What are furniture decorative panels?

Which material is more durable?

Furniture panel is a kind of board used to make bamboo and wood furniture. The quality of furnishing board directly determines the durability of furniture. Therefore, people pay great attention to the material of furniture panel when purchasing furniture. There are many materials used to make furniture boards, the most common ones are solid wood boards, blockboards, plywood, bamboo boards, density boards and particle boards.

Furniture panel

1. Bamboo panel

Bamboo board generally refers to bamboo plywood and bamboo plywood, which is a kind of panel made by cutting, carbonizing, gluing and pressing bamboo pieces. The advantages of this board are the beauty and fragrance of the main board, excellent physical properties, small absorption expansion coefficient, and not easy to deform and crack. The main disadvantage is that the viscose may contain harmful substances, but high-quality bamboo boards are still relatively safe.

2. Density panel

Density board is a man-made board. First, wood or non-wood plants are processed into fibers, then adhesives are added to the fibers, and they are mixed evenly. Then, the above mixture is pressed into density board under high temperature and high pressure.
The advantages of density board are: high density, uniform material, good physical properties, anti-bending, anti-impact, not easy to dehydrate, crack, deform, overcome the shortcomings of natural wood, simpler shape, and no problems such as decay and insect bites.
The disadvantages are: poor moisture resistance and nail holding, high processing technology requirements, and high cost.

3. Particle panel

Particleboard is made by mixing and pressing the waste generated during wood felling or processing with glue. Its advantages are: good sound absorption and sound insulation performance, uniform thickness, high strength, low cost, simple processing, and formaldehyde content is much lower than that of blockboard. It is the most environmentally friendly among artificial boards.
Disadvantages: poor nail holding ability, bending resistance and tensile resistance, and the shape is not very simple. Therefore, this type of board is not suitable for large furniture.

4. Solid wood panel

Solid wood panel is made of complete wood. Its advantages are: natural and environmentally friendly materials, natural texture, beautiful and atmospheric. In addition, solid wood board is very strong and durable. It is the best quality among various materials and is very suitable for furniture selection.
Disadvantages: the use of solid wood board to make furniture has high requirements for craftsmanship. If you are not careful, it is easy to cause deformation and cracking of the board. In addition, the cost is high and the fire resistance is poor. These make some people stay away from solid wood boards.

5. Block panel

Block board is a combination of a core made of natural wood strips glued together and a very thin veneer. It is the main material for decoration. Its advantages are low density, high strength, not easy to deform, good dimensional stability, simple processing, sound absorption and heat insulation, and low price. Therefore, this material furniture board is widely used.
Disadvantages are: poor vertical bending resistance, high moisture content, fear of moisture, high formaldehyde content, and harm to human health. These factors restrict the application of block board.

6.Ply panel

The logs are softened by steaming or boiling, and then the logs are rotated and cut into very thin wood chips along the direction of the annual rings. Three or more odd-numbered veneers are glued together with glue, and plywood is made through gluing, hot pressing and other processes.
The advantages of plywood are: retaining the natural pattern of wood, beautiful surface, good strength and toughness, strong nail holding force, simpler processing, good insulation, and lighter furniture made from it.
The disadvantage is that the bending resistance is poor. Therefore, plywood is not used as the overall material for furniture, and is generally only used in the facing part of furniture.

In summary, various boards have their own characteristics. When purchasing, you can learn more from professionals and fully consider your own use and cost-effectiveness requirements.
