Distinguishing advantages and disadvantages of natural wood and industrial wood

Natural Wood And Wood Industry - Interior, wooden exterior are the items that always get the attention of every customer to decide the decoration of their home. However, the choice between natural wood and industrial wood is extremely difficult, choose how to optimize as possible, have to wonder about features, advantages, disadvantages and especially the price . Here we will show you the advantages and disadvantages of industrial wood and natural wood.
NATURAL WOOD
Most natural woods have a property that can be considered as a disadvantage such as elasticity, warping, depending on the type of wood will have different elasticity, warping, so to be able to use the effect Natural wood material we must understand the properties of each type of wood.
- Timber has three main characteristics: toughness, expansion, linking firmly
In tree fibers, tom wood always combines water with fiber. Wood treatment consists of two main steps: the drying of the steam in the charcoal and drying, in which the drying step is the most important and necessary, it makes the fiber stable, Link together make up the bracelet. When drying the biological properties of wood change, the wood will become tough, strong, can withstand the impact, shaping in shaping.
Wood material is always associated with architecture and interior from the beginning. The most noticeable advantage of wood is the aesthetics that is beautiful. A natural wood product is made of wood fibers. The wood formed by the middle of the pile and the wood itself will directly affect the most important factor is the stability of the wood.
However, the variant, but the wood brings new features, showing the strengths and weaknesses of the material. Sometimes it has the advantage of tropical humid climate, has the natural surface advantage, is able to apply perfectly in the use functions. And especially, natural wood has aesthetical value, in accordance with the culture and perception of Vietnamese people. But not all good for good use. Depending on the characteristics of the wood, one can choose to use the appropriate context.
In Vietnam, the weather is hot and humid, dry so the flexibility of wood usually occurs. It can be cracked, wormed, warped or decayed over time. Therefore, the protection and preservation of wood products is not simple work. Poor machining will counteract the effect of wood. When wood is exposed to weaknesses such as sensitivity to weather, deformation, warping, shrinkage or cracking ... the way to overcome is to work well, select the space used in accordance with the nature of wood.
Realistically, wood does not picky the color of space. Wood can be combined with all materials from rough, thorny, to smooth ball. Especially, when applied in conditions that require flexibility, wood is available to exist in spaces of various geometric styles and styles, both modern and traditional.
Because the wood material is relatively easy to use in the home should take into account the dose. There are many cases of excessive use of wood for flooring, wall tiles, cladding of the ceiling leading to the color of the puzzle or the use of wood indiscriminately causing uncomfortable.
It is necessary to consider the ratio between brick, iron, marble, or rug, to correspond to the area of ​​wood in an architectural space. In order to preserve the timber well, it is necessary to avoid extreme weather conditions. It is not possible to permanently flood the wood, removing the outer shell of untreated wood to avoid termites.
** It is necessary to determine the purpose of the decision. Each type of wood has different advantages and disadvantages, and if used properly will help increase life expectancy. For wood that is water resistant, priority should be given to use in water. In contrast, the hardwoods should be used where the impact, such as the stairs are often made of ironwood, wood flooring is often used wood car plugs ...
Usually, softwood can be used as household goods. But hardwood has to be used for stairs, floors, and places where force is often used. Wood wanted to be rational, not just adaptable to the accompanying materials, main colors, or correlative proportions, but to be respected in the architectural style of the house itself.
In combination with many other materials, one must be aware of the stability and deformation of the wood, since in addition to the color requirements, the wood has to be physically and chemically conformable to the structure. , the force of it, to choose, execute in a reasonable way, effective in use.
WOOD INDUSTRY
With the increasingly exhausted natural wood, and in order to meet the demand for wood for interior design, furniture for home use, artificial wood was introduced, with many kinds of colors. Diversified, suitable for a variety of uses in the interior, especially artificial wood flooring has superior mechanical properties are not warped, shrinkage, so nowadays industrial wood is often applied in modern interior design.
Common types of industrial wood:
- Fibreboard
- Fitting boards
- Particle board
- Plywood
.......
+ MFC particleboard is an artificial wood made from wood material (plantation of eucalyptus, acacia, rubber ...), high mechanical strength, wide surface area, rich in species. The board is covered with various decorative materials: melamine, veneer (wood vermicelli) ... MFC is mainly used for interior decoration, home furniture production. The chipboard is produced by laminated wood chips, similar to MDF but the wood is ground into chips, so they are less quality than fiber boards.
The surface and side boarding technology satisfies a wide range of shape and size requirements, including two types of slabs and MFC. Solid board is commonly used in the market, when used is usually covered with veneer, paint, or PU coating. With MFC products, the two sides are covered with a layer of melamine to create beauty, moisture resistance and scratches.
The world's top chip makers are Malaysia, New Zealand, Thailand and Australia.
+ MDF board (also known as pressed wood) is a type of artificial wood with high mechanical strength, large size, suitable for furniture production technology in tropical climates. Fiber boards are widely used in many fields of furniture manufacturing, interior decoration, construction. MDF is subjected to the process of pressing blended wood fiber mixed with glue, density from 520 to 850 kg / m3, depending on quality requirements, wood materials, thickness. There are three main types of market: slippery, water resistant and melamine.
Smooth mdf is the most common type, when used it is usually coated with veneer, painted or covered with PU. Water-resistant MDFs are also slippery, with a water-resistant glue that is water-resistant during production, often used in places where water is exposed or high humidity, such as doors, furniture in the kitchen. Melamine MDF, both sides of MDF are covered with melamine in order to create beauty, moisture resistance and scratches.
Rods (also known as grafted wood) Produced from the main material is planted wood. The wood has been processed drying process, on the line of advanced technology, modern equipment, wood saw, planing, milling, grafting, rubbing and decorative coatings. Patchwork is widely used in the fields of furniture production, interior decoration, flooring production and many other products.
There are four ways of parallel wood, surface, edge, glass. Wood consists of many wooden bars of the same length, may be different width, parallel pairing. Facing wood consists of several short wooden beams, at the two ends are cut in the shape of a comb and then assembled into bars of equal length, then continue to pair the bars, so only see the comb on the comb teeth. The Japanese market is very fond of this bar.
Industrial wood for furniture production in Vietnam is mainly wood imported from countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, ... The artificial wood of our country has many disadvantages have not been overcome. Contain toxic substances, easy to deformation when encountering water, easy to catch fire, or termite, cracking.
NATURAL WOOD FURNITURE
Advantages
Durable over time: Natural wood materials are very durable, some types of rare wood species such as Fokienia, Huong Huong, Dinh Huong, Gụ, Trac ... also increase the value of wood over time.
Beautiful: Natural wood carries the beauty of nature, wooden patterns are characteristic of each type of wood, no two types of wood have the same pattern, so the old people who understand wood can look wood to identify wood, like human fingerprints. Depending on the preferences of each person that select wood type, paint color match. Often people often paint the cockroach, dark yellowish brown depending on the preferences of each person, or can also keep the natural color of wood ...
Durable with water: The outstanding advantage of natural wood is that it has a high degree of contact when exposed to water, of course must be drenched dry, paints do not thoroughly cleavage.
Certainly: As mentioned above, the certainty of natural wood is high, no matter what kind of wood you choose, compared to industrial wood, the wood is more natural.
Aesthetics, motifs: Natural wood has many different sizes to create richness, with natural wood, workers can create the texture, texture is fine, this is often not done. In industrial wood, industrial wood is manufactured in fixed and limited thickness, which can not be combined with wood such as natural wood.
Style: Classic, cozy, luxurious.
Defect:
High cost: Natural wood is increasingly scarce, now most of natural wood is imported, so the price of wood is quite high, the cost of processing natural wood is high because many handicrafts, can not produce The price of natural wood is always higher than that of industrial wood.
Curvature, shrinkage: If the interior construction workers are not skilled, and do not do in the professional furniture production environment, it is easy to make a product not standard and warping phenomenon, Seldom will happen especially with the door, the cabinet ... Most of the faults for furniture with curvature condition is due to the unsuitable size of the layout, incorrect terminology, although initially may not appear, the phenomenon warped but after a while Use will result in the condition of the wing is warped or curved and can not close the cabinet.
INDUSTRIAL WOOD FURNITURE:
Advantages
Costs: Wood processing is often simpler than natural wood, labor costs are low, can be produced immediately without drying, choosing wood as natural wood, cheaper wood billet, Therefore, industrial wood is often much cheaper than natural wood. The price difference depends on the different types of wood
No warping: Industrial wood has the advantage of not warping war, no shrinkage. Can be flat and painted different colors, with modern furniture style, young wood industry is the leading choice today.
Fast construction time: As mentioned above, industrial wood construction time is faster than natural wood, can be produced in bulk because the wood is usually available, in the form of plates, so the workers just cut. , grafting, gluing, cutting without work in sawing, planing and surface roughing.
Style: Modern style, youthful, high functional use.
Defect:
Durability: If the durability comparison between furniture made of industrial wood is not sustainable with natural wood, but today is different from the old furniture can change yearly or a few years according to the model according to The economic conditions of each person, the durability of industrial wood is usually more than 10 years, if produced in prestigious production facilities, professional, skilled workers.
In addition, an important point that greatly affects the durability of industrial wood is the accompanying accessories such as cabinet hinges, drawer rails, if using low quality fittings it is easy to damage or affect the quality. the volume of the hinges, or the sliding of the rails.
The characteristic of industrial wood is to absorb water, so paint the wood surface must be guaranteed, paint from 4 to 7 layers to avoid water penetration into the wood, if the paint is not sure when the water will be uncoated in the adhesive. Wood for industrial wood panels becomes loose and can no longer be used, so when using industrial wood products, the most important thing is the paint must be guaranteed but the paint must be safe to avoid water if not the life of furniture. The interior will be short.
Texture, fiber: Due to the mechanical characteristics of industrial wood and the combination of wood so that we can not produce fine details such as natural wood (lines, patterns, patterns ...).
The life of industrial wood furniture, if done well, will be less than 10 years, as compared to natural wood, but with today's furniture, that is enough time for us to change furniture. Other furniture, with a period of use over 10 years, has also been depreciated. Therefore, the choice here is mainly in style, the demand is the main, people love the classic style, cozy choose natural wood, if you like the modern style, young, can choose wood industry to make furniture.
