The peak season for home renovation, known as "Golden September and Silver October," has arrived.
When it comes to home renovation, in addition to budget and renovation effect, people are more concerned about the environmental friendliness and durability of the building materials.
Today, Dinglida will guide you through the advantages and disadvantages of various boards used in cabinet making, providing you with a reference for your home decoration.
The main types of boards used for making cabinets in home decoration are: MDF, particleboard, multi-layer solid wood board, solid wood eco-board, and solid wood board.
1. Medium-density fiberboard (MDF): also known as fiberboard, it is a type of engineered wood product made by soaking wood, branches, or other materials in water, followed by hot grinding, laying, and hot pressing. It is made from wood fibers or other plant fibers as raw materials and bonded with urea-formaldehyde resin or other suitable adhesives.
Advantages of MDF:
It has good sound insulation, impact resistance, high strength, uniform density, high surface flatness, and is easy to reprocess.
Disadvantages of MDF:
Poor waterproof and moisture-resistant properties, weak nail-holding power, and if the screws loosen after being tightened, they are difficult to re-secure.
Environmental performance:
Due to the special nature of its processing, it is unavoidable that some benzene and formaldehyde will remain, resulting in low environmental friendliness.
Intended use:
It's rarely used in home decoration; it's mostly used for solid-color glossy paint and veneer to make low-end finished furniture.
Recommendation rating: ●●
2. Particleboard: also known as chipboard, particleboard, bagasse board, is a type of engineered wood product made from wood chips or other lignocellulosic materials that are glued together with adhesives under heat and pressure.
Advantages of particleboard:
1. It has good sound absorption and sound insulation properties.
2. The interior has a cross-layered granular structure, with essentially the same performance in all directions, making it stable and non-deformable.
3. High surface flatness and small dimensional error
Disadvantages of particleboard:
1. Its internal structure is granular, making it difficult to mill.
2. The cutting process can easily cause chipping, so some processes require high-quality processing equipment; on-site fabrication is not recommended.
3. Poor moisture and water resistance, and low nail-holding power.
Environmental performance:
Because the raw materials are wood chips and wood scraps, bonded together with glue, a large amount of glue is used. The use of high-strength glue results in only average environmental performance, with environmental coefficients of E1 and E2.
Intended use:
Low- to mid-range panel furniture and custom furniture materials are not suitable for on-site fabrication during renovation.
Recommendation Index: ●●●
3. Solid wood multi-layer board: also known as plywood, is a board material made of veneers or thin boards rotary-cut from solid wood, which are dried, selected, glued, assembled, pre-pressed and hot-pressed. It usually has an odd number of veneer layers, with the fiber directions of adjacent veneers glued together perpendicular to each other.
Advantages of multi-layer solid wood boards:
1. Lightweight, with clear texture, insulating, high strength, and good stability.
2. Easy to construct, not prone to warping, and has good mechanical properties.
3. Flat surface, strong nail-holding power, not easy to split, good colorability, and easy to fix.
4. Excellent processing performance, suitable for industrial processing and on-site fabrication.
Disadvantages of multi-layer solid wood boards:
1. Significant thickness error: Due to the use of wood veneer, variations in veneer thickness and inconsistent pressure control during manufacturing result in variations in thickness. The industry average error is typically around 0.3 mm.
2. High cost and expensive construction
3. Labor-intensive products have a high dependence on manual labor and relatively low product quality stability.
Environmental performance:
It is made of solid wood veneer glued together. The grade of the glue determines its environmental protection level. Currently, the mainstream environmental protection level in the market is E1, while brand-name companies can achieve E0, which is relatively more environmentally friendly.
Intended use:
Mid-to-high-end custom furniture uses wood panels, solid wood customization combines materials, and wood panels are used in home decoration.
Recommendation Index: ●●●●
IV. Blockboard: Also known as core board, it is made by gluing and pressing two veneers together with a core of spliced wood strips. The core wood strips are made by drying wood planks, processing them into strips of a certain standard, and then splicing them together using a splicing machine. After splicing, two layers of high-quality veneer are covered on each side of the board, and then it is glued together using cold and hot presses.
Advantages of plywood:
1. Possessing the characteristics of natural wood, it is better suited to human natural needs.
2. It is lightweight, easy to process, and has good nail-holding power.
3. Excellent processing performance, suitable for industrial equipment and on-site fabrication.
Disadvantages of plywood:
1. Holes may appear when the board is cut open. This is because the core material is made of spliced wood boards, and depending on the grade of the core material, some gaps in the joints are unavoidable.
2. Large-sized door panels are prone to warping. Solid wood is characterized by expansion and contraction due to moisture and contraction due to dryness; this is a characteristic of solid wood.
Environmental performance:
The grade of adhesive used in the processing of boards directly affects their environmental performance. The mainstream environmental grades on the market are E1 and E0.
Applications: Home decoration boards, high-end whole-house customization boards
Recommendation Index: ●●●●●
V. Solid wood boards: Solid wood boards are boards made from whole pieces of wood (logs) through sawing, cutting, planing, and splicing.
Advantages of solid wood boards:
1. Furniture made of solid wood is sturdy, durable, and has a long lifespan.
2. The grain is natural and beautiful, and it has the unique aroma of natural wood.
3. It has good moisture absorption and breathability.
4. Excellent paintability and processing performance
Disadvantages of solid wood boards:
1. Difficult to maintain and prone to deformation: Solid wood furniture undergoes internal physical changes depending on climate and humidity, directly affecting its structure and appearance.
2. Prone to insect infestation; improper maintenance can lead to insect damage.
3. Flammable; please take fire prevention measures at home.
4. High cost and high price
Environmental performance:
It depends on the environmental protection level of the coating on the furniture surface; a higher environmental protection level...
Intended use:
Suitable for on-site crafting using traditional techniques, and industrialized production.

Having discussed the types of boards
Now let's talk about the environmental protection level of furniture boards.
In May 2018, the State Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the Standardization Administration of China officially released the revised GB18580-2017 "Formaldehyde Emission Limits in Wood-based Panels and Wood Products for Interior Decoration and Renovation", abolishing the E2 limit standard and stipulating the E1 standard for limit labeling, requiring a limit value of 0.124 mg/m³, to effectively protect the physical and mental health of consumers.
