the size of the tree. Naturally, collapsible designs are more convenient.

According to the type of material, the following types of artificial trees are found:

  • Lesochnye... Such options were especially popular during the Soviet era, as they were inexpensive and sold wherever possible. With the collapse of the USSR, their appearance has noticeably transformed, now they do not lose their volume over time, do not crumple or crumble. The design is highly durable, but not happy because of the rather noticeably prickly needles and a slight unnatural shine. For the price, such proposals are classified as budgetary. In this case, the buyer receives a product that will last from 5 to 15 years. The main producing country of such structures is Russia, Belarus, Ukraine.
  • Film... They are made from PVC, they look more natural than fishing line models, are the most popular on the market and have skin-friendly needles. That is why they are classified as products of the middle price segment. These constructions are completely safe for health, do not emit toxins and are not flammable. They can be safely bought for families with children, they can serve both 5 and 10 years.
  • Fiber optic... These are the highest quality and most beautiful designs, which naturally affected their price, which is not particularly democratic. They can be recognized from afar by green or snow-covered needles and luminous branches, in the needles of which an inconspicuous LED thread is built. Thanks to this, to decorate the Christmas tree, you will need a minimum of decor, primarily different garlands. But in order for all this beauty to create a New Year's mood, she needs to be powered from the mains using an adapter. At the same time, you should not worry about high power consumption and fire safety: everything is under control here. These products are manufactured primarily in China, are premium class and last more than 10 years.
Since you want to choose a Christmas tree so that it pleases for 5 years, or better all 10, you should still take a closer look at film or fiber-optic products.


The optimal height of the "tree" for the house is from 1.3 to 1.7 m, a smaller tree will look beautiful only on a chair or table. Regardless of this, it should be flat, with a fluffy crown. It is necessary to try to bend the branches and see if they quickly return to their original position, if immediately, then this is a good indicator.

It is also important that the needles are rigid, firmly attached to them and do not prick. To check this indicator, you should pull a few needles, which, with high-quality performance, simply cannot fall out and injure the skin. Also remember that a normal product never smells like anything.

Before choosing an artificial Christmas tree, it is important to consider the following nuances:

  1. Make sure that the stand is stable, the tree should not fall on its side. To avoid this, lightly push it to the left, right or forward, as a result of which a high-quality tree should remain in place. For this purpose, they try to make the cross and the frame of metal.
  2. It is better to bypass cheap products from China, which are mostly made of low-quality materials that emit formaldehyde and phenol when heated. These volatile substances can cause severe allergies, dizziness, and migraines.
  3. When buying a product, you must ask the seller to provide a sanitary-epidemiological conclusion, fire and hygiene certificates on the safety of the goods. You can check its resistance to fire by burning several needles taken from the product, which, of course, should not catch fire.
  4. You need to buy a tree only in stores, preferably specializing in the sale of New Year's decorations. You should definitely ask the seller for a receipt, so that if something happens, you can dispute the purchase.
  5. If there is not enough space in the house, it is more profitable to buy a collapsible structure, which at the end of the holidays can be divided into branches and put into a closet.
When choosing an artificial Christmas tree, you should not focus only on its appearance, because a beautiful and lush crown still says little.

When to buy and prices for artificial spruce


It will hardly be possible to purchase such products on the Christmas tree market; they are sold mainly in specialized online or offline stores.

Those who want to save some money are advised to buy a tree at least 2-3 months before the start of the winter holidays. At this time, there are various discounts in stores and the choice is still quite large, but the closer to December 31, the higher the prices. Therefore, it is simply unacceptable here to delay with the choice until the very last day in the hope of massive sales, as is often the case with a "live" tree.

On average, small PVC “trees” up to 1.5 m high cost about 1200 rubles. On the model of large sizes, the price starts from 1,500 rubles. Cast and fiber optic structures cost more, the approximate price range is from 4,000 to 20,000 rubles. Christmas trees above 5 m, made on a metal frame, will cost 50,000 rubles. and more.

In fact, the problem is not at all what kind of artificial Christmas tree to buy, everything depends on the budget. If you have free funds, you can afford to purchase an expensive, but high-quality design that will please the eye for many years.

There are prints that are appropriate anytime, anywhere. They embody classics and impeccable taste. It is to these that the herringbone print, which is so popular in recent times, or, as it is also called, "fishbone", "corners", "broken strip".

Herringbone fabric is most often used for sewing winter and autumn clothes, business suits and club jackets. This explains the choice of restrained colors: the herringbone is almost always made in gray, brown, black tones. The only exceptions are fabrics where several colors are combined, for example, such a denim was first invented by John Walker, and is produced by a well-known brand.

Today we will talk about where the herringbone fabric comes from, which designers chose it to create their collections, as well as how and with what to combine clothes with this print. Let's get started!

Print history: a Christmas tree was born in the forest?

Many people think that a herringbone is a special type of fabric, in fact it is a pattern, so it would be more accurate to say not a herringbone fabric, but a herringbone fabric. It is a pattern created by interweaving warp and weft threads of different colors, resulting in a pattern similar to herringbone needles. Due to the different tension and direction of the threads, you can achieve both more and less pronounced patterns, as well as adjust its relief and even the brilliance of the diagonals! The herringbone can be either vertical or horizontal. Most often, the herringbone print adorns suit fabric, tweed, drape, wool.

Herringbone fabric appeared a long time ago. For example, of the samples of fabrics found by archaeologists in the 9th-11th centuries, more than a third are fabrics with twill weaving in the “herringbone” type. However, in those days, this fabric was considered inexpensive and of poor quality. This is not the case with modern herringbone fabric. This once again confirms and explains why the popularity of plain dyed and multi-colored herringbone fabric for sewing business suits, sports and club jackets is growing. And recently, designers have been making women's tops, bustiers, dresses and even fur coats from it.

Herringbone fabric fashion

Karl Lagerfeld added a gothic herringbone robes to his autumn collection.

A dress with a thin herringbone wrap from the brand looks more feminine. Long gloves add special elegance to the look.

The herringbone print in their fall-winter collection was played back in 2011 by designers Max and Lubov Azria. In the first exit, we see a classic strict coat in a masculine style, just below mid-thigh length, tied at the waist with a black leather belt.

The VIVA VOX brand also did not deny itself the pleasure of introducing the herringbone print to the public in an interesting and unusual way. He did this with the help of long-piled fur, drawing on it the appropriate pattern. An asymmetrical hem complemented the fur coat.


This popular print in the brand's collection looks unusual. Instead of the usual materials, he depicted it with leather and gold metallized stripes sewn onto it, thus imitating a herringbone.

In the collections from Ralf Lauren, the herringbone print can be found quite often, for example, in the fall of 2010, this pattern adorned cropped straight trousers and coats. Despite the fact that there are already several collections, it does not lose its relevance.






How to wear a herringbone print?

Elegant yet simple and straightforward, this print never goes out of style. The creative director of the fashion brand gave a very accurate description of the people choosing herringbone fabric. Namely, that "they understand something in this life" - once they choose such an exquisite pattern. If you choose a Christmas tree, you have already appreciated its wonderful features. But let's remember and repeat how and with what to wear this fashionable print in order to look graceful and elegant even on weekdays.

The beauty is that it is quite easy to combine herringbone clothes with other prints. For example, Dolce & Gabbana perfectly combines a laconic herringbone suit with a deep scarlet snakeskin bag.

We recommend not to use more than one herringbone print item in your outfit. If you have chosen a herringbone jacket, then complement it with plain trousers or even jeans. A minimalist handbag, also monophonic, will complement the look.

If the choice fell on trousers with this pattern, then you can complement them with a feminine blouse, it is possible with a print, for example, with a floral one, as Ralf Lauren does in his collection.
Herringbone fabrics are ideally combined with flowing light fabrics such as silk, chiffon, lace.

Remember that the more textured and pronounced the herringbone is, the easier it should be to pair with it. For example, for a skirt in a pronounced herringbone, a plain blouse or a top in the color of a dusty rose will do. While a dress with a small, unexpressed herringbone print can be complemented with bright accessories, for example, a red lacquer bag.

Artificial Christmas tree - now in our modern time, the time of new technologies, new discoveries and in general a lot of things that are happening, our herringbone, the tradition that we have been carrying for a long time, remains the same dear and warm. We decorate our coniferous tree every year and celebrate the New Year. The herringbone is considered the most important symbol of the New Year. Everyone, on the eve of the New Year holidays, begins to prepare for the New Year celebration, namely, everything starts with the purchase of a Christmas tree.

So, how to choose the right tree For myself, many residents of our country face this issue. In order to make the choice easy, we have prepared a short article for you that will tell you what the Christmas tree is made of, what types of assembly it can be and what you need to pay attention to when buying!

1. Let's take a look at what an artificial Christmas tree is and what it is made of.

Artificial spruce is an artificial tree imitating a real live Christmas tree from the forest. They come in different types, colors, heights. It can be pine, fir, blue Christmas tree, with cones, snow-covered or with toys on the branches. The color scheme of modern Christmas trees is varied: from dark emerald to pale light green.

Artificial Christmas trees are made from various materials.
For example, the base of many spruce trees is made of metal pipes - this is metal usually high-strength and rust-free, which can withstand the weight of twigs, Christmas toys and garlands.
Spruce branches are made from metal rods, which, in turn, also come from high-strength and non-rusting steel, which does not bend under the weight of the twigs themselves, and New Year's decorations.
The rods are intertwined with various types of raw materials, namely, it can be fishing line or pvc film.
- PVC film, polyvinyl chloride is an environmentally friendly material consisting of plastic, but in a softer form, a soft look is obtained due to a complex chemical process, a thin polymer film of pvc, is distinguished by its physical resistance to various types of alkali, mineral oils, many acids and solvents, does not burn and does not ignite in air, heat resistance +65 ° C., as well as odorless, fireproof, i.e. does not burn in case of fire, does not support fire.

Artificial trees have different designs. Some species have a hinged structure and open like an umbrella, while other trees are assembled from branches that are inserted into the tree stem.

What are artificial trees made of?

Let's try to figure out what the New Year's artificial beauties are made of.

Plastic cast Christmas trees

Artificial trees can be made of plastic, these are the so-called cast trees. They look very much like real live Christmas trees. Branches with soft needles are made of polypropylene, and each branch is cast in a separate special shape.

Christmas trees made of PVC film

Artificial trees are also made of PVC film. Better quality Christmas trees are obtained from a thin polymer tape with a metal base inside. This tape is passed through machines, which finely cut it into needles. Strips with needles of different lengths are wound on wire and twigs are created, which are collected into fluffy beautiful trees.

Artificial Christmas trees made of fishing line

A fishing line is used to make a Christmas tree. A tree made of fishing line is fluffier than a tree made of PVC film and is more similar to natural. Pine branches are also made from fishing line, which are similar to bottle cleaners.

Christmas trees with paper needles

The needles for Christmas trees can be made of paper impregnated with a special composition. Paper needles are wound on a wire. Such an artificial tree has a short service life and is highly flammable, even from electric lights.

How to choose the right artificial tree

Before buying an artificial tree, you must choose a place where you will put your New Year's beauty - on the table, on the floor, by the window, in the center or in the corner of the room. And also decide on the type of tree (fir, spruce or pine) and size, you will have a small Christmas tree or a large spruce right up to the ceiling.



Tree stand

The first thing you need to pay attention to when choosing an artificial tree is a stand. The stand can be metal, plastic or wood. If the tree is more than 150 cm, then the stand should be cross-shaped, stable, the tree should not wobble. A metal stand is considered more reliable. The plastic stand can break under the weight of the toys.

The quality of the tree

Pay attention to how the branches are attached, they must be well fixed, the needles on the branches must also hold tight and be rigid. When choosing a Christmas tree, pull slightly on the needles, they should not come off. Run your palm over the twig against the growth of the needles, or squeeze the twig in your palm. High-quality needles will quickly return to their original shape and will not crumble. The wire on which the twigs are wound should not show through and stick out naked.

Fire safety

A high-quality Christmas tree should be made of fire-resistant materials or treated with special anti-flammable substances that exclude fire. The packaging of the tree must contain such information. After all, electric garlands are hung on the tree, and if the material from which the tree is made easily ignites, then the consequences can be the most deplorable.

Environmental Safety

Environmental safety is one of the conditions for the correct choice of artificial trees. The tree should not emit an unpleasant chemical odor and should not contain substances harmful to health. To do this, you need to familiarize yourself with the quality certificate, ask the seller to show you this document.

Price

The prices for artificial trees are also very diverse. There are cheap Chinese trees with paper needles on sale, but it is advisable to refuse such a tree. Most often, these trees are sold without a certificate and can be made of materials containing substances hazardous to health.

Cast plastic trees have a higher price, since the production of such trees is expensive. Artificial cast Christmas trees are produced in Europe, they are of high quality.

The most affordable price for artificial trees made of PVC, such trees are considered safe and look elegant.

The price of a Christmas tree also depends on the quality and strength of the structure, on the size, as well as on designer pieces in the form of cones, glowing twigs, multi-colored needles and other decorations. But an artificial tree is bought for more than one year, and therefore it is better to buy a higher-quality product that will delight you for more than one year.
