Artificial wood, also known as resin wood, reclaimed wood, or simulated wood, is an industrial product designed to mimic the appearance and qualities of natural wood. It is favored in many woodworking products due to its ease of handling, durability, and low maintenance requirements. Often made from recycled materials like scrap wood or plastic bottle caps, artificial wood reduces waste and environmental impact.
Artificial wood is extensively used in exterior decoration, including wooden decks, fences, and louvers. Its use in public works projects has been on the rise, owing to its harmonious integration with landscapes, high durability, and safety. It is also utilized for protective fences and stairs in parks. Additionally, artificial wood is employed in manufacturing guitars and speakers.
While it may not match the texture and thermal insulation of natural wood, artificial wood offers diverse colors and styles, creating an impact comparable to natural wood. It is also a sustainable alternative to natural wood, as it requires no new deforestation and can be mass-produced in factories.
1. High Durability
More durable than natural wood, artificial wood resists corrosion and termite damage. It retains its visual quality over time without color changes, making it ideal for applications like wooden decks.
2. Easy Maintenance
Unlike natural wood, artificial wood doesn't require periodic treatments for preservation, mothproofing, or waterproofing. Simple cleaning is sufficient for daily maintenance, although regular cleaning in damp areas is necessary to prevent mold growth.
3. Excellent Workability and Processability
It can be cut, drilled, and processed using standard woodworking hardware, just like natural wood.
4. Safety for Households
Artificial wood is non-toxic, making it safe for households with small children and pets. It also reduces the risk of injuries due to warping or splintering.
5. Color Variety
Available in various colors, artificial wood offers options not typically found in natural wood.
1. Heat Retention
The resin in artificial wood can retain heat, making its surface hot in strong sunlight. Shading measures are recommended in sun-exposed areas.
2. Texture and Fragrance
Although made from a mix of wood powder and resins, the texture and fragrance of artificial wood are inferior to natural wood.
3. Cost
Generally, artificial wood is more expensive than natural wood. However, its longevity and low maintenance can offset the initial cost over time.
Artificial wood varies based on manufacturing processes, raw materials, and finishes.
Types include those molded from wood flour and resin, and those combining wood flour with resins like polyethylene, polypropylene, or ABS.
The strength and texture of artificial wood depend on the ratio of wood flour to resin. Higher wood flour content creates a more natural wood-like finish, while a higher resin content enhances strength.
Finishes like ribbed surfaces for strength and slip resistance, embossed surfaces for a wood-grain appearance, and sanding for a polished texture similar to natural wood, vary in appearance and properties.
