New Decorative Material - Soft Leaf Board
1、 Overview
Soft leaf board, as a new type of decorative material, is gradually emerging in the field of architectural decoration. It breaks through the inherent pattern of traditional decorative panels, bringing new choices for space decoration with unique texture and rich expressive power. Soft leaf boards are usually processed and integrated with natural plant fibers or other flexible materials using special techniques, combining flexibility and certain strength to meet diverse design needs.
2、 Characteristics
Unique flexibility: Unlike ordinary hard boards, the biggest advantage of Soft leaf board is their excellent flexibility. It can easily bend, twist, and even fold along various curves, giving designers infinite possibilities in styling design. Whether it's creating smooth curved shapes or creative three-dimensional structures, soft leaf panels can perfectly achieve them, adding agility and artistic sense to the space.
Natural and simple appearance: Most Soft leaf board focus on natural texture in their raw material selection, retaining the color and texture of plant fibers themselves. The integration of natural elements endows the soft leaf board with a unique charm, creating a warm, comfortable and close to nature atmosphere, especially suitable for design projects that pursue natural style, pastoral style or retro style.
Good sound absorption performance: The fiber structure inside the soft blade board gives it a certain degree of sound absorption and noise reduction function. Using Soft leaf board for decoration in indoor spaces can effectively absorb sound waves, reduce echoes and noise reflections, improve the acoustic environment of the space, and create a quiet and comfortable living and working space for people.
Superior environmental performance: Many soft blades are made from renewable natural materials, and the use of chemical additives is minimized in the production process. This makes the soft leaf board a green and environmentally friendly decorative material, which meets the current society's requirements for sustainable development and environmentally friendly decoration, and helps to create a healthy and pollution-free indoor environment.
Lightweight: Compared to traditional heavy boards, soft leaf boards are significantly lighter in weight. This not only reduces the labor intensity during the construction process, facilitates handling and installation, but also makes the application of Soft leaf board safer and more reliable for spaces with strict load-bearing requirements, such as indoor decoration in high-rise buildings.
3、 Raw materials and processes for production
raw material
Natural plant fibers, such as flax fiber, coconut palm fiber, bamboo fiber, etc., are widely sourced and have good flexibility and natural texture.
Synthetic fibers: Some high-performance soft blade boards will add an appropriate amount of synthetic fibers to enhance the strength and durability of the board, such as polyester fibers, nylon fibers, etc.
Auxiliary materials: including environmentally friendly adhesives, fire retardants, preservatives, etc., used to ensure the structural stability, fire resistance, and anti-corrosion performance of the board.
workmanship
Fiber pretreatment: The collected natural plant fibers are cleaned, combed, and degummed to remove impurities and make their length and thickness uniform, preparing for subsequent processing.
Mixing and stirring: Mix and stir the processed fibers with auxiliary materials in a certain proportion to ensure uniform distribution of each component.
Forming and pressing: By using special molds and pressing equipment, the mixed materials are pressed into the desired shape and thickness of the board. During the pressing process, temperature, pressure, and time should be controlled to ensure the quality and performance of the board.
Post treatment: Drying, polishing, surface coating and other post-treatment processes are carried out on the formed soft blade board to further improve its flatness, smoothness and weather resistance.
4、 Application scenarios
Indoor wall decoration: Soft leaf panels can be directly pasted or hung on the wall to create a unique background wall. In living rooms, bedrooms, conference rooms, and other spaces, it can add layers and artistic atmosphere to the walls with its unique texture and color. For example, using brightly colored and lively patterned soft leaf panels as background wall decorations in children's rooms can stimulate children's imagination and creativity.
Ceiling Decoration: Used for indoor ceilings, Soft leaf board can break the monotony of traditional ceilings and create various unique shapes. Ceiling designs such as wavy and curved shapes not only add fun to the space, but also visually stretch the space, making the room appear more spacious and bright.
Partition design: Using Soft leaf board to create partitions can not only divide the space but also maintain its transparency. Its flexibility can make partition design more flexible and diverse, such as using movable and foldable soft leaf panels for partitions, which can adjust the spatial layout according to actual needs at any time.
Furniture decoration: Soft leaf board can be used for surface decoration of furniture, such as cabinet doors, drawer panels, tabletops, and other areas. By using different splicing and pattern designs, unique personality and artistic value are added to furniture, enhancing its overall quality and aesthetic appeal.
Commercial display and exhibition: Soft leaf boards are commonly used in commercial shops, exhibition halls, museums, and other places to make display props, display racks, and background designs. Its unique appearance and ease of styling can attract the audience's attention, highlight the display theme, and create a unique commercial atmosphere.
5、 Installation and maintenance
install
Wall installation: First, ensure that the wall is flat, dry, and clean. For the installation of smaller soft blade boards, specialized environmentally friendly adhesive can be used to directly stick them together; For large-scale installation, hanging installation can be used. First, install the keel on the wall, and then fix the soft leaf plate on the keel.
Ceiling installation: Build the ceiling keel frame according to the design plan, and fix the soft leaf board on the keel according to the predetermined shape and layout. During the installation process, attention should be paid to avoiding damage to the soft blades and ensuring that the joints are tight and seamless.
Partition installation: if the partition is fixed, refer to the wall installation method; If it is a movable partition, corresponding track and pulley systems need to be installed to ensure the flexibility and stability of the partition.
maintain
Daily cleaning: Regularly wipe the surface of the soft blade with a soft damp cloth to remove dust and stains. Avoid using sharp or rough cleaning tools to prevent scratching the surface of the board.
Stain treatment: For stubborn stains, dilute them with a mild cleaning agent and gently wipe them with a soft cloth. After wiping, rinse with clean water and promptly dry to prevent discoloration or mold caused by residual moisture.
Moisture and sun protection: Soft leaf boards should be kept away from prolonged exposure to humid environments to prevent mold and deterioration. At the same time, direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent the board from fading or deforming. In humid areas or places with strong sunlight, appropriate moisture-proof and sun protection measures can be taken, such as installing dehumidification equipment, curtains, etc.
