Misunderstanding 1: Solid wood doors = low formaldehyde
In the eyes of many consumers, solid wood doors do not need to use lacquer, and the panels themselves are more environmentally friendly. Therefore, there is a concept that solid wood doors must be more environmentally friendly than wood panels.
In fact, the surface of solid wood doors should also be varnished, and solid wood doors will also use adhesives, especially solid wood veneer interior doors. Therefore, when buying solid wood doors, it is necessary to find out whether solid wood doors are solid wood doors or solid wood veneer doors. In addition, if it is not natural solid wood doors, adhesives will also be used in the panels of all solid wood doors, and there will also be a problem of formaldehyde emission; solid wood doors and wood panels combined with wooden doors may also involve excessive formaldehyde emissions.
Misunderstanding 2: Light color = less harmful substances
Many people believe that heavy metals must be used to develop colorful wooden doors. When choosing children's furniture, try to choose lighter painted wooden doors.
In fact, the shade of paint has nothing to do with harmful substances. It is wrong to say that the brighter the color of the furniture, the more heavy metals it contains. As long as it is paint, it contains heavy metals and has nothing to do with the depth of the color. For the heavy metal content of the paint, the manufacturer should have a test report, and consumers can pay attention to the inspection when buying. The full name of water-based paint is water-based wood paint, which is a relative concept to paint. In terms of environmental performance, water-based paint is indeed much more environmentally friendly. However, even if water-based paint is used, consumers are still advised to read relevant test reports when purchasing.
Misunderstanding 3: Low formaldehyde = environmental protection
Many parents think that children's furniture with low formaldehyde content is an environmentally friendly wooden door. In fact, the environmental performance of wooden doors also involves aspects such as benzene and heavy metal lead.
Environmental protection is just a relative concept. For furniture, the country has a corresponding hazardous substance limit standard, and its indicator is the amount of hazardous substances released by the furniture. For example, the indicators of wooden furniture are the amount of formaldehyde emission and the content of heavy metals in paint; fabric furniture depends on the persuasiveness of benzene and some volatile organic compounds; stone furniture has requirements for radioactivity. Although the country has relevant regulations, not all products on the market are qualified products. Because children’s immunity is weaker and their health is more likely to be harmed, consumers not only need to pay attention to the amount of formaldehyde released when buying furniture, but also The content of harmful substances should be paid attention to according to the corresponding furniture materials.
When purchasing wooden doors for children's rooms, you should also pay attention to some small details:
Note 1: The surface should be smooth and soft
The shape of the wooden door should try to avoid sharp corners and right angles to prevent children from being punctured and pinched. Some surfaces with sharp corners and rough edges are easy to cause injury. Therefore, parents should try to choose wooden doors with smooth and soft surfaces.
Note 2: The opening size should be moderate
The opening size of children's furniture should be moderate, not too small to prevent fingers and arms from being pinched. It is better if an adult's hand can pass through and have a little room for rotation, and it should not be too large to prevent the head from getting in. Stuck situation.
Note 3: Be careful when the parts are stable
Some parents will paste some beloved cartoon images on the wooden door. Parents must confirm whether the shape of such paste has enough impact resistance to prevent the child from falling off when pushing hard. If there are small parts in the wooden door fittings, it is necessary to see if they are stable to prevent children from tearing off and chewing.
