How to Choose the Right Material for Furniture Manufacturing?

Planning a new furniture project? Choosing the right material is one of the most important tasks. Laminated Particle Board (LMDP) and Veneered Board are two popular but very different options. Learn which one best suits your needs and how to maximize the benefits of these materials.

LMDP – The Perfect Balance of Price and Design

LMDP (Laminated Particle Board) is an affordable and aesthetic choice. This material offers:

  • A wide variety of colors and textures, from classic wood patterns to modern glossy surfaces. "Trukmės" offers a vast selection of LMDP wood décor panels, including highly realistic designs from Kronospan, SKIN, and SM’Art, featuring decors such as Primavera, Zuccherro, Cremona, Armandona, Gamma, Cumino, and Cannella.
  • High wear resistance, making it perfect for wardrobes, shelves, kitchen, and bathroom furniture.
  • One of the best price-to-quality ratios on the market.

What is LMDP Made Of?

LMDP consists of the following components:

  • Wood particles – The core is made of compressed wood chips, often sourced from sawmill waste or recycled wood.
  • Adhesives – Synthetic resins (urea-formaldehyde, melamine, or polyurethane) bond the particles, ensuring strength and stability.
  • Laminated surface – A decorative laminate layer that is resistant to wear, moisture, and temperature changes.
  • Protective coating (optional) – Some LMDP panels feature a transparent top layer for increased scratch and UV resistance.

LMDP is widely used in furniture manufacturing, interior design, and structural applications due to its affordability, easy processing, and durability.

     

Veneered Board – Luxury and Uniqueness

If you seek natural beauty and exclusivity, veneered board is an excellent choice.

  • Each board features a unique texture, as it is covered with a layer of natural wood veneer.
  • Available in oak, walnut, and ash veneer, as well as engineered and reconstructed finishes.
  • Offers various veneer qualities, from smooth grain to textured wood patterns.
  • "Trukmės" provides a wide range of veneer choices, from high-end uniform grain to more natural, textured options. The MADERA veneer collection is pre-treated and ready for furniture production, eliminating the need for additional oil coatings.

What is Veneered Board Made Of?

A veneered board consists of a core material covered with a thin layer of natural wood veneer. It is used in furniture production and interior finishing to achieve a high-end wood appearance.

Core Material Options:

  • Particleboard (LMDP): Compressed wood particles bonded with adhesives.
  • Medium-density fiberboard (MDF): A denser, more uniform panel made of finely processed wood fibers.
  • Plywood: Multiple layers of natural wood veneer glued together in alternating grain directions for added stability.

Other Components:

  • Wood veneer (top layer): A 0.5–2 mm thick layer of oak, walnut, ash, or cherry veneer, giving it a natural wood look.
  • Adhesives: Ensure the veneer is firmly bonded to the core material.
  • Protective coatings (optional):
    • Lacquer – Increases resistance to moisture, mechanical impact, and UV exposure.
    • Oils or waxes – Enhance the wood’s natural texture and create a silky finish.
    • Staining or painting – Used to modify or intensify the wood’s natural color.

When choosing the right material, consider the following factors:

  • Budget – LMDP is more affordable, while veneered board is a higher-end option.
  • Design goals – LMDP offers uniform patterns and a wide range of colors, while veneered boards provide a natural, unique wood grain appearance.
  • Durability and practicality – LMDP is great for everyday furniture, while veneered boards are ideal for statement furniture pieces.
