For many people planning a home renovation for the first time, they are often caught off guard. They have never experienced or understood the entire process of home renovation. With so many materials available on the market, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Generally speaking, choosing the right materials isn't as difficult as some people make it out to be. Once you learn the basics, it's easy to discern the quality of the materials. As a professional material service provider, China Material Network offers step-by-step guidance on how to choose the right materials for your home.
Tip 1: Learn to identify the basic quality of the board
For novices, the most important thing is to learn to identify the quality of the board by observing its surface, that is, to directly touch it with your hands and observe it with glasses to see if there are any particularly obvious defects on the surface of the board. At the very least, you should check the flatness and smoothness of the board surface, and also check for any glue penetration and board surface pollution, such as any local blackening and yellowing. Through comprehensive observation and identification, select boards with no cracks, cracks, knots, skin, resin sacs and gum channels on the surface. The natural warping of the entire board should be minimized, and the sanding phenomenon caused by incorrect sanding process operation should be avoided.
Tip 2: Be good at observing the texture structure of the board
In the board market, the grain structure of veneer is generally straight, with a very regular distribution of grain patterns. Natural wood veneer, on the other hand, has a natural wood pattern, with a more flexible and irregular grain pattern. High-quality board should offer a pleasant appearance, with a fine and even structure, vibrant color, and beautiful texture. The grain of the matching boards and parquet should be arranged in a regular pattern, the wood color should be consistent, and the joints should be nearly parallel to the board edges.
Tip 3: Learn to analyze the structural characteristics of the board
The glue layer structure of high-quality boards is very stable, with no debonding. There will be no bulging or delamination between the surface veneer and the base material, or between the layers inside the base material.
Tip 4: Understand the ecological and environmental performance of the board
Try to choose boards with low formaldehyde emissions. You can smell the board to see if it emits a pungent odor. If the board has a strong odor, it means the formaldehyde emission is higher, the pollution is more serious, and the harm is greater.
