In the production of plywood, many different color varieties have been derived. The most common one is to attach a thin layer decorative wood veneer to the surface of the original plywood, which is called decorative veneer laminated plywood. In the market, it is simply referred to as decorative board or veneer panel. It is worth noting that the common decorative veneer panels are divided into natural wood veneer panels and artificial thin wood veneer panels. Natural wood veneer is made from precious natural wood through methods such as planing or rotary cutting. Artificial thin wood is made by rotary cutting low-priced logs into veneers, then pressed with certain processes to form wood blocks, and finally planed to produce decorative thin wood with beautiful patterns. Usually, the decorative veneer boards used for natural wood veneer panels are often from tree species with good patterns and high value, such as walnut, oak, rosewood, birch, maple and ash etc. 1) Decorative veneer-faced plywood is a type of artificial board made by gluing natural decorative veneers onto plywood. The decorative veneer is a thin wood sheet produced by planing or rotary cutting methods using high-quality wood. 2) Characteristics of decorative veneer-faced plywood: Decorative veneer-faced plywood is one of the most commonly used materials in interior decoration. Since the decorative veneer on the surface of this product is made from high-quality wood through planing or rotary cutting methods, it has better decorative performance than plywood. This product is natural, simple, and elegant, and can create a living environment that is highly compatible and refined with people. 3) Types of decorative veneer-faced plywood: Decorative veneer-faced plywood can be classified into single-sided decorative veneer-faced plywood and double-sided decorative veneer-faced plywood based on the decorative surface; It can be divided into Class I decorative veneer-faced plywood, Class II decorative veneer-faced plywood and Class III decorative veneer-faced plywood according to water resistance performance; It can be categorized into radial decorative veneer-faced plywood and tangential decorative veneer-faced plywood based on the texture of the decorative veneer. The most common type is single-sided decorative veneer-faced plywood. |

MDF medium-density fiberboard is a kind of artificial board made from wood fibers or other plant fibers. After being crushed, separated, and dried, it is treated with urea-formaldehyde resin or other suitable adhesives, and then undergoes heat pressing to form. Its density is generally between 0.5 and 0.8 g/cm³, and it belongs to medium-density fiberboard. Medium-density fiberboard is actually a density board. This type of board has good moisture absorption and water absorption properties. The surface of the medium-density fiberboard is relatively smooth, which is conducive to the adhesion of some decorative materials, so it is convenient and can also save paint. MDF veneering refers to the process of attaching wood veneer, stickers, or other materials to a medium-density fiberboard (MDF). MDF, or medium-density fiberboard, is a type of board made by mixing wood fibers or other plant fibers with a bonding agent and then subjecting it to heat pressing. It has good flatness and stability, but its own decorative quality is relatively poor. Therefore, it often needs to undergo processes such as veneering to enhance its aesthetic appeal. There are various types of veneering materials, including natural wood veneer, resin-impregnated paper, PVC plastic films, etc. These veneer materials are adhered to the surface of the MDF using adhesives, which can give the board rich colors and textures, thereby enhancing the overall visual effect of furniture or decoration materials. The advantages of MDF medium-density fiberboard are as follows:
The MDF material is fine, the performance is stable, and the shape is simple. There will be no rot, insect damage, etc. In addition, it is quite excellent in resisting bending and impact. However, MDF has poor moisture resistance. When exposed to water, it is prone to expansion and deformation. |
