What board is better for carpenters to hit the wardrobe?

Since the decoration became a formal industry, the plate of wardrobe has basically experienced three generations of development.

Up to now, the most commonly used board for carpenters to make wardrobes is eco-board, which may be the last generation. It is not that the materials will not change, but that the carpenters who make cabinets are gradually being eliminated, and the furniture made on site may be completely replaced by customized furniture. In the future, carpenters may just do some installation work of gypsum board ceilings, partitions and furniture.

The first generation of cabinet board: the large core board (joinery board) is mainly made of wood strips with uniform thickness, spliced with glue as the core material, and then covered with plywood on both sides. Smooth surface and uniform thickness. Compared with old carpenters, it is much more convenient and faster to process logs into boards, and the utilization rate of wood is also higher.

In the renovation around 2000, wardrobes, shoe cabinets, wine cabinets, etc. Are all made of this kind of plate. Although the cost of this board is low and the production speed is fast, the plywood on the surface is rough, without any decoration, and even the surface can't be painted directly, so after the cabinet was finished, a decorative board (mostly Fraxinus mandshurica decorative board) was attached to the surface of the cabinet. Then various painting techniques are carried out on the decorative board to achieve the decorative effect. However, because there are many compartments inside the cabinet, it is too troublesome to paste decorative plates, so it is generally to paste a layer of "home improvement treasure", similar to the photo film in the advertising materials now.

With the vigorous development of decoration industry, the number of this kind of furniture has also exploded, which directly gave birth to a professional job-home painter. Compared with other occupations in decoration, this kind of painting started and started the fastest.

Disadvantages of furniture made of this board:

The birth of this kind of board promoted the transition of furniture production from carpenter's era to carpenter's era, and furniture from solid wood era to board furniture era. Although the large core board simplifies the production process of wardrobe and other furniture, there are still many shortcomings from now on.

1, poor environmental protection performance, in order to maximize the use of raw materials, the inside of the board core is small on one side, too much glue is used, and the formaldehyde content is relatively high, even most of the boards can not meet the E 1 standard. In addition, after the cabinet is completed, it is necessary to paste decorative boards and paint. At that time, newly renovated houses could not live alone, and even some workers who did not pay attention to protection were infected with chronic diseases.

The strength of this board is very poor. Due to the immature splicing technology of core materials, some inferior plates even use manual splicing, which has large internal gaps and poor bearing strength, especially transverse compression, and is easy to break under the action of manpower. Therefore, we must pay attention to the span of the frame when making cabinets.

3, easy to deform, poor nail holding ability

According to the splicing process of core materials, joinery boards can be divided into organic splicing boards and manual splicing boards. Machine jigsaw puzzle is compacted by machine, and the nail holding ability is not bad, but manual jigsaw puzzle often appears hollow intentionally or unintentionally when making. Once the nail touches the hollow, it has no ability to hold the nail at all.

When making cabinets or doors with large core boards, decorative boards are usually pasted on the surface, which requires a lot of glue. After the glue is dry, it is easy to be deformed and twisted due to uneven internal and external forces. Therefore, many cupboard doors should be pressed with heavy objects after processing and thoroughly dried before installation.

Second generation board: In order to improve some shortcomings of large core board, the splicing technology of board has also made great progress. About 10 years ago, this kind of finger pick-up began to appear in the market. It is also made of wood, but the splicing is more compact. At the same time, the longitudinal seam is serrated, similar to two hands and five fingers interlocking, so it is called finger joint plate. Due to the improvement of splicing technology, the strength of this kind of board has been strengthened to a certain extent, and at the same time, the glued wood has been removed from both sides of the board, which makes the texture of the wood intuitively displayed, so the appearance effect has the feeling of a log, and even many furniture use finger joints to pretend to be log furniture, which makes people unable to distinguish.

The raw materials of finger joint board are generally Chinese fir, pine and camphor wood. The cabinet can be directly painted with varnish, which greatly reduces the amount of glue compared with the blockboard, so it is more environmentally friendly. At the same time, there is no need to stick that kind of "disgusting" home improvement treasure inside the cabinet, and the appearance style is more beautiful.

Disadvantages of finger joint board:

If you want to decorate the outside of the cabinet made of finger joint plates, you need to stick a decorative plate and paint it. The cabinet or cupboard door made by this method is even more deformable than the large core plate. Environmental protection performance, although the board itself has made great progress compared with the large core board, it needs to be painted inside and outside the cabinet. If the paint material is unqualified, the pollution is still very large. Due to the shortage of raw materials, the raw materials of finger joint plate can be divided into jointed and jointless. Due to the shortage of raw materials, the price of finger-joint board has increased year by year, especially the finger-joint board is difficult to buy now. Because of the wood texture characteristics of the board itself, there is no need to stick a veneer. Until now, there are still many furniture made of finger joints.

Third-generation board: the core material of eco-board is similar to that of large core board, and it is also spliced with wood strips, but now the splicing technology has made great progress and the amount of glue used is less. General brands of eco-boards rarely appear hollow. The front and back of the core material are no longer glued with plywood, but with melamine decorative boards with their own colors and textures.

The appearance of eco-board almost solved the shortcomings of finger joint board and large core board.

Advantages:

Environmental protection performance, the glue content of the eco-board is relatively small, and the veneer on the surface has strong sealing performance, so it is difficult to release harmful substances such as formaldehyde in the board. To judge the environmental performance of a material, besides the formaldehyde content of the material itself, it also depends on the tightness of the material, that is to say, it mainly depends on the formaldehyde emission of the material, while the formal cup test only measures the formaldehyde emission, not the formaldehyde content. Therefore, most eco-boards can meet the environmental protection E 1 standard, and some can even reach the higher E0 standard. The strength of the plate is better, and the nail holding ability is stronger. The existing splicing technology and tough veneer make the eco-board have high bearing strength in both horizontal and vertical directions. Due to the intensive splicing of plates, the nail holding ability is also excellent. Save construction time and have better appearance effect. The decorative panel on the surface of the eco-board is rich in color and delicate in texture, and no paint is needed inside or outside the cabinet. It not only saves the cost of paint materials, but also greatly shortens the time limit for making cabinets and improves the environmental protection. Since then, painters have gradually become painters, furniture paint is no longer used in home decoration, and paint shops only sell latex paint. Matters needing attention in hand-made wardrobe with eco-board.

Pay attention to the cover-up of nail holes. Because the wardrobe made of eco-board is assembled, there is no covering decoration on the surface, so it is easy to expose all kinds of nail holes in the cabinet made. A good carpenter will skillfully hide all kinds of nail holes, but some nail holes can't be covered, so we can only plug them with special nail hole covers. The ecological board is sealed at the edge. The most common method for field workers to make eco-panel wardrobes is to use a special "U"-shaped edge seal, but the color of the edge seal can not be completely consistent with the panel, and the edge of the "U"-shaped edge seal sample will be higher than the panel, which is unsatisfactory both visually and in hand. Only by customizing the machine edge sealing of wardrobe factory can this problem be solved. The board cut by the table saw of the carpenter on site is easy to collapse, but the edge sealing by small machine can not completely cover up these cracks. This is also the biggest defect of making wardrobes on site, which leads many people to choose custom wardrobes directly. Now there is even a professional plate processing factory, which is only responsible for cutting and sealing edges, and then sending the materials to the construction site for carpenters to make cabinets. After all, the cost of making a wardrobe on site is lower than that of customizing it by a processing factory (my last article analyzed the cost of making a wardrobe in various ways in detail, and you can have a look if you are interested). To sum up, it is more suitable for on-site carpentry to use ecological board as wardrobe only. Although the price of board is the highest, it saves the cost of artificial materials for painting and has a short construction period. The comprehensive price is the highest.
