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

People who are planning to renovate their new homes are often told by contractors that melamine-faced boards are good and should be used. However, many are confused about what melamine-faced boards actually are. They are also known as eco-boards, melamine-faced boards, or simply melamine boards. So, what are eco-boards? What are the advantages and disadvantages of melamine-faced boards? Today, we'll explain.

What kind of board is a melamine-faced board?

Melamine-faced boards are composed of multiple layers. The core consists of plywood and adhesive, with a melamine veneer on the surface. Melamine-faced boards are convenient to use during construction, wear-resistant, and have an attractive wood grain texture, making them popular with consumers. As a result, more and more furniture is made from melamine-faced boards due to their superior properties and environmental friendliness, making them a favorite in the decoration industry. Melamine-faced boards have expanded from their initial use in monochrome computer desks and office furniture to include home furniture, with increasingly diverse surface patterns and textures. Ecological boards are also graded. E1 grade is the national standard grade, currently permitted for use in home decoration. E1 means formaldehyde emissions are less than or equal to 1.5 mg/L, while E0 grade means formaldehyde emissions are less than or equal to 0.5 mg/L.

Advantages and disadvantages of melamine boards

Melamine-faced boards are characterized by their resistance to discoloration and peeling, as well as their heat resistance, corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, and fire resistance. Furthermore, they can be processed into various styles and textured veneers, making them highly favored in the home decoration industry since their introduction to the market. However, due to variations in moisture content and production time, some deformation may occur. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully check the material of the wood used when selecting melamine-faced boards; otherwise, future quality issues will be difficult to resolve.
