The use of solid wood in the manufacture of furniture is an expensive option. The cost of panel blanks for the production of high-quality sets and single pieces of furniture is much lower than the price of natural wood. A furniture board, the dimensions of which can be different, is a sheet material for the production of affordable cabinet furniture. The shield is also used to decorate doors and windows (additions and slopes), wooden stairs (steps, risers, platforms, stringers and bowstrings), tabletops and window sills are made from it. It is made from different wood and is multifunctionally used in various areas of construction and repair.
Panel sheets are in great demand today at large furniture factories, at small private furniture factories and by private craftsmen, to create false walls and other structures, for example, interior partitions in interior design.
Advantages of boards made of wooden lamellas (bars):
- aesthetic appearance of finished structures;
- environmental friendliness of products;
- unpretentiousness in processing (grinding and trimming);
- unlimited possibilities for the implementation of design ideas;
- the natural pattern (texture) on the product is preserved;
- lamellas glued into a single structure have high strength to mechanical damage;
- shields are not threatened by deformation and shrinkage.
In the furniture industry, there is no alternative to wooden panels today - they are irreplaceable.

Technology for the manufacture of furniture board spliced (parquet) and all-lamellar (array)
At the first stage, raw lumber is sent to drying chambers, where their moisture content is adjusted to approximately 8-10%. This indicator is ideal for gluing furniture board lamellas. Dry blanks fall into the bar for cutting, where they are relieved of irregularities, hairiness and any flaws in the edged lumber.

Next, the parts are connected by end and side parts, for which micro-spikes and grooves are cut, on which glue is applied. Gluing blanks for furniture is carried out under pressure in special clamps. Then the spliced lamellas are sent to a thicknessing machine, where they are processed from 2 sides. Finished shields are ground and packed in shrink film.

How much does a pine furniture board weigh?
The weight of a furniture board made of oak, ash and any other species is determined by its size. For example, oak 28 mm thick, 300 mm wide and 2000 mm long weighs about 9 kg.
The weight of one square meter of pine furniture board (used for the manufacture of cabinets, shelves and cabinets, extensions and slopes) is approximately 7 kg. But one square meter 40 thickness 16 kg.
The weight of the products is also affected by the moisture content of the wood. Online store managers will help you choose the right furniture panels in Moscow and Moscow Region "LesoBirzha".

How to choose a furniture board?
To answer this question, you need to have an idea of what furniture panels are. First of all, pay attention to the category. Our company sells furniture panels of category A/A (without knots) and B/B (with knots).
- Class products A/A are of impeccable quality. For their manufacture, the lamellas are sorted by hand. Seams, barely noticeable after gluing, completely disappear after high-quality grinding;
- I/O type- these are lamellas spliced with non-toxic glue. On such shields in a small amount there are "live" knots. There should be no other defects here. The sanding is perfect.
- Grade A/B- this is an intermediate product between classes A and B. Here knots are present only on one side (B), and side A is without knots.
In the catalog you will find various types of furniture panels. The most inexpensive and common are larch and needles. Of these, window sills, extensions, slopes, countertops, beautiful interior partitions, steps and other elements of stairs are most often made.
But such material as oak, beech and ash is not inexpensive. Products from it look expensive, rich, due to its bright texture. He goes to the manufacture of interfloor stairs, countertops, luxury furniture.

We sell furniture panels in a shrink film that protects products from any negative external influences. The material delivered to the house should be kept in its packaged form (just tear the packaging slightly) for a week. This time is necessary for the wood to adapt to the temperature and humidity of the room.
You can not keep wooden panels in rooms where plaster has recently been applied or a cement screed has been poured (current repairs are being carried out). The surface of the walls, floor and ceiling still emits moisture, which is sure to be absorbed into the lamellas. Another storage condition is that the shields should wait for their mission only in a horizontal position.

It is possible to make high-quality shields only with competent gluing of wooden boards, as well as with their optimal grinding, so if you plan to do the work on your own, it is important to carefully study the technology and use high-quality raw materials.
Dimensions
Furniture panels have different sizes, so in the process of choosing this design, you should consider what its dimensions are. According to the thickness, varieties of furniture pine panels are distinguished:
- for the manufacture of a variety of furniture, shields 1.8 cm thick are used;
- for the construction of various partitions or stairs, elements with a thickness of 2.8 cm are considered optimal;
- if a variety of stairs, window sills or even countertops are created, then the thickness of the shields should be at least 4 cm.
In the process of choosing such shields, one should consider whether pine bars or solid pieces of wood were used to create them.
The width and length of such shields can vary significantly from different manufacturers, so before purchasing such material directly, you should make a drawing of the future design, which is created using shields. In accordance with this, the optimal dimensions of consumables are determined.
Use cases
Furniture panels made of pine are popular building materials. They are used for a variety of purposes, with the most commonly used for:
- operational erection of various temporary structures;
- sheathing of frame structures, and usually in this case, shields are used in conjunction with various heat-insulating and decorative materials;

- for a long service life of the resulting structure from furniture panels, you need to know how to cover them for optimal protection from various impact factors;
- so that the resulting items have an attractive appearance and other positive parameters, they can be decorated with a variety of elements and materials.
Thus, pine furniture panels are popular materials for creating a variety of designs. They are effectively used in living quarters, and with proper care and decoration, they can act as a real decorative element in any room.
Care rules
Competent care for structures made of pine furniture panels will provide them with a long service life and always an attractive appearance. To do this, follow simple steps:
- after creating a certain object, it should be covered with high-quality protective impregnations, paint or varnish, and before painting it, various shortcomings should be completely eliminated from all its surfaces;
- daily, all products made from natural wood are cleaned of dust with a dry rag, vacuum cleaner or ordinary brush, but it should not be excessively hard;
- if any difficult-to-remove liquids, for example, tea or fat, get on the products, they are promptly removed with a damp cloth, after which the area is wiped dry;
- it is recommended to wipe all objects twice a year with special polishing agents made on the basis of wax or oil;
- ink, pencil or glue are removed with a standard rubber eraser, after which it is necessary to treat the surface with dry soap, and then it is washed and wiped dry;
- it is not allowed to use various hard brushes, abrasives, solvents or scrapers for structures made of furniture pine board, as such significant impacts easily damage the finish and leave chips, scratches or other defects on the surfaces;
- it is taken into account that it is pine that is wood, which is negatively affected by constant exposure to sunlight, so furniture made from it should be protected from ultraviolet radiation.
Thus, pine furniture boards are in demand materials. They have numerous advantages. They are used for different purposes, so they make high-quality and attractive interior items, doors, coatings or other products. The cost of the material is affordable, so it is effectively used in furniture production. It is so easy to work with it that each person has the opportunity to independently create different unique designs that fit perfectly into a certain interior.
- furniture board- a modern, environmentally friendly, durable material that is used not only for the production of furniture (including children's) and its elements (frames, walls, shelves, wardrobes), steps, countertops, window sills, but also for interior decoration.
- Produced from natural spliced lamellas. Due to the many layers of lamellas glued in different directions, the material is durable, does not deform or crack.
- The furniture board is an eco-friendly analogue of chipboard. Unlike chipboard, which uses formaldehyde resins for its production, furniture board is durable and retains the properties of wood with minimal use of glue. It can be made from almost any type of wood.
- The furniture board can be solid-lamellar (from solid bars-lamellas without joints along the length) and spliced (with joined lamellas along the length). The lamellas are spliced along the length using a spiked connection. The spike can be seen from above ("herringbone") or from the side (then an even joint is visible from above).
| view from above | side view (edge) | |
| open spike | herringbone spike is stronger and smooths out the color difference between the lamellas |

How to determine the type of shield?
The grade of the shield is determined by two sides and can be of the following types: A/A, A/B, A/C, B/B, B/C, C/C.
- Grade A - selected according to the pattern, even in tone, uniform in texture, without defects.
- Grade B - without pattern selection, even in tone, uniform in texture.
- Grade C - without selection for pattern, tone and texture, minor defects.
So why should you pay attention to oak furniture board?
Oak has undeniable advantages over other tree species and has been famous since ancient times for its strength, legendary hardness and durability.
The main advantages of oak furniture board:
- Does not emit resin during operation
- Best wear resistance
- Strength
- Durability. Unlimited service life
- Aesthetics. Unique pattern and smell
- Resistant to decay due to the presence of tannins
- Low flammability
- High moisture resistance
- Healing properties
- Ease of maintenance
| It is an erroneous opinion that substandard materials are used for the production of furniture panels. The production of a furniture board is a labor-intensive process. To offer the buyer a shield of decent quality, it is necessary to follow the technology of its production and apply maximum accuracy to the process. | |
| 1. To begin with, the edged board is dried in drying chambers. The internal stress of lumber is removed and the moisture content of the wood is 8% ± 2%. | 5. To splice the blanks along the length at the ends along the edge with trimming the shoulders, toothed spikes are cut, on which glue is applied with a thickness of 0.1 to 0.3 mm and the lamellas are spliced along the length with trimming to size. |
| 2. After the wood is brought to the required percentage of moisture, the defective places are opened and the blanks are calibrated. Base surfaces are prepared for further processing and division into lamellae (for solid-lamellar panels). | 6. To remove the remaining adhesive, it is necessary to mill the blanks longitudinally. In this way, precise geometric shapes are obtained and a high surface finish is achieved for their subsequent gluing along the width. |
| 3. The blanks are pre-faced, their curvature is eliminated, and divided into lamellas of a given length. The ends are cut to remove cracks after drying, defective areas are removed. The blanks are cut into longitudinal bars of a given width. Short workpieces without defects are subsequently used for splicing. | 7. How is the bonding of the shield? Glue is applied with a thickness of 0.1 to 0.3 mm on the edges of the bars for gluing across the width into a shield for a smooth joint. |
| 4. After the longitudinal blanks have been cut, it is necessary to optimize them in length and cut out defective areas to obtain defect-free blanks. | 8. To achieve the ideal quality of the shield, it is necessary to calibrate it, remove the remaining glue, if necessary, remove the defective gluing with a longitudinal cut, then glue them again, obtain the required thickness dimension and sand the surface of the shield. |
Wood has been used by mankind for arranging their life since time immemorial. The tree turned out to be a very convenient, economical and environmentally friendly building material. But a wooden board, for all its merits, had one significant drawback, which was expressed in the fact that the larger its size, the more likely it would be subject to cracking and deformation. Therefore, a furniture board was invented, which was able to level all these shortcomings.
Definition
A furniture board is a material obtained by a production method, completely consisting of parts of natural wood.
Furniture panels are widely used for the manufacture of a wide range of solid wood furniture, wooden stairs, as well as various joinery for interior decoration of various premises. A special place is occupied by the use of furniture panels as a universal finishing material for creating original interiors of hotels, cafes, restaurants and fashionable clubs.
The first production of glued wooden canvas dates back to the early Middle Ages, but the mass industrial production of furniture panels began in the 70s of the last century.
Production technology
According to the manufacturing technology, furniture boards almost do not differ from the production of other finished wood products. And without going into particular details and details, natural wood shields are made in the following sequence:
- Wood harvested at the root is spread on boards of a certain thickness and thoroughly dried to 8-12% residual moisture.
- The dried lumber is then cut on special automatic cutting lines into lamellas (bars of strictly defined sizes), if the technology provides, then the ends of the wooden bars are cut into a slot to create a stronger longitudinal connection.
- The resulting lamellas are assembled on special devices into shields of certain sizes along the length and width, fastening the wood bars together along and across. The joints of the bars are pre-treated with an adhesive solution to give the future product such necessary properties as solidity and strength. Further, this typed wooden structure is compressed from all sides with clamps and left until the glue dries completely for at least two to three days.
- The semi-finished product of future furniture panels thus obtained does not yet have a flat surface and the correct external dimensions, therefore, the blanks are sent for further processing to universal four-sided machines. Here, the workpiece is planed in both planes and cut along the edges to the size of the width of the shield, and then it is already trimmed along the length.
- At the final stage, the finished furniture boards are sorted and, if necessary, the remaining chips and cracks are repaired with putty in the color of the wood, after which they are polished on special machines to give the final look.

Kinds
Depending on the technology used in the assembly of lumber blanks, the following types of furniture panels are distinguished:
- with a one-piece web design;
- with a spliced web structure, which, in turn, is divided into products:
- with open spike
- with a closed spike;
- with a single layer;
- with multi-layer fabric.
According to the method of further application, the manufactured canvas made of natural wood, as a rule, is also divided into:
- furniture board, which is glued from lamellas along the entire length of the canvas and has a high quality surface;
- carpentry with lower quality surfaces that will require finishing.
Classification
Furniture panels are classified according to grade, which is determined by the state of quality of the surfaces of the canvas.
The variety record is indicated by the letters: A, B, C.
But in practice, the inscription is made in two positions, so the letters A / B mean that the wooden canvas is made with the quality of one surface satisfying type A, and the second surface of type B, and this is done for each released shield by analogy.
The "Extra" variety has an all-lamellar canvas, in which the lamellas are selected according to the texture pattern, the main color and the overall tone. Such shields should not have scratches or cracks, and knots are not desirable in them.
Grade "A" is also selected for uniformity of tone and structural pattern, while also avoiding serious surface defects and many knots.
Grade “B” is already made from spliced lamellas and no special selection is made for tone and uniformity of the structure. There should be no obvious defects on the surface and only not very large cracks are allowed.
Grade "C" may have cracks and chips on the surface, as well as "live" knots. Such furniture boards, as a rule, are used in the form of blanks for further lamination or wood veneer coating.
Colors
The uniqueness of the technology for the production of furniture panels lies in the fact that it can be made from any type of wood that exists in the world. The resulting solid wood panel with a natural shade of texture will depend only on the type of wood from which the lumber was made.
The most common and affordable types of trees for the manufacture of furniture panels are:
- pine, with shades from yellow-whitish sapwood, which may darken slightly during drying, taking on a brownish-red color;
- oak, which has a brownish or yellow-brownish texture with narrow yellow-white stripes;
- birch, which has an ivory to gray-red hue with a layered texture with small dark wavy lines,
- alder, which can have up to 30 reddish natural shades.
For the production of furniture facades, such types of wood are often used as:
- cherries or cherries with a natural color in dark red tones with green splashes, expressed as a pattern of parallel wavy lines;
- ash, reminiscent of an oak structure, only slightly lighter with a matte gray or white tint;
- maple, a hardwood with a beautiful texture of light reddish color.
Dimensions
Manufacturers of furniture panels have tried to cover all areas of use of this versatile material. Therefore, we present in the tables only the main standard sizes that are found on today's market.

A wide range of manufactured various sizes of furniture boards makes it possible to use it in the manufacture of:
- staircase structures,
- door panels,
- elements of interior decoration,
- built-in structures.
But the most important purpose of the furniture wooden canvas is its use as the main material in the production of furniture from a natural array, so it is produced from it:
- tables and countertops,
- cabinets and cabinets,
- kitchen fronts,
- beds and bedroom sets,
- various elements of furniture decor.
Do-it-yourself wardrobe from a furniture board
As one of the advantages of a furniture board is its availability both in price when buying, and in the ability to independently use it in the manufacture of home furniture from a natural array.
The simplest product that does not require anything other than straight profiles is a cabinet. Now, following the sequence, we proceed.
- In order to make a cabinet, we need, first of all, to draw a drawing on a scale that will allow us to clearly calculate the need for materials and fittings.
- For work, we prepare the following tools in advance:
- pencil;
- roulette;
- corner 90°;
- hacksaw for wood, preferably with a fine tooth;
- drill or screwdriver;
- a set of drills for wood;
- paint brushes;
- sandpaper number 1.
According to the calculation made, we buy:
- furniture board in quantity, taking into account cutting;
- laminated fiberboard or thin plywood for the back wall;
- various accessories (furniture hinges, holders, ties, door handles and other necessary devices);
- wood screws (read useful information about choosing self-tapping screws);
- furniture varnish.
- Strictly according to the drawing, we proceed to cutting the purchased furniture panels, while not forgetting the main principle: we measure seven times - we cut it once.
- We fasten the cut parts with fittings and self-tapping screws and begin the final assembly.
- After assembly, we clean all the soiled places, chips and scratches with sandpaper and varnish in two layers, while it is necessary to take a break between varnishing for at least two days.
You need to know that when working with a furniture board, care must be taken, since an unprotected surface can be easily stained or scratched.
How to work with furniture panels, see the video
All your wardrobe, made of natural solid wood from a furniture board, is ready. And if the experience was successful, you can not stop and make other home furniture.
Life time
Well-crafted products and furniture made from high-quality furniture panels can, under favorable conditions, exist without loss of consumer qualities for up to 100 years. It should be borne in mind that solid wood furniture lends itself well to restoration and restoration. For example, there are wood products that are more than one hundred years old.
