As we all know, wall panels are an important home decoration. They affect the overall aesthetics and determine the durability, environmental protection, and comfort of the room.
The composition of wall panels of different materials varies greatly, and each has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of moisture resistance, structural strength, and environmental protection performance. Therefore, choosing the right wall panel material is a key factor in home decoration design when decorating a house.
Eco-board is a new type of interior decoration profile, also known as paint-free board, antibacterial board, or clean board, made of veneer technology.
The board structure consists of face paper, decorative paper, covering paper, and base paper. The face paper is used to protect the decorative paper, the decorative paper provides various patterns to increase the beauty, and the covering paper is used to cover the color spots on the surface of the substrate.
The production process of the ecological board is to soak paper of different colors or textures in ecological board resin adhesive, dry it to a certain degree, and then lay it on the surface of various hard fiberboards, and then heat press to form decorative boards.
Advantages of Eco-board
Eco-board is an environmentally friendly material made of natural wood and environmentally friendly glue. It has excellent environmental characteristics and is very suitable for families who pay attention to health.
Due to the stable structure and high strength of the eco-board, it is suitable for a variety of environments, especially for decoration in bedrooms and living rooms.
In addition, the eco-board has a natural texture and can add a warm wood feel to the interior.
Disadvantages of Eco-Board
Eco-board is expensive, especially when used in large areas, which puts a lot of pressure on the budget. Compared with other materials, the fire resistance of eco-board is slightly worse, and additional safety measures are required in some cases.
Solid wood multilayer board is also called plywood, three-ply board, and three-ply board. It is a multilayer board made by first peeling wood segments into veneers or planing wood blocks into veneers, and then gluing and hot pressing multiple layers of veneers.
Usually, it is an odd number of veneers, and the fibers of adjacent layers of veneers are glued vertically to each other.
Advantages of solid wood multilayer boards
Solid wood plywood is made of multiple layers of wood veneer glued together, so it has a stable structure and strong pressure resistance. In addition, it has good moisture resistance and is suitable for use in humid environments such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Due to its high strength and good durability, plywood is widely used in cabinets, wardrobes, and other fields.
Disadvantages of solid wood multilayer boards
Solid wood multilayer boards require a lot of glue in the production process, so they may contain formaldehyde. Although there are also environmentally friendly multilayer boards on the market, the price is relatively high.
Particleboard, also known as solid wood particleboard, is made of various materials such as logs and branches. After chipping, qualified shavings are formed, and then dried, screened (surface and core shavings), mixed with glue, paved, continuously hot pressed, cured, sanded, and other processes. It is currently the board with the best comprehensive performance.
Advantages of particleboard
Particleboard is a common economical material in home decoration. It is low-cost but can meet a variety of design requirements.
With its advantages of high strength, easy automated processing, high-cost performance, good nail holding force, and low difficulty in environmental protection control, it has become the mainstream board used for whole house customization.
Disadvantages of particleboard
Particleboard has poor moisture resistance and is prone to expansion and deformation when exposed to moisture for a long time. In addition, its load-bearing capacity is weak and it is not suitable for furniture or structures that need to bear loads.
Density fiberboard is made of wood fiber or other plant fiber, which is hot-ground into powder and then hot-pressed with glue.
According to the density, it can be divided into ultra-low density fiberboard, low-density fiberboard, medium-density fiberboard, and high density fiberboard. The most commonly used are medium-density fiberboard and high density fiberboard.
Advantages of Density board
Density board has a smooth surface, is easy to paint and process, and is suitable for making furniture or wall panels with complex shapes.
Its high-density structure ensures the hardness and strength of the board, so it is often used for the decoration of high-end furniture and some projects.
Disadvantages of density board
The density board has strong water absorption and is prone to expansion or deformation in a humid environment. In addition, it is heavy and inconvenient to carry, requiring a lot of manpower costs during the construction process.
Core board, also known as joinery board, is a decorative profile made by attaching two layers of decorative veneer to the outside of integrated boards such as finger-jointed board, particle board, or plywood.
There are many types of finishes, and the commonly used ones are melamine finish, solid wood veneer finish, and paint finish.
Advantages of large core board
The large core board has the advantages of high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, moisture resistance, good fire resistance, not easy to change color, and high-cost performance.
Disadvantages of large core boards
The structure of large core boards is unstable, difficult to process and shape, and prone to cracking and deformation.
When choosing wallboard materials, you should consider their environmental friendliness, budget, ease of construction, and specific usage scenarios.
Eco-boards are suitable for families that pursue high environmental protection and high quality, and multi-layer boards are suitable for humid environments. Particleboards and particle boards are economical choices for decoration projects with limited budgets. MDF is suitable for decoration occasions with complex shapes and high durability requirements.
Ultimately, no matter which wallboard you choose, you must combine personal preferences, budget, and actual needs.
