In our daily life, furniture is indispensable in our life. With the progress of the times and the development of society, the types of furniture on the market are gradually increasing, and the most popular ones are solid wood furniture. But there are many kinds of solid wood furniture. Which kind of solid wood furniture should we choose? Which one is more suitable for the needs of your family? I believe many friends don't know much about it. Next, Xiaobian will introduce several categories of solid wood furniture for you. Let's take a look.

How many kinds of solid wood furniture are there? Types of solid wood furniture:

beech

The wood grain is very beautiful, the wood is hard, the density is extremely high, and there are few defects, and there are basically no such bumps. Even beech furniture manufacturers generally do not paint, but treat the surface with transparent tree oil after polishing to maintain its original wood color and wood grain.

pine

It has a good smell of pine, but the texture is very soft, which is cheaper in solid wood furniture. High-quality Finnish pine is beautiful in texture, simple, elegant and pure, which is very suitable for children's furniture. Cherry wood, especially Burmese cherry wood, has uniform color, straight texture and fine and uniform structure. It's relatively classy furniture, but it has a big disadvantage that the wood color is too dark and reddish, so it has to be made into Chinese furniture, which is not so popular. But this kind of furniture is very valuable and excellent in workmanship.

Cinnamomum camphora

It has a strong fragrance, because it contains camphor and other performance oils. The back boards of some wardrobes in China are made of camphor wood, which has a good anti-mosquito effect, but some people can't stand the smell.

white oak

This kind of wood is mostly used in European furniture. Oak is produced in many places, such as Malaysia, Indonesia and South Korea. Malaysia's is a little worse, and South Korea's is the best. Good wood is always produced in cold places. Tropical wood grows fast, but the material is not so good.

fir wood

Its material is light-blown, easy to dry, small in shrinkage, not warped, good in durability, easy to process, thick in section, medium in strength, easy to split, and good in bonding performance. According to analysts, it is the most widely used middle-grade wood for furniture and decoration in southern provinces.

manchurian ash

Its tree is slightly hard, with straight texture, coarse structure, beautiful patterns, good corrosion resistance, water resistance, easy processing but not easy to dry, high toughness, good bonding, painting and coloring properties, and good decorative properties. At present, wood is widely used in furniture and interior decoration. Juglans mandshurica: Its wood has luster, straight or oblique texture, slightly coarse structure, slow drying speed, but not easy to warp, good toughness, easy processing and strong nailing force.

How to maintain solid wood furniture

Maintenance of solid wood furniture-dust removal and cleaning

Dust should be removed frequently, because dust rubs the surface of solid wood furniture every day. It is best to use clean soft cotton cloth, such as old white T-shirts or baby cotton cloth. Remember not to wipe your furniture with sponge or tableware cleaning utensils. Please use cotton cloth that has been soaked and wrung out when removing dust, because wet cotton cloth can reduce friction, avoid scratching furniture, and at the same time help reduce the adsorption of dust by static electricity, which is beneficial to removing dust on furniture surface. However, moisture should be avoided from remaining on the furniture surface, and it is suggested that it should be wiped again with dry cotton cloth. In order to remove the traces on the surface of furniture caused by pollutants in the air, cooking fumes, stains during operation and residues during polishing, we suggest using special furniture cleaner. This solvent can also help remove excess wax.

Maintenance of Solid Wood Furniture-Waxing

Waxing regularly, every three months, put a layer of wax on the furniture. Before using wax polish for furniture, check whether the surface of paint layer is intact. For newer solid wood furniture, clean the surface dust with fine cotton cloth first, and wipe the stains that have remained for too long or are difficult to remove with cotton cloth dipped in a small amount of gasoline or alcohol. Then use a small piece of cotton cloth with a proper amount of wax polish to spread it on a large area, and then use a larger piece of dry cloth to wipe the wax evenly in circumferential blocks. Before waxing, the old wax should be wiped off with mild non-alkaline soapy water, and the waxing should not be too dense, otherwise it will block the capillary holes of the wood. Excessive waxing will also damage the appearance of the coating. American solid wood furniture is simple, natural, dignified and elegant, but it may be deformed or cracked due to the change of wood moisture content, so it needs special care, especially in this hot summer.

Maintenance of Solid Wood Furniture-Temperature and Humidity Control

The heat resistance of solid wood furniture is generally poor, so try to stay away from heat sources when using it. Under normal circumstances, try to avoid direct sunlight, because strong ultraviolet rays will cause the paint of solid wood furniture to fade; In addition, heating and lamps that can emit strong heat will also deform solid wood furniture and should be kept away as far as possible; Furthermore, don't put hot cups, teapots and other things directly on solid wood furniture, otherwise it will burn the solid wood furniture. The indoor humidity of solid wood furniture must be slightly higher than its own water content, so consumers should know the water content parameters of solid wood furniture when buying furniture, and refer to the humidity of the use environment marked in the manual.

Maintenance of Solid Wood Furniture-Daily Care

Avoid letting the sun shine on the surface of furniture for a long time, or it will easily make the internal moisture of wood lose balance and cause cracks; In the dry environment in autumn and winter, it is necessary to regularly adopt artificial humidification measures to supplement the excessive loss of water, such as often wiping furniture with soft cloth after wetting water; Keep a good humidity, the ideal humidity is about 40%. If you use cold air for a long time, you can put a basin of water next to it. The temperature difference should not be too large, so as to prevent the air conditioner from turning on and off, causing drastic temperature changes; Overheated items should not be placed directly on the furniture surface, which will destroy the protective paint and wax on the furniture surface. Tenon and mortise structure is very important for solid wood furniture. Once it comes loose and falls off, solid wood furniture can't be used any more. Therefore, we should pay attention to check whether there are parts falling off, degumming, tenon fracture and mortise loosening at these joints.

The above is the relevant content about the types of solid wood furniture, and the introduction of Xiaobian has come to an end here. Solid wood furniture is an indispensable furniture in our daily life. When we choose different solid wood furniture, we should understand its advantages and characteristics, and then choose the materials we need according to our actual needs, so that we will feel very comfortable in the use process. I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the types of solid wood furniture. Finally, I hope this introduction of Xiaobian can help everyone.
