Lumber / | Fiberboard |
Not so long ago in the consumer market there is a new material which combines the properties of wood and wood chipboard. This fibreboard specific density. In the furniture industry, they are already in use. A useful this material can also be a home worker.
This type of fiber boards - the result of efforts to overcome the negative properties of wood that swells and shrinks, bent and warped as a result counteract this we can assume the appearance of plywood, carpentry and chipboard that is, materials that behave more " peace ", than wood. But they also have negative characteristics that need to be taken into account.
In the new fiberboard raw material - wood - not only processed by cutting, but he literally " frayed " to separate the fibers. Thus, after passing through the incised pulp grinding wheels appear fiber thickness of 0.1 mm. They are mixed with the glue, then compressed and hardened at a high temperature. At the end of the surface of polished slabs or in the case of special applications, the surface coating is applied, simulating the texture of wood.
Fibreboard produced a special density of the same thickness as the laminated chipboard, namely from 16 to 29 mm. Uncut plates have a length 262, 366, 410 and 524 cm and a width of 183 to 207 cm.
If you look at the cut chipboard, we can see that the clutch chips in the surface layer of dense enough. In the middle of the structure is very loose. Fibreboard, in contrast, have uniformly dense structure.
* Evenly dense structure across the thickness of the board: even inserted an end nail and a screw is held tightly
If the saw with a thin blade and fine teeth lead a measured slow movements, you get clean cut, which remains the only sand.
* The line cut from wood fiber (left) and chipboard (right)
Therefore, the visible portions of the workpieces on the slices do not require additional time consuming processing. You can forget about the patch, which should be more correctly try to cut or draw cutter.
When covering fiber boards do not have to paint or putty surface or edge. Reduce the suction capacity is only fibrous material suitable primer to the lacquer dries evenly.
Design advantages
The dense structure of fiberboard has certain structural advantages: they firmly hold nails, screws, but not so on chipboard.
Another extremely valuable feature: fibreboard amenable to milling as well as solid wood. For example, the edges of the plates can be profiled. And it will be perfectly smooth and sharp profile.
