However, there are all kinds of brands customized for the whole house in the market, and each family is even more varied when promoting plates. For young people who choose a house for the first time, it is difficult to distinguish which is good and which is not.
So what should we choose in the face of so many plates?
The following Xiaochao will share with you what plates are available in the whole house customization on the market, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each plate.
First of all, there are only two kinds of materials: solid wood board and man-made board.
Solid wood board
Solid wood board: As the name implies, it is a board made of complete wood (logs).
But this kind of board is not the best choice for the whole house customization, because the natural growth, size, hardness and other aspects of solid wood are not uniform, and the natural properties of dry shrinkage and wet expansion are particularly obvious. If it is not treated or improperly treated, it will be affected by temperature and humidity during use, and it is easy to produce various phenomena such as warping and cracking. Therefore, when choosing the whole house customization, it is not recommended to choose solid wood panels. The price is high, but the effect is not necessarily good. Especially in the northern winter, when the heating is on, the temperature at home is dry and the climate is dry, which is easy to crack.
Wood board
Wood-based panels: Compared with solid wood panels, wood-based panels are processed, including particleboard, fiberboard, joinery board and hollow board. , all belong to wood-based panels.
Nowadays, wood-based panels are widely used in customized homes. There are mainly particleboard (also called solid wood particle board), medium density fiberboard (also called density board), solid wood multilayer board, solid wood finger joint board, joinery board and so on.
1. particleboard (also called solid wood particleboard)
Solid wood particle board is mainly made of small diameter wood, thinning wood, wood core, veneer, branch wood and so on. It is broken and compressed. This kind of plate is widely used in custom furniture industry. Its advantage is that it uses natural wood and its density is relatively high. Not easy to deform; The nail grip is good, and it can be disassembled and assembled many times. But the disadvantage is that the plasticity is poor, and it can only be made into a flat plate, and the surface cannot be formed.
2. MDF (also known as MDF)
Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is mainly made of branch, end and small diameter wood, which is processed into fibers and then made at high temperature and high pressure. The advantage of this board is that it can be painted: all kinds of paints and paints can be evenly coated on MDF; Good physical properties and uniform materials; Milling can be carried out; The disadvantage is that the secondary nail holding force is poor; The powder gum content is relatively high, and the formaldehyde content is relatively high. Therefore, in the customization industry, this kind of plate is mainly used for the door panels of cabinets.
3. Solid wood multilayer board
Solid wood multi-layer board adopts fast-growing log base materials, such as camphor, willow, poplar and eucalyptus. , and then cut the wood ends into veneers or thin wood with a wood square plane, and then glue them with adhesive. Usually, they are made of odd-numbered veneers, and the fibers of adjacent veneers are safely glued vertically to each other. The advantage of this kind of board is high cost performance (compared with pure solid wood); Good stability: cross structure; Excellent environmental protection performance: wood-based panels with the least amount of glue; Good moisture resistance: low water absorption and expansion coefficient. His disadvantage is high cost, and plywood is not as smooth as MDF. When plywood is used as the base and decorative boards such as fireproof boards and aluminum-plastic boards are pasted on the surface, it is not as strong as medium density fiberboard. In the customization industry, this kind of plate is also widely used, but the price is high and there are many cabinets.
4. Solid wood finger joint board
Solid wood finger joint plate is mainly made of poplar core and Chinese fir core, and its advantages are good strength: it is not easy to deform; Environmental protection: less glue; Good nail grip: poplar core, Chinese fir core and solid wood are tight. This kind of plate is rarely used in customization.
5. Core plywood
The blockboard is made of poplar, birch, pine, paulownia, poplar and birch. , made of two veneers glued together in the middle. The advantages of this plate are: hard texture; Simple processing: solid wood strips are used inside, which has low requirements for processing equipment. Its disadvantages are variability and high price.
Now customize the common plates on the market, and Xiaochao will share them here, hoping to help everyone. Can be used as a reference, according to their own needs and home improvement budget to choose.
