2025-11-04

Faced with an increasingly complex competitive environment, the wood-based panel industry has been employing various strategies, from environmental protection to health, all creating a booming sales scene. However, with an ever-growing variety of wood-based panel products, consumers are often confused. Which panel is truly the best fit for their needs? According to experts from Wood-based Panel Network, every type of wood-based panel has its own advantages and disadvantages, and these advantages and disadvantages also determine its applicable scope. Only by understanding the strengths and weaknesses of these products can consumers avoid being misled by merchants and choose the right product for themselves, saving money. So what are you waiting for? Let's take a look!

Advantages of decorative panel products

There are many types of decorative boards available. Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is currently the most commonly used board in kitchens, making it ideal for cabinetry. It's made from pressed wood powder and has a very smooth surface. Particleboard is made from pulverized wood that has been pressed using a special process, resulting in better nail-holding power, which is its biggest advantage. Blockboard's biggest advantage is its strong moisture resistance and decent water resistance, making it a very common and frequently used board in decoration. It can be used not only for furniture but also for many other decorative items. Engineered wood panels, as a relatively new decorative material, have already entered the market... The market has attracted consumer attention because it is made of solid wood and uses imported timber. Such board products are indeed environmentally friendly, with formaldehyde content only one-eighth that of plywood, which almost meets the national minimum inspection standards. This technology alone can outperform all other board products. However, the price is also very considerable. The name of this type of board varies depending on the number of layers. However, the veneer plywood we are introducing is a very convenient board product with a very reasonable price. The solid wood veneer has been applied to the plywood, forming a beautiful appearance.

Disadvantages of decorative panel products

Although medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is widely accepted by consumers, its poor moisture resistance makes it unsuitable for many places, such as southern regions and kitchens, where good moisture resistance is essential. MDF also has its own drawbacks; due to its poor nail-holding power, screws are difficult to re-secure once they loosen, making it unsuitable for use as cabinet bodies.
