The Most Commonly Used Materials for Wardrobe Cabinets

The cabinet board is the main component material of the wardrobe, and its performance determines the quality of the product paper. There are many types of boards that can be used to make wardrobes, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and different usage amounts. At present, there are two main types of boards used in wardrobe cabinets on the market.

Decorative panels

Melamine veneer: Melamine veneer is currently the most commonly used cabinet board in the overall wardrobe. Its performance has been introduced in the cabinet material, but the thickness of the board used in the wardrobe is different from that of the cabinet.

The common thickness specifications of double-faced MDF used in wardrobes are 5mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, etc. 5mm double-faced MDF is mainly used for cabinet backboards and drawer bottoms; 9mm double-faced MDF is mainly used for sliding door panels and lattice bottom panels; 12mm double-faced MDF is mainly used for drawer side panels and Internal partitions of the grid frame; 15mm double-faced MDF is mainly used for cabinet side panels, top and bottom panels, laminates, etc. The commonly used thickness specifications of double-faced particleboard are 16mm, 18mm, and 25mm. 16mm and 18mm double-faced particleboards are mainly used for cabinet side panels, top and bottom boards, shelves, drawer panels and leg lines, and top cabinet swing door panels. 25mm double-faced particleboards are mainly used for frame wardrobe shelves and sliding cabinets. Panel etc.

Thin wood veneer veneer: solid wood is made into various types of veneer and then pasted on medium density fiberboard and other boards using a hot press. It can be divided into veneer, integrated veneer, and artificial veneer. The range of choices is wide, so according to the type of veneer material And thickness determines the grade of thin wood veneer veneer. The surface of thin wood veneer panels must be painted, and the same thin wood veneer can produce different effects. Thin wood veneer veneer panels are the main veneer method currently used in high-end wardrobes due to their realistic feel, natural texture and higher grade. However, the material and manufacturing costs are relatively high.

Solid wood panels

Solid wood finger-jointed board: Also known as finger-jointed material, it is a board made of processed small-sized solid wood materials that are spliced together by length and width and thickness. Because the finger-shaped joints are used between the formwork, it is called finger-jointed board. . Since the log strips are cross-bonded, the structure itself has a certain bonding force and strong anti-deformation ability; and because there is no need to stick decorative panels up and down, and less glue is used, the environmental protection coefficient is relatively high, and It has good processing performance and is suitable for various types of processing such as cutting, drilling, and forming. Because solid wood finger-jointed boards not only retain the characteristics of solid wood, have standard format sizes, but are also convenient for industrial production, they are the first choice material for manufacturing solid wood integrated wardrobes.

Plywood and blockboard: Decoration companies commonly use fineboard and plywood as cabinet base materials for on-site production of wardrobes. Their performance characteristics have been introduced in "Cabinet Materials for Cabinets". However, as a wardrobe cabinet material, its surface decoration method is different from that of cabinets. The visible surface is usually decorated with thin wood decorative plywood, and the inside of the cabinet cannot be closed and decorated with adhesive plastic film (commonly known as Boeing software).

Edge banding material

In order to protect the aesthetics and protect the sides of the board, while preventing the release of harmful gases in the board, edge treatment must be performed on various boards of wardrobe cabinets. At present, the main method of edge processing of boards is to use an edge banding machine for edge banding. Usually, PCV edge strips are used for melamine veneer impregnated paper double veneer panels. Generally, 1.5mm thick edge strips are sealed on the front of the cabinet base material, and 0.6mm thick edge strips are sealed on the invisible edges; thin wood veneer veneer panels are used Thin wood edges in the same color. Hot melt adhesive is mostly used for edge sealing, which has strong adhesive force and can prevent defects such as edge degumming or blistering; blockboards are edge-sealed with wooden strips.
