High scores ask about the quality and cracking of elm antique furniture

Elm is the most commonly used wood for furniture in northern China, and its advantages are that elm has medium strength, decay resistance and easy processing. The disadvantage is that elm wood is not easy to dry and is easy to crack, so be careful when purchasing. When choosing, we must pay attention to the fact that once the furniture made of wet elm wood is not dried, after a period of use, the wood that has not been completely dried will be deformed and glued, and the heavy will be cracked and cannot be used, so it can only be burned as wood.

The maintenance of ancient furniture mainly needs to pay attention to the following aspects:

1.Elm furniture should not be wiped with water, and floor wax can be used to wipe it; Waxing should be done after the dust has been completely removed, otherwise wax spots will form, or it will cause wear and scratches. The choice of wax is also very important, general spray wax, water wax, and bright wax can be, but do not use car wax.

Once a week is sufficient;

2.When carrying ancient furniture, it must be lifted off the ground, lifted gently, and must not be dragged on the ground to avoid harm caused by rabbits, such as paint stripping, scratches, wear, etc. When furniture is scratched, bumped or worn, it needs to be repaired by an expert and a doctor.

3.Due to the material, excessive sunlight or humidity of wooden furniture will damage its material. Cause the wood to crack or be brittle and easy to break. But as long as you take care of it, you can still do it without any damage.

"Antique solid wood furniture is easy to crack, which is a natural phenomenon and cannot be avoided. "I don't agree with this, cracking still shows some problems, I have a friend who bought a set of hardwood armchairs made of elm, and there are no problems for five years, and it is produced by a small workshop. If it cracks, there will be no other way than putty and repair.

My friend is in Langfang.

Solid wood products are inherently prone to cracking. Generally speaking, manufacturers have done a lot of processing before making finished furniture. Even if there is paint or cracks after buying it back, it can be repaired, and the merchants who sell solid wood furniture have workers who specialize in repairing the paint.

No, the cracking problem that the landlord talked about must be the furniture made of wood from the northeast or the south, and the reason for the great contrast in climate.

The cracking of solid wood furniture is mainly due to the change of processing technology, and basically no manufacturer can guarantee that the solid wood retro products produced by it can not be deformed and cracked. Because if you want to achieve the effect of no deformation and cracking, the production cycle from log to finished product will be extended from half a year to more than 5 years (the ancient palace furniture is such a processing technology).

There are two main reasons for this.

1. Because the moisture content of the wood does not conform to the climatic characteristics of the region, there is no problem with the adaptability of elm as a northern wood to the climate of the north, mainly depending on the drying method and moisture content control in the processing process, and different drying and desizing methods are important factors that directly affect cracking and deformation products. It is necessary to ask before making a purchase about this.

2. The internal stress of wood is damaged, the natural texture of wood is the charm of solid wood furniture, but it is these textures that cause wood deformation and cracking, before the processing of solid wood furniture, the degree of damage to the internal stress of these textures is the quality assurance of future products. For some products with a high degree of stress failure, the probability of deformation and cracking in the later stage will be very small, while the basic one without stress failure is 100 deformation.

The deformation and cracking of wood is a continuous release process, mainly based on the accumulation of the above two factors, the greater the internal energy, the longer the release cycle, the greater and more obvious the damage caused by the release, if an official hat chair, 1 year on deformation and cracking, then more than 10 years and 8 years will become a wood guy. As for repair, as mentioned above, it is a continuous release process, unless the internal energy has been completely released, otherwise even after repair, the filling is easy to fall off. It is basically difficult to sustain for a long time.

In the case of cracking, it can be repaired, and if it is deformed, it is basically impossible to repair.

Is that detailed enough? That's pretty much it, say you'll have enough to buy something.
