The most comprehensive guide to whole-house customization

I. Common Board Types

Board type Composition materials advantage shortcoming
solid wood boards wooden strips or timber Environmentally friendly, uses less glue High cost, prone to deformation
Multi-layer board Wood chips + glue Stable structure and good environmental performance A large amount of adhesive was used.
MDF Wood flour + glue Smooth surface, easy to process High formaldehyde content, poor moisture resistance
Ecological board Wood chips + wood strips + glue It has a soft texture and is environmentally friendly. Poor load-bearing capacity
Particleboard Wood chips + glue High stability and cost-effectiveness High glue content, poor environmental performance
OSB Large wood chips + glue High stability and cost-effectiveness The surface is rough and requires finishing treatment.

II. Environmental Protection Level (from highest to lowest)

  • ENF levelFormaldehyde emission ≤0.025mg/m³, with the highest environmental performance.
  • F4 star ratingAccording to Japanese standards, formaldehyde emission level is ≤0.3mg/L.
  • E0 levelFormaldehyde release ≤0.5mg/L.
  • E1 levelFormaldehyde emission ≤1.5mg/L, which meets the national mandatory standard.
