Properties and advantages-disadvantages of wood in built-in work
Built-in work is widely popular because the needs of people in using the space in each room are different. Sometimes, choosing to buy freestanding furniture may not meet the desired usage or limitations in terms of space, such as the narrowness, slope of the floor and walls that are not equal. Therefore, built-in work meets the needs of the function very well. In this article, Too Architects will present information about the types of wood panels that are popularly used in built-in work, each type has different advantages, disadvantages, properties and types of use. This is information for those interested in built-in work and knowledge for those who are looking for built-in furniture to put in their homes.
Particle board Or in some countries called chipboard (Chipboard) has a production process by bringing wood chips and sawdust to be bonded together with chemicals and then crushed with high pressure mixed with glue. The wood will be tough but not tight. The toughness comes from the bonded fibers. But the wood will be fluffy, rough, not tight. There will be many small air holes in the wood. Generally, it will be only 15 and 20 mm thick.
MDF is produced by carefully processing pieces of wood mixed with special glue and pressed into sheets using a high-quality press. The most popular woods are eucalyptus and rubber wood. The resulting wood surface is smooth, dense and non-porous. It is usually covered with veneer, laminate or melamine. The standard size of MDF sold in the market is 1.22 x 2.45 meters (4 x 8 feet) per sheet. The thickness that is popularly used for furniture is various, from 3 millimeters to 25 millimeters, depending on which part of the furniture it will be used for assembly or weight support.
HMR wood is produced by carefully processing pieces of wood and pressing them together with special glue that is moisture resistant, making it suitable for use in areas with high humidity. The wood is green because green is mixed in the wood to make it easy to separate from MDF and HDF. It is popular to CNC, paint or cover the surface with veneer, laminate or melamine. The standard size of HMR wood sold in the market is 1.22 x 2.45 meters (4 x 8 feet) per sheet. The thickness that is popularly used for furniture is various sizes, from 3 millimeters to 25 millimeters, depending on which part of the furniture will be used to assemble or support the weight.
HDF wood is a high-density fiberboard produced by carefully processing wood and then pressing it together with a special glue that is highly effective in resisting moisture. For HDF Super E0 wood, a special glue formula is used that is free of formaldehyde, making it odorless and safe to use. HDF wood has additional layers of wood, making it denser than MDF and HMR wood. This results in a dense board with high strength, suitable for work that requires force or impact resistance.
Plywood is made by slicing wood into thin sheets and pressing them together using glue as a binder. The binding of the plywood is to arrange each thin sheet so that the grain is perpendicular to each other, increasing strength and reducing expansion in the plane of the wood sheet as little as possible.
The production process of OSB wood is to take flat, thin and long pieces of wood and place them alternately, perpendicular to each other at least 3 layers, then use special glue and resin as a mixture through a process of pressing with heat and high pressure.
