The Basic Knowledge About Office Storage
When choosing a cabinet, understanding the basics is critical to ensuring that you get the product that best suits your needs. Here’s a look at the materials, durability, desktop size, height, and extensions to help customers make the right choice
Material
The material of the cabinet directly affects its appearance, texture, and service life. Common materials include:
Composite materials: such as MFC(Melamine-Faced Chipboard/Particle board), MDF(medium-density fiberboard), and Plywood, with decorative surfaces, can simulate a variety of material appearance, the cost is relatively low.
Glass: creates a light and transparent feeling, is easy to clean, suitable for modern design style.
MFC(Melamine-Faced Chipboard/Particle board)
It is made of wood chips from fast-growing trees like Eucalyptus, acacia, and rubber… formed into particleboard and bonded to melamine resin-impregnated paper. The melamine layer helps to waterproof, resist scratches, and increase the aesthetics of the surface. MFC has a variety of colors, is lightweight, and easy to construct, but it is not seamless, is limited in thickness, and has low resistance to water. MFC is suitable for home and office furniture in dry areas such as wardrobes, nightstands, desks…
MDF(medium-density fiberboard)
Made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibers, combining it with additives (wax and a resin binder), and forming it into panels by applying high temperature and pressure. MDF has a higher-density board than MFC and has a smooth surface that is ideal for painting, gluing, and screwing. There are 2 processes: wet-process and dry-process to produce different types of MDF. The ultra-light MDF board is often used for indoor furniture such as filing cabinets, wardrobes, and beds... Green MDF is moisture-resistant, and is often used in humid places such as kitchen cabinets, and bathroom cabinets…. Red MDF wood is fire retardant, so it is often used for furniture in offices or apartments.
Plywood
Plywood is a panel-shaped wood-based material made from several thin layers of wood (the plies or wood veneers) that are glued crosswise along the grain. Plywood is produced in different qualities due to different uses and the number of veneer layers. Plywood has better water resistance than MDF, MFC. Plywood is used in many areas as a building material, for example, both indoors and outdoors. Plywood is also used for furniture sets, cabinets, and tables. In general, it can be said that due to its high strength values, plywood is used wherever high stability is required.
