Board furniture traps are more to buy, misunderstandings need to be avoided
Simple shape and high stability, these advantages make panel furniture more and more popular with consumers. But when choosing furniture , the sales staff gave a lot of statements-the heavier the plate, the better; the brighter the finish, the better; the imported plate is the best ... It is confusing. Are these statements correct? In this issue, we invite experts to point out the doorway for selecting sheet furniture.
Statement 1: The thicker the sheet, the better the quality?
During the interview, the reporter found that many salesmen will introduce that the thickness of the furniture sheet is large, so that the strength of the sheet is better. The reporter also found after personal experience that the sliding doors of some large- brand sheet wardrobes did indeed feel thicker, and some cheaper small-brand products made people feel light and flirty. Can the weight of the board really determine the quality?
Experts said: Luo Xin, director of the National Furniture and Indoor Environmental Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, said that although theoretically the heavier the plate, the stronger the strength and the better the nail holding force, but consumers do not need to excessively pursue the weight and thickness of the plate.
He introduced that the density of the particle board is clearly specified in the national standard. As long as it meets the standard, "it should be enough." In addition, for the desktop, the thickness of the board is larger, it may also bring a sense of solidity, but for the wardrobe Doors, etc. are mainly used for covering, and it is not necessary to be too thick.
Many plates look thick, but in fact, there are multiple layers of plates in the middle. "There may be a hollow inside. If it is solid, it is too heavy and unnecessary." In addition, Luo Xin also reminded that it is too heavy Will cause a burden on the hardware and affect its service life.
Statement 2: Can the wear resistance be measured with a key pad?
More than one salesperson chose to scratch the surface of the board with a key when showing the high quality of the brand's board finish, and then pointed out to the reporter that there was no trace on the board, and that the salesperson used a marker to write on the surface of the furniture and then wipe Easily wiped off to prove that the board has good stain resistance.
Experts said: National standards have clear requirements on the wear resistance and stain resistance of the surface of the plate. Luo Xin said that the presentation made by the salesperson is actually the minimum performance that the surface of the plate should have, and it cannot explain the problem. Because in the actual inspection, the detection methods and conditions are much stricter, such as stain resistance, the type of stain will have soy sauce, lipstick, etc. on the surface of the plate for a certain time, and then look at the effect.
Statement 3: Is the plate still imported?
When buying plate furniture , many consumers will struggle to choose whether to use domestically produced plates or imported plates. Some salesmen have spared no effort to promote imported plates: "Imported plates have the best environmental performance." But the price of imported plates is also higher than that of domestically produced plates The board height is about 20%.
Experts said: Luo Xin believes that, from the perspective of quality, the products of domestic large-scale plate companies are not worse than some imported plates, and all plates that meet national standards should pass the environmental protection performance and usability. It can only be said that some exporting countries have high levels of quality control and relatively stable product quality. He said that consumers do not have to be too superstitious, but choose according to their economic ability.
Statement 4: Neatly sealed edges can seal formaldehyde?
Some sales staff will also let consumers observe the edge banding of furniture when introducing their own furniture. "The edge banding of our plates is very strict, so that the formaldehyde can not be sealed inside, and less is released to the home. Some small manufacturers If the edge banding is damaged, you have to be careful, the formaldehyde has come out. "
Experts said: Whether the edge sealing of the artificial board is tight has little effect on the amount of formaldehyde released, because even if the sealing is tight, the formaldehyde will continue to be released, but the speed is slower per unit time. The damage to the edge banding has only accelerated the release rate, and the total amount of formaldehyde actually released is basically the same. Luo Xin said that the edge banding has a greater impact on the aesthetics. In addition, the strict edge banding can prevent the board from absorbing water and swelling after the water meets the phenomenon of edge bulging.
Statement 5: Should I choose MDF for panel furniture?
At present, most panel furniture is made of particle board, but there is a saying on the Internet that the same is artificial board, and the furniture made of MDF is superior in environmental protection and usability, so even if it is more expensive, Panel furniture made of MDF.
Experts said: Luo Xin said that the two artificial boards of particleboard and MDF are commonly used materials for making furniture, but there are still some differences in performance between the two. In general, particleboard has a greater advantage. First of all, MDF is an artificial board made of wood fiber and an appropriate amount of adhesive. Its density is uniform, suitable for multi-sided processing, and the cost is high. The particle board is made by cutting wood into wood shavings and then adding glue to press. It is characterized by good nail holding force, low expansion rate, and good control of the amount of free formaldehyde, and its sizing amount is also smaller than that of MDF, but it is only suitable for planar processing.
In general, it is enough to use chipboard for panel furniture. Only the parts where chipboard is not easy to process can be assisted by MDF. If MDF is used for the entire furniture, it is very wasteful.
How to choose the board for decoration
In addition to particle board and density board suitable for making furniture, there are two types of artificial board that we often use in decoration-plywood and large core board. However, the quality of products on the market is uneven. How can we distinguish the advantages and disadvantages? Please see expert tips.
1. Plywood
It is made by stacking and pressing multi-layer veneer. There are so-called Sanhe, Wuhe and Qihe boards in the market. At present, plywood uses core materials such as birch and poplar, which are not beautiful, so in order to look good, veneers are also attached as a finish, which also causes ordinary consumers to visually see the quality of products.
Luo Xin said that you can simply look at the cut to see if the core material is dense and there are no gaps. In addition, there should be no degumming or scarring on the surface. Some people think that it is possible to take a break and see the strength of the sheet, but Luo Xin said that it is difficult for non-professionals to feel.
2. Large core board
The core material of the large core board is made by sticking natural wood strips and then sticking the skin on the surface. This kind of plate has small deformation and good nail holding force. When selecting, the main observation is whether there are seams on the side strips and whether there is any decay. But Luo Xin also said that in the early years, there were also illegal businessmen who arranged the wood around the board very neatly, and the middle part added the second material. In this case, consumers cannot be identified as laymen. He advised consumers to choose large-brand products with relatively guaranteed quality, and not just want to be cheap.
TIPS sheet furniture also needs maintenance
Some white panel furniture bought back by consumers has turned yellow after being used for a period of time, and it seems that the stains are not easy to remove. Why is this? Luo Xin said that this is mainly due to the ultraviolet radiation, the surface of the board has been aging, and the stain resistance has also decreased. Luo Xin reminds consumers that sheet metal furniture also has a certain service life. The user needs to follow the relevant instructions in the instruction manual of the furniture during use. The furniture should not be exposed to the sun. It is best not to place heavy objects in the same position of the board for a long time, which may cause the board to deform.
