To be environmentally friendly and beautiful, the board finishes must be mentioned

There are thousands of boards on the market, and I like the most beautiful ones. The boards on the market can be roughly divided into several types such as density board, wood board, particle board, multi-layer board, etc., but the finishes of the boards are rich and varied.

The board can only look more upscale if it has a surface finish. Although the surface patterns are varied, there are roughly four types of finishes.

Category 1

Melamine impregnated film paper

Melamine veneer is made by printing decorative paper with a pattern, then impregnating it with melamine adhesive to create a melamine-coated paper. This is then hot-pressed onto the board substrate. Because it requires a high degree of surface flatness, it is commonly used for surface finishing on particleboard and medium-density fiberboard. This type of board, often called melamine board, features a highly realistic surface texture, is wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, and water-resistant, and is primarily used in panel furniture.

Category II

PVC film finish

PVC coating's greatest strength is its softness, making it a popular choice for wrapping styling-friendly fiberboard. It enhances moisture resistance and allows for the creation of classic Western-style finishes. However, the biggest drawback of PVC coating is its high cost. Typically, only the front is covered, with the back often covered with a white triamine finish.

Category 3

Paint finish

Unlike the previous types of board finishes, a paint finish is sprayed onto the substrate, allowing for direct application on all six sides. It offers excellent waterproofing and moisture resistance, and is easy to clean. However, its disadvantages include a complex and time-consuming production process and a high price. Painted board, on the other hand, is made by coating fiberboard with a paint finish and is primarily used in cabinets and sideboards.

Category 4

Solid wood veneer finish

The solid wood veneer is pasted on medium-density fiberboard/particleboard/multi-layer solid wood and other boards through a high-temperature hot press to become a solid wood veneer decorative panel. Because the veneer can be imported or domestic, and precious wood or ordinary wood, there is a wide range of choices, so the grade of the solid wood veneer decorative panel is determined by the material type and thickness of the solid wood veneer.

The surface of solid wood veneer boards must be painted. Due to the different veneer and painting processes, the same veneer can easily produce different effects, so solid wood veneer has higher requirements for veneer and painting processes.

Solid wood veneer board is the main finishing method adopted by high-end furniture at home and abroad because of its real, natural feel and high grade, but it is relatively high in terms of materials and cost.

At present, a kind of technological veneer is popular in China. It is favored by consumers for its real and natural texture, various patterns, no color difference, and large size.

Ding-dong, get out of class is over. That’s all for today’s class. Does anyone know anything about board finishing?
