Wood can be classified in various ways, depending on the material used, the manufacturing process, or its intended application. Understanding these classifications helps in selecting the most suitable type of wood panel for different construction and interior design purposes.
First, based on material classification, wood panels are generally divided into two major categories: solid wood panels and wood-based panels. While solid wood panels are still used for flooring and door panels, most of the panels we commonly use today are manufactured wood products. These artificial panels are more cost-effective and easier to work with during installation.
Second, according to their molding and structure, wood panels can be categorized as solid boards, plywood, fiberboard, decorative panels, fireproof boards, and more. Each type has unique characteristics that make it suitable for specific applications.
Now let's look at some common types of wood panels:
1. **Solid Wood Panels**
Also known as solid boards, these are made from a single piece of wood. They are strong, durable, and have a natural wood grain. However, they are expensive and require careful handling during installation, which limits their use in modern interior design.
2. **Plywood (Splint)**
Plywood is also called a "thin core board" and consists of three or more layers of thin veneer glued together. It’s widely used in handmade furniture due to its stability and affordability. Plywood comes in different thicknesses, such as 3mm, 5mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, and 18mm.
3. **Decorative Panels**
These are panels with a decorative surface, typically made by applying a thin layer of real wood veneer onto a base material like particleboard or MDF. They offer an elegant finish and are often used in high-end interiors. The thickness of these panels is usually around 3cm.
4. **Blockboard (Large Core Board)**
Blockboard, or large core board, is made by sandwiching two layers of veneer around a central core. It is less expensive than plywood but has lower bending strength in the vertical direction, though it performs better in lateral strength.
5. **Particleboard**
Made from wood chips and sawdust mixed with adhesive and pressed into sheets, particleboard is very affordable but lacks structural strength. It is not ideal for heavy or load-bearing furniture, but it works well for lightweight cabinets or shelves.
6. **MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard)**
MDF is made from wood fibers combined with resin and pressed under heat and pressure. It is softer and easier to cut and shape compared to other panels. MDF is widely used in furniture making abroad, but in China, the quality of MDF is still below international standards, requiring improvement.
7. **Fireproof Board**
This is a special type of decorative panel made from materials like silicon or calcium, along with fibers and additives. It undergoes autoclaving to enhance its durability and fire resistance. Fireproof boards are becoming increasingly popular, though they require high-quality adhesives during installation and tend to be more expensive than regular decorative panels. Their thickness usually ranges from 0.8mm to 1.2mm.
8. **Melamine Board**
Melamine board is a decorative panel made by impregnating paper with melamine resin and pressing it onto a particleboard or MDF base. It is commonly used as a wall covering and is not recommended for use as a substitute for composite flooring due to its lack of durability and wear resistance.
In summary, each type of wood panel has its own advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the right one depends on the project requirements, budget, and desired aesthetic. Understanding these differences ensures better decision-making in both residential and commercial construction.
