How to choose the best 7 customized panels for the whole house?

What are the types of panels available for whole house customization, and what are their respective characteristics and advantages/disadvantages? What is more environmentally friendly, what is suitable for cabinets, what panels are usually used for cabinet doors, and what should be chosen for kitchen sinks and bathroom waterproof panels? Today, this article will make it clear to everyone:

7 major advantages, disadvantages, and properties of customized whole house panels
1、 7 types of sheet metal
At present, there are seven commonly used types of panels for whole house customization, ranked in ascending order of synthetic particle size:

① Density board;

② Particle board;

③ Hexiang board;

④ European pine board;

⑤ Multi-layer board;

⑥ Large core board;

⑦ Finger joint board.

2、 Full house customized panel properties and advantages and disadvantages
1. Density board

Simple understanding: It is the process of turning wood into powder, adding glue, and synthesizing boards under heating and pressure;

Advantages: relatively cheap, can be molded into shapes;

Disadvantages: Poor moisture resistance, weak nail grip, and swelling when exposed to water ..

Common scenarios: Some European and French styles require some styling on the door panel. In this case, a more economical approach is to use density board molding.

2. Particle board

Simple understanding: It is the process of breaking wood into small particles, adding glue, and synthesizing boards under heating and pressure;

Advantages: High strength, good stiffness, strong nail grip, making it the main force in the European or domestic home artificial board market;

Disadvantages: The surface is not smooth, the flatness is not as good as that of density board, and it is difficult to make shapes/arcs;

Common scenarios: Whole house customization, except for some special requirements and scenarios, most of the cabinet parts are most commonly used; Of course, cabinet doors are also commonly used.

3. Hexiang board

Simple understanding: It is the process of breaking straw from some crops into small particles, adding MDI glue, and synthesizing boards under heating and pressure;

Advantages: It has the advantages of particle board, and is also more environmentally friendly, soundproof, and moisture-proof;

Disadvantages: Same as particle board;

Common scenarios: Used as cabinet and cabinet door materials for whole house customization.

4. Ousong board

Simple understanding: It is a composite board made by cutting some wood into slices and adding some treatments (such as degreasing, directional paving, hot pressing, etc.).

Advantages: Strong nail grip, high strength, good moisture resistance;

Disadvantages: Poor surface smoothness, inferior fire and sound insulation compared to particle board;

Common scenario: Upgraded and strengthened version of particle board, commonly used for cabinet body and cabinet door materials, especially cabinet doors.

5. Multi-layer board

Simple understanding: It is a board made by spinning logs into pieces, laying them layer by layer, and bonding them together with glue, also known as’ plywood ‘.

Advantages: Good moisture resistance and strong weather resistance;

Disadvantages: Poor molding force, average environmental friendliness, easy to bend and deform;

Common scenarios: commonly used for making cabinets, especially in spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms that require high moisture resistance; But it is not conducive to making long cabinet doors and is prone to deformation.

6. Large core board

Simple understanding: It is to lay small glued wooden strips in a staggered manner (similar to pasting flooring), and then press two layers of surface boards on the top and bottom together. Because it is easy to cut and loved by carpenters, it is also commonly known as’ fine woodworking board ‘.

Advantages: Good screw grip, high strength, easy cutting and processing, environmentally friendly, and long service life;

Disadvantages: Easy to deform and crack, susceptible to insect infestation, and susceptible to moisture;

Common scenarios: commonly used for making (except for kitchen and bathroom) cabinet parts; Not conducive to making long cabinet doors, prone to deformation.

7. Finger joint board

Simple understanding: It is to lay small wooden strips in a staggered manner, similar to a large core board. The difference is that the joint board is formed by splicing between tenons, and the two ends of the wooden strips are like wooden combs, and then ‘ten fingers are interlocked’ to form the joint board. Compared with the large core board, the finger joint board does not have a surface board interlayer, which can be said to be the 2.0 version of the large core board.

Advantages: Strong environmental friendliness, good nail grip, high strength, easy cutting and processing, long service life;

Disadvantages: Easy to deform and crack, susceptible to insect infestation, and susceptible to moisture;

Common scenarios: commonly used for making (except for kitchen and bathroom) cabinet parts; Not conducive to making long cabinet doors, prone to deformation.

3、 What kind of board is good for whole house customization?
1. Cabinet part

Economical and affordable, choose particle board;

For those with environmental requirements, Hexiang board;

Kitchen and bathroom cabinets can be pulled out and made of multi-layer boards;

Adequate budget, all cabinets are made of multi-layer boards/European pine boards;

Not lacking in money, referring to connecting boards or solid wood mixed with oil.

2. Cabinet door section

For those who have a demand for European or French styling and are tight on hand, use density board compression molding; Not bad for money, solid wood carving mixed with oil.

No styling, cost-effective, choose particle board; For those with environmental requirements, Hexiang board; Adequate budget, Europine board.
