What are the differences between eco-friendly boards and multi-layer boards?

When decorating a house, various boards are used. The quality of the boards will have a direct impact on the service life of the furniture. Next, the editor will tell you what are the differences between ecological boards and multi-layer boards? Let's take a look.

1. Raw materials

Eco-board is made from uniformly sized wood blocks and round wooden sticks, while multi-layer board is made from single sheets of veneer. Both are made from large-diameter wood and fall under the category of solid wood.

2. Production process

In terms of production technology, eco-friendly boards are made by splicing or tooth-jointing wood planks. The commonly mentioned "glulam" is produced using this process and is not a special type of board. The production process for multi-layer boards is mainly to lay out layers of veneer horizontally and vertically and then directly splice the veneers together.

3. Adhesives

Many people believe that eco-friendly boards use very little glue, while multi-layer boards use more. This is a completely one-sided view. The wood planks used in eco-friendly boards adhere to strict dimensional specifications according to national standards, but many manufacturers don't strictly adhere to these standards, and the amount of glue used isn't necessarily less than that of multi-layer boards. However, after using veneer in the production of multi-layer boards, the amount of glue used can be controlled within a reasonable range.

4. Environmental protection

In terms of environmental protection, if both use formaldehyde-free glue, then both ecological boards and multi-layer boards can achieve the standard of no formaldehyde addition, so their environmental performance is the same. What everyone should pay attention to is that wood itself contains trace amounts of formaldehyde. This is a common sense issue that everyone should know.

5. Physical properties and uses

In terms of physical properties and uses, there are differences between eco-friendly boards and multi-layer boards, and therefore their uses are also different. Eco-friendly boards are mostly used to make furniture such as cabinets, while multi-layer boards are generally used to make wardrobes, shoe cabinets, etc.
