Takeaways

• 😀 Plywood (Multiplex) is the most common material used in furniture making due to its affordability, availability, and ease of processing.
• 😀 Blockboard is a popular alternative to plywood, made from solid wood pieces and covered with a veneer layer, offering a lighter option.
• 😀 HMR (High Moisture Resistance) is ideal for areas exposed to moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms, but comes at a higher price.
• 😀 PVC board is highly durable, waterproof, and termite-resistant, making it the best choice for high-moisture environments, although it is more expensive.
• 😀 MDF, LDF, and HDF are not recommended for furniture due to their fragility and susceptibility to damage from moisture and physical stress.
• 😀 FJL (Finger Joint Lumber) and OSB (Oriented Strand Board) are less commonly used but can be durable options for specific projects.
• 😀 For furniture in damp environments, HMR or PVC board are the best choices for their moisture resistance and durability.
• 😀 Lower-quality plywood may contain chemicals that can affect the contents of cabinets, so it’s essential to choose high-quality materials.
• 😀 The processing of materials like HMR and PVC board is simple and doesn’t require additional sanding or finishing compared to plywood.
• 😀 Depo Tropika is a recommended supplier for high-quality furniture materials, with both physical stores and an online presence for easy shopping.

Q & A

What is multiplex and why is it commonly used in furniture making?

Multiplex, also known as plywood or triplex, is a material made from multiple layers of wood bonded together. It is commonly used in furniture making because it is affordable, easy to process, and has a variety of thicknesses available, typically ranging from 12mm to 18mm.

What are the disadvantages of using low-quality multiplex for furniture?

Low-quality multiplex may have defects like holes, a rough surface, and strong chemical odors. It is not recommended for furniture that will store food because these chemicals can affect the contents of the furniture.

What is blockboard and how does it differ from multiplex?

Blockboard is a material made from small pieces of solid wood arranged and then coated with veneer to give it a smooth finish. Unlike multiplex, which is made of multiple thin layers of wood, blockboard uses solid wood for its core, making it slightly lighter but still strong.

Why is blockboard considered a good alternative to multiplex?

Blockboard is a good alternative because it is light, affordable, and easy to process. It is also available with a pre-applied melamine layer, which simplifies the construction process as it eliminates the need for additional finishing.

What is HMR (High Moisture Resistance) material, and why is it used in furniture?

HMR, or High Moisture Resistance material, is typically green MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard). It is used in furniture, especially in areas like kitchens and bathrooms, where moisture resistance is essential. HMR materials are more durable than regular MDF and are easy to process.

What are the benefits of using PVC board for furniture?

PVC board is termite-resistant, moisture-resistant, and waterproof. It is a suitable option for areas with high humidity or dampness. It is lighter than other materials like HMR and does not absorb water, making it ideal for damp environments, but it is more expensive.

What are the main drawbacks of using MDF, LDF, or HDF for furniture?

MDF, LDF, and HDF are made from wood particles and are more susceptible to damage, especially when exposed to moisture. These materials are fragile and cannot be repaired easily if damaged. They also tend to break down over time, especially with exposure to water.

What is FJL, and is it commonly used in furniture making?

FJL (Finger-Jointed Lumber) is a type of solid wood that is joined together to form longer lengths. While not as common, FJL can be used for making furniture, especially in applications where solid wood is preferred. However, its use is rarer compared to materials like plywood or blockboard.

What is the most recommended material for furniture according to the video?

The most recommended material for furniture, especially kitchen sets and cupboards, is PVC board. It is highly durable, waterproof, and resistant to termites, making it ideal for long-lasting furniture, although it is more expensive.

Where can you purchase high-quality furniture materials like those mentioned in the video?

High-quality furniture materials can be purchased at Depo Tropika, which has locations in Cikarang, Bekasi, and Bali. They offer a variety of materials including multiplex, blockboard, and PVC board, as well as an online store on Tokopedia.
