Most consumers buy wood panels at places like building materials markets. However, these markets offer a dizzying array of panel brands. When choosing, ask the salesperson for tips on selecting panels: look for a durable, thick core, a smooth, bright surface, and try to choose imported panels. Are these tips accurate? To answer your questions, how should you choose panels?
1. Does the thickness of the board affect durability and quality?
According to research, branded wood panels on the market feel particularly thick and solid, while lesser-known brands often have a lighter feel. Consumers don't necessarily need to obsess over the weight and thickness of wood panels. National standards clearly define this, and as long as they meet the standards, they're acceptable. Excessive thickness can feel gaudy and unnecessary. While most panels appear thick, they're actually made of multiple layers of wood and aren't solid wood.
2. How to inspect and identify the overall quality of the plate
I think most consumers often use a hard object to scratch the surface of a board to test its wear resistance. This isn't necessary. This is also a common tactic used by many salespeople to demonstrate brand quality. They'll also scribble on the board with a marker and then easily wipe it off. These demonstrations are completely unnecessary; they're the most basic. The best way to test is to smear it with makeup or oil, wait a while, and then wipe it off to see the effect.
3. Choose whether import is better
Imported lumber has become considered high-end in the eyes of consumers. After all, you get what you pay for. Naturally, retailers will promote imported lumber to profit, as foreign lumber is typically 20% more expensive than domestic lumber. However, I believe this belief is unnecessary. Some domestic lumber brands offer excellent quality, and any lumber that meets national standards for environmental performance and usability is impeccable.
