What plate should I use to decorate the cabinet? The 30-year-old carpenter finally told the truth!

Now when decorating a house, we should pay more attention to the choice of plates. Because a good plate is not only good in quality, beautiful, but also relatively environmentally friendly. So there are so many kinds of plates on the market, which plate should we choose to make furniture? Speaking of the carpentry stage of decoration, it is popular for many owners to make their own cabinets and furniture. Since you make your own cabinets, you have to go to the building materials market to buy suitable plates, but there are many kinds of plates on the market, and many owners are very picky. I don't know which to choose. Let me analyze it for you.

1. What kind of board is suitable for furniture?

1, particle board

Many people hear the reaction of particleboard: it contains formaldehyde, so it can't be used, so it can't be used! As we all know, many big-name furniture manufacturers mostly use particleboard, and IKEA is one of them. Particleboard, also called particleboard, is also called solid wood particleboard.

It is made of sawdust bonded by adhesive, with stable and simple structure, low cost and convenient processing. Compared with other boards, granular boards are cheaper, which is the selling point of merchants and the standard of rental houses. At the same time, its glue content is among all the plates, and its nail holding force is poor, so its service life is the shortest.

2, density board

Dense density board is a board that uses adhesive to stick wood fibers or other plant fibers together. It is also called MDF (medium density fiberboard) and fiberboard by merchants.

In recent years, the popular incense board is actually a density board, but its filler is straw scraps, and the adhesive used is MDI (isocyanate glue), which does not contain formaldehyde. However, it still can't stop the shortcomings of easy deformation due to moisture, so incense boards are usually used as cabinet doors, which are not suitable for cabinet bodies.

Step 3 splint

Plywood is a solid wood multi-layer board, which is glued with thin plates. A few layers are called plywood. Think about plywood and plywood that carpenters say. It is difficult to say whether plywood is a substrate or a veneer, because thin plywood can be used as a veneer and thick plywood can be used as a substrate. Environmental protection performance depends on the content of glue.

Generally speaking, plywood is mostly used to make panels for wardrobes and doors. Pentagonal panels are more elastic and supportive, and can be used for the facing of arches. Nine plywood is made of laminated wood, which has strong stability and nail grip and can be used as a baseboard.

4. Core plywood

We usually talk about big core board, wood core board and joinery board, which are all aliases of joinery board. After splicing with wooden strips, stick a thin board on the surface and use less glue. The quality depends on the slats. Good slats include poplar, birch, pine and Malacca board. The inferior joinery board is made of all kinds of miscellaneous wood, covered with thin boards outside, and the miscellaneous wood inside is invisible.

Weigh the weight when buying, if it is too light, it is not a good plate; Let the merchant show the quality grade certificate.

5. Eco-board

Eco-board is also called paint-free board and double panel. Its base material is particleboard, density board, plywood and joinery board, and its facing is paper soaked with melamine resin glue, so it is also called melamine board. However, there will be no merchants on the market now, right? Melamine? I forgot these words, and most of them are affectionately called: solid wood eco-board.

As for whether the ring is environmentally friendly, it certainly depends on the quality of the glue. Formaldehyde is everywhere, not to mention plates, which are found in daily necessities, such as plastic pots, some shampoos, four-piece newly bought sheets and so on. As long as the indoor formaldehyde content is less than 0. 1 mg/m? The harm to human body is almost negligible.

There is no completely formaldehyde-free board, such as giant environmental protection incense board. Even if formaldehyde-free glue is used, it is inevitable to use formaldehyde-containing paint in the later production process. Instead of tangled formaldehyde, it is better to use the board and ventilate it frequently after decoration.

Second, about the detection of formaldehyde in decorative boards

1, self-test

Some friends will judge by their feelings. For example, in a newly renovated house, you can ask about the pungent smell of decoration, or it will smoke your eyes near a piece of furniture, and you will feel very tired. If your family is prone to get sick after moving into a new house, then you can see that the air pollution in this house is serious.

2. Observe the reactions of animals and plants

If we have pets or green plants at home, then we can see their reactions. If the pet suddenly has no spirit, doesn't like to eat, and its activity drops, then there must be decoration pollution gases such as formaldehyde in the house. If you don't have a pet, but have plants, and you find that a lot of green plants wither, then you can see that the formaldehyde content in your home has been marked.

3, professional company for inspection.

If budget conditions permit, it is best to invite professionals to carry out testing. Formaldehyde can't be seen or touched. It needs a qualified third-party testing company to carry out physical and chemical testing, and you can also show relevant certificates to see the formaldehyde content intuitively.

In fact, there are only a few mainstream plates at present. As for which one to choose, everyone should decide according to their own preferences. After all, each plate has its own advantages and disadvantages, so everyone should choose the one that is most suitable for family use, not necessarily the most expensive.
