Appearance Quality of Customized Hotel Furniture

The appearance quality of hotel furniture primarily requires that the tabletops be flat, the workmanship be meticulous, the decorations be refined, and the textures be clear and aesthetically pleasing. Typically, guest room furniture is made from particle board, medium-density fiberboard, plywood, and laminate as the base materials, while thin wood, wood veneer, and three-ply boards are used as surface materials. Different base materials and surface materials have distinct material properties, and failing to pay attention to these properties and their proper usage methods can often lead to warping of the boards.

The structural characteristics of the surface materials on the back and front of the boards should be the same or similar, and the moisture content of the base materials is generally required to be between six to ten percent. It is advisable to select materials from the same batch. During workshop processing, efforts should be made to shorten the loading and pressing times. Different material properties, varying moisture content of the surface materials, and different adhesive thicknesses, pressing times, and pressures should all be taken into account.

Structural Strength of Customized Hotel Furniture

Guest room furniture is primarily fixed and generally consists of board structures. Wood screws, hardware connectors, and adhesives are commonly used as joining methods. When using materials, it is essential to consider the different material properties; for example, particle board and medium-density fiberboard have poor nail-holding power and should be avoided in areas that require frequent movement or strong nail-holding, such as door hinge screws and drawer track screws, which may become loose and produce noise. Particular attention should be paid to the hardware hanging points on bed panels and mirror frames, possibly using wood for reinforcement. Currently, the popular design incorporates 45-degree inverted structures using wooden blocks.

Material Costs of Customized Hotel Furniture

When meeting usage requirements, it is advisable to use cost-effective materials. While using large surface materials, attention should also be paid to the use of smaller materials of the same type to improve material utilization comprehensively. Guest room furniture is generally produced in large quantities, so it is advisable to use computer-aided layout planning to efficiently utilize both large and small materials and reduce material costs. Different structures should consider a comparison of material costs.



Efficient Production

When material costs are the same, it is important to identify which materials are easier to process and which techniques can save on production costs while improving efficiency, especially in processes like milling, routing, and engraving. Materials that can be easily cut and produce smooth and clean finishes should be prioritized.

Transportation and Installation of Customized Hotel Furniture

Hotel floors are generally high, requiring that furniture be lightweight and easy to transport. Particularly for items like connected headboards or extended desks, elevators may not be able to accommodate them, and the goods lift is usually dismantled during furniture installation. Therefore, careful consideration must be given to safe transportation from the perspectives of material weight and structure.


Safety Performance of Customized Hotel Furniture

There are typically no specific regulations regarding formaldehyde emission limits in hotels, but fire safety requirements for furniture exist. In situations permitted by the hotel, certain areas can use fire-resistant boards, heat-resistant paints, and flame-retardant fabrics. Better hotels may even require that the wood used in furniture production undergo fireproof treatment.

All of these factors need to be comprehensively considered and applied in practice. It is recommended that customized hotel furniture production meets hotel requirements while being efficiently produced and cost-effective. Utilizing specialized processing techniques and equipment will ensure that the produced furniture aligns with the comfortable, human-centered requirements of high-end hotels.
