Master these essentials, and you won't be fooled when choosing a board.

　　As one of the main materials in decoration, choosing the wrong board can pose a great threat and impact on our health and life, so it must be taken seriously. However, faced with the dazzling array of boards and related promotions on the market, many exaggerate or mislead, and homeowners lacking knowledge about boards are bound to fall into various "pits". To avoid falling into these pits, it is essential to remember these key points~ What are they?

　　1. Zero formaldehyde board = truly formaldehyde-free and environmentally friendly?

　　Some unscrupulous merchants on the market use the gimmick of "zero formaldehyde board" to attract consumers' attention, leading novice consumers to fall into the trap, only to regret it later. Currently, achieving zero formaldehyde boards in China's board industry is very difficult. First, the raw materials for the boards, the wood itself, contains trace amounts of formaldehyde. Secondly, zero formaldehyde requires very high standards for production processes, raw wood boards, production equipment, and glue additives. Even top manufacturers can only control the formaldehyde content of boards to within E0 level. Therefore, zero formaldehyde boards are not credible; they only claim to have extremely low concentrations close to zero, posing no threat to health. I hope everyone can have a clear understanding.

　　2. Board environmental protection = furniture environmental protection?

　　Many people believe that "indoor home decoration formaldehyde mainly comes from boards," which is actually incorrect. The entire decoration process involves many materials, and boards are just one part of it. There are other materials, such as tiles, glue, paint, flooring, etc. If these products also contain formaldehyde or do not meet environmental standards, they will also affect the indoor environment and health, so they should also be taken seriously. It is recommended that when choosing decoration materials, everyone should opt for green and healthy options, not just focus on boards.

　　3. Single product environmental protection = overall home decoration environmental protection?

　　Many people believe that if the boards chosen for decoration are environmentally friendly, then the overall indoor environment will be fine. This is not the case; it is important to understand that decoration materials are not limited to boards, and other materials are also included. The cumulative effect of all materials can lead to an increase in formaldehyde emissions, resulting in exceeding formaldehyde limits. It is not enough to think that if the boards are environmentally friendly or the paint chosen is green and meets standards, the overall decoration is environmentally friendly.

　　4. Board spray code = environmentally friendly board?

　　When purchasing boards, we can intuitively see the environmental protection level of the board from the front, side, and other angles. However, the spray code is not the only basis for judging whether a board is environmentally friendly. The more authoritative and accurate explanation is actually the relevant testing report. It is recommended that when purchasing, check the testing report provided by the merchant; only boards that meet national standards can be trusted. Additionally, the national standards include E1, E0, and ENF levels; choosing any one of these three is acceptable and can be used with confidence. ENF level is not the only choice; it only indicates low formaldehyde emissions, but naturally, it is also more expensive compared to other levels.

　　In summary, the above four key points have been detailed for everyone. I hope this information can guide you in material selection to avoid being overlooked and to prevent falling into traps.
