Why is bamboo furniture cheaper than solid wood?

 Bamboo furniture or wood furniture？ In fact, through some intuitive comparisons, we can easily find that bamboo furniture has higher cost performance and durability.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of bamboo furniture compared with wooden furniture?

Process.

First of all, bamboo is processed by cutting, bonding and other processes, and then through scientific arrangement and combination, it can balance various internal and external forces, and is not easy to crack and deform; but wooden furniture is significantly affected by the environment, cracking and deformation is an old problem of wooden furniture.

Insect and moth proof.

Whether it is bamboo or wood furniture, there is a risk of moths. However, the performance of these two kinds of furniture in terms of insect and moth prevention is different, so who is better? In the process of bamboo processing, cooking and carbonization are required. During these two processes, the parasites in the bamboo are basically extinct, and after the whole process is completed, the borers are not easy to appear. However, the materials of wooden furniture will not be processed by these processes, and only materials such as preservatives can be used to prevent insects and moths, so in this regard, wooden furniture is not as good as bamboo furniture.

Environmental protection.

Environmental protection is mainly considered from two aspects: natural environmental protection and furniture environmental protection. In terms of natural environmental protection, the growth cycle of bamboo is usually about 5 years, and the planting is simple, while the growth cycle of trees is usually 20 to 50 years, and even the growth cycle of some precious woods is as long as hundreds of years, so in terms of sustainable use, Bamboo is more abundant; in terms of environmental protection of furniture, bamboo furniture is also made of natural materials through deep processing, which is almost equivalent to wooden furniture in terms of environmental protection.

Materials.

The main material of bamboo furniture is made of adhesive, and then treated with high temperature and high pressure, so the material of bamboo furniture is non-toxic, firm in structure, not easy to deform, outstanding in flame retardant, wear resistance, mildew resistance, and the material The cost is cheaper. Wood is the material of furniture, which is processed after natural drying. Therefore, the texture and color of natural wood are more friendly and closer to nature than bamboo furniture, but at the same time, the cost is more expensive.
