How to avoid being ripped off? Home renovation novices, here's how to choose building materials!

More and more people are choosing customized home furnishings. Since you've chosen customization, you shouldn't overlook the materials. So how do you choose the materials?

Currently, the most commonly used boards on the market are particleboard and plywood. Among boards of the same grade, particleboard generally scores lower overall, while the other two types score higher, although prices will also differ. Furthermore, each type of board has an upper and lower limit, with particleboard having a higher lower limit. This is mainly due to its manufacturing process. For example, regarding the most important concern-environmental protection-particleboard uses the most glue, typically accounting for around 10% of its weight. Poor quality glue can directly lead to excessive formaldehyde emissions. This is why we repeatedly recommend choosing branded boards.

Multi-layer boards are also known as plywood. Many people say that multi-layer boards use a lot of glue, but in fact, the glue content of multi-layer boards is only about 3%.

There's a misconception here: does using more glue mean it's not environmentally friendly? Actually, this needs to be viewed dialectically. Some plywood uses inferior glue, while some particleboard uses good glue. So, when comparing products, we should use products of similar quality. Simply comparing the best particleboard with the worst plywood is unfair, like comparing a 100,000 yuan car with a 300,000 yuan car-it's impossible to compare them.

Secondly, there's the physical properties of the board itself. Because of the multi-layer stress structure of plywood, its physical properties are excellent among engineered wood products. It has strong nail-holding power and load-bearing capacity. It's used in many construction industries as structural panels. However, we're talking about interior decoration panels now. If it's for structural materials, you need to ask clearly.

The structure of plywood is made of solid wood strips in the middle and veneer on both sides. It is generally used for cabinet back panels, front panels, side panels and wooden doors.

In addition to the aforementioned boards, the substrate also includes oriented strand board (OSB). OSB raw materials are sourced from Canada and hot-pressed using DMI environmentally friendly adhesive, resulting in excellent environmental performance. It features a four-layer construction, with three layers oriented inwards, providing internal stability and resistance to deformation, as well as good impact resistance.

In summary, when customizing furniture, choosing well-known brands of wood-based panels is more reassuring.

With years of experience and a good reputation, TBB is a reliable choice for building materials. If you want to buy safe and reliable boards, TBB is a great option. If there isn't a dedicated store in your area, it's recommended to choose a local brand that has been operating for a long time and has a good reputation.

Finally, I wish everyone who is renovating a healthier and more comfortable living environment.
