Is it necessary to bandage the edges of the boards?

In recent years, with the rapid development of the real estate industry in China, a variety of building materials products have emerged. Today, we will explain the edge banding of boards, an important component of customized products. With the rapid rise of the customized industry, brands and products have also emerged. However, what they all have in common is that the boards they use are all artificial composite boards. Among the various types of composite boards, the most important component is the edge banding of the boards.

The quality of edge banding on boards can determine the overall quality of the board brand and whether the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard. Why? Because most boards on the market are made of synthetic materials, and these boards are processed with glue. The quality of glue varies; some brands use high-quality glue while others use low-quality glue. Inferior glue has a high formaldehyde content and is more volatile. Generally, formaldehyde volatilizes at 19-22 degrees Celsius at room temperature. If the edge banding is not good, it may peel off over time, allowing the formaldehyde and glue inside to come into contact with the air and release harmful gases. This is why many homes have formaldehyde levels that are within the standard range initially after installation, but develop formaldehyde volatilization after prolonged use. To avoid this problem, we will teach you how to distinguish between good and bad edge banding.

I. Question

Ask the seller where the boards are manufactured, because generally the better large-scale machines are located in Guangdong, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Chongqing. Then, regarding edge banding machines, the best board processing machines on the market are from Germany.

II. Look

Good edge banding is molded in one piece, and there is no damage or edge breakage on the surface that directly contacts the board.

III. Touch

A well-treated edge banding strip will not feel sharp or scratchy to the touch because the edge banding chamfering process involves a special rounding treatment.

IV. Deduction

An edge banding strip that fails the sealing process is absolutely substandard. Many unscrupulous merchants now use adhesive strips for edge banding. To avoid such defective products falling into our hands, sealing is a crucial step.

During the process of decorating a new house, we all need to make furniture, choosing either a skilled carpenter to build a wardrobe or opting for custom-made furniture. However, regardless of the choice, issues such as wardrobe design, material selection, and edge banding of the boards will arise. So, is edge banding important? If we've already chosen environmentally friendly E0-grade ecological boards, is edge banding still necessary? The answer is yes.
