Shaan-HolidaysSuppose you want a winter wonderland in the home this festive season. In that case, you have the choice of buying a frosted or flocked artificial Christmas tree. Both are attractive options as they are covered with snow. But what are the differences between the two faux trees, and what makes each special?
Frosted or Flocked
Both the artificial Christmas trees are covered with a snow substance. The difference is the amount of snow used on the branches. The frosted tree is covered in less snow and looks like your tree outside on a cold morning with a glittering shimmer while the green of the branch is still noticeable.
On the other hand, the frosted tree looks like a snow blizzard, leaving the whole tree covered in white snow. Still, as you assemble these trees, snow will drop when you fluff up the branches. Therefore, it is normal for these trees to shed some material.
Once you finish fluffing, you can hoover it up using your vacuum. Still, most of these trees are over-flocked to provide the best results when completing the fluffing and still have a lot of snow. Yet, it does not mean everything will drop off during the setup process.
You need not panic as it feels like all the snow is falling off the branches, but plenty is still to give you a magical snow display. Once you stop fluffing, it will stop falling and only discover more once you put your tree away.
Spend Time Fluffing Your Tree
With your trusty vacuum by your side and keeping the kids and pets away, setting up the tree becomes a breeze. You can clean as you go. Furthermore, it is best to keep animals away as the snowy substance can cause toxicity if ingested.
Another important thing is to spend a lot of time fluffing the frosted and flocked artificial Christmas trees. Fluffing helps as some branches might be caught together, but you can pull them apart when you fluff. So, do not be put off because snow is falling off the tree branches. It is normal.
Trees are Flocked in Different Ways
You want a tree that looks realistic, so when choosing a flocked tree covered with snow, it can be done in different ways. So, what is the best type of flocking? For us, it looks the most natural, similar to real snow.
If you want a tree covered in light snow, we recommend looking for one with the flocking sitting on top of the branches. These look like small pockets with trapped snow as if it falls from above. If you prefer your flocked artificial Christmas tree to look like it has come out of the winter forest.
Then the branches sweeping downwards need to have a thick snow cover, making them look heavier. No matter which tree you choose, the frosted and flocked faux trees make great home additions.
