The untold secrets of custom-made furniture using eco-friendly boards!
With the arrival of the new family era for those born in the 1980s and 1990s, more and more people are choosing to customize furniture using eco-friendly boards.
Materials used in panel furniture include: eco-board, particleboard, plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and chipboard. So, what's the secret behind eco-board becoming the preferred material for custom furniture among young people? What are the advantages and disadvantages of choosing eco-board for custom panel furniture? Let's explore the secrets.
I. Advantages
Advantages
1. Make full and effective use of timber
To better protect the environment, conserve timber, and maximize its utilization, solid wood eco-boards use solid wood as the core material and are processed through specific procedures, reducing timber waste and promoting sustainable ecological development.
2. No paint required, easy to assemble and disassemble
Because eco-friendly boards eliminate the need for paint and are connected by metal hardware, they are easy to install and disassemble, greatly improving the renovation progress and reducing unnecessary renovation costs.
3. Diverse decoration styles
Eco-friendly boards come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, offering a range of decorating styles to choose from, including Chinese, European, modern minimalist, and pastoral styles.
4. Stable shape, not easily deformed
Solid wood furniture, without any treatment, is easily deformed by factors such as temperature and humidity. However, eco-friendly board furniture undergoes special processing, making it less prone to deformation and more stable.
5. Environmental protection and safety
Reputable brand manufacturers mostly use high-temperature hot and cold pressing technology, and ecological boards use non-formaldehyde thermoplastic resin instead of glue, which has stricter environmental protection standards and stronger and more stable adhesion.
II. Disadvantages
1. Unnatural surface pattern
Some consumers who choose solid wood eco-board custom-made panel furniture experience severe fading of their wardrobes after two or three years.
Reason: Small ecological board brands choose pigment paper as the decorative paper, which is naturally of lower quality than ink paper, is more prone to fading and lacks a natural feel in the pattern.
Solution: Choose Pansen Ecological Board. Because we choose eco-friendly decorative paper printed with ink, it not only has a harmonious and beautiful pattern, but also, after years of use, Pansen Ecological Board is more resistant to fading, high temperature, and scratches.
2. Environmental protection index fails to meet standards.
Reason: In order to maximize profits, some unscrupulous board manufacturers use inferior materials and substandard glues to produce eco-boards, which are prone to releasing harmful substances such as formaldehyde. They are not environmentally compliant, and their quality and after-sales service cannot be guaranteed.
Solution: Choose branded environmentally friendly boards. Select one of the top ten board brands recognized in the industry, such as Pansen Ecological Board.
Do you know the advantages of eco-friendly boards?
Ecological board has several names in the industry, the most common being melamine board and melamine board. It was originally called melamine board, but due to the dairy contamination incident in China, it was forced to change its name, and is now generally referred to as melamine board in the industry. It is also sometimes called ecological board, but ecological board is too general a term.
"Ecological board" is one of the resin adhesives used to manufacture this type of board. Paper with different colors or textures is soaked in resin, dried to a certain degree of curing, and then laid on the surface of a substrate. It is then hot-pressed to form a decorative board. The standard name is ecological board impregnated paper-faced artificial board. Calling it ecological board actually refers to part of its decorative component.
Eco-friendly boards are relatively stable. Whether eco-friendly boards used in furniture making pollute the air depends on the base material used. If the formaldehyde emission of the base material meets environmental standards, the eco-friendly board will not exacerbate material pollution. Eco-friendly boards have no odor; any odor comes from lower-quality medium-density fiberboard or additives containing formaldehyde or other substances.
●●●Eco-friendly board is waterproof and moisture-proof
Particleboard and MDF are currently the main materials used in furniture, but because they are not waterproof and only moisture-proof, they cause headaches for consumers when used in cabinets, especially bathroom panels. However, the base material of paint-free ecological board is waterproof solid wood multilayer board, which makes up for this defect.
●●●Eco-friendly boards have good nail-holding power
The nail-holding power of melamine-faced eco-board is much stronger than that of particleboard and MDF. In the use of furniture, once particleboard or MDF furniture is damaged in a certain place, it is difficult to repair, especially if an office drawer is damaged. However, if a part of melamine-faced eco-board furniture is damaged, it can be repaired by yourself immediately.
●●● Eco-friendly boards save time and effort
Currently, home decoration often involves attaching veneer to plywood and then painting the surface, which is not only costly but also difficult to be environmentally friendly. After the renovation is completed, it takes a long time before one can move in. In contrast, paint-free eco-boards allow for direct occupancy after furniture and decoration are made, saving costs and significantly shortening the move-in time.
●●●● Eco-friendly boards are in line with current trends and are durable.
Because Chinese consumers love solid wood furniture, and particleboard and MDF are made from recycled materials, furniture made from them is increasingly unsuitable for customer preferences. Furniture made from melamine-faced eco-friendly boards, on the other hand, is more personalized, aligns with market trends, and satisfies consumers' pursuit of taste.
The surface of the eco-board has been treated to be heat-resistant, scratch-resistant, and corrosion-resistant. The surface color will not fade and the wear resistance is higher than that of ordinary boards.
