With the change of lifestyle, the way to obtain wardrobes has gradually changed from carpentry cabinets and finished wardrobes to customized wardrobes
Because the appearance and space utilization rate of customized wardrobes are relatively high, they are very popular with young people nowadays
However, for the wardrobe, appearance is secondary, and the most important thing is its practicality and environmental protection
The board of the wardrobe is related to the practicality and environmental protection of the wardrobe, so the choice of plate is very important when customizing the cabinet.
The common boards on the market are particle boards, ecological boards, multi-layer boards, solid wood, etc., which one should we choose?
Particle boards
The "darling" of first-line brands, the "garbage" in the eyes of consumers
Particle board is also known as solid wood particle board and particle board
It is a board made of broken particles of waste wood or broken grains of miscellaneous wood and glue pressed at high temperatures
The biggest advantage of this kind of plate is that the raw materials are easy to obtain, the price is relatively cheap, and it is an economical plate
The bearing capacity and anti-deformation ability of particle board are relatively good, but the nail holding force is poor, and it will swell when exposed to water, and the waterproof performance is poor
The reason why it has become the "darling" of first-line brands is because of its low price of raw materials, easy to obtain, and garbage in the eyes of consumers, not only because of the poor comprehensive nature of the board, but also because the premium of the first-line brand particle board is too serious.
Therefore, if there are conditions, it is not recommended to buy particle board boards, and it will be better to buy boards with better cost performance.
MDF
Suitable for cabinet doors and decorative panels
MDF, also known as fiberboard, is a board that is supported by fibers from wood or fibers from other plants and glue
This kind of board is the same as particle board, the material is easy to obtain, and the MDF is divided into medium, high, and low, three kinds of MDF, and the one used to make the cabinet is the MDF
Its load-bearing capacity and nail holding force are worse than particle board, and it will also swell when exposed to water, so it is not very suitable for wardrobes, but the material is relatively soft and has good bending ability, which can be used to make cabinet doors.
Eco boards
A type of sheet that can remove the painting step
Ecological board, also known as paint-free board and melamine board, is a board that uses different plates as the core material and then uses melamine veneer to venerate
In this kind of board, it is best to use the finger joint board as the core material, so when purchasing an ecological board, you can avoid a lot of trouble by directly selecting the joint board.
Multi-layer boards
Cost-effective plates
Multi-layer board, also known as plywood, is a board that is made by cutting pieces of wood into thin sheets and then joining them together with glue
This kind of plate has good bearing capacity and holding force, but it is not suitable for making very high cabinet doors, otherwise it is easy to deform
It is also good for waterproofing and is often used to make cabinets.
Although its price is more expensive than particle board and MDF, its performance is better than particle board, and it is more durable.
Solid wood boards
The most preferred among the plates
Solid wood planks are planks cut from logs
This kind of plate is wear-resistant, load-bearing, and has good grip strength, but the plate itself is relatively squeamish, and it needs to be well maintained in the process of use
But if you are not short of money, it is recommended to choose solid wood panels, which are environmentally friendly, durable, and have good texture.
