After reading this article, I realized that there are actually several ways to choose wood panels.

In home decoration, the most commonly used material is wood-based panels. The emergence of artificial wood-based panels has made up for the shortcomings of solid wood in terms of price, moisture resistance, and deformation.

People might wonder, what exactly is "artificial board"?

A complete "man-made board" consists of three parts: a core material, a balancing layer, and a finishing layer. If we use a cake analogy, it's like this-

Core material ≈ cake base

Heavy oil, sponge cake, chiffon cake, muffin... Just like cake base, the material of the core material of the board determines the performance, stability and shape of the finished product.

Balance layer ≈ Cream layer

The board balancing layer attached to the outside of the core material is like the cream layer around the cake base. It fills in the rough pores and seams of the cake base, making the cake structure (actually the board material) more stable and beautiful.

Like chocolate-glazed cakes, some board materials have a balancing layer that gives the finished product better strength.

Finishing layer ≈ cake decoration

Cakes have beautiful finishes, and engineered wood panels are no exception. Designs that match customers' aesthetic tastes ensure that finished products are sold to countless households.

There are also many confusing names for various types of boards: MDF, particleboard, fiberboard, blockboard... Don't worry, we'll use a simple and easy-to-understand mnemonic to explain some common types of boards.

MDF ≈ Nagasaki cake

MDF, also known as fiberboard, is a type of engineered wood product made by breaking down tree trunks, branches, or other plant fibers, applying glue, laying them out, and hot-pressing them.

The appearance of MDF (medium-density fiberboard) is very similar to that of Nagasaki cakes, square and uniform in size. The uniformity, flatness, ease of lamination and milling of the board are exactly like the dense texture of Nagasaki cakes.

Particleboard ≈ Chiffon cake

Particleboard, also known as chipboard, is made by breaking down wood or wood rods, applying adhesives, and then bonding them together under heat and pressure. It features uniform density, good toughness, pre-processed properties, and high cost-effectiveness.

The particleboard has an appearance similar to a chiffon cake, with fine pores, a fluffy texture, and a moist and tender taste.

OSB board ≈ Napoleon cake

OSB board, also known as Oriented Strand Board, is made from wood raw materials processed into large planks using CNC equipment. It then undergoes processes such as degreasing, drying, directional laying, and hot pressing, resulting in a board with high water resistance and good environmental friendliness.

This pastry board looks remarkably like the puff pastry of a Napoleon cake; it can be plain or decorated. Multiple layers of puff pastry sandwiched with custard offer a delightfully light and smooth texture.

Multi-layer board ≈ Crepe cake

The closest thing to mille-feuille cakes and wafer biscuits is multi-layered bread.

The middle section of the wood is rotary-cut into veneers, which are then stacked and pressed together to form multi-layer boards with a high strength coefficient, making them stable and not easily deformed.

Ecological board ≈ cream cake

A beautiful finish is a characteristic of eco-friendly boards; colorful and flavorful cream is a hallmark of cream cakes.

Made with solid wood core as the base material and melamine facing paper, this eco-friendly board undergoes 46 processes and is characterized by its health and environmental friendliness, as well as its wear and scratch resistance. Like a cream cake, it is beautiful, stylish, and highly sought after.

Solid wood furniture structural panels ≈ fondant cake

Solid wood furniture structural panels are an innovative development based on eco-friendly panels, achieving an upgrade in panel structure. The products are suitable for whole-house customization, factory processing, and home decoration, possessing characteristics such as deformation resistance, impact resistance, solid wood core, and greater environmental friendliness.

The emergence of solid wood furniture structural panels is akin to the status of fondant cakes in the cake world. Exquisite craftsmanship and meticulous production are required to achieve true refinement and beauty.

So, using a cake as an analogy, do you now have a better understanding of building materials?

Choosing materials for home renovation isn't actually difficult. Understanding the structure and controlling quality at the source allows for quick judgment even in the most complex situations. There are countless options, but true environmental friendliness is paramount. Still too lazy to compare and choose even if you understand the basics? Then choose Penghong.

Here comes the important part.

Our solid wood furniture structural panels, with their innovative assembly structure, German surface technology, and high-quality product performance, have won two national patent certifications (ZL201521098787.6 and ZL201621338868.3).

In the factory production of customized home furnishings, imported automated production lines, combined with Hausser laser edge banding technology, give wings to the structural panels of solid wood furniture, resulting in new high-end home furnishing products.
