How to choose plate furniture

Selection of plate furniture to avoid misunderstanding statement 1: The thicker the plate, the better the quality?

During the visit, the reporter discovered that many salesmen will introduce that the thickness of the furniture plate is large, so the strength of the plate is better. After personally experiencing the reporter, he also discovered that the sliding doors of some large-brand plate wardrobes do pull up and feel thicker. Some inexpensive small brand products make people feel light and fluttering. Can the weight of the sheet really determine the quality?

Experts said: National Bureau of Furniture and Indoor Environment Quality Supervision and Inspection Center Luo Hao said that although the theoretically the heavier the strength of the plate will be relatively high, nail holding power will be better, but consumers do not need to excessively pursue the weight and thickness of the plate.

He explained that the particleboard board clearly states its density in national standards. As long as it complies with the standard, "it should be sufficient." In addition, for the desktop, the thickness of the board is larger, it may also bring a sense of thick, but the wardrobe Doors, etc., mainly act as shelters, and are too thick to be necessary.

Many plates look thick, but in fact the middle layer is a combination of multi-layer plates. “There may be hollow inside. If it is solid, it is too heavy and unnecessary.” In addition, Luo Ye also reminded that it is too heavy. The plate will impose a burden on the hardware and affect its service life.

Statement 2: Can you measure wear resistance with a key stroke?

More than one salesman chose to use the key to draw back on the surface of the board when he showed that the quality of the brand sheet was high, and then pointed out to the reporter that there was no trace on the board, and that the salesperson used the marker to write freely on the surface of the furniture and then used a rag Easily wipe off to prove that the board has good stain resistance.

Experts say: The national standard has clear requirements on the wear resistance and stain resistance of the sheet surface. Luo Ye said that the salesman's demonstration is actually the minimum performance that the surface of the board should have, and it cannot explain the problem. Because in the actual test, the detection means and conditions are much more stringent, such as the stain resistance, the type of stain will have soy sauce, lipstick and other effects on the surface of the plate for a certain period of time, and then look at the effect.

Argument 3: Is plate or imported good?

When purchasing plate furniture, many consumers will be tangled in choosing domestic or imported plates. Some salesmen have also spared no effort to introduce imported plates: “The environmental performance of imported plates is the best.” However, the price of imported plates is also higher than that of domestic products. The board is about 20% higher.

Experts said: Luo Ye believes that from the quality point of view, the current domestic large-scale sheet metal products are not worse than some imported sheet metal, and any sheet that meets the national standards should be subject to environmental performance and use. It can only be said that some exporting countries have a high level of quality control and product quality is relatively stable. He said that consumers do not have to be superstitious or choose their own economic ability.

Statement 4: Neatly sealed, you can seal the formaldehyde?

Some salespersons will also let consumers observe the edge of the furniture when they introduce their own furniture. “The edges of our plates are all very tight, so that the formaldehyde will not get out in the inside and will be released into our homes. Some small manufacturers If you have broken edges, you must be careful that formaldehyde will come out."

Experts say: The tightness of the man-made board seal has little effect on the amount of formaldehyde released, because even if the seal is tight, the formaldehyde will continue to release, but it is only slower in unit time. The broken edge of the seal, the release rate is only accelerated, the actual amount of formaldehyde released is basically the same. Luo Yu said that the edge of the greater impact on the aesthetics, in addition to strict sealing edge can prevent the water swelling after the plate encounter water, there edge phenomenon.

The saying 5: plate furniture to choose density board?

At present, most of the panel furniture is made of particle board, but there is a saying on the network that artificial panels are also used. The furniture made of MDF is superior in terms of environmental protection and usability, so even if it is more expensive, A panel furniture made of density boards.

Experts said: Luo Hao said that particleboard and density board are two kinds of man-made materials commonly used in the production of furniture, but there are still some differences in performance, overall, particleboard advantage is greater. First of all, the density board is a man-made board made of wood fiber and an appropriate amount of adhesive. Its density is uniform, suitable for multi-face processing, and the cost is higher, while the particle board is made by cutting wood into shavings and pressing it with glue. It is characterized by good nail holding force, low expansion rate, and good control of free formaldehyde. Its sizing amount is also smaller than that of density plates, but it is only suitable for plane processing.

In general, the panel furniture uses a chipboard foot spatula, which is only assisted by a density board where the chipboard is not easily machined. If the entire furniture is made of MDF, it is very wasteful.

How to choose the decoration board in addition to the production of furniture, particleboard and density board, there are two types of artificial board is often used in our decoration - plywood, Daxinban. However, the products on the market are mixed. How can we discern the advantages and disadvantages? See expert advice.

1. Plywood It is made by laminating multi-layer veneer. There are so-called three-, five-, and seven-fold boards on the market. Due to the current use of birchwood and poplar wood as core materials for plywood, the veneers have been affixed with veneer as a veneer, which has caused ordinary consumers to not intuitively see the quality of the products.

Luo Ye said that it can be simply seen from the incision to see if the core material is dense and there are no gaps. In addition, there should be no degumming or licking on the surface. Some people think that they can take a look at the strength of the plate, but Luo Sheng said that it is difficult for non-professionals to feel it.

2. Daxin board

The core material of the big core board is a natural wood stick, and then made of surface skin. This kind of plate has small deformation and good nail holding power. When picking, the main observation is whether there are seams on the side bars and there are no rots. However, Luo Hao also said that in the early years, there were also unscrupulous traders who had placed the surrounding wood on the plates neatly, and the middle part added the second material. In this case, consumers are indistinguishable as laymen. He advises consumers to choose a brand product that is relatively safe in quality, and not just for cheap.

TIPS: Plate furniture also needs to be maintained Some consumers buy back white panel furniture and use it for a while and turn yellow, and it seems that the stain is not well removed. Why is this? Luo Yu said that this is mainly due to the irradiation of ultraviolet rays, the panel surface has experienced aging, and the dirt resistance performance has also declined. Luo Yu reminds consumers that the plate furniture also has a certain service life. Users need to comply with the relevant instructions in the instruction manual of the furniture during use. Do not expose the furniture to the sun. It is better not to place heavy objects in the same position for a long time. This may cause deformation of the sheet.
