Recently, a friend of mine is decorating a new home. As a newcomer who has just entered the decorative industry, he is confused about everything, can not distinguish solid wood and boards. This issue of Encyclopedia will show you : the story between solid wood and boards?
Summary
Solid wood is actually natural wood. There are many kinds of natural wood: birch, oak, pine, basswood, camphor, rosewood, ebony, rosewood, maple, core wood, peach, teak, elm, poplar Wood, willow, beech, oak, catalpa, etc.
Furniture made of solid wood generally has the texture of natural wood on the surface, and the furniture produced is superb in terms of craftsmanship, structure, texture, etc.
The board is a kind of man-made board, which are also divided into several types: solid wood board, bamboo solid board, MDF, decorative board, finger joint board, melamine board, waterproof board, gypsum board, cement board, varnished board, particle board, etc.
Boards are also used to make furniture. The wardrobe made of boards is the most common type of furniture. Furniture made of boards is inclined to the rhythm of modern fashion in appearance, but it is far worse than solid wood in terms of texture. This is one of the differences between solid wood and boards.
Texture
Boards are generally made into standard sized as building material boards that can be used as wallpaper, ceiling or floor structures. The boards have a large surface area, therefore have the strong covering ability, so are widely used in chemical industry, construction, metal products, metal structures, etc.
Boards can be bent and welded into various complex cross-section profiles, steel pipes, large I-beams, channel steels and other structural parts. Solid wood does not have this characteristic.
Shape
The shape of the board is simple, it could be produced in coils, and it is used in the largest amount in the national economy, so it must and can achieve high-speed continuous production.
The board is also the core materials of medium density board, particle board, block board, etc. The board is formed, stable in performance, not easy to deform, and convenient for processing and transportation. Furniture made of board is generally assembled with hardware.
Solid wood furniture adopts tenon structure, and there should be no large knots or cracks in the load-bearing bars between the columns near the ground. The structure is firm, the frame can’t be loose, and the tenon and material are not allowed to be broken.
Difference
• From the production process, the production process of solid wood furniture is relatively complicated, and the production process of panel furniture is relatively simple, which could be mass-produced and delivered quickly, and profiled parts are generally solid wood or gypsum materials.
• From the perspective of environmental protection, since solid wood furniture is made of natural wood; the board is a kind of artificial board, and it is inevitable that the formaldehyde emission of the board risk to exceed the standard.
• From the perspective of service life, solid wood has a long service life and is very durable, which is more than 5 times the life of board furniture.
• From the point of view of bearing capacity, solid wood furniture is made of complete wood. Sturdy and durable, not easy to deform. When choosing board furniture, people usually think that the thicker the board, the better the strength. In fact, hardware will bear too much for the thick board and affect the service life.
For a long time, Liangmu has been in awe of nature, actively formulated sustainable development plans, and applied a variety of environmental protection standards throughout the production system: selected FSC international forest certified black walnuts in the Midwest of the United States, red oak from New York and Wisconsin in North America State, so that each piece of imported wood has a legal source, and the quality of raw materials could be truly controlled from the source.We always focus on the concept of green development, comprehensively carry out safety and environmental protection transformation, and provide more families with a natural and healthy home life.
