Besides solid wood, what other environmentally friendly, beautiful and textured homes are there?

1. First-class wood: Korean pine, cypress, yew, camphor tree, nanmu, lattice wood, Dalbergia, rosewood, flower palm wood, boxwood, Cyclobalanopsis glauca, hickory, walnut, beech, manchurian ash, ironwood, rose wood, etc.

2. Second-class wood: Chinese fir, Fokienia hodginsii, torreya grandis, Liriodendron chinense, pear wood, Cyclobalanopsis glauca, Quercus acutissima, Sang Mu, jujube, phellodendron amurense and Fraxinus mandshurica.

3. Three kinds of wood: larch, spruce, pine, hemlock, ironwood, bauhinia, Dalbergia, Sophora japonica, birch, chestnut and Schima superba.

4. Four types of wood: Liquidambar formosana, Pu Shu, Dalbergia Dalbergia, Betula alnoides, Eucalyptus rubra, Eucalyptus albiflora and Paulownia.

5. Five types of wood: alder, Pterocarya stenoptera, balsa, Huang Tong, Holly, Ubuntu, etc.

However, as far as our company is concerned, beech teak is the best, because it is made of European classical furniture, so we don't use mahogany (this is the wood commonly used in China classical furniture). Pine is generally used in furniture, for putting pictures and files, and it rarely comes out, and so does paulownia. There are also many mahogany carvings, because the material is hard. Juglans mandshurica is the most widely used and a good choice for solid wood furniture.

In fact, even the best furniture material is Chinese fir, which is durable and moisture-proof, and clothes will not deteriorate when placed inside, making it the first choice in the south.

Brief introduction of solid wood furniture How many forms of solid wood furniture are there? One is pure solid wood furniture. In other words, all materials are unprocessed natural solid wood materials, and furniture made of wood-based panels is not used.

solid wood furniture

Including desktop, wardrobe door panel, side panel, etc. They are all pure solid wood, and no other forms of wood-based panels are used. Pure solid wood furniture requires high technology and materials. Material selection, drying, finger joint, flat-fell seam and other requirements of solid wood are very strict. If any process is not strictly controlled, there will be cracks, loose joints, deformation of the whole set of furniture, and even unusable. The other is imitation solid wood furniture. The so-called imitation solid wood furniture is the solid wood furniture in appearance. The natural texture, feel and color of wood are exactly the same as those of solid wood furniture, but it is actually a mixture of solid wood and man-made board, that is, particleboard or medium density fiberboard, and veneers are used for the top surface, bottom surface and shelf of side panels. Doors and drawers are made of solid wood. This process saves wood and reduces the cost. The price of a set of imitation solid wood bedroom furniture should be around several thousand yuan, while all solid wood furniture should be at least 1 ten thousand yuan; There are many imitations on the market now, so consumers can't pass the price appraisal, so we must master the appraisal method of solid wood.

Commonly used Furniture wood are Fraxinus mandshurica, Ulmus northeast, Eucalyptus willow, Cinnamomum camphora, Tilia lindleyana, Betula platyphylla, Teak, Beech, Cherry, Red sandalwood, Cedar, Taxus chinensis, Korean pine, Oak, Pineapple, Juglans mandshurica, Schima superba, Red sandalwood, neem and Red sandalwood.

Characteristics of solid wood furniture

1. Natural, environmentally friendly and healthy solid wood furniture reveals natural and primitive beauty. The reason why solid wood furniture lasts for a long time lies in its natural wood color. Wood-colored furniture is naturally free from chemical pollution, which is really a healthy fashion choice and meets the psychological needs of modern urbanites to advocate nature.

Secondly, in the choice of materials, taking domestic solid wood furniture as an example, the main types are beech, teak, maple, oak, oak, ash, elm, poplar and pine, among which ash, beech and oak are the most precious. These materials come from nature and reflect the harmonious relationship between man and the environment. Designers love to use these materials, together with the modern design concept of people-oriented and nature-oriented, which can make people closer to materials, people and nature and give people a sense of intimacy.

Thirdly, environmentally friendly solid wood furniture is the protagonist of the market. In the processing of solid wood furniture, compared with wood-based furniture, the amount of glue used is quite small. The amount of glue affects the environmental protection of furniture.

2. Long service life. The service life of panel furniture is generally 3-5 years. The service life of solid wood furniture is more than 5 times that of panel furniture.

3. Solid wood furniture has the function of preserving value. At the same time, it can bring a warm "woody smell" to the home environment, so it is quite popular among middle and high-end consumers. Its advantage is that it embodies nature: natural texture, changeable form, and beautiful patterns of wood can generally be seen on the surface of furniture.

4. Solid wood furniture has its own unique style and personality. The raw materials of solid wood furniture come from nature, which combines the essence of nature, and truly shows the unique taste of solid wood furniture: high-grade and heavy. It combines China's long-standing traditional culture and modern fashion factors into furniture design, giving it new connotation, making furniture design more humanized, practical and modern, creating a new trend of solid wood furniture and leading it.

Disadvantages of solid wood furniture The main disadvantage of solid wood furniture is that it is easy to deform and difficult to maintain. For example, you can't let the sun shine directly, you can't be too cold and overheated, and the environment that is too dry and humid is not suitable for solid wood furniture; If you don't pay attention when using it, the temperature and humidity will change too much, even the qualified solid wood furniture products will sometimes deform and crack. It can be said that no matter what kind of wood is used and how exquisite the workmanship is, it is difficult to avoid these problems.

Wood commonly used in solid wood furniture

1. Korean pine: light and soft material, moderate strength, good drying, water resistance and corrosion resistance, and good processability, painting, coloring and cementation.

2. White pine: the material is light and soft, elastic, fine and uniform in structure, good in drying, water resistance and corrosion resistance, and good in processability, painting and coloring cementation. White pine is stronger than Korean pine.

3. Birch: slightly hard material, fine structure, high strength, good processability, coating and gluing.

4. Paulownia: the material is very light and soft, the structure is thick, the cut water surface is not smooth, the dryness is good, and it does not crack. .

5. Basswood: the material is slightly light and soft, the structure is slightly thin, the luster is silky, it is not easy to crack, and the processability, painting, coloring and cementation are good. No corrosion resistance, slightly warping when drying.

6. Fraxinus mandshurica: slightly hard material, beautiful pattern, thick structure, easy processing, high toughness, good coating and gluing performance and average drying degree.

7. Elm: beautiful pattern, rough structure, good processability, poor drying, easy to crack and warp.

8. Oak wood: hard material, rough structure, high strength, difficult processing, good coloring and finishing, poor adhesion and easy to dry and crack.

9. Beech: hard material, flat texture, fine structure, wear resistance and luster, not easy to deform when drying, good processability, coating and gluing.

10. Maple: moderate weight, fine structure, easy processing, smooth section, good coating and gluing, and warping when drying.

1 1. Cinnamomum camphora: moderate weight, delicate structure, fragrant smell, difficult to deform after drying, and good processability, coating and gluing.

12. willow: moderate material, slightly coarse structure, easy processing, good adhesion and finishing performance. When it is dry, there will be slight cracks and warpage. Plywood made of wicker is called Philippine board.

13. rosewood: hard material, redundant texture, medium structure, corrosion resistance, not easy to dry, smooth section, good coating and gluing.

14. rosewood: hard material, redundant texture, rough structure, strong durability, luster and smooth section.

15. Wood-based panels, commonly used are plywood, plywood, fiberboard, particleboard, hollow board, etc. Because of the different combination structures of various wood-based panels, they can overcome the shortcomings of wood expansion, contraction, warping and cracking, so they have many advantages when used in furniture.

Everyone has a different understanding of home when purchasing solid wood furniture. How to decorate a perfect home with limited funds? In home decoration, many owners are concerned about the decoration cost. Therefore, we must make a good plan before the renovation. Only by making a good plan can we reduce the cost. Here, Bian Xiao specially synthesized the warmest home improvement information for you this winter, so that you can dress up the most beautiful home.

First, verify the solid wood.

One of the mysteries of judging whether it is solid wood furniture is: wood grain and scar.

For example, the exterior of a cupboard door looks like a pattern, so look at the corresponding pattern on the back of the cupboard door according to the position where the pattern changes. If the correspondence is good, it is a pure solid wood cabinet door.

In addition, watching knots is also a good way to identify solid wood: look at the position of the scarred side and find the corresponding pattern on the other side.

Second, judge the tree species.

This is a factor that directly affects the price and quality.

Ordinary solid wood furniture usually uses beech, white oak, ash, elm, beech, rubber wood and oak wood, while expensive mahogany furniture mainly uses rosewood, chicken wing wood and rosewood.

The solid wood furniture market is chaotic, and there are often things like shoddy and confusing tree species. It is best to buy brand-name products. At the same time, it should be noted that the price of wood is rising day by day, and it is absolutely fraud to be too cheap.

Third, observe the wood.

Open the furniture doors and drawers to observe whether the wood is dry and white, and whether the texture is tight and delicate. If there is furniture made of particleboard, density board and primary molding board, open the cupboard door or drawer and smell it to see if there is any irritating smell.

Fourth, look for defects.

There should be no big knots or cracks in the main stress parts of furniture, such as the columns near the ground between connecting columns and bearing rods. The structure is firm, the frame shall not be loose, and the tenon and material are not allowed to be broken.

Wood-based panel components used in furniture should be sealed, and all kinds of accessories should be installed without leaking nails or piercing nails.

Verb (short for verb) check the intensity.

The strength of the board surface can be pressed with your fingers to feel the firmness of the board surface. One side of the material should be fixed with a well-shaped skeleton. If the skeleton is sparse, it will feel empty and unreal according to the surface, and the panel will vibrate greatly. The bottom of the drawer should be pressed by hand to test the strength. Generally, the bottom of the partition is multi-layered, and the partition with large area should be five-layered.

Six, safety performance

Observe whether the drawer or door frame is tilted, whether the mortise position is crooked or whether the eye hole is too large and the tenon is not tight.

Wooden furniture should be safe and stable. When two cupboard doors are opened at 90 degrees, gently pull them forward by hand, and the cabinets should not automatically turn forward. The glass of the bookcase door should be edged; Mirrors and dressing tables should be equipped with backboards, and the glass surface should be fixed with layering. Individual parts of furniture (such as legs and feet, drawers, doors or brackets, etc.). ) must have enough support. You can nudge the upper corner of the furniture, or sit aside to see if the furniture is firm.

Seven, check the interface

Heavy furniture should be tightened and glued with protective blocks at the corners. As for the backboard, be sure to check whether the screws are embedded.

Eight, test slides

Drawers should be strong and firm, and screws should be tightened inside. You might as well open drawers, movable desktops, cupboard doors and other parts to see if they can be used freely and connected correctly.

Nine, touch the surface

Put your hand on the surface of the furniture, and carefully check whether the polished surface is smooth, especially whether the table feet and other parts are rough, whether there are streaks in the paint, whether the paint on the corners is too thick, and whether there are cracks and bubbles.

When the panel is covered with veneer and other materials, it should be similar to the color of the complete set of products, and the paint film on the surface of the product is not allowed to wrinkle, stick to paint or leak paint.

X. "inverted" test

Turn chairs and decorative furniture upside down and see how they are made.

Advantages and disadvantages of solid wood furniture show you the advantages and disadvantages of all kinds of solid wood.

First, what kind of wood is good for solid wood furniture?

Pine (Pinus massoniana, Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Mongolia)

Due to more and more attention to environmental protection, solid wood furniture began to increase slowly, among which pine furniture accounted for a large part, especially children's furniture, many of which were made of pine. There are two main materials for pine furniture, one is Pinus massoniana and the other is Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica is the main raw material of decorative man-made fiberboard. The texture of Pinus massoniana is straight or uneven, and its structure is medium and thick. The disadvantage is that it cracks seriously when it is dry. Not resistant to decay. Poor performance of paints and adhesives. Nail grip is strong, and it is relatively rarely used as woodworking board in furniture. The price of joinery board is generally about 3 times that of Chinese fir integrated board or large core board with the same specification. Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica is widely used as the material of mid-range solid wood furniture, and many log furniture are made of pine. Pine has a stronger texture and better wood. Compared with Chinese fir, the wood grain of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Mongolian yurts will be more beautiful and have fewer wooden scars.

manchurian ash

Fraxinus mandshurica is the most widely used decorative board, which is inseparable from its characteristics. Fraxinus mandshurica, a kind of wood of Fraxinus in Oleaceae, is mainly produced in northeast China, north China, Russian and other places. The biggest advantage of Fraxinus mandshurica is its lines, beauty and clarity. For example, as a decorative board or furniture, it can be painted with varnish or white. The disadvantage is that if it is solid wood furniture, the deformation is large, so if Fraxinus mandshurica is all solid wood, it should be spliced with small pieces of wood. Most of the Fraxinus mandshurica furniture seen in furniture stores is made of Fraxinus mandshurica solid wood as the main frame, and most of the areas are covered with Fraxinus mandshurica solid wood skin, which is because Fraxinus mandshurica has large deformation and contraction.

Oak (white oak, red oak)

Oak is also a kind of decorative wood that everyone likes. Oak is a common name. The scientific name of true oak is oak, which belongs to FAGACEAE and Quercus. Red oak is called red oak and white oak is called white oak. In fact, red oak is not really red, but the wood yellow is a little pink, and white oak is not white, but pale yellow, which makes the color difference of red oak and white oak not very big. Oak is characterized by hard, straight texture and structure. Mechanical strength is quite high, and wear-resistant, but wood is not easy to dry, saw and cut. At the same time, oak grain is different from straight grain and horizontal grain if it is deformed in a large area. Straight lines look better and are slightly more expensive. Pay attention to the use of oak. Many rubber trees in Southeast Asia pass off as oak, so pay attention to buying wood and furniture. For rubber wood, the identification method is that rubber wood has a smell, which is easy to be eaten by insects and corroded.

camphor tree

Its biggest feature is its strong fragrance, which can repel insects, prevent moth, prevent mildew and sterilize. Mothballs are made of spices extracted from camphor trees. The diameter of the tree is large, the width of the wood is wide and the pattern is beautiful. Cinnamomum camphora has delicate wood, beautiful natural texture, tough texture and is not easy to break. It has been the first choice of carving technology since ancient times. Camphor wood is mainly used in furniture backboards and drawer boards in decoration, especially suitcases, book boxes and cabinets. China's camphor box is famous at home and abroad. However, camphor wood is rarely used as a bed, because the fragrance of camphor wood will affect the quality of sleep, make people excited or even insomnia, and may also cause dizziness, general weakness, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.

elm

"A knot in one's eyes" means that people are not enlightened and it is difficult to give up. From this word, we can see some properties of elm. Ulmus pumila has a wide width and excellent texture. Small deformation rate, tough wood, clear texture, moderate hardness and strength, suitable for carving, smooth plane, beautiful chord pattern, and "chicken wing wood" pattern, which can be used for furniture and decoration. Elm furniture is rough in texture and simple in style. Moreover, elm is cost-effective. A China antique all-elm log dining table includes 6 chairs, which costs about 3,000-4,000 yuan.

beechnut?

Beech, also known as Fraxinus mandshurica, is produced in the south of China. Wood is strong and beautiful in texture, and can be used as a material for buildings and utensils. There are many kinds of Zelkova schneideriana, and its central substance is reddish brown, so it is named "Blood Zelkova". Some beech tree patterns are natural and beautiful, and the color is similar to rosewood. In ancient China, there was a saying that there were elms in the north and beech trees in the south, which meant that elms were mainly used for furniture in the north and beech trees were used for furniture in the south. Therefore, elm and beech used to be excellent materials for making furniture, which can be used as beds, tables and cabinets. Beech can also be used as decorative board, and red beech decorative board is used by many people.

walnut

Walnut wood, commonly known as walnut wood, is one of the precious wood deeply loved by people in the world. Especially in European countries, walnut, mahogany and oak are called the three precious woods. These kinds of wood are mostly used in high-grade European furniture, but in China, walnut is not as prominent as in Europe. Walnut has moderate to slightly hard and heavy hardness, fine and uniform fiber structure, strong toughness, especially excellent impact resistance and wear resistance, and has certain bending resistance and corrosion resistance. There are two kinds of domestic walnut trees: walnut and Juglans mandshurica. Walnut furniture is almost unique to Shanxi. Although there are some in other areas, they are not as excellent as those in Shanxi. Walnuts seen in the south are generally imported, and the prices of walnuts produced in different places are very different. Everyone should look at them clearly.

red sandalwood

The word mahogany originated in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, in order to distinguish traditional mahogany from yellow gorgeous furniture, hardwood imported from Southeast Asia with crimson heartwood was called mahogany. In modern times, our country combined with the traditional wood of Ming and Qing dynasties and re-established the standard of mahogany. The new national standard stipulates that 33 kinds of wood belonging to 2 families, 5 genera, 8 categories are called mahogany. These woods are classified as mahogany because they combine the attributes, textures, uses and social recognition of wood.

Fir wood

Chinese fir is the cheapest wood you can come into contact with. It is a unique fast-growing commercial timber tree species in China, characterized by fast growth, good material, straight grain, uniform structure, light and tough material, moderate strength, fragrant Chinese fir, wood containing "cedar brain", insect resistance and corrosion resistance, and easy processing. Chinese fir belongs to cork, which has two main disadvantages. One is that Chinese fir is a fast-growing wood, with a maturity of 4-6 years, fast timber production, loose natural wood fibers, soft surface due to high moisture content, and easy to be scratched by external forces. The second disadvantage is that there are many scars, and there is a black scar every short distance. Therefore, Chinese fir is generally less used to make furniture, but used to make paper pulp, blockboard, density board, particleboard, keel, or finger-jointed board as furniture inner baffle.

Second, the advantages and disadvantages of solid wood furniture materials

oak

Oak belongs to Quercus acutissima, belonging to the beech family. Its core is yellowish brown to reddish brown, with obvious growth rings, slightly wavy, heavy and hard, and distributed in Jilin in the north and Hainan and Yunnan in the south.

Characteristics of oak furniture:

Advantages:

1, with obvious mountain-shaped wood grain and good touch surface texture.

2, high-grade, suitable for European furniture.

Disadvantages:

1, there are few high-quality trees and the price is relatively high.

Because oak is hard and heavy, it is difficult to remove water.

Rubber wood

Rubber wood is native to Brazil, Malaysia, Thailand and so on. Produced in Yunnan, Hainan and coastal areas, it is the raw material of latex. Rubber wood is light yellow-brown, with obvious annual rings, dark bands on the rim and few tube holes. The wooden structure is thick and uniform. The texture is oblique and the wood is hard.

Advantages: smooth section, easy adhesion and good painting performance.

Disadvantages: Rubber wood has an odor, and it is easy to change color, rot and be eaten by insects because of its high sugar content. Not easy to dry, not wear-resistant, easy to crack, easy to bend and deform, easy to process wood, easy to deform when processing plates.

manchurian ash

Fraxinus mandshurica is mainly produced in northeast and north China of China. It is yellowish white (sapwood) or slightly yellowish brown (heartwood). The annual rings are obvious but uneven, with thick wooden structure, straight texture, beautiful patterns, luster and high hardness. Fraxinus mandshurica has the characteristics of elasticity, toughness, wear resistance and moisture resistance. But it's hard to dry and easy to warp. Good processability, but to prevent tearing. Smooth section, painted, good adhesion.

oak

Commonly known as oak. Heavy, hard, slow-growing, clear heartwood. The texture is straight or oblique, with strong water resistance and corrosion resistance, which is difficult to process, but the cutting surface is smooth and wear-resistant, which requires high adhesion and good paint coloring and finishing performance. Domestic furniture manufacturers mostly use oak as raw material.

Disadvantages of oak:

1, slow growth, long growth cycle (hundreds of years), few high-quality tree species.

2. The cementing requirements are very high, and the joints are easy to crack.

3. Processing is difficult and there are many processing defects.

walnut

Walnut is a kind of superior wood, mainly produced in North America and Europe. Walnut made in China is lighter in color. Black walnut is light dark brown with purple, and the cutting surface is a beautiful large parabolic pattern (mountain pattern). Black walnut is very expensive. Furniture is generally made of wood skin, rarely solid wood.

cherry

Imported cherry wood is mainly produced in Europe and North America, with light yellow-brown wood and elegant texture. The tangential section has a medium parabolic pattern with small circles. Cherry wood is also high-grade wood, furniture generally uses wood skin, rarely uses solid wood.

maple

Maple can be divided into soft maple and hard maple, belonging to temperate wood, which is produced from the south of the Yangtze River valley to Taiwan Province Province and the eastern United States. The wood is grayish brown to grayish red, the annual rings are not obvious, and the official holes are numerous, small and evenly distributed. The maple pattern is staggered, the structural kidney is thin and uniform, light and hard, and the pattern is excellent. Easy to process, the section is not smooth, and it is easy to warp when drying. The coating has good coating performance and strong adhesion. It is mainly used for pasting the thin surface of plate.

birch

Birch rings are slightly obvious, the texture is straight and obvious, the material structure is delicate, soft and smooth, and the texture is soft or moderate. Birch is elastic, easy to crack and warp when dry, and not wear-resistant. Good processability, smooth cross section, good painting and gluing performance. It is often used in carved parts, but it is used less now. The notable feature is a number of "waterlines" (black lines). Birch is a mid-range wood, and both solid wood and veneer are common.

beechnut?

Heavy, strong, impact resistant, easy to bend under steam, and can be made into various shapes. Nails have good properties, but they are easy to crack. It is unique to Jiangnan, with clear texture, uniform texture and soft and smooth timbre. It is heavier than most hardwoods and easy to crack when it is dried and processed in a kiln.

yearn for

Pine is a coniferous tree species (common coniferous tree species are pine, Chinese fir and cypress), which has the characteristics of pine fragrance, yellowish color, many boils, quick response to atmospheric temperature, easy expansion and extremely difficult natural air drying, so it needs manual treatment, such as drying, degreasing to remove organic matter, bleaching to unify tree color, neutralizing tree properties and making it difficult to deform.

New Zealand pine (Chile)

Light yellow in color, flat in texture, easy to dry, small in deformation, medium in mechanical strength and good in processability, and suitable for making furniture and various wood products.

Argentinean pine

The color is yellow, the density is relatively large, it is easy to crack and the color difference is obvious.

Brazilian pine (Uruguay)

Light yellow color, clear arts and sciences, medium mechanical strength, suitable for making furniture and various wood products.

Russian pine

It is the same product as Northeast Pine, and there are many kinds of Northeast Pine, including Korean Pine (with long growth period, fine texture and reddish color) and White Pine (with short growth period and thick texture). White pine includes many kinds. Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Mongolian pine, fish scale pine and cold sand are all northeast pine.
