Are heavier boards always of better quality? Not at all!

2025-11-04

 Some consumers, when purchasing eco-friendly boards or custom-made panel furniture, are influenced by certain common misconceptions and societal misunderstandings. They subconsciously believe that the heavier the board, the better, judging quality solely by weight. But is it true that heavier boards are always better? Let's explore this topic together!

1. Regarding the weight of the boards, consumers should first understand that different materials result in different weights. This is because the weight of the boards is related to factors such as the density and moisture content of the wood. For ecological boards of the same standard, the weight comparison is (cedar > redwood > Malacca wood). However, heavier ecological boards are not necessarily of higher quality. Consumers must consider the characteristics of each type of board and their own requirements when making their selection. Heavier is not always better.
2. Smooth and even cut surfaces .

Standard eco-friendly boards are made of pressed solid wood, with tight joints in the core material and smooth, flat surfaces. In contrast, inferior eco-friendly boards have very rough internal materials with gaps in the middle, making them prone to warping and deformation. If non-environmentally friendly adhesives are used in the boards, they can also harm the home environment.


3. A good quality eco-board uses high-quality eco-paper veneer, with vibrant colors, clear textures, a realistic feel, and is resistant to fading and high temperatures. The pattern remains unchanged over the years, looking as good as new.
4. The cross-section of the board should be neat and clean, allowing a view of the board's internal structure. This is important evidence of the quality of the materials used in the board.
5. No pungent odor.

The biggest characteristic of genuine E0 eco-friendly boards is their environmental friendliness. Even when sawn open, the boards retain mostly the scent of natural wood, without any pungent or unpleasant odor. Fuqing uses a non-formaldehyde thermoplastic resin, formulated with core scientific technology, to replace traditional glues. This ensures health and environmental friendliness, with formaldehyde emissions lower than the European E0 standard and meeting the Japanese F4 star standard. Furthermore, the boards are regularly sent to the State Forestry Administration for authoritative testing, giving you peace of mind when buying and using them.
