To make cabinets sturdy, you need to strengthen the nail-holding power first; this is how DaWang Coconut Board does it.

Nail-holding power is one of the main physical and mechanical properties of wood panels. Many experienced carpenters can tell the lifespan of a piece of furniture the moment a nail enters the panel. In other words, the strength of a wood panel's nail-holding power directly affects the sturdiness and lifespan of the furniture.

What is the nail-holding power of a board?

A more professional explanation

Board holding power refers to the ability of a board to hold a nail in place and prevent it from being pulled out by external force.

To put it simply

The nail-holding power of a board refers to how easily a nail can be secured in the nail hole after it has entered the board, and how easily it can loosen and fall out.

For cabinets built during renovation, the strength of the board's nail-holding power means whether the cabinet hinges will fall off, whether the screws will loosen and make strange noises, whether the cabinet structure will deform during the next ten or twenty years of use, and even whether the cabinet can last for more than ten years.

Generally speaking, furniture cabinets made from boards with strong nail-holding power will be more sturdy and have a longer lifespan. The strength of nail-holding power depends on factors such as the wood species, density, moisture content, hardness, elasticity, grain direction, amount of glue used, manufacturing process, nail shape, size of the contact surface between the nail and the wood, and environmental conditions.

How is Da Wang Ye board made?

01. Selected high-density, high-quality wood species

The company searches globally for new wood species for its boards, employing the 5A-grade material selection method to select high-density, high-quality wood species. Among them, the density of Nanxiang wood is imported from Southeast Asia, and logs from trees at their prime age are selected, with a density as high as 500kg/m³. It has a stable structure and possesses higher strength and more perfect nail-holding power.

▲Phoebe zhennan wood boards have high density, stable structure, and strong nail-holding power.

02. Ensure stable moisture content of the boards .

The boards undergo a 10-day constant-temperature drying process on the logs, with multiple curing cycles during production and a full-process quality inspection system to monitor the moisture content of the boards in real time to ensure it reaches a balanced and stable state, thereby enhancing nail-holding power.

03. Optimize production machinery and processes

We continuously optimize the board production process, introduce advanced machinery to make each step of board production more precise and less prone to error; we innovate and upgrade production processes to significantly improve board quality, including its nail-holding power.

04. Physical testing to verify nail holding power

Through experiments, the nail-holding power of Nanxiang wood, ordinary boards, and solid wood particleboard was tested together under a professional testing machine. It was found that the Nanxiang wood board can withstand a weight of more than 130KG, while the nail-holding power of the other two boards is only about half that of the Nanxiang wood board.
