Are your custom-made furniture cabinet doors prone to warping? Here's how to prevent it!

Wardrobes are among the most eye-catching elements in home decoration, besides ceilings and feature walls. With the increasing popularity of custom-made furniture, custom wardrobes have become a must-have for every household. However, we often see many people online complaining that their wardrobes have warped shortly after installation, or even before they've moved in.

(Image source: Internet) Some wardrobes have warped door panels, some have warped side panels, and some have warped the entire wardrobe. Among these, the most common problem is warped wardrobe door panels, especially for tall wardrobes that reach the ceiling.

What are the reasons for warped wardrobe doors in your home? Generally speaking, there are four main reasons for wardrobe door warping: 1. Material: In modern decoration, cabinet doors are mostly made of wood panels. Wood panels typically have the characteristics of shrinking and expanding with moisture. Wardrobe doors are relatively large and tall, with fewer fixing points, making them very prone to warping, curling, and cracking. 2. Design and Structure: Whether the cabinet door design and structure are reasonable, whether the stress is evenly distributed, whether the manufacturing process follows the required procedures, whether the adhesive has fully cured, and whether transportation and placement meet requirements are all important reasons for door warping. 3. Moisture: High moisture content in wood is also a major cause of wardrobe door warping. As the moisture content decreases during use, the internal stress of the wood gradually becomes apparent, eventually leading to warping and cracking. 4. Size: With the increasing popularity of minimalist and luxurious interior design styles, floor-to-ceiling cabinet door designs are becoming more common. Larger door panels have a relatively higher potential risk of warping.

So, which type of board material should be chosen to avoid cabinet door warping? From a mechanical perspective, board warping is a result of internal stress release, especially in extra-long boards, which are very prone to warping over time. The development of Huajie Lixin Board offers a novel solution to this problem. Huajie addresses the root cause by changing the way solid wood cores are combined, replacing the original multi-layered horizontal planks with vertically arranged multi-layered planks. This cleverly utilizes the principle of "standing wood supporting a thousand pounds," fundamentally improving the board's compressive strength and load-bearing capacity, thus solving the warping issue. Huajie Lixin Board's extra-high boards are available in large sizes ranging from 2.85m to 3.05m, allowing for a door to reach the ceiling without any issues.

In addition, Huajie Lixin board has strong physical properties. The board’s resistance to deformation, moisture resistance and nail holding power have been further improved and upgraded. Whether in terms of material or process, it can meet the requirements of modern floor-to-ceiling home door panel design for excellence and high quality. It also meets the ENF environmental protection level, so you can use it with peace of mind.
