Is it normal for mahogany furniture to crack See the cause and then deal with it

Why does mahogany furniture crack

Generally speaking, it is relatively normal for mahogany furniture to crack, and there are many reasons for cracking, including the wood characteristics of mahogany furniture, production process problems and improper maintenance and use.

First, the properties of the wood itself. It is relatively normal for furniture to crack, and the same is true for mahogany furniture. The mahogany of ordinary mahogany furniture belongs to the dead cell tree, which will crack slightly, but will not burst.

Also, when the air dries, the furniture loses moisture and shrinks; When the humidity increases, the furniture absorbs moisture and expands slightly.

Second, the production process. When making mahogany furniture, there is an important process of drying treatment, which is an important step to avoid cracking of mahogany furniture. If the merchant does not have strict drying treatment due to equipment, cost and other problems, furniture cracking will also occur.

In addition, if the mortise and tenon structure.

If the process is not up to standard, the installation is not in place, and with the change of weather, external temperature and humidity, it will lead to thermal expansion and contraction.

The mortise and tenon structure will adjust and reset, which will eventually lead to cracking and bursting of mahogany furniture.

Third, improper maintenance and use of furniture. Improper use and maintenance of mahogany furniture will also cause cracking, such as in the cold season in the north, there is heating in the home, and mahogany furniture will be baked close to the heating for a long time, which will lead to cracking. In addition, in the hot summer, if the mahogany furniture is exposed to the scorching sun, it will also easily cause the mahogany furniture to burst and deform, thus affecting the service life of the wooden furniture.

Mahogany furniture restoration method

If you find that your mahogany furniture has cracks, the methods used are different for the different degrees of cracking of mahogany furniture. For example, if the cracking degree is small, it can be repaired by itself; If the cracking is large, it is necessary to have a professional person come to repair it. Below, let's take a look at the mahogany furniture restoration method with Zhenjiang mahogany!

If there are fine cracks or small cracks in mahogany furniture, you can use water to drop into the cracks for 7 consecutive days, and then use more than 1500 mesh sandpaper or fine cloth to wipe dry, clean, and finally paint or wax. It is worth noting that when painting, you must choose colorless and odorless environmentally friendly paint, apply it thinly once, polish it once, and repeat it four times; If you choose to wax, polish it with a muslin cloth and then wax it four times.

If there are small cracks or medium cracks in the mahogany furniture, you can use sandpaper to polish some mahogany fine powder and bury it in the cracks, with 502 glue.

Or seal it with chemical glue, and then wipe it dry with more than 1500 mesh water sandpaper or a fine cloth, and paint or wax it after drying.

If there is a medium crack or a large crack in the mahogany furniture, it is necessary to find a skilled and experienced professional to repair it, generally with a saw or knife or cut off the mahogany wood strips and repair them to the size of the crack. Then pour leather glue into the cracks, and then gently insert the leather glue-coated wood strips into the cracks. After the above operation is dried, it is polished or dried before being painted or waxed.

Cracking of wood is a normal phenomenon, and it is not normal to prevent it from cracking. And all of our methods are changing the normal situation. When you understand this, you may feel a lot calmer when you encounter cracking.

Generally, wood has a moisture content, which is controlled at about 12% or below. The temperature and humidity are different in different places, and the humidity of the air is the key to determining the moisture content of wood. For example, the average annual moisture content of timber in Beijing is 16% in Shanghai, and it is higher in Wenzhou and Haikou.

When wood comes into contact with air, it absorbs moisture from the air.

In order to equilibrium the moisture content of the furniture and the moisture content in the air, the dry air continuously absorbs moisture from the furniture, thus bringing both sides into equilibrium. In the process, cracking is natural.

There is no such thing as wood that does not crack, and even the cement steel bars will deform and shrink. Generally, real mahogany is a dead cell tree, which will crack slightly, but will not explode or crack through. Although the impact is not large, mahogany furniture usually pays attention to maintenance.

Many novices encounter cracks and theorize to the merchants, saying that they are flaws. In fact, wind cracking is a natural process of wood release, and playing with wood is the consciousness of wood cracking. In general, the main reason is that because of the climate, there are differences in temperature and humidity at home, which leads to changes in the moisture content of wood, so there will be cracking and deformation.

1. Repair methods for fine cracks and medium cracks. For fine cracks, water can be used to drop into the cracks for 7 consecutive days, using the inherent characteristics of wood shrinkage and wet swelling, Bizhen ridge cracks and water swelling, fine lines will heal naturally within 7 days, and then polish with more than 1500 mesh water sand paper, wipe dry and wipe with a fine cloth, and then paint and wax. Paint should choose colorless and odorless environmental protection paint, apply it thinly once, grind your hands once, and repeat it four times.

The waxing is also done four times, but it should be wiped with a fine cloth instead of sandpaper.

2. Repair method of medium crack and large crack. Use a saw or knife to see or cut off strips of wood inside the mahogany, making the strips as large as possible to cracks. Don't be in a hurry, repair slowly, after it is done, apply leather glue, pour leather glue into the crack and immediately gently inlay the wooden strip of leather glue into the crack, and after it is very dry, polish, paint or wax the base of the brigade.

It is normal for mahogany furniture to have slight cracks. The mahogany furniture that has just been delivered has a lot of cracks and should contact the dealer for replacement.

Since real mahogany generally belongs to the dead cell tree, it will crack slightly, resulting in cracking of mahogany furniture. In fact, as long as it is made of real wood, it is normal for there to be slight cracking, and the same is true for mahogany furniture.

As long as the real mahogany furniture has undergone formal and strict drying treatment, the general cracking will not be obvious, and even if there is cracking, it is a very small crack, which usually does not affect the use. If the cracked gap is relatively large, the consumer had better contact the dealer to send a professional mahogany furniture maintenance master to repair the past, and if it cannot be repaired, it should be returned to the factory to replace the damaged parts.

If it is a quality problem, you can ask the manufacturer to repair it for free, the specific situation depends on the degree of cracking of the mahogany furniture and the warranty commitment when buying the mahogany furniture at that time.

1、caused by the woody properties of mahogany。Everything has its own advantages and disadvantages. Mahogany furniture too.

Mahogany is strong and durable, but it is wood after all. In the case of wood, it will be affected by temperature and humidity, and it is normal for slight cracking to occur, but it is only a slight crack, but there will be no explosion, cracking, etc. Non-cracking wood does not exist.

The drying process of mahogany furniture is not up to par。Mahogany raw materials are dried before they are put into production. Drying is a very complex process, which requires attention to temperature regulation, dehumidification, etc. to remove moisture from the wood.

When drying, it is necessary to pay attention to the stacking and placement of wood, as well as the control of time, if these operations are not qualified, the equilibrium moisture content of mahogany is not reached, resulting in the drying quality of the wood is not high, or it is not enough to put into production after drying. When the furniture produced from this wood encounters environmental changes, the furniture will crack under the stress remaining in the wood. When the air is extremely dry, the furniture loses moisture and shrinks, which can lead to cracks in the surface of the furniture.

On the contrary, when the humidity of the outdoor air increases, the furniture will absorb moisture from the air to achieve the balance of moisture content inside and outside, and the furniture will expand, and in severe cases, the wooden structure of the mahogany furniture will be broken. This is the main cause of cracking in mahogany furniture.

Caused by improper use and maintenance of mahogany furniture。In this case, many people are caused by their ignorance of mahogany furniture, and they also think that the mahogany furniture materials are so good and the craftsmanship is so exquisite, they definitely don't need to maintain it. In the process of furniture use, if it is in a humid environment for a long time, causing the furniture to absorb water, it will become moldy, rotten and smelly; If it is in a dry environment, the furniture will lose water, and cracks will occur, such as furniture close to heating for a long time, exposure to the scorching sun, etc.

Therefore, in the process of using mahogany furniture, we should pay attention to the environment where it is placed, and the control and adjustment of temperature and humidity.

Do you want to know if the mahogany furniture in your home will crack after a long time? How to fix cracking?

Yes, it will not be maintained, it is recommended that you can wipe teak oil with a good effect, do not need frequent maintenance and renovation, the solid content is very high, the maintenance period is long, anti-corrosion, anti-moth, and the waterproof performance is superior.

Some mahogany is imitation and won't take long to crack. Real mahogany can be used for more than 10 years.

Furniture that is made of solid wood will crack, and the cracking is due to the change in the moisture content of the wood.

It will crack because there are very few real mahogany furniture on the market now.

Solid wood furniture is generally subject to cracking and deformation.

Office furniture is no problem.

But the grade is different.

Cracking of mahogany furniture is a normal phenomenon. Mahogany furniture wood contains water, is active wood, when the air humidity is too low, mahogany furniture will shrink, too high will expand, the natural properties of mahogany make it crack! When the ambient humidity of the furniture exceeds the moisture contained in the furniture components, the moisture inside the furniture is less, and the moisture is absorbed during the breathing process, so all parts of the components will rise due to the increase of moisture; Otherwise, the component will shrink.

No matter how dense the wood is, no matter how dry the environment is, there will still crack and make cracking sounds. The internal structure of mahogany furniture undergoes small movements with time and environmental changes. For example, when assembling mahogany furniture, the mortise and tenon structure may not be fully installed in place for some reasons, or there is a certain dislocation and competition, so after a period of time, due to the change of temperature and humidity, thermal expansion and contraction, the mortise and tenon structure is self-adjusted to reach the due position with the help of force, and there is a cracking sound.
