Off-season prices rose aluminum alloy doors and windows, lamps, etc.

Recently, I visited the Tianhe Xilong Building Materials Commercial Market on Huangpu Avenue and the home improvement hardware stores along Taikang Road. I found that although the decoration is off-season, the prices of home improvement hardware products made of copper, aluminum, and iron as raw materials are higher than the same period of last year. With varying degrees of increase, the increase is at least 10% or more.

A hardware company's Miss Deng said that after the Spring Festival this year, the purchase price of hardware has risen by 10% to 20% from the beginning of the year, and it has not come down yet. “After years of buying hardware, guests complain that the price increase is too sudden.” Miss Deng also said that some of the hardware products based on copper and aluminum materials, prices rose by 30%. Taking the domestic aluminum alloy window as an example, about 240 to 250 yuan per square meter years ago, it has now risen to 320 to 340 yuan.

According to the author's understanding, metal-related lamps, sanitary ware, and other building materials are also rising prices, generally increasing by 10% to 15%.

As for the reasons for price increases, shop owners said that “the raw materials are expensive, and the wages of factory workers have also risen.” It is understood that since the end of 2005, the prices of commonly used metals such as copper and aluminum have been rising, directly affecting domestic hardware. The price of the material.
