Molded door panel purchase guide

Molded door panels, also known as blister door panels, have been misunderstood a lot in recent years.
"The substrate is the density board is not environmentally friendly", "made of kraft paper", "the glue is used more, the pollution is large", "the effect is very low"...

However, in the market, the volume of molded door panels far exceeds our expectations.

Why is that? There are three reasons:
1, molded door panel can be molded
Molded door panels with density board as the base material can do a variety of modeling. From frame to milling to carving to grooving, there are very mature and perfect processes and equipment to achieve. Compared with the complicated process of solid wood, moulded door panels are easier to do and more stable. After all, not everyone likes flat doors.

2, molded door color more rich
For the cost of mass production, there will generally not be too many colors, and a store can always have more than a dozen colors. But a set of moulded door color card is dozens of cards, this set is not phase, come, there are three sets of five sets waiting for you, just choose.

3, molded door panels can better match the decorative style
The molded door plate should have a curve, a carving should be carved, and the color should be bumped. In this world, there is not only simple modern style, but also a variety of artdeco styles with strong decorative elements, which have the value of existence and are respected by many people.

4, the molded door panel has been criticized for several problems, in recent years has also been properly solved
The formaldehyde emission problem related to environmental protection has been set in the 2009 MDF national standard: 0.124mg/m³ (climate box method), which is exactly the same as the formaldehyde emission value of the particle board in an environmental protection national standard, that is to say, MDF will not be worse than the environmental protection of the particle board. The glue used for molded door panels has also gradually popularized the use of water-based glue in these years.

What determines the quality of molded door panels?
Two aspects, one is the membrane, the second is the processing equipment.
Film: If you buy skills, three words: choose thick film.
The membrane skin commonly used on the market ranges from 8 wires (0.08mm) to 45 wires (0.45mm) (of course, there are thicker ones, which are rarely used and will not be discussed). That's a five or six times difference. After seeing a lot of molded door panels, I still recommend that you try to choose thick film skin, the thicker the film skin, the stronger the ability to extend, in the modeling part of the door panel, the non-flat film skin will be stretched, if it is too thin, this part will become very fragile, and even discolor (you try to pull a plastic wrap feeling, the thickness of plastic wrap is about 1 silk).

Processing equipment:
Speaking of the chaos of molded door panels in previous years, it is directly related to the production threshold. The cheapest laminating machine, 6-70,000 yuan can be done, the second-hand is cheaper, and then get a push table saw, go to the chemical market to buy glue, you can open dry, the requirements of the site is not high, there is a backyard to build a shed is enough. With the rise of custom furniture from 2010 to 2015, a large number of inferior production capacity flooded in. The direct sequelae is that many people listen to the molding color change and resolutely do not buy.
In recent years, the custom furniture industry has been reshuffled, competition is fierce, consumers are mature, and poor products are naturally eliminated.

With the support of high-tech production equipment, the production process of moulded door panels has been improved qualitatively. For example, the use of glue is less, and the cold-pressed veneer also makes the film stronger and more stable, but it is followed by higher requirements for the surface smoothness of the substrate, so the factory must specially strengthen the grinding and sanding, and the traditional hand glue is changed to spray glue. A series of improvements have raised the overall level of molded door panels to a new height.

Shopping guide
1, can stop the soul of the shopping guide three questions
What brand of membrane is used? What is the thickness of the film? What kind of adhesive is used for pressing?
After these questions are asked, the shopping guide must be nervous, most of the shopping guide does not have the knowledge reserve to answer these questions. OK, keep going.
2. Understand the reasonable price range and refuse excessive premium
The molded plate is more expensive than the pellet plate, and the price can be calculated by referring to the price of the pellet plate door in the store multiplied by 1.2-1.5.
For example, the price of a shop's granular door panel is 500/ square meter (just the door panel, excluding the cabinet), then the moulded door panel, the price will be 600/ square meter -900/ square meter (according to the complexity of the shape and process) - only for excellent moulded door products, roughly so. Of course, the process level and materials of each store are different, and those products with low prices are not excluded.

In general, small and medium-sized brands, moulded door panel + imported panel cabinet, the price is about 1000, moulded door panel + domestic panel cabinet, the price is about 700-800, basically reasonable. Those who name what LG door panel, Korean cabinet door to sell high prices, all are IQ tax.

Of course, some brands themselves are expensive, positioning is placed there, and there is a strict price system, you do not head iron to bargain with people ah, can not cut down, a "company regulations" will give you blocked porcelain porcelain real.

Attention, attention, attention!

The molded door panel sold on the market, if not specifically stated, the price of the target is the price of single-sided pressure paste, the other side is white veneer paper, if the door panel is made, it is the outer appearance of the film skin, the door opens, the inside is white. If you like the same inside and outside, be sure to make it clear to the business that the double mask will add a little more money.

3. Eyes, hands, and details
Eyes: Look carefully under sufficient light, there is no bump, orange peel, bulge, or even you look uncomfortable uncomfortable, there is directly eliminated out - samples are like this, the real can not be better. There are lines, see whether the pattern printing is clear, dot matrix is not fine enough, do not look close to a pile of mosaics, buy furniture do not engage in pixel wind.

Hand touch: Whether the skin feels comfortable, whether the touch will be cold, whether it will be easy to leave fingerprints. Highlight class should pay attention to whether the hardness is high enough, nail stroke in the past will not leave scratches. Fingers will not deceive, touch the rough buping (except hemp), uneven, stumbling, this elimination out.

Corner: No matter what material, the process requirements for corner details are the highest, and the most vulnerable. If this door panel has a little shape, whether it is framed, buckled line, milling, carving, there will be corners. Whether the fit is tight enough, whether the transition is smooth and natural, and whether the gap is polished and rounded, these are to be carefully looked at.

4. Don't ignore the cabinet:
I don't think anyone uses moulded plates for cabinets unless it's a lot of money. But we bought custom furniture, cabinets to ensure environmental protection and quality. Have to ask clear, cabinet is what plate, what brand, can choose what color.

Conclusion
Many custom brands, until now, but also the molded door panel as a treasure, sell quite expensive. From a business standpoint, I understand them. Most of the customers who choose moulded door panels are rushing to the shape, and there are basically only three choices: log/veneer/moulded. Log or veneer, to use the paint process, the price is very expensive, then settle for the next best, choose molding! So sell a little more expensive, understandable; But at a high price, God forbid.

In the overwhelming "minimalist", "modern" and "Italian" style, the pursuit of a little "less expensive" styling and decoration is definitely not "outdated" and "old-fashioned". And this is the value and significance of the existence of molded door panels.
