These are the tips you need to know when choosing wood panels!

Besides practicality and style, the most important part of a custom wardrobe is the material. Therefore, it is essential to choose durable and environmentally friendly materials to ensure a safe and comfortable home environment.

So how should we choose?

Here are five practical tips to share with you.

1. Check the material of the board.

The method of judgment is to look at the cut surface of the board to examine its internal structure. This structural board features a 9-layer eco-friendly log structure, using carefully selected wood. The core material is made from Chinese cedar wood over 30 years old and imported Russian golden fir wood over 18 years old. Scientifically proportioned with optimal moisture content, it achieves perfect nail-holding power and a longer service life.

2. Check the environmental friendliness of the boards.

Choose boards that meet national environmental protection standards, with low formaldehyde content. Ecological boards also have the advantage of being paint-free compared to other boards. The benefit of not needing to paint is that it reduces the emission of toxic and harmful substances caused by paint, making it more environmentally friendly.

3. Examine the veneer of the board.

Some custom wardrobes may look good on the surface, but a light scratch with a fingernail can leave noticeable marks. Good custom wardrobes generally use melamine-inked paper, which is thicker and made of environmentally friendly melamine laminate that has undergone high-temperature and high-pressure treatment, resulting in high surface strength and resistance to wear and scratches.

Scratch resistance, high temperature resistance, and oil resistance are the good qualities of mechanical structural panels.

4. Check the edge banding of the boards.

Good custom wardrobes use precision panel saws to cut the boards, ensuring no chipping on the edges. Edge banding effectively prevents moisture from penetrating the board. Some manufacturers lack professional equipment, resulting in rough cuts and noticeable chipping on the edges. Some even cut corners, only banding the front edge of the board. Unbanded edges easily absorb moisture from the air, causing the board to swell, leading to wardrobe deformation and shortening its lifespan.

5. Check the thickness of the board.

The standard cabinet body board thickness is 18 mm, but some manufacturers use boards with a thickness of 16 mm in order to reduce costs, but tell consumers that it is 18 mm. Please pay attention to this.
