Cast beauty:
all about modern artificial Christmas trees 
Automatic translate
The tradition of decorating houses with coniferous trees dates back to ancient times. But natural spruce and pine trees are not always available or practical. Therefore, people came up with their artificial analogues.
The first mention of artificial Christmas trees dates back to the 1800s in Germany. They were then made from goose feathers painted with green paint. In the 1880s, models made of wooden and metal rods appeared. And by 1930, the German company Addis began mass producing them from papier-mâché.
Today, the choice of materials for Christmas trees is almost limitless. Let’s look at the main types of modern cast models.
Variety of modern cast Christmas trees
Today, artificial Christmas tree production technologies make it possible to realize any fantasies and create real winter magic in your home. Let’s look at the three most popular types to determine their features.
Christmas trees made of PVC film
They are the most affordable and popular. They are made from film and are budget models.
Cast Christmas trees
They feature a realistic imitation of natural branches. Lightweight, inexpensive, durable. The only negative is the low environmental friendliness of the materials. They create a feeling of real classics and luxury. They are made from plastic branches cast in special molds, which are indistinguishable from the legs of natural spruce. They can withstand heavy loads and do not fade in the sun. But they have a high price and weight.
If you are ready to buy a premium cast Christmas tree and have no doubt about its durability, we recommend paying attention to such models.
Wooden
Eco-friendly and natural option. Made from solid wood or plywood. Easy to assemble and disassemble. But they require careful handling and protection from moisture.
How to choose the best option
To make the right choice, it is worth considering several key criteria:
- Size. Determined by the area of the room and the height of the ceilings.
- Material. Affects the appearance, weight, strength and cost of the tree.
- Realism. The denser and more voluminous the imitation of pine needles, the more natural the tree will look.
- Budget. Prices range from 1,000 to 50,000 rubles.
The main thing is to choose the optimal ratio of parameters for your needs.
