What are the eight most commonly used building materials in home decoration?

1. Ecological board

Also known as melamine board or paint-free board, it is made by soaking paper with different colors or textures in melamine resin adhesive, drying it to a certain degree, and then laying it on the surface of particleboard or other boards and pressing it with heat. It is widely used in wardrobes, cabinets, TV cabinets, wine cabinets, commercial partitions, office furniture, etc., and is currently the preferred board material for major furniture and cabinet manufacturers.

2. Plywood

Also known as plywood, or veneer board, it is made by rotary cutting wood segments into veneers or slicing wood squares into thin sheets, and then gluing them together with adhesive to form a board-like material. It usually consists of an odd number of veneer layers, with the fiber directions of adjacent veneer layers glued perpendicular to each other.

3. Plywood

Also known as blockboard, it consists of core boards made from high-quality natural wood planks that have undergone heat treatment and then spliced ​​together using a panel splicing machine. Two layers of high-quality veneer are then applied to each side of the spliced ​​planks, followed by cold and hot pressing to form the final product. It is widely used in furniture, doors and windows, partitions, false walls, radiator covers, curtain boxes, and more.

4. Panel

Also known as decorative panels, these are a special type of plywood. Solid wood boards are precisely sliced ​​into thin veneers of about 0.2mm thickness, and then glued together with plywood as the base material to create decorative panels with a single-sided decorative function.

5. Particleboard

Also known as wood chipboard, it is a thin sheet made from wood chips as the main raw material, mixed with glue and additives, and then pressed together. It is mainly used in the manufacture of furniture, trains, and automobile carriages.

6. Fireproof board

It is generally composed of three layers: surface paper, colored paper, and multiple layers of kraft paper. It has physical properties such as wear resistance, scratch resistance, impact resistance, and flexibility, and has become the leading product in the cabinet market.

7. Solid wood boards

Wood panels made from whole pieces of timber are sturdy, durable, and have a natural grain, making them an excellent choice for interior decoration. However, they are expensive and require sophisticated installation techniques, so they are typically used for flooring and doors.

8. MDF (Medium-density fiberboard)

Also known as fiberboard, it is made by soaking fibers in water and then hot-grinding, laying, and hot-pressing them. It is used in interior and exterior decoration, audio equipment, vehicle interior decoration, anti-static flooring for computer rooms, wall panels, partitions, etc., and is also a good packaging material.
