What is ecological board? What are its advantages and disadvantages?

As consumer groups begin to pay attention to the overall art of home living, people prefer to add more independent creativity and characteristics to their home life and manufacture personal exclusive furniture. At the same time, the requirements for customized furniture panel materials are getting higher and higher.

There are many types of board materials. Let’s take a look at the top ten Chinese board brands and learn about eco-boards! What are eco-boards?

Eco-board, or melamine-impregnated paper-faced wood-based panels, is a melamine-faced panel made from multiple layers of solid wood (plywood) or blockboard (such as Malacca, fir, paulownia, and poplar). It's primarily used in furniture, wardrobes, and bathroom cabinets.

Advantages: Made with wood board as the base and melamine-impregnated paper as the finish, melamine board offers superior resistance to heat, acid, alkali, moisture, and fire compared to traditional sticker furniture. Its surface resists discoloration and peeling, and it can be easily processed into a variety of stylish, high-quality veneers. This product offers high added value, saving consumers both renovation costs and labor expenses.

Disadvantages: The edge banding is easy to break, the glue marks are obvious, the construction process requirements are high, and it is easy to leave nail holes on the surface.

Eco-boards are made from wood and may contain small amounts of formaldehyde, but choosing high-quality, E0-rated boards is essential to ensure they are safe. Eco-boards also have the advantage of being paint-free, which reduces the emission of toxic and harmful substances, making them more environmentally friendly.

Advantages of Eco-Board Furniture

Eco-friendly boards are paint-free, wear-resistant, heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, waterproof, moisture-resistant, have excellent nail-holding properties, are environmentally friendly, low-carbon, and resist discoloration or peeling. They possess many exceptional properties unmatched by natural wood. Furniture made from them requires no painting; a protective film naturally forms on the surface, making them resistant to wear, scratches, acids, alkalis, scalding, and pollution. They are environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing.

Disadvantages of using eco-board to make furniture

Although eco-friendly boards can be used to make furniture, they are new materials.

1. The price is expensive, and it will be difficult for ordinary home users to bear this cost;

2. Lack of corresponding technical specifications. After all, it is a new thing and it takes a long time from its creation to perfection, so it is difficult to purchase high-quality products;

3. This type of board is used to make outdoor floors, exterior wall panels, insulation boards and other decorative boards. Its durability is slightly poor, but it is slightly inferior in furniture grade.

In a market with a wide variety of core materials, the only board products available to consumers are multi-layer solid wood (plywood) and blockboard (such as Malacca, fir, paulownia, pine, etc.) with multiple textures and a full range of colors.
