When we buy furniture, we usually encounter pine planks. Especially the furniture that is completely assembled, and some of the furniture we buy on the spot, many of which are made of pine boards. Pine planks give the impression that the texture of the wood is particularly clear and has a pine fragrance. But in custom homes, pine wood rarely appears. In fact, there is a reason for this. So what exactly is a pine plank? What are the advantages and disadvantages? In this article, the home miscellaneous altar will give you an answer to the question of pine board. We must also clarify these problems before choosing pine-paneled furniture.
(1): What is a pine plank? What are the features?
For pine boards, it is actually a kind of solid wood type of board. This is a kind of plate made by processing some solid wood slats or plates according to a specific processing method, which we call pine boards. For pine boards, you can understand the following four aspects. In fact, these aspects also reflect some of the characteristics of pine boards from another side. The specific inclusions are as follows.
(1) Raw material for pine boards. The raw material used for pine boards is pine. There are also many types of pine wood. In fact, many of the logs seen on the market now are mostly pine. Like our domestic pine, it is generally produced in the northeast. What we call pine wood panels is the use of pine wood as raw materials, in the use of special processing to make a kind of furniture panels, that is, pine boards.
(2) Production process. Pine boards are made using many blocks of wood inlay, and then using up and down pressed splints, not the overall use of jagged vertical planks, the direct use of the interface, in fact, similar to our cross-docking fingers, also known as finger joints. Therefore, pine board, in fact, its raw material is pine wood, the production process is finger joint, we can also call it solid wood finger joint board. The appearance of the pine board is made into a variety of texture maps according to our requirements. Of course, pine boards also have solid wood planks, but the price is more expensive.
(3) The type of pine board. Pine boards like the pine boards that are common on the market are still splints. Of course, there are also some solid wood planks. Pine planks, personally believe, are generally divided into three categories. The first type is the splint, also known as plywood fine core board, which is made of three or more layers of 1mm thick veneer or thin plate clamp hot pressing. It is currently the main material used in some handmade furniture. The second is solid wood planks. Solid wood board, that is, the use of pine wood as the raw material, and finally with the cutting process to make the board, this is the solid wood pine board. The third is the veneer. The veneer is a thin wood sheet made by precision planing solid wood boards into thin wood chips with a thickness of 0.2 mm, and the surface layer is made of decorative panels.
(4) Important Notice. For pine boards, we need to pay attention to one point, that is, the pine boards mentioned on the market now, in fact, most of them refer to pine wood finger joints. Like pine finger joints are divided into bright teeth and dark teeth. Dark teeth are the best, and we don't see the specific stubble. If the teeth are clear, stubble may be seen. In addition, it should be noted that when we choose pine boards, we must confirm the specific production process of this board.
(2): What are the advantages of pine boards?
For pine boards, we are still used more in our common assembly furniture. Some of the furniture we buy online is assembled at home, and a lot of it is pine planks. This shows that pine boards have their own unique advantages. To sum up personally, the advantages of pine boards are mainly as follows.
(1), log color, natural and beautiful. Like the pine planks we have chosen to buy, it can reflect the texture of some logs, giving people the feeling of log wind, very good-looking. In addition, because the material it uses is some native pine, the characteristics of native pine are naturally left behind. We can show these characteristics in the furniture, so that the characteristics of such a pure natural wooden furniture are displayed. The effect is really good.
(2), the board is more environmentally friendly, and has a certain fragrance, can refresh the mind. Pine wood board is also more corrosion resistant, and according to its production process, its glue content is also very small, especially the solid wood pine board is almost without any glue, so we do not have to worry about environmental protection. In addition, there is a fragrance that can make people feel relaxed. Therefore, pine board is an optional environmentally friendly high-quality plate.
(3), the service life of pine boards is still relatively long. Furniture like some pine panels assembled in our home almost do not require maintenance, which can guarantee a long service life. This is because the material of the pine itself is very strong and not easy to be damaged, so the quality of the furniture we make of these pines is relatively good. It can be said that the furniture of pine wood boards has a longer lifespan than the furniture of synthetic panels.
(3): What are the disadvantages of pine boards?
In fact, for the shortcomings of pine boards, everyone also needs to understand. Because pine boards are limited by raw materials, they will cause some problems. For the more typical defects of pine boards, I personally believe that the main two points are as follows.
(1) The fire performance is relatively poor. Because the raw material of pine planks is pine wood, it is flammable. Everyone knows that pine wood contains materials similar to greases, which have the function of fueling combustion after catching fire. That is to say, the pine plank will become more and more prosperous after the fire, and it is difficult to extinguish. Therefore, for the use of pine wood panels, public areas with high requirements for fire prevention are not allowed. For home improvement, I personally think that some assembled furniture is completely usable, but for custom furniture try not to use.
(2) Pine planks are prone to cracking. This is also due to a characteristic of pine wood. The wood used to make pine planks contains more moisture. After making the plate, the moisture content of the wood is not well controlled, which may lead to cracking of the wood dehydration. So there is a problem to note here, that is, the furniture of pine boards can not be used in a humid environment, because it will be easy to crack the board after a long time.
Conclusion
Regarding pine boards, in home decoration, in fact, it is not particularly used now. Like our custom furniture basically no longer use pine boards, and pine boards are currently used more is some simple assembly furniture. For example, some of the tables and chairs we buy from the Internet may be pine planks. In fact, the furniture made of pine wood panels is still good, has the natural texture of wood, and has a fragrance, and is very environmentally friendly. So if we renovate our home, we must clarify the characteristics of the pine board, and do not choose the board wrong. To sum up, pine boards are not suitable for custom furniture, but are more suitable for some simple assembly of furniture.
