Today I want to talk to you about a small detail in home decoration that is easily overlooked but actually carries hidden risks - furniture edge banding!
Do you think edge banding is just that inconspicuous line along the edge of furniture, just for decoration and to prevent scratches? No, no, no! Choosing the wrong edge banding can actually become a safety hazard in your home!
01\ The crisis is hidden in the details!
Why does such a small component, which clearly protects furniture edges from wear and tear, sometimes become a safety hazard? The problem mainly stems from the following aspects:
1. Material risk:
Inferior edge banding may contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene, which can cause harm to human health if released for a long time.
2. Edge damage:
Unqualified edge banding strips are processed roughly, easily scratch the skin, and pose many safety hazards.
3. Stability risks:
Some edge banding strips are not firmly glued and fall off during use, which greatly affects the aesthetics of the furniture.
Huajie 0-lead furniture edging strips have been tested and each one is 0-lead, 0-aldehyde, and 0-benzene, healthy, safe, wear-resistant and durable!
02\ The impact of inferior edge banding on health
Inferior edge banding contains many chemicals, free heavy metals, and potential formaldehyde and benzene exceeding the standard, which pose a serious threat to our health and cause irreversible harm to our family members, especially the elderly and children.
Free heavy metals are not easily biodegradable and can accumulate in the human body through the food chain and in human organs, causing chronic poisoning. For example, lead poisoning can seriously affect the nervous system, hematopoietic function, digestive system, kidneys, cardiovascular system, and endocrine system. Symptoms include decreased intelligence, sensory dysfunction, decreased motor ability, and slowed nerve conduction.
03\ How to avoid “hidden crisis”?
Inferior edge banding will not only damage the furniture itself, affecting its aesthetics and durability, but also endanger the health of the occupants. So, how should we avoid these "hidden crises"?
1. Careful selection:
When buying furniture, don't just look at the appearance and price, but also pay attention to the quality and test report of the edge banding. Choose Huajie 0-lead furniture edging strips, which are more environmentally friendly and more reliable!
2. Check in person:
After receiving the furniture, do not rush to put it in use. First check the installation quality and edge treatment of the edge strips yourself.
3. Maintain ventilation:
Remember to open windows more often to ventilate and accelerate the volatilization of harmful gases.
4. Regular maintenance:
Inspect and maintain furniture regularly, and repair edge banding if it is found to be loose or damaged.
