Wardrobe is one of the indispensable pieces of furniture in the process of home decoration. Some friends think that it is more cost-effective to make the wardrobe by yourself. However, in general, different materials should be chosen for different parts of the wardrobe, which is not something professionals would choose. I think it’s better to have a custom-made wardrobe. Let’s learn about which boards can be used as wardrobes!
First: Moisture-proof board or compression board
Moisture-proof board or compression board is made of compressed wood particles inside, and must have glue added, and the outside is made of hard plastic. The shell is actually very unhealthy, as the glue will release formaldehyde. Although everyone claims to be green and healthy, these obviously compressed things are definitely not as good as solid wood.
Second: Woodworking boards
Woodboards can be connected with mortises and tenons, nails, and screws. The construction is the most convenient, but the surface treatment is the most troublesome of these types. Moisture-proof board is particleboard, which is often already veneered on the market. It does not require paint and is low-cost. It is now often used to make cabinets.
Third: Density Board
As for density boards, there are several types, with many thicknesses. If you are making a wardrobe, they are usually 1, 2 or 1.5. Boards are generally called composite boards, which are single-sided and double-sided, and have patterns. When made of composite boards, some nail holes will be visible, which is not beautiful. Density board is the most convenient for oil workers, and the construction is between the two cities.
Fourth: Large core board
There are also large core boards that need to be laminated with panels. The panels will definitely be painted, and the hardness and quality will definitely be much better.
Personally, I think it is better to use large core boards for customized wardrobes. The strength of finger-jointed boards of the same level is not as high as that of large core boards. What’s more, the span of the wardrobe is relatively large and the required strength is relatively high; If finger-jointed boards are used, the panels will need to be sealed if the strength is higher, and the cost will increase accordingly. The above are some personal opinions for reference.
