- How to choose an artificial Christmas tree
Before choosing an artificial Christmas tree, you need to know what they are, what are the differences.
Artificial spruce are:
- Cast. The branches are cast in separate molds, after which they are assembled together. Thus, it turns out to achieve maximum elaboration of details and realism. The most detailed are plastic spruces, their needles are safe and non-thorny.
- PVC film. PVC is also a very popular and common material for making Christmas trees. Products made of polyvinyl chloride hard film are soft and easily take the necessary shape, create a lush crown. PVC needles are the most durable, in addition, they do not ignite.
- From fishing line. Christmas trees from fishing line are rare today. Branches and needles from this material are quite prickly. The advantages include the fact that the material is strong, durable, it does not cake and does not wrinkle.
- fiber optic. Fiber optic threads are embedded in the branches of such trees. Such Christmas trees glow because they receive power through an adapter. They are safe, since the incoming voltage is not more than 12 W, while such trees do not need to be decorated with garlands.
Often there are combined options made of PVC, with molded elements, garlands, etc.
Artificial spruces differ among themselves and in the type of assembly. They are:
- With articulated mechanism (frame assembly). The Christmas tree consists of several parts, the branches are initially fixed to the frame. This option is the most convenient in storage and assembly.
- With a collapsible mechanism (stem assembly). The frame of such fir trees can be collapsible or monolithic, while the branches must be fixed with special hooks. Installation takes about 15-20 minutes, which is a lot.
- With a non-separable mechanism (cast assembly). Such spruces are most often small (up to 1 meter). Removable in them can only be a stand. They are not very convenient to transport and store.
Branches can be attached to the trunk in different ways:
- On hooks. Attached by hand. Each branch has a marking that simplifies assembly.
- On hinges. They open on their own like an umbrella.
- On the wire. After installation, the branches are simply straightened, thereby giving the desired shape.
According to the silhouette of spruce are:
- Classic. A-silhouette most closely resembles a natural counterpart.
- Narrow. Such models are characterized by lush, but shortened branches.
- compact. The branches of the lower tier are shorter, while the length of the branches of other tiers is preserved.
- non-standard. This includes any design and original options for Christmas trees: wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, made of wood, metal, etc.
Of all the variety of artificial fir trees, it is not so easy to choose the very beauty that will decorate the house for the New Year holidays. The editors of the KP decided to make the task easier for their readers and made their own rating of artificial Christmas trees.
