First-time buyers of building materials often have questions like, "What is Malacca?", "Is fir or poplar wood better?", and "How do I choose the right wood?"
Today, I will give you some basic knowledge about board substrates, hoping it will be helpful when you purchase building materials.
Everyone knows that boards are made from processed trees. Conventional boards mostly use fir, poplar, and Malacca, so we often hear the names of fir boards, poplar boards, and Malacca decks.
Understanding the characteristics of core materials will help us better choose boards. Next, let’s explain the properties of fir core, poplar core, and Malacca core respectively!
Fir core:
1. Natural wood: It has a natural wood fragrance and has many beneficial effects on the human body! The cedar alcohol particles contained in cedar furniture can sterilize, inhibit human viruses and bacteria, and have a suppressive effect on various skin inflammations. It also has health benefits such as fatigue relief and stress relief! It is relatively environmentally friendly and also has a unique aroma.
2. Pay attention to the selection of materials: During the growth process, the growth rate is very slow. The longer the wood grows, the better its quality.
3. No auxiliary agents are added: Furniture made of fir generally does not add any auxiliary agents, which can show the original color to the fullest. Therefore, fir furniture looks very natural and harmonious.
4. Uniform color: The lines of fir furniture are very beautiful, and the color distribution of fir furniture is also very uniform. Both the material and the texture are very excellent. Fir furniture is tough and light, and is the first choice for making furniture.
Poplar wood core:
1. High-quality properties: high strength, light material, good elasticity and toughness
2. Strong pressure resistance: nail holding ability, strong pressure resistance
3. Mild smell
4. Easy to process: easy to cut, no cracking, tight seams, no unevenness.
5. Economical and applicable: The price is relatively economical, and it is an economical and applicable board with a wide range of uses, a smooth surface, and is not easy to deform.
Malacca core:
1. Good processing performance: Malacca core board can be made into different shapes according to user needs, and its tensile and compressive properties are better than those of general solid wood materials.
2. It has the characteristics of anti-corrosion, acid and alkali resistance: it has the characteristics of anti-corrosion, flame retardant, fireproof, insect-proof, scratch-resistant, acid and alkali resistance.
3. Light weight: The deck material of the Malayan is lighter than ordinary boards, so it has great advantages in transportation and handling.
4. Not easy to deform and crack: It has the characteristics of not deforming and cracking. Because the material is relatively hard, it is easy to shape during processing.
5. Insect-proof: Malacca deck is usually used to make furniture such as closets and wardrobes. This type of board is not easily damp, so it has better insect-resistant performance.
