How to choose blockboard, finger-joint board, plywood, veneer, and Ozon board is a headache for those who are in contact with decoration for the first time, but it is unavoidable. Here are some methods for identifying and purchasing boards. hope its good for U.S..
Decorative panels
Commonly known as the panel. It is a decorative board with a single-sided decorative effect made by precision-slicing solid wood boards into thin veneers with a thickness of about 0.2mm as the surface layer, using plywood as the base material, and gluing the process. It is a special form of plywood, with a thickness of 3mm, and a good panel can even reach 5mm, but most of them are 2.5-2.8mm on the market in Nantong. The name of the panel is distinguished according to the type of veneer on the surface layer. Currently, the most used panels are: red beech, white beech, red walnut, black walnut, purple rose, teak, Sapele, maple, and the higher-grade oak wait
The role of veneer is to cover the surface of various substrates, such as furniture, door and window covers, baseboards, door panels, etc., to play a decorative role. Different design styles will use different veneers.
The selection panel can be observed from the following aspects:
(1) Thickness of surface veneer The thicker the better, the stronger the feeling of solid wood after painting. The thickness of the surface layer can be observed directly from the edge of the board. In addition, clear water can also be dripped on the surface of the panel. If the bottom appears, it means that the surface layer is thin.
(2) Material of base material Meranti is the best base material, but its price is also high. Poplar wood is the most popular in Nantong market at present, and poor base material is easy to be deformed and warped when the humidity in the air changes.
(3) Appearance The texture of the panel should be arranged regularly and the color should be coordinated. No obvious black spots, knots and splicing should be visible when viewed from the front at a distance of 1.5m from the panel.
Pay attention to the protection of the panels during transportation and construction. Do not stick stains on the surface of the panels, and do not fray the corners, because stains (especially light-colored panels, such as maple) and worn panels are no longer accepted by merchants. A regular decoration company will paint the varnish immediately after the panel enters the site to protect the panel. If there are not enough panels during construction, it is best to bring a scrap of the original panel to avoid color difference between the newly replenished panel and the original panel. The decorative panel adopts clear water process during paint construction
After the veneer is painted, the color will become darker. The color of the panel after dipping in water is basically the color of the paint.
There are two factors for the price of a custom veneer, one is the base material, which has been mentioned above; the other is the veneer material, the rarer the veneer species, the more expensive the veneer. The prices of different veneers vary greatly. For example, the price of ordinary red beech board is about 30, while the expensive ones can be sold for more than 100. The grain of this veneer does not look as comfortable as natural veneer.
