What is the price difference of decoration board?

2025-10-13

In recent years, the continuous development of the real estate market has provided a fertile market for the home improvement industry. In particular, rising housing prices have fueled a frenzy of homebuying. Ultimately, these purchases require support from the home improvement industry, which has invisibly increased prices in the home improvement market. This is particularly true in the home improvement panel industry, where demand for product quality is growing, with a particular emphasis on the environmental friendliness of these panels. Market players, responding to consumer demand, have touted the benefits of environmentally friendly panels, capitalizing on this opportunity to drive up prices and widen the price gap between these products. However, are these expensive, so-called environmentally friendly panels truly that good? Let's explore the realities of the home improvement panel market with experts.

Three levels of environmental protection

Whether you go to the low-end decoration board sales market or the very high-end decoration board sales market, there are only three environmental protection levels of boards on the market: E0, E1 and E2. There are no other levels. These three levels are also the biggest reason for the different prices of decoration boards on the market. The three levels are divided according to the formaldehyde content contained in the board products. The more formaldehyde content, the greater the harm to the human body. The lower the formaldehyde content, the less harm to the human body. Therefore, the prices of boards of these three environmental protection levels are also very different, especially the E0 level among the three environmental protection levels, which is the so-called level with the lowest formaldehyde content. The price is unimaginably expensive. However, for wealthy businessmen who are not short of money, they generally choose boards of this level in order to seek peace of mind. E0 level belongs to the highest standard, so the formaldehyde content is almost negligible. Many people are willing to choose this level, especially families with elderly, children or pregnant women. They are willing to choose this type of board, but the price is also very considerable, which is not acceptable to the general public. Here, experts do not recommend consumers to buy E2 level. The formaldehyde content is very excessive and will cause great harm to both adults and children. Although the price is relatively cheap, it is very unsuitable for home decoration that will be used for a long time.

E0 is the most cost-effective

It is very common for ordinary consumers to have doubts about prices. Even experts may not be able to clearly distinguish between environmentally friendly and non-environmentally friendly board products, let alone ordinary consumers. Here, the advice of experts from the Board Network to consumers is that choosing E0-grade decorative boards is the best choice. It has a very high cost-effectiveness, does not contain high concentrations of formaldehyde, and is reasonably priced.
