Tips on choosing furniture

Basic materials for furniture manufacturing is divided into 3 categories: wood, laminated board, MDF.

Wood: Of course the best quality material, but also the most expensive. The advantages of wood is that there is high resistance and allows various forms. Of course it has its drawbacks: the diversity of colors is not very great, quality wood furniture is extremely expensive, low grade furniture from wood (usually pine) are nekachestveno made. In some cases, wooden furniture are cheaper than those made of PDCH, but usually these furniture, wood is not allowed to dry sufficiently as a result of which, after some time distorts and tsepi.

IMPORTANT: The purchase of expensive wooden furniture you ensure that quality made! If you’ve decided to stop this material examine in detail the manufacturers of furniture to make sure quality.

PDCH: The most common material in the manufacture of furniture. What is the Ploskost of wood particles that are ground wood chips glued with special resins, pressed and covered with laminate. Advantages of the material are low prices and rich variety of colors and veneer. Disadvantages: not allowing relief processing (milling) and not much quality material, ie at lower processing furniture made from PDCH have very short life.

IMPORTANT: the choice of furniture PDCH note the manufacturer of panels: the quality are EGGER, WODEGO, Kaindl and Buchina; while the Kronoshpan and Krono group at a lower level. If you ask what edge to select 2 mm or .45 mm better select 2 millimeters, but in any case look nice edges of furniture if there is a slightly jagged edges of Lamia or not smooth edge that osnachava that the manufacturer works with poor machinery and it is better to choose another.

MDF: What: finely ground strongly pressed wood particles. As material allows relief processes and also vlagoustoychiv. The disadvantage is that it is relatively expensive and therefore used mainly for making the front part of the furniture or decorative element. If only the front part of the MDF is worth especially in kitchen equipment, because there it is most used, wet and treated part. Main MDF facades (doors) are 4 types:
MDF-profile see picture above. Represents long strips of MDF and laminated pressed in a form of which is drawn frame. Filling the frame may also from MDF, but may be of PDCH.
Ready doors from MDF-shaped Predstavlyava advance and cut doors, which are full laminirat. Unfortunately, this method of treatment is more widely known abroad and some companies importing these doors, because they are limited in certain sizes.
Veneered MDF-MDF plane covered with wood and then varnished. It looks like wood, but if laka is a good beginning to lyushti and became ugly.
Lacquered MDF-view kitchen. Maybe you’ve seen beautiful laskavi and expensive kitchens. This is varnished MDF, rather skapichko as material for special coatings that are used. Since the laka zapechatva MDF’a has a higher moisture resistance and although it seems as easy ranima surface is not so. It is easy to maintain, but a little more caution must be exercised not to strong shocks or not trimmed with rough and hard surfaces.

So for me now. I hope I was helpful.
