1 affordable MFC decorative board
Environmental protection is the key.
MFC decorative board, also known as melamine board, is the simplest and most affordable of the four commonly used door panels. When choosing MFC decorative board, it is important to check the base material and edge sealing of the door panel to determine whether it is environmentally friendly.
The MFC door panel of Kohler cabinet adopts high quality particleboard. The internal bonding strength and water absorption thickness expansion rate of the board meet the requirements of GB/T 15 102-94, and the formaldehyde emission reaches the requirements of European E 1 GB 18580-200 1. Standardized processing realizes exquisite edge sealing technology, which is not easy to fall off, has good waterproof performance and can inhibit formaldehyde release.
For imported cabinets with strict quality requirements, such as Belle and Kohler, even the simplest MFC door panels can be mixed with different colors, while most cabinets can only achieve the same color of door panels and edge seals.
Specially remind small brands of low-priced MFC door panels. Most of them use inferior particleboard produced by small domestic manufacturers as the base material, in which a lot of glue is used, and the details such as edge sealing are poor, which will cause a large amount of formaldehyde release from the door panel and is not environmentally friendly.
2 bright painted door panels
Better moisture-proof and wear-resistant performance.
Baked paint board is a popular cabinet door panel. Compared with the other three door panels, it has the advantages of fashionable and bright appearance, easy care and better moisture resistance. Therefore, the key point of choice is to see the moisture-proof effect and whether it is scratch-proof.
The surface is painted evenly without any particles and defects. In the light, a good paint board has no ripples.
The standard chemical plant adopts high-quality paint and advanced spraying processing technology, which meets the national test standards for paint and ensures that the door panel has good moisture resistance, scratch resistance and expansion resistance. After testing, the door panel painted by Kohler can be soaked in warm water for 120 minutes, and the surface does not swell or deform.
Especially remind poor quality painted door panels. After being used in the kitchen for a period of time, the surface is often scratched and the paint falls off. The reason is that the paint and painting process used is poor, and the surface is easy to leave scratches and water vapor immersion.
3 PVC coated board with rich shapes.
The substrate and lamination process are very important.
PVC coated board is what we often call die pressing board, that is, pressing a layer of film on the surface of the substrate with a machine to make the door panel have various colors and shapes. Judging the quality of the die plate depends on the base material and bonding process of the door plate. Only when they all meet the requirements can we ensure that the door panel will not deform, bulge or fade.
The base plate is a high-density plate, the density is more than 780 (generally, the base plate is only 720), which is firm and not easy to deform. Adopt imported machines and molding technology. After 60 minutes of high temperature test, there is no crack, protrusion, discoloration or wrinkle on the surface of the door panel.
The colors and shapes of PVC coated boards are becoming more and more diversified. For example, this kind of wood grain is the popular color of many big brands this year.
Special reminder: the door panel may be deformed or even broken after a long time using the inferior die-pressing board cabinet with low density board. Due to the poor laminating process, the surface will often bulge, tilt and fade.
Noble and elegant solid wood door panel
Look at the material and production process.
Nowadays, all cabinet brands, large and small, have solid wood door panels, but the prices vary greatly. Judging the overall quality depends on the wood material and manufacturing process, because these two aspects directly affect the heat resistance and durability of solid wood door panels.
Domestic solid wood cabinets are slightly worse than imported cabinets in processing technology, so most of them can only use solid wood doors, while cabinet frames are made of other materials with better moisture resistance to adapt to Chinese kitchens.
It adopts cherry wood imported from North America, 100% pure solid wood, the thickness of the door panel is 22MM, and the patented splicing technology is adopted to better prevent cracking. The unique surface treatment technology ensures that the door panel can resist heat, steam and pollution for a long time.
Special reminder for cost reasons, cheap small brand solid wood cabinets generally do not use good wood, and the production technology of small manufacturers is relatively backward. Although there is no difference from the outside, the heat resistance and durability of door panels are relatively poor in actual use.
