What is the wood health care process? You must know if you want to buy furniture!

Furniture not only needs maintenance during use, but in the process of production and processing, wood also needs to be raised. Wood health is the core technology for the production of solid wood furniture. If the temperature and humidity are not well controlled, there will be different or uneven conditions in the wood table. As we all know, good material selection directly determines the quality of solid wood furniture and the future life.

Wood raw materials are often referred to as “wool”, and the woods that are well-maintained in the warehouse will directly affect the quality of the furniture. The whole process of wood accumulation is not just for storage, but to make the wood adapt to the local dry humidity and dry naturally. This has a special term - "health". After six months of experience, the wood can be “cooked”.

From the big tree to the “wool material”, it is necessary to go through reasonable cutting and long-distance transportation. From the wool entering the factory to entering the production line, it is necessary to complete the “health beauty body” for six months, and from the wood strip to the wood board to the furniture, it has to go through more than ten procedures...

Natural wood has a moisture content of more than 50%. Since wood is a porous hygroscopic material, the moisture content will not only affect the cracking and deformation during the use of the furniture, but also have a great influence on the painting operation. The moisture content of the wood is high and a large amount will be generated during the coating process. Bubbles, controlling their moisture content are essential steps in the production of solid wood furniture. Wood needs to adapt to the average relative temperature of most households, but it is still affected by the temperature and humidity in the air. Like human skin, wood is also porous, and it will expand and contract. If handled well, these slight natural changes will not affect the quality of the furniture.

Many times, solid wood furniture has quality problems such as cracking and deformation, which is attributed to many people as the result of the tricks of the makers. But in fact, some manufacturing companies also want to control the quality, but the means are not professional and lack of patience, which is the key factor leading to the instability of some solid wood furniture. For example, if the initial “health” process of wood was not done, it would be difficult to guarantee the final quality of the furniture.

Solid wood furniture is "spelled out"

Wood strips of equal width and length, which are formed by parallel collage together, are called "striped" boards; wood strips of different widths and lengths are regularly tiled together and named "toothed joints". "board. Solid wood furniture is actually made of the above-mentioned wooden boards that are glued or toothed. And many consumers see this part of the furniture, they think that this is not solid wood furniture, this understanding is wrong. In fact, the main materials used for making countertops, door frames, cores and other face materials are in the form of a strip, and other laminates, backings, etc. are toothed. These two ways can reduce the woodiness of the wood and prevent it. Cracking and deformation of furniture.

Original wood "ten steps" turned into solid wood furniture

1, logs to the library

2. Wool health: After the wood is cut down, it needs to be air-dried in the felling ground, and then the material is opened. After the material is opened, the air is dried naturally, so that the wood from all over the world can fully adapt to the temperature and humidity of the processing place. The wool curing process before the series of panels, that is, the drying of the wood in the natural environment, in order to make the moisture content of the wood reach the ideal state, and then there will be no obvious expansion and contraction deformation during the post processing.

3. Cutting material: The cutting of the logs that have completed the initial “health” is carried out in an orderly manner. The purpose of cutting and decomposing is to change the strength of the wood and make the furniture produced more stable.

4, jigsaw health: strip or tooth joint, the cut into different sizes of logs into a whole board. After the wood paneling, the wood is subjected to a second conditioning for 48-60 hours, the temperature is controlled between 28 °C and 35 °C, and the humidity is controlled at about 5%.

5. Sanding: Finely polish and polish the surface of the whole board.

6, punching, milling, white enamel inspection: the entire plate after the remodeling and eye-catching, but also undergo a strict white (peel) test.

7. Grinding and repairing: The last grinding and repair before assembly ensures that the surface is fine enough.

8, painting health: lacquering all kinds of modeling plates, directly affecting the future environmental performance of furniture.

Primer Health: Applying paint on the surface of wood. This process is especially important. The key is to control the temperature and humidity of the health room, because the wood needs to fully absorb the paint on the surface into the hole of the wood tube.

Topcoat Health: The last health-care process, also painted on the surface of the wood, the temperature and humidity of the health room must be strictly controlled for 24 hours.

9. Assembly: The furniture components are ready to be assembled, and the final level is assembled according to the design drawings.

10, molding: After nearly a month of "journey", the logs finally become solid wood furniture, they are classified into the warehouse, waiting to be sent to the new owner's home.

Wood health takes a long time, many processes, and the speed is not up! In strict accordance with the scientific law of wood drying, four times of wood health to return the wood to the original, strict control of temperature, humidity and time to ensure the quality of each piece of furniture.
