Should you spend tens of thousands on customizing furniture?

From finished furniture to customized furniture, no matter how you choose, it seems that you can't escape the routines of the merchants. Just talking about the name of the board of the custom-made furniture can confuse you. In fact, the "knowledge points" that many friends know about the board are one-sided. Take the solid wood that everyone loves, the gap between log and multi-layer solid wood is not just the price.

To make custom furniture, you must know two things: The first point is the classification of custom furniture panels. The second point is to buy places that are easy to step on. Today, Qi Jia Anjan will share with you one by one from the aspect of custom furniture panels~First, understand the classification of furniture panels Because logs are expensive and difficult to maintain, they are materials that few people can afford, so in this article, we will focus on boards. The board is divided into a substrate and a veneer. The interlayer in the middle is the substrate, and the upper and lower "shells" that wrap the substrate are the veneers.



It has two classifications: one is classified by base material, and the other is classified by the finish.

According to the base material, there are 6 kinds: plywood, density board, particleboard, large core board, Ou Song board, slicing board.

There are 3 types of finishes: paint-baked board, paint-free board, and solid wood veneer.

  ▲The finish of the sheet (leather)

  ▲The base material of the sheet (filling)The finish mainly determines the style of the board, which can be selected according to the aesthetics. The base material needs to be determined according to the use scene, because different base materials have different characteristics, and their advantages can be exerted in the right place.

  Second, avoid the pit of plate purchase

1. Consider the purpose of the board

  ①Plywood

There are several names for plywood. Some people call it multi-layer plywood, while others call it plywood, plywood, and nine-inch plywood. The advantage of this kind of board is that it is not easy to deform, strong, and easy to construct. Good moisture resistance, suitable for use as cabinets and bathroom cabinets.

  ②Particle board

Particleboard is also called particleboard. This kind of board has the advantages of strong decoration ability, strong nail holding power, good processing performance and not easy to deform, and is suitable for making cabinets and wardrobes. This kind of board is a wood-based board made of glue under the action of heat and pressure. Everyone generally feels that there is a lot of formaldehyde. In fact, the formaldehyde emission of the boards from regular manufacturers is in the qualified range.

  ③Fiberboard

It also has a name called MDF. It is also an artificial board made of hot pressing and glue, and a water repellent is added. It is characterized by anti-corrosion, insect-proof, and easy to stick to various finishes, but it has the poor load-bearing capacity and is more suitable for cabinet doors and back panels.

  ④big core board

The big core board is also called a blockboard. Its advantages are good screw-holding power, high strength, firmness, sound absorption, and heat insulation. Suitable for cabinets, background walls, curtain boxes, etc. But it cannot be used in the kitchen and bathroom area because it is afraid of the tide.

  ⑤Ou Song board

Ou Song board can replace the big core board, and it is very good for home furnishings, wardrobes, and door panels. It is lighter than furniture made of fiberboard and particleboard. The disadvantage is that it has poor flatness and difficulty in painting.

  ⑥Finger joint board

The finger joint board is made up of multiple wooden boards spliced ?? together. It is a good board for making wardrobes, furniture and cabinets.

  2, look at the brand of the plate

Whether the board is good or not, in addition to the characteristics, the brand must also be considered.

Qijia An'an also recommends that everyone choose the brand of a large factory because the product quality is guaranteed. For domestic board brands, you can choose Bunny, Jilin Forestry Lushuihe, Daya, Moganshan, Hexiang board, etc., and imported boards can choose Agia board. The reason for choosing a big brand is because the quality is reliable, and the price will not be too far apart.

Everyone should know one more thing: individuals, distributors and processing plants do not produce plates, they all need to purchase from plate manufacturers. When encountering dealers who are boasting about how good their plates are, they must ask about the plate brand, because the profitability of other brand plates is high.

3. Look at the production process of the board If you have the opportunity to visit a sheet factory, you must look at their equipment and scale. The equipment in large factories has more detailed workmanship in processing the plates, and the edge sealing of the plates is handled very well. For friends who are custom-made in the whole house, it is necessary to take a trip to do their homework with a budget of tens of thousands of custom-made pieces of furniture.

4. Look at the brand of hardware hinges

Customized furniture bought for tens of thousands of dollars, coupled with a few dollars of handles, slides, hinges and other hardware, the use effect can be much worse. If you choose a large brand of sheet metal, the hardware of Blum, Hettich, and Henggao brands is basically standard, but you have to ask if there is an extra charge.

Three, what are your misunderstandings about the sheet material?

1. The more sheet glue, the greater the formaldehyde content?

Glue is also divided into good and bad. The Hexiang board on the market is said to be formaldehyde-free, mainly using Wanhua's polyisocyanate resin (MDI glue). Like polyvinyl acetate (PVA), there is no formaldehyde, but because the cost is too high, they can not replace urea-formaldehyde resin (UF).

urea-formaldehyde resin (UF) is the most basic raw material in modern industry. Nowadays, it accounts for more than 90% of all adhesives in home improvement wooden furniture. There will be a large amount of formaldehyde residue in the production process, which is called free formaldehyde. The wood-based panels in home decoration will release free formaldehyde when exposed to damp or heat, which is the main source of formaldehyde in decoration.

The reason why it is popular is not only because of its low cost but also because of its good performance. Therefore, it will take a long time for us to truly eliminate formaldehyde in home furnishings.

Can't you buy custom furniture? of course not. The large-brand plate manufacturers can reduce the formaldehyde emission to the qualified range: the highest environmental protection level of the European standard and the new national standard is E1, and the formaldehyde emission is required to be less than 0.124mg/m? (Different plates have different forms of formaldehyde emission. different).

Reliable brand panels can be bought, and the formaldehyde emission is within the qualified range. You can judge by asking the merchant to show the inspection report of the National Building Materials Testing Center. Those who advocate the E0 level of formaldehyde are the selling points of the manufacturer's own "design", and the national standard does not have this requirement.

  2. Does custom-made furniture panels determine the quality?

In addition to the board, the installation skills of the master will also affect 30% of the use effect.

In order to ensure the installation process, a team of 3-5 people will be arranged for the big brand of panels, including good craftsmen and novices. Of course, it is not ruled out that these brands find outsourcing teams, because raising workers is very expensive, and outsourcing is relatively cost-effective and labor-saving.

Reliable installation workers will strictly follow the construction drawings and will not make large-scale cutting on site. This should be supervised.

Now everyone should have a clear understanding of the quality of the custom-made furniture panels, the quality and the formaldehyde pollution. If your home is going to be renovated, consider customizing the whole house. For friends who have not done enough homework, choosing a reliable board brand can solve 80% of the problems.
