The use of protective film is beneficial to the maintenance frequency of furniture boards

Update:05 Sep 2024

Furniture boards will inevitably be subject to various forms of wear and tear in daily use, including surface scratches, oil residue, friction marks, etc. These wear and tear phenomena are more obvious for furniture with high frequency of use, such as dining tables, desks, cabinets, etc. In the long run, the aesthetics and functionality of furniture boards will decline, and regular maintenance and repair will be required.
The protective film effectively prevents direct wear and tear of furniture boards by external objects by forming a physical barrier on the surface of furniture boards. For example, tableware, stationery or electronic devices on the desktop are prone to leave scratches on the desktop. After using the protective film, these scratches will first appear on the surface of the protective film, not the furniture board itself. The protective film can withstand these daily frictions and impacts, avoiding visible damage to the furniture surface.
The use environment of furniture boards often involves contact with chemicals such as water, oil, and detergents, especially in humid or oily places such as kitchens and bathrooms. Untreated furniture boards, especially wood or composite furniture boards, are prone to deformation, mold, and even rot due to liquid penetration. If the surface is exposed to chemicals for a long time, fading and corrosion may occur, which will cause the furniture surface to undergo complex repairs or even replacements.
The waterproof, oil-proof and chemical-resistant functions of the protective film can effectively isolate liquids and chemicals and prevent them from directly contacting the furniture surface. For example, once wooden furniture absorbs moisture, the internal fibers will swell and lose structural strength, causing the furniture board to warp or deform. The protective film can prevent moisture from penetrating into the wood and maintain the structural integrity of the furniture.
In addition, chemical substances are particularly harmful to painted furniture. Chemical substances such as detergents, cosmetics, and oil stains may cause the paint to fade, oxidize, and even destroy the integrity of the paint layer. The protective film can serve as an isolation layer for chemicals, reducing the risk of chemical corrosion. Therefore, furniture with protective films does not need to be frequently re-polished, painted, and other repair operations, which greatly reduces the maintenance workload.
