Never choose this kind of board for your bedroom wardrobe. The formaldehyde smell will not go away even after a year. You will regret it later!

After a house is renovated, it usually needs to be ventilated for two to three months before moving in. This is because there is formaldehyde indoors, which is a toxic gas. If people are exposed to an environment containing formaldehyde for a long time, it will cause harm to the body. So, where does the formaldehyde in the house come from? Indoor formaldehyde may be emitted from the paint on the wall or from the decoration materials. In general, formaldehyde is emitted from the decoration board. Next, I will talk about the formaldehyde problem in the board on the market.

Currently, the wood panels available on the market can be primarily categorized as laminate and blockboard. Laminated wood refers to a solid wood panel made by splicing together processed small pieces of solid wood; blockboard is a decorative panel made by squeezing two veneer sheets together with glue. Due to the significant differences in the processing methods and materials used in laminate and blockboard, the formaldehyde content and volatilization rates of these two types of panels differ.

Integrated boards contain higher levels of formaldehyde, and the formaldehyde in them is more volatile. This is because the jagged edges of the integrated boards create gaps between the boards, through which formaldehyde molecules can evaporate. However, due to the tighter construction of blockboard, the formaldehyde contained in it is less likely to evaporate, and the time it takes to evaporate is significant, posing environmental concerns. Blockboard, however, does have its advantages, such as being easier to paint and having a longer lifespan.

Based on the above introduction to the two different types of wood panels, it's easy to draw a conclusion. Families who want to move into their new home as soon as possible and don't want to wait too long can choose the more environmentally friendly integrated wood panels. Families who aren't in a rush can also choose the finely crafted blockboard. In short, from an environmental perspective, integrated wood panels are a better choice than blockboard.
