What are the types of furniture materials?

Furniture Materials:

Materials are the material basis of furniture, and in the history of the development of furniture, the materials used for furniture can reflect the level of development of productive forces at that time. In addition to commonly used wood, metal, and plastic, there are also rattan, bamboo, glass, rubber, fabric, decorative board, leather, sponge, etc.

Not all materials can be used in furniture production, and the application of furniture materials also has a certain selectivity, which should mainly take into account the following factors.

1) Processing process.

The processing process of materials has a direct impact on the production of furniture. For wood materials, in the process of processing, it is necessary to take into account the shrinkage, anisotropic fission and porosity caused by the influence of moisture. Plastic materials to take into account.

its ductility, thermoplastic deformation, etc. Glass materials should take into account their thermal brittleness, hardness, etc.

2) Texture and appearance quality.

The texture and texture of the material determine the special feeling of the appearance quality of the product. Wood is a natural material, the texture is natural, beautiful, the image is realistic, the feel is good, and it is easy to process and color, and it is the best material for the production of furniture. Plastics and their synthetic materials have the characteristics of simulating the texture of various natural materials, and have good coloring properties, but they are easy to age, easy to be deformed by heat, and the service life and scope of use are limited in the production of furniture.

3) Economy.

The economy of furniture materials includes the price of materials, the processing and labor consumption of materials, the utilization rate of materials and the abundance of material sources. Although wood has the advantages of natural grain and other advantages, but with the increase in demand, the amount of wood stock is decreasing, and resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and the material similar to the wood material, economic and beautiful materials will be widely used in the production of furniture.

4) Strength. In terms of strength, it is necessary to consider its grip strength, split resistance and elastic modulus.

5) Surface decoration performance.

In general, surface decoration performance refers to the feasibility of decoration, gluing, carving, coloring, ironing, branding and other decorations.

Wooden furniture and steel-wood combination furniture, wooden furniture is divided into two types: solid wood furniture and panel furniture.
