The way to choose panels The soul of custom furniture cabinets

In the world of custom furniture, the selection of cabinet panels is like the foundation of a building, determining the overall quality and service life. Faced with a wide variety of board types on the market, consumers often feel confused. This article will explain to you how to scientifically choose cabinet panels to create a home space that is both beautiful and practical.

 

Environmental performance is the primary consideration when choosing boards. The national standard classifies the formaldehyde emission of artificial boards into three grades: E1, E0, and ENF. The ENF grade (≤0.025mg/m³) is currently the strictest environmental protection standard. It is recommended to give priority to choosing products with authoritative certifications (such as CARB certification, FSC certification), especially for children’s room and bedroom furniture, where the formaldehyde emission should be strictly controlled.

 

Physical properties are equally crucial. Particleboard has a fine texture and is suitable for carving and shaping, but it has poor moisture resistance. Particle board has a high cost performance and good stability, making it the ideal choice for most cabinets. Multi-layer solid wood boards have high bending strength and are suitable for load-bearing parts. Ecological boards have outstanding moisture-proof performance and are suitable for damp environments such as kitchens and bathrooms. Consumers should choose based on the purpose of the cabinet: For bookcases, the load-bearing capacity should be considered, and multi-layer solid wood or thick particle board should be selected. For kitchen cabinets, it is necessary to pay attention to moisture-proofing. Ecological boards or stainless steel cabinets are more suitable.

 

From an aesthetic perspective, different boards present distinct decorative effects. Solid wood veneer panels retain the natural grain of wood and are suitable for consumers who pursue a natural texture. The lacquered board comes in a variety of colors and can meet the demands of modern styles. Acrylic sheets have a high gloss and are easy to create a light luxury atmosphere. When making a choice, one should not only consider personal aesthetic preferences but also pay attention to the coordination and unity with the overall decoration style to avoid visual conflicts.

 

Choosing cabinet body panels is an art of balance, which requires finding the best combination point among environmental protection, performance, aesthetics and budget. It is recommended that consumers fully understand their own needs before making a purchase, request small samples of the boards for comparison, and ask the merchant to provide a formal test report. Remember, a good choice of board materials not only concerns the current aesthetics but also affects the usage experience in the next ten years. It is worth your more effort to make a wise decision.
