Study Notes
Advantages of Manufactured Boards
- Available in large, flat sheets measuring 2440 x 1220mm, suitable for constructing large pieces of furniture without requiring joints.
- Exhibits good dimensional stability, minimizing warping issues that are common with natural woods.
- Versatile in decoration, allowing for various aesthetic finishes and appearances.
- Plywood and MDF sheets are flexible, making them easy to bend over formers for laminating processes.
- Production waste can be efficiently repurposed to create MDF, chipboard, and hardboard, promoting sustainability.
Disadvantages of Manufactured Boards
- Cutting manufactured boards requires sharp tools, which tend to become blunted quickly due to the material's density.
- Thin sheets may bow when unsupported, leading to potential alignment issues in finished products.
- Joining components is more challenging compared to traditional methods; certain joints, like dovetail joints, cannot be fabricated effectively.
- Cutting and sanding can produce hazardous dust particles, posing health risks to individuals working with these materials.
- Board edges need treatment and covering to prevent water infiltration and to conceal unattractive edges, enhancing the overall appearance to mimic solid timber.
