The bathroom environment is humid, and the material performance and processing technology used to make bathroom cabinets (basin cabinets) must be suitable for this environment. Due to the limited service life, appropriate cost performance is also a selection factor. Here we mainly introduce the selection of wood base materials.
There are many types of wood, which are divided into three categories according to their suitability for bathrooms:
1. Better categories: rosewood, rosewood, teak, walnut, ash, Oak and other materials are hard and corrosion-resistant wood, among which oak is recognized as the most ideal solid wood material for making bathroom cabinets.
2. Suitable categories: rubber wood, elm, oak, beech, green bar and other hard wood types, among which rubber wood is a cost-effective solid wood material for making bathroom cabinets.
3. Other categories: pine, fir, eucalyptus, fast-growing wood and other light and highly absorbent wood. If used as bathroom cabinets, they can only be treated by paint sealing process, and their service life will be very short.
4. Innovative wooden materials: such as European pine boards, rubber-plastic synthetic wood, etc. It will take time to test their performance and gradually be accepted.
According to the processing technology: 1. Log splicing, 2. Integrated wood (finger-jointed board), 3. Multi-layer plywood, 4. Veneer integrated (veneered) board.
Log splicing is more labor-intensive and is used by high-end users, while laminated materials are cost-effective and are most accepted by everyone.
Generally speaking, oak laminated lumber is recognized as the most ideal material for making high-end bathroom cabinets, and rubber wood laminated lumber is a cost-effective material for making bathroom cabinets. However, no matter what kind of material, only mature and complete processing and manufacturing technology can produce good products. Therefore, it is recommended not to process and manufacture on-site by yourself. Purchasing finished products or customizing on demand is the way to obtain durable and cost-effective products.
Bathroom cabinets, as a new product at the intersection of furniture and bathroom ware, have been developed for just a few years. During the continuous review and progress, some chaos has also appeared. In the end, honest and honest operators will be recognized and accepted by everyone.
