Let's talk about home decoration panels!

New homes need renovations, and older homes need refurbishment. Whether it's a new home or renovations, both require extensive use of artificial wood panels. So, how much do you know about the panels commonly used in home renovations? Today, we'll discuss the various aspects of home renovation panels. We hope this helps.

First of all, let’s talk about the types of artificial boards.

Currently, the boards on the market can be divided into two categories: [solid wood boards] and [artificial boards].

There are many types of solid wood boards depending on the wood used, such as fir, oak, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

Today's protagonist is [artificial board].

Artificial boards are divided into particleboard, medium-density fiberboard, plywood, etc. according to the different core materials.

Among them, [particle board] is what we often call [particle board], which is also the commonly used board for various types of custom furniture.

Medium Density Fiberboard is a particleboard among particleboards. It is made by pressing wood powder that is more broken and finer than particleboard.

This type of board has low strength, is not strong, and is not moisture-proof, but it is easy to shape and can be arranged into various patterns, so it is generally used in cabinet doors.

[Plywood], also known as multi-layer solid wood composite board, is made by cutting wood into sheets and then gluing them together.

This type of board has high strength and good moisture resistance.

The [blockboard] commonly used by carpenters is a type of plywood.

However, the current market has a serious difference in quality and price. Expensive boards are very expensive, while cheap boards are more expensive than you can imagine... There is a serious polarization, and there is a phenomenon of selling inferior products as good ones. Be careful when purchasing.

The commonly used finishes for artificial boards are: melamine impregnated film paper, PVC lamination, baking paint, solid wood veneer, glass finish, etc.

Among them, melamine impregnated film paper is the most common artificial board finishing on the market.

Simply put, it is to stick a layer of film on the board core and print various texture patterns on the film to achieve a decorative effect.

This finish is often used in conjunction with [particle board (grain board)]. Most of the custom cabinets we come across are a combination of "melamine impregnated film paper + particle board".

PVC coated finishes are often seen on Western-style cabinet door decorations and are a perfect match with [medium-density fiberboard].

It has a soft feel, lifelike patterns, a good sense of convexity and concavity, beautiful shapes and a relatively reasonable price.

The paint finish is very different from the previous two, and the biggest difference is... it's expensive!

The paint finish is based on density board. The surface is polished six to nine times (the number of times varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. The more times, the higher the process requirements and the higher the cost), primed, dried, polished (three bases, two sides, one gloss) and baked at high temperature.

Painted wood veneer panels can be divided into three types: glossy, matte and metallic paint.

Solid wood veneer is to stick wood veneer on particle board or medium-density fiberboard, seal the edges and then paint it.

There are many types of solid wood veneers on the market now, such as walnut, sapele, ash, beech, cherry, maple, rosewood, Thai pomelo, etc.

The perfect match for Chinese furniture!
