Winter temperatures drop sharply, and wood panels are susceptible to the effects of climate and the environment, causing them to swell and shrink, which in turn causes changes in moisture content, leading to cracking and deformation. Therefore, to effectively prevent cracking and deformation, proper wood panel maintenance is essential. To properly maintain wood panels, we must first understand the primary cause of cracking: moisture content.
The change in moisture content is the main cause of cracking in the board. The moisture content inside the board will maintain a balance value to adapt to the environment.
When the moisture content of the board decreases, the board will absorb moisture in the air, causing expansion and deformation; when the moisture content of the board becomes higher, the dry air will absorb moisture from the board, causing the board to shrink in volume and crack.
Tips for Preserving Plates
Reasonable humidification
A common method is to place a humidifier or place plants that are beneficial to indoor moisture retention, such as green radish and lucky bamboo. However, do not over-humidify, otherwise the board will expand, deform, and other problems. The humidity is generally suitable to be controlled at 40%-60%.
Keep away from heat
In the freezing winter, some customers worry that their wood panels will freeze, so they use heaters to warm them. However, they don't realize that wood panels are also sensitive to high temperatures. Long-term high-temperature heating can easily cause them to lose moisture, leading to local cracking and deformation. Therefore, if you use a heater to heat the panels, keep a certain distance between them and the heater to avoid damage due to excessive heating.
Avoid direct sunlight
Although the winter sun is not as strong as in the summer, the long-term sun exposure, coupled with the dry climate, will make it easier for cracks and partial fading to occur. Therefore, it is best to cover the surface of the board with a layer of protective film.
Pay attention to surface maintenance
Avoid placing heavy objects for a long time, as this may cause the furniture to be subjected to excessive external force and deform and crack. When placing heavy objects for a short period of time, place a soft cloth under the heavy objects. Avoid contact of corrosive chemicals such as acids and alkalis with the surface of the furniture.
Adjust the temperature appropriately
After the heating system is turned on in the north, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, which can cause furniture panels to crack and deform. Generally speaking, the indoor temperature is best kept below 28°C. Depending on the temperature change, the height of the panel furniture should be appropriately raised from the ground.
Reduce window ventilation
Indoor humidity is higher than outdoor humidity in winter, and opening windows for ventilation will make the room even drier. For panels placed indoors, the time and frequency of window openings should be reduced to maintain appropriate humidity, and panels should be avoided from being placed in ventilation holes.
Fear of cracking choose them
The south has a rainy and humid climate, so it's important to keep the home dry to prevent mold. The north has a dry and cold climate, so it's important to maintain humidity to prevent cracking and deformation. Are there any recommendations for wood panels suitable for both the north and south?
LSB's exclusive high-end panels are specifically designed to maintain a stable internal moisture content within the 8-16% golden range for finished panels. Third-party testing by a reputable testing agency shows a 24-hour water absorption thickness expansion rate of 5.3%, exceeding national standards and suitable for use in humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens.
The decorative energy board veneer series uses high-quality eucalyptus as the base material, and the core material adopts a multi-layer structure. The upper and lower surfaces are paved with imported pine wood shavings. After high-temperature hot pressing, it can perfectly lock in 8-16% golden moisture content. It can not only better adapt to climate changes, but also effectively improve the stability of the board and effectively resist cracking and splitting.
F-OSB2 force decorative panels are made of carefully selected high-quality pine wood from the 34°-47° south latitude area. They are processed into slender long flakes of uniform thickness using advanced long-wood chipping machines. They are directional laid in a five-layer structure and formed into one piece through high-temperature hot pressing. They have greatly upgraded stability and are more resistant to deformation and cracking, making them very suitable for making door and wall panels with high requirements.
The storage and maintenance of boards are crucial, and their selection and use require even greater caution. Qiannianzhou begins with the selection of raw materials, undergoes manual curing, refinement, and precision manufacturing, and rigorously controls every step. Each finished product undergoes comprehensive testing, all in our pursuit of creating healthy boards that embody culture, technology, and style, enabling us to build a better life with high-quality boards.
