If you prefer to make your own furniture, you will need quality materials to work with. LDSP is very widespread in recent years, with its help cabinet furniture is made. This material is preferred not only by small production cooperatives, but even by large factories with a worldwide reputation. When choosing chipboard in a store, it should be borne in mind that different types of boards differ from each other in quality, density, thickness, etc..
What laminated chipboard are used in the manufacture of facades for the kitchen
Since the production of such furniture requires special quality and strength, the following points must be taken into account.
You should look for material of the first grade.
The thickness of the chipboard should be in the range from 10 mm to 26 mm. If you want your furniture to be as practical and durable as possible, choose a thicker material..
Another important requirement is the formaldehyde emission class. For cabinet kitchen furniture, it must comply with E1, which has long become a world standard. E1 class indicates that this furniture has been tested for environmental friendliness.
Modern laminated chipboards have a higher density and are also more resistant to moisture. If you make furniture from them specifically for the kitchen, where the humidity is always high, purchase only new generation chipboard.
How to avoid damage to materials
And yet, whatever the quality of the laminated boards that you decide to buy, when making the furniture itself, you should definitely make sure that there are no uncovered edges. It is advisable to handle furniture with care, since any chips in the edges of the edging necessarily begin to absorb moisture, from which the furniture begins to swell. It is best to cover the edges of the chipboard and in those areas that face the wall or rest against the floor.
Experts recommend buying chipboard, even if you want to make furniture for a children’s room or bedroom. It has beautiful decor and will serve you for many years. It is only desirable to process it on professional equipment. By the way, when buying, order PVC edging 0.2 mm, not melamine — this advice is given by many experienced craftsmen.
