1.Lacquer door base Material (density & environmental protection)

Generally speaking, the base materials of most lacquer paint door is density boards, but the density boards are classified into low, medium, and high densities, and the cost is different. In order to control the cost, many unqualified factories use medium and low-density boards instead, means the density is not up to 730g/cm3.  The lacquer paint door boards made in this way will have many problems, such as the surface planeness is not good. You will find pits when you look at the surface carefully. You cannot see the mirror effect either. The paint adhesion is not good as well. It makes the surface of the paint not full.  Now many factories are paying attention to quality, using high-density boards to make lacquer paint door panels.

Many friends may ask that since the surface will be sealed off by lacquer paint, why need to use E1 grade material? This conclusion is not reasonable. Formaldehyde in building materials can keep releasing for more than 10 years. Therefore, the environmental protection level of basic material has an important influence on the one of the whole door panel. Of course, the selection of paint is also very important. Unqualified and even bad paint will volatilize VOC, toluene, or other chemicals which are harmful to the human body. Everyone must pay attention to that.

No matter of glossy or matte paint, the dust spots will destroy the beauty of surface, and it may also cause small oil pits on the paint surface due to the dust pollution.

That the polish of lacquer paint door panels is also important in the producing process. If the polishing is not enough, it may cause uneven layers look like orange peel, or surface particles.

More, many people, especially the end users who know little about custom door panels, will ignore the dimension reduction of door panel when ordering the doors. Dimesion reduction means the exact door panels size should be 3 or 4mm less than the cabinet size. For example, for a cabinet which is 600 wide, its door panel should be 597mm wide. If the reduction is ignored, after installing the door panels, the door will hit each other when it closed, or the space between the door panel and cabinet carcass is too narrow. People familiar with lacquer paint kitchen furniture seem not to make such mistakes easily. But for the end users who don't have much experience, dimension reduction of door panels should be double-checked, so consulting with your custom furniture supplier is very useful.
