What types of boards are there? Knowledge about boards is crucial.

Wood panels are ubiquitous and essential in our daily lives, but how much do you know about their different types? In contemporary furniture, there are countless and varied types of wood panels available; while not dazzling, they are certainly abundant. Here, we introduce some of the more common wood panels used in everyday life, which are also essential materials in home furnishing products.

I. Specific Classification of Furniture Boards Based on Material

Based on specific materials, wood products can be categorized as: solid wood, engineered wood products, MDF (medium-density fiberboard), particleboard, fiberboard, etc. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, varying cost-effectiveness and applications. Some are widely used for interior and exterior renovations of various rooms, office interiors, while others are used for wall panels, security doors, partitions, etc. For example, MDF has poor moisture resistance; the key lies in sealing and edge treatment. Good edge sealing can solve this problem, and with suitable edge sealing equipment, the issue of cold moisture can be largely mitigated. High-quality, practical, and aesthetically pleasing wood products are generally more expensive. The most common choice is a product with a reasonable cost-effectiveness, practicality, and that doesn't compromise overall aesthetics-this is what the general public prefers. Some products have high environmental standards, relatively high coefficients, good quality, and excellent reputations.

II. Issues to be aware of when using wood-based panels in daily life

The quality of furniture boards on the market varies greatly. Some fail to meet environmental standards, posing numerous safety hazards. For example, according to relevant environmental regulations, their formaldehyde content is seriously excessive. A prime example is particleboard, which is generally of poor quality and contains excessive levels of formaldehyde. In recent years, a material called "wood-scented board" has emerged in the wardrobe manufacturing industry. It is made primarily from crushed agricultural products and using formaldehyde-free polyurethane eco-adhesive as a binder. Therefore, wood-scented board is more expensive than particleboard and MDF. Different materials result in different performance characteristics in the boards, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

More sustainable production methods for wood-based panels are more environmentally friendly. People have increased the utilization rate of wood and expanded the ways in which panels are manufactured. These technologies are highly progressive, meeting technological and livelihood needs, and are extremely useful for the development of human society as a whole.
