In this era of pursuing quality living, decorative furniture has become a new trend. So what kind of substrate would you first think of for the baseboard of high-end products? There are many kinds of boards on the market, and you must have heard most about density boards, particle board, multilayer boards, and solid wood boards. Today, I will tell you how to make furniture with density boards and how to maintain them.
Density board, also known as medium to high density fiberboard, is a board made from wood fibers or other plant fibers as raw materials, prepared by fibers, applied with synthetic resin, and pressed under heating and pressure conditions. According to their different densities, they can be divided into low density, medium density, and high density. The surface of the density board is smooth and flat, with a fine and even texture, high strength, easy to cut and groove, excellent physical properties, and less prone to moisture deformation; Easy to process, the most important thing is that it can be used for surface finishing, which is also classified as:
① Melamine impregnated paper (wear-resistant, diverse in design, impact resistant, deformation resistant, pollution resistant, flame retardant, moisture-proof, environmentally friendly, non fading, easy to install, easy to handle) is widely used in cabinets, wardrobes, etc. today;
② Sticking various solid wood veneers on the surface (the characteristic of wood veneer panels is paint free, which is more environmentally friendly, and it is wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, waterproof and moisture-proof, with good nail grip and low carbon) is an excellent choice for high-end imitation wood furniture with high cost-effectiveness;
③ Paste various PVC sheets (made from PVC with a honeycomb shaped mesh structure in cross-section), etc.
Therefore, density board veneers are widely used in furniture, packaging, indoor and outdoor decoration, etc. However, due to the fact that density boards are made of adhesive, I would like to remind everyone to choose E1 and E0 boards with higher environmental protection levels when choosing density boards, and to regularly ventilate and remove formaldehyde in prepared furniture.
So, how should we maintain the well made density board furniture? The editor will share some knowledge about maintaining density board finishes with everyone based on personal experience.
1. Stay away from water
Density board has poor waterproof performance. During the rainy season, windows should be closed to prevent rain from soaking furniture. At the same time, attention should be paid to indoor ventilation to emit moisture.
2. Avoid high temperatures
Users who use the density board wardrobe should know that the density board furniture should be placed away from high temperature places, such as fireside, radiator, etc., and should not be directly exposed to the sun to avoid premature drying and aging of the surface. High temperature will cause the density board to crack and deform due to excessive dehydration.
3. Frequent cleaning
When cleaning the surface of the density board wardrobe, it is important not to rinse it directly with a large amount of water. It is best to wipe it with a soft damp cloth. If it is stained with chocolate, oil, juice, beverages, etc., it can be wiped with warm water and neutral detergent. If contaminated with lipstick, crayons, ink, etc., gently wipe with methanol or acetone.
