You need to know these common misconceptions about wood-based panels!

Boards are an essential material in home decoration, but how to choose them? Many people are confused. Today, Weiye brand boards have compiled a few common misconceptions about board selection, which consumers are advised to avoid when choosing boards.

Myth 1: Identifying board materials by only looking at their appearance?

Judging the quality of a board by its appearance alone is not enough, because inferior boards deceive consumers by "dressing up" them. In reality, they are poorly made, have a blackened and rotten core, and large gaps. They may look no different from high-quality boards, but their internal quality is worlds apart. Therefore, appearance cannot be used as a standard to judge the quality of boards.

Myth 2: The thicker the board, the better the quality?

In theory, the thicker the board, the higher its strength and the better its nail-holding power, leading consumers to believe that thicker boards are of higher quality. However, consumers don't need to excessively pursue board thickness. As long as it meets the standard, it will satisfy their needs. For example, wardrobe doors primarily serve a concealing function; excessively thick doors can actually increase the load on the hardware and affect the wardrobe's lifespan.

Myth 3: No odor, no formaldehyde?

The absence of odor in wood-based panels does not mean the absence of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a gas that is extremely difficult to volatilize. Even when the levels exceed the standard by 2 to 3 times, people may not be able to smell a noticeable odor. However, when the levels exceed the standard by 2 to 3 times, it already constitutes mild pollution and can have adverse effects on human health. It is unscientific to judge the presence or absence of formaldehyde solely based on the presence or absence of odor.

Myth 4: Imported boards are of the best quality?

When purchasing wood-based panels, some consumers tend to choose expensive imported panels. However, in terms of quality, the products of large domestic wood-based panel manufacturers are no worse than those of imports. They meet national standards in terms of environmental protection and performance. Consumers should not blindly believe in foreign brands and should choose according to their economic capabilities.

Myth 5: Tight sealing seals out formaldehyde?

Formaldehyde is a dangerous substance, and many people mistakenly believe that tight sealing can block it. This is incorrect because the total amount of formaldehyde in a board is fixed. Even if the board is tightly sealed, it will continue to release formaldehyde, albeit at a slower rate per unit time.
