This is a complex topic, and it's easy for beginners without renovation experience to fall into a trap. Today, let's discuss the selection of panels for custom furniture!
particle board
Particle board is made from wood or wood processing residues as raw materials, which are processed into shavings, glued, assembled into blanks, and then hot-pressed under a certain temperature and pressure to form a board.
advantage:
It has favorable price, heat insulation and sound absorption, smooth surface, high hardness and not easy to deform. It is a commonly used board in furniture factories.
shortcoming:
It has a high density, rough edges and is easy to absorb moisture.
Applicable scenarios:
Commonly used in the manufacture of suspended ceilings, ordinary furniture (such as wardrobes and cabinets), etc.
OSB
OSB is oriented wood strands, which are boards formed by drying, gluing, directionally paving and hot pressing the shavings into a certain geometric shape.
advantage:
It has high strength, good toughness, strong nail holding force, is not easy to deform and crack, and has good environmental performance.
shortcoming:
The surface is rough and has a slight odor.
Applicable scenarios:
Can be used as a cabinet.
Multilayer board
Multi-layer board is a three-layer or multi-layer board material made by peeling wood segments into veneers or planing wood blocks into veneers, and then gluing them together with adhesive. It is usually an odd number of layers, and the fibers of adjacent veneers are glued perpendicular to each other.
advantage:
It has strong tensile strength, clear lines, strong nail holding power, good transverse tensile strength, and is easy to process.
shortcoming:
It is not advisable to make cabinet door panels that are too high.
Applicable scenarios:
It can be used in bathroom panels, cabinet panels, and furniture panels.
Ecological board
Eco-board is made by cutting logs into strips, splicing and gluing them into a core, laying veneer paper on the surface of the core board, and then hot pressing it.
advantage:
High strength, strong nail holding power, low moisture content, easy processing and wide range of uses.
shortcoming:
The trimming edges are prone to cracking.
Applicable scenarios:
The carpenter made the cabinets on site.
density board
The full name of density board is density fiberboard, which is made of wood fiber or other plant fiber as raw materials. It is prepared by fiber preparation, applied with synthetic resin, and pressed into a board under heating and pressure conditions.
advantage:
Easy to process, easy to shape, and high flatness.
shortcoming:
It is easy to deform, has poor nail holding power, is not environmentally friendly, and expands when exposed to water.
Applicable scenarios:
It has a wide range of uses in construction, furniture manufacturing, such as wall panels, floors, cement formwork, ceilings, hollow door panels, furniture panels, etc.
The above-mentioned several commonly used boards for custom furniture each have their own advantages and disadvantages. You can choose according to your actual requirements.
