New items in the finishing materials appear almost every day. Honestly, you can not even imagine what else you can think of in this direction, but it does not stop designers. We present our new product - the light-transmitting panel wood composite. HouseShief.ru for you to investigate the origin of this material and its field of application.
What is a wood composite and its species
Essentially wood composites - are materials, construction and decoration, which consist in part of wood and part of the other components. Depending on what type and quality of wood and the characteristics of the binder components, composites have a different type and purpose.
Consider the main ones.
- Particleboard - it chips molded with non-mineral binders. This composite is in the course of more 40-ies of the last century and used for furniture, walls and floors.
- Fibreboard - material from wood dust, pressed into thin slabs. It is often used for sound insulation in the furniture industry and for the cladding frame structures.
- MDF - the plate of the fine chips and lignin adhesive. The result is an extremely strong material that is resistant to changes in temperature and humidity. MDF make suspended ceilings, furniture, doors.
Chipboard, hardboard and MDF - the most popular material for the manufacture of furniture - OSB - building material of wood chips and water resistant adhesive resin. Chips is located in a different direction, which makes the plate very durable and flexible. Products made of this material not fear of moisture and is very durable. OSB is used not only for the skin inside the buildings, but also outside.
OSB gain for soft roof - KDP - wood-polymer material that looks like plastic, but it has all the advantages of wood. It is used in shipbuilding, in external and internal finishing.
The rear panel: structure and properties of the material
Wood has always been a favorite material of architects and designers. The idea to give it new properties has inspired many people to bold experiments. One of them - an attempt to combine wood with glass fiber. What happened? The result was a kind of "sandwich" made of thin strips of wood and transparent glass.
What can we say about the properties of these panels:
- they are sealed - you can use them for decoration with a special climate;
- panels translucency may be different, depending on the type of wood and thickness of the layers of "pie";
- translucent products made from this material do not fade and do not fade;
- light penetration portions may be chaotic or may form a pattern on the idea of the designer;
- drawing the panels can be painted in any color with a special illumination.
Where applicable panel wood composite light-transmitting
This original material finds application in interior decoration and creation of internal partitions.
If you, for example, dark corridor with no windows, use the partition of this material will be a useful output.
AT interiors in a modern style, you can play pictures and lighting. Such translucent partitions are organically fit into the space studio apartments. They can be zoned the kitchen or bedroom in a corner without windows, while there will be fairly light.
This material is as yet not fully disclose their potential, and its scope is constantly expanding. In any case, the light transmission of the composite timber has a great future. But it is hard to even talk about the cost of this material, because you are selling it unlikely find. Now these products are made to order, for design projects.
