We spend half the day in bed, so it is very important to choose a bed that we like. Our family had better choose an environmentally friendly and healthy bed. Among many materials, solid wood beds will be very practical and environmentally friendly, and there are many kinds of solid wood. Let's talk about environmentally friendly solid wood beds.
What wood is suitable for making a bed?
1, pine: pine has its own fragrance and is one of the common woods. Due to more and more attention to environmental protection, solid wood furniture began to increase slowly, among which pine furniture accounted for a large part, especially children's furniture, many of which were made of pine. There are two main materials for pine furniture, one is Pinus massoniana and the other is Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Mongolian kapok. Pine has a stronger texture and better wood. Compared with Chinese fir, the wood grain of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Mongolian yurts will be more beautiful and have fewer wooden scars. Among solid wood, pine is more durable, and furniture made of pine can fully show the true, stupid and natural beauty of materials. Pine has a long growth cycle, thin annual rings, flexible wood texture, low oil content and uniform distribution of yin and yang colors.
2. Teak: Teak has golden brown luster and beautiful decorative stripes, so it is known as the king of wood. Because of its natural oiliness, it is waterproof and will not become brittle, deformed, twisted, bent, expanded or cracked. Its hardness is high, it is not easy to wear, and it is not deformed by extremely heavy oil. It has a special fragrance, which can repel snakes, insects, rats and ants and prevent maggots.
3. Birch of mid-range wood is often used for carving or making solid wood: the material structure of birch is delicate, soft and smooth, and the texture is soft or moderate. Birch has elasticity, good processability, smooth section and good painting and gluing properties.
4. The wood grown in different areas is different: Zelkova and elm furniture can be seen everywhere in the northern market, and elm and Zelkova produced in the south are called Zelkova. Elm wood has a wide width and excellent texture. Small deformation rate, tough wood, clear texture, moderate hardness and strength, suitable for carving, smooth plane and beautiful chords. Can be used for furniture, decoration, etc. Elm can be dried, shaped, carved, polished and painted, and can be used to make exquisite lacquer crafts. Beech wood is produced in the south of China, and beech wood has always been a common material for folk furniture. Beech wood is hard and beautiful, and can be used as a material for buildings and utensils. Beech can also be used as decorative board, and red beech decorative board is used by many people. Beech wood is a little thick, but it is strong, impact-resistant and friction-resistant, with the disadvantage of easy deformation. Beech wood grain is beautiful, layered like mountains, which Suzhou carpenters call pagoda grain; The sapwood is reddish brown and the heartwood is ochre red, so it is also called blood chestnut. Many handed down Ming and Qing furniture are made of beech wood, mostly long tables, large cabinets and other large pieces of furniture.
6, mahogany: Now people on the market like to choose mahogany. Mahogany is a precious wood in our influence, and its price is also high. But mahogany is not a kind of wood, but a kind of precious wood, representing high-grade solid wood furniture. It is characterized by serious colors, precise and beautiful lines, strong and heavy wood, and strong and practical. The cutting-edge rosewood is Huang Huali and rosewood, with the best quality, generally red, solid and heavy wood, fine texture and good oiliness. Now mahogany used for furniture is mostly rosewood and rosewood.
Environmental protection and practicality are the most important.
1. Why is wood the most environmentally friendly raw material in the world? First of all, it is recyclable and renewable. Therefore, compared with other materials, such as chemical synthetic materials extracted from petroleum, it is more environmentally friendly. American hardwood can grow naturally and continuously with little damage to the ecological environment.
Second, wood can absorb and store carbon compared with other types of beds. Growing trees need to absorb carbon dioxide, and more than 50% of the dry matter of trees is composed of carbon. Therefore, making wood into wood products such as boards, window frames, furniture and doors will help absorb carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and alleviate the crisis of global warming. European hardwood forests have made great contributions to the environment by absorbing carbon through the continuous regeneration of wood.
Third, the energy consumption of producing and processing wood is very low, and the thermal conductivity of wood is also low: in the process of producing and processing wood, the energy consumed is also less than other materials. The data shows that the energy required to produce one kilogram of dry wood is only half that of the same amount of concrete. Compared with other materials such as steel, plastic and aluminum, the production of wood consumes less energy; Wood is an excellent heat insulation material. 2.5 cm thick wood has more thermal insulation than 1 1.4 cm thick brick wall.
Why is wood environmentally friendly? Let's look at mandatory standards. In fact, as early as 2008, the mandatory standard "General Technical Conditions for Wood Furniture" (hereinafter referred to as "Conditions") clearly stipulated the name of solid wood furniture. According to the proportion and technology of solid wood materials, solid wood furniture can be divided into three categories: the first category: all solid wood furniture: all solid wood furniture refers to furniture in which all wooden parts (except mirror plates and battens) are made of solid wood sawn timber. Note: Jiang Mumu furniture belongs to this category. All solid wood furniture does not use any other forms of wood-based panels or other veneers and wood grain paper veneers. All solid wood furniture requires high technology and materials, and the price is relatively expensive. The second category: solid wood furniture Solid wood furniture refers to furniture whose base material is solid wood sawn timber or solid wood board, and the surface is uncovered. The third category: solid wood veneer furniture: solid wood veneer furniture refers to furniture with solid wood sawn wood or solid wood board as the base material and solid wood veneer or veneer (veneer) stuck on the surface. Solid wood veneer furniture needs solid wood veneer, not wood grain paper, and the substrate part must be solid wood. Compared with solid wood furniture, the base material cost of solid wood veneer furniture is lower, and the veneer does not need complicated painting and polishing processes, so the price is cheaper.
There are many kinds of wooden beds, and which kind of wood is good depends on which one you like. I suggest you go to the physical store to feel all kinds of materials. With people's needs, merchants make beds of various styles to meet customers, which may contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde and heavy metals. We breathe harmful substances when we sleep every day, which is harmful to our health. The standard of wooden furniture controls the use of harmful substances by manufacturers, so it is recommended that you use environmentally friendly wooden beds.
