Master these points and you can choose custom furniture panels yourself!

With rising economic levels and the trend of consumption upgrades, the demand for custom cabinets and wardrobes in China has gradually shifted from function-driven consumption to a focus on quality, emotional expression, and a focus on health and environmental protection. The demand for health-conscious consumption is particularly prominent. Therefore, choosing a green, stable, stylish, and cost-effective panel material for custom furniture has become a serious consideration for Chinese home renovations.

Currently, the furniture boards on the market mainly include plywood (ecological board, multi-layer board), particle board (particle board, OSB board), fiberboard (MDF) and other man-made board products.

Among them, multi-layer boards have the highest cost performance. So how do you distinguish the quality of multi-layer boards? Today, the editor will take you through the following four points to identify them.

1. Raw materials are easy to control, environmentally friendly and formaldehyde-free

In my country, formaldehyde emission standards for wood panels are primarily expressed through E1 and EO grades. The new national environmental standard for EO is a formaldehyde content of ≤0.050mg/m³, while the E1 grade is ≤0.124mg/m³. These grades are determined by formaldehyde emissions, so when choosing wood panels, choosing those with low formaldehyde emissions is naturally more environmentally friendly.

(Commonly used formaldehyde emission levels in China)

The raw material of the multi-layer board is the veneer after the wood is peeled, without any waste scraps, waste flooring, waste cardboard, soil, sand and gravel, etc. The raw material of the multi-layer board can be directly seen through the cross-section of the board, which is easier to control. The environmental protection level is rapidly improved after using formaldehyde-free glue.

02. Strong nail holding force and reusable

The quality stability of furniture panels is often reflected in their nail-holding strength. This has long been the hallmark of multi-layer boards. This is due to the production process, which involves arranging the individual layers of veneer horizontally and vertically, resulting in multi-layer boards' exceptional physical properties. Current seaming and bevel-grinded lap joints offer several improvements over previous splicing techniques, making multi-layer boards unmatched in nail-holding strength.

03. Waterproof and moisture-proof

Solid wood multilayer boards are made of multiple layers of veneer, so they are very waterproof and stable. Solid wood multilayer boards have a stable structure, are moisture-proof and not easily affected by the environment.

04Stable structure and uniform force

During the pressing process, solid wood multi-layer boards are glued vertically and horizontally and subjected to high temperature and high pressure, which gives them the advantages of good structural stability, not easy to deform, and strong quality. This solves the deformation defect of solid wood boards that is easily affected by dry and wet weather in terms of internal stress. This structure makes the finished multi-layer board more stable in performance and durable.

Of course, in real life, furniture panels have many other characteristics and considerations.
