Custom Furniture Raiders-Sheet Articles

After turning the building materials market upside down, I want to share my practical experience here. The depth of the plate is like the sea, so be sure to polish your eyes! I personally booked my cabinets before I realized how to choose the plates in furniture, especially custom cabinets and wardrobes.

the main material of cabinets is seriously related to their own health, so let's talk about the environmental protection of plates that everyone is most concerned about first. My kitchen has finally reached the stage of installing cabinets!

first of all, what caused the formaldehyde problem? Whether furniture is environmentally friendly depends on two aspects: one is the board itself, and the other is the manufacturer's technology, such as edge sealing technology and structure. If you choose environmentally friendly plates, it is equivalent to fundamentally solving the formaldehyde problem and achieving true environmental protection; If you value technology and quality and choose a big brand, it will also solve the formaldehyde problem. (Note: solving the formaldehyde problem means that the formaldehyde emission meets international standards)

Secondly, don't blindly pursue the environmental protection level. Don't listen to the merchants, what E or E1. There are only E1 and E2 in the European standard, but there is no E. In the original national standard, there is E grade, and only E and E1 grade plates are allowed to be used for furniture. Besides, it is also promising to spray E code directly on the E1 grade board. In the latest national standard implemented on May 1, 218, E grade was cancelled (there is no E grade! ! ）。 The water in the cabinet plate is very deep, and only a pair of eyes can jump over the pit.

now, let's get down to business!

there are mainly several kinds of boards in the market, such as eco-boards, particleboard, fiber density boards and so on. Because there are many names for a plate, you will be confused if you don't understand it. For example, solid wood particle board is actually a high-density particleboard; Particleboard is also called particleboard, also called particleboard; Eco-board is also called paint-free board or antibacterial board, and it is also divided into multi-layer solid wood and joinery board.

particleboard:

The material of most cabinets in IKEA is made of wood and other wood fibers, also called particleboard, which needs to be bonded with glue and contains a large amount of glue. Something like this (picture from Wikipedia).

if the manufacturer uses inferior glue, the formaldehyde pollution will be more serious. Moreover, it is very easy to absorb moisture, and it will absorb water quickly when it is placed in the kitchen and bathroom. It is not recommended to use in wet places. Southern cities should consider it ~

Solid wood particleboard:

It is high-density particleboard. The density is higher than that of particleboard, and the glue used is less than that of particleboard, so the environmental protection is higher than that of particleboard, but a lot of glue is still used for bonding. The hygroscopicity is much lower than that of low-density particleboard, and the stability is stronger than that of low-density particleboard.

Similarly, many manufacturers don't use environmentally-friendly glue to produce particleboard, and the environmental protection grade of particleboard produced by unqualified factories needs to be considered. It is not recommended for families in a hurry to use solid wood particle boards as cabinets.

Eco-boards:

There are many kinds of eco-boards, all of which contain little glue, which is more environmentally friendly. Say two common ones.

1. joinery board, a kind of plywood made by splicing wooden planks or hollow boards as the core board and pressing with glue. The glue content is less than that of particleboard. The quality of joinery board is determined by the core structure. The joinery board is more stable than the solid wood board, but it is afraid of moisture, so it is best to avoid using it in the bathroom. Its process requirements are also relatively high, and the process of small manufacturers may not meet the requirements. It is very important to choose a good manufacturer if you choose blockboard.

There are many kinds of blockboards, so you should study them carefully before you buy them.

2. Multi-layer solid wood board, which is made of multi-layer thin wood board by hot pressing. Although it also contains glue, it is more stable. Small deformation and high strength. Among these boards, multilayer board has the best performance. Multi-layer solid wood board (picture from the Internet)

Of course, it is not entirely possible to judge whether the board is environmentally friendly by the amount of glue.

The technology of the manufacturer also directly determines the formaldehyde emission. For example, the edge seal is good, and so on.

if it is a big manufacturer, it is more secure. Like IKEA, even if particleboard is widely used as the main material, it is in line with formaldehyde emission standards. Big brands will strictly implement environmental protection standards in the production process, or rest assured. Like egg, it also belongs to particleboard. However, every manufacturer in Aige has a complete set of environmental protection qualifications, and the plates produced fully meet the European environmental protection E1 standard.

so, if conditions permit, it is always right to choose big brands and manufacturers.

if you want to save your budget, look for more qualified but less famous manufacturers.

if the area of cabinets to be customized at home is relatively large, try to use environmentally-friendly plates of big brands. Even the boards with big brands need ventilation. Because formaldehyde is harmful to the human body depends on the concentration. Even if the standard boards are used, if the quantity is too large, the indoor formaldehyde concentration may still exceed the standard.

after comprehensive consideration, choose where to customize the cabinet.

Cabinet plate mainly distinguishes between cabinet body and cabinet door. The selection principle of cabinet materials is definitely to choose the most environmentally friendly one when conditions permit. When choosing the door plank, if there is a requirement for aesthetics and shape or color, the density board (particleboard, etc.) is generally used. Because this kind of board is easy to process, and eco-board is not easy to process. Then there are some personalized things: if you like a kitchen with colors, you can choose plastic suction with many colors (a film is attached to the board); Families who often fire want to take care of it, they can choose carbon light board (a layer of glass is attached to the board), and the surface feels like frosted glass. My family chose carbon light door panels. Very easy to take care of, no scratches, and durable! Tip: I consulted several manufacturers and said that the EG board can't be molded because the EG group only sells non-molded boards (to be verified).

Write it at the end:

I hope these words can help you prepare and decorate the ground.

Update: As a non-professional, this article must be one-sided. I didn't expect some professionals to explode in the comment area? Let me also increase a lot of knowledge. If you are also decorating Xiaobai, you may wish to poke the comment area, where many great gods have different ideas! I hope everyone can move into their new house smoothly?
