Objectives

Identify the different types of panel products

Understand the composition of the various panel products

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using panel productsSlide3

Introduction

Panel products are important building materials in today’s construction of cabinetry and furniture

Frequently used panel products are:

Plywood, fiberboard, particleboard and melamine

These products have advantages such as:

Being able to create large surfaces quickly

Being more stable than solid lumber because of not having a continuous grain patternSlide4

Plywood

Cabinet grade plywood may replace lumber in cabinets or furniture

Provides the look of solid wood

Less time consuming to work and therefore less expensive to use

Fabricated with fine veneer faces over a coreSlide5

Plywood

Cores used to create cabinet grade plywood

Lumber core

Veneer core

Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) core

Particleboard coreType of core used determines degree of stability and the ability to hold fastenersSlide7

Plywood

(

continued

)

Veneer that is placed on the front and back of the plywood is cut in one of three ways

Plain sliced

Quarter sliced

Rotary cut

Possible to buy cabinet plywood that has already been finishedSlide8

Fiberboard

Created by mixing wood fibers with resin and bonding them together by radio-frequency adhesion or heat

Has no grain at all, which makes it very stable

Comes in high, medium, and low densitiesSlide9

High-density fiberboard, or hardboard.Slide10

Fiberboard

(

)

High-density fiberboard (hardboard)

Good choice for drawer bottoms and cabinet backs

Extremely rugged

Medium-density fiberboard (MDF)

Provides a very smooth and stable surfaceExcellent choice for jig materialGreat base material for stained, printed, painted, or laminated applicationsSlide11

Fiberboard

(

)

Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) (

)

Commonly used for furniture tops, drawer fronts, moldings, and shelving

Can be shaped easilyHas some drawbacks:Hard on cutting edges of toolsVery heavyShould not come into contact with waterDoes not hold fasteners wellSlide12

Fiberboard

(

continued

)

Low-density fiberboard

Not used by cabinetmakers

Primary use is in upholstery industrySlide13

Particleboard

Not as dense as either hardboard or MDF

Is an adequate and less expensive alternative

Composed of small wood flakes, chips, and shavings bonded together with adhesives

Often used as a substrate for laminates

Frequently used for plastic laminate countertopsSlide14

Particleboard

(

continued

)

Hard on cutting edges of tools

Heavy

Does not hold fasteners wellSlide15

Melamine

Thermally fused, resin-saturated paper finish applied over a particleboard core

Highly stain and mar resistant

Comes in a wide variety of colors and wood grain looks

Often the major component of inexpensive furnitureSlide17

Melamine

(

continued

)

Requires no finishing; resin-saturated paper acts as a finished surface

Since it has a particleboard core, its disadvan-tages are same as those of particleboardSlide18

Advantages and Disadvantages of Panel Products

Advantages

Stability

Reduced production time in building cabinets

Their use makes good ecological senseSlide20

Advantages and Disadvantages of Panel Products

(

continued

)

Disadvantages

Edges of the sheets must be covered

Poor

fastener-holding ability; specialty fasteners have to be used

Have only a thin veneer covering the core; deep scratches will reveal the core and give away the fact that they are not solid lumberSlide21

Summary

Manufactured panel products are widely used in the cabinet- and furniture-building industries

Panel products include cabinet grade plywood, fiberboard, particleboard, and melamine

Panel products are far more stable than solid wood

Primary drawback to panel products is that the core is visible on the ends; edges must be covered
