The most practical way to choose boards when decorating

2025-10-13

The booming real estate industry has driven the continuous development of the entire panel industry. Because every home renovation is inseparable from panel materials, panel materials play a vital role in the renovation industry. Furthermore, due to their close connection to people's lives and health, people tend to choose environmentally friendly panel materials when choosing panel materials. Below, Panel Network introduces several simple and practical methods for selecting panel materials.

First of all, we must learn to identify the plywood of decorative panels

Generally speaking, plywood should have a well-defined, orderly grain, free of surface defects such as damage, bruises, or knots. When selecting, feel the surface of the plywood to feel its smoothness and flatness. Also, test the gluing strength and adhesiveness of the plywood. Poor gluing or debonding can cause delamination and deformation. While there are many different types of wood used for plywood, willow wood is considered the highest quality, producing a reddish-brown plywood. Plywood made from other woods, such as poplar, is generally white. Weight is also a key factor in distinguishing plywood: plywood made from willow wood tends to be heavier than plywood made from other woods of the same specifications. Most importantly, it's crucial to identify formaldehyde content. National standards require plywood to contain less than 1.5 mg/L for indoor use. Therefore, plywood should not exceed the national standard. The best way to identify plywood is to directly inspect the plywood's test report and quality inspection certificate. Alternatively, you can sniff closely and avoid plywood with a pungent odor.

Secondly, we must learn to identify the decorative panels of decorative panels

Because panels are often used in home decor, an aesthetically pleasing finish is crucial, directly impacting the overall effect of a home's decor. Therefore, pay close attention to the symmetry, color clarity, and aesthetic quality of the veneer's grain. The surface should be smooth and flat, free of noticeable blemishes and stains. The appearance of a veneer depends on its surface veneer, which is typically made by thinly shaving thin slices of more valuable hardwood. The presence of this veneer is crucial in distinguishing veneer from plywood. The surface veneer should be at least 0.2 mm thick, and the thicker the better. Some veneers have a surface panel as thin as 0.1 mm. To prevent the thin surface from showing through the baseboard, vendors will first coat the baseboard with a coat of paint matching the surface color.
