Positive and negative qualities of the material

The furniture market offers a wide range of beds made of solid wood of various valuable wood. Furniture is made of oak, larch and other species, known for strength, unusual beauty, long life. Against the background of these expensive elite species of wood, the pine looks somewhat rustic. But do not ignore the familiar pine, it is much more useful than rare species of wood. For this reason, a pine bed is considered the best option, thanks to which a favorable microclimate is created. The many benefits of pine are often an incentive to purchase a bed from this coniferous tree:

environmental friendliness - the material is completely safe for human health. Moreover, the tree, when heated, begins to release phytoncides into the air. These substances, which are part of the resin, increase the protective features of the body, contributing to a quick recovery in colds and respiratory diseases;
aesthetics - the texture of wood pleases with its natural beauty, therefore it does not require staining and varnishing. It lacks good polishing to make the product look aesthetically pleasing, and also fits any bedroom interior. At will the tree can be tinted or painted in any color;
durability - well-dried and quality-treated wood during the manufacturing process, will last a long time. At the same time, the bed does not deform if the humidity in the room rises or the temperature changes, and does not rot;
ease of care - pine furniture does not require special care. A normal napkin or sponge and a special polishing agent are enough;
safety - pine massif in the manufacture of products does not contain glue, which, when heated, evaporates, releases toxic substances into the air;
the possibility of multiple assembly - installation and dismantling of the product does not affect its quality at all. The wood will not crumble or break at the fastening points;
affordable cost.

Pine, like any other material, has a number of disadvantages:

softness - excessive softness of wood allows it to be easily processed, but also it is easily exposed to mechanical damage (chips, scratches). Only old pines have maximum strength;
the massif of conifers is not homogeneous in comparison with hardwoods, so the color of the furniture may change, it darkens;
if improperly processed, resinous substances can be released from the pine during heating, which reduces its safety and makes maintenance somewhat more difficult. In addition, you can stick or get dirty.

All these shortcomings can be avoided if the raw materials are of good quality, and manufacturers are conscientious. It is best to buy a bed from solid pine from well-known brands that have a quality guarantee.

When choosing a product, special attention is paid to the frame, which should be durable. It is also necessary to carefully examine how the wood is processed. Poor processing is fraught with the release of resin - this can be seen immediately. An important criterion when choosing a bed in a bedroom is its harmony with the design of the room.

Surface Treatment Options

Before making wooden beds from pine, raw materials undergo special training. Wood processing consists of several stages:

drying - drying is carried out, thanks to modern technologies, much faster than naturally. This process is divided into 3 types: contact, chamber and liquid. The preliminary stage is atmospheric drying;
demineralization - the process consists in removing the resinous substances that make up the structure of the tree. Resin solutions require solutions that include ethyl, acetone, soda, potash. The compounds dissolve the resin and facilitate subsequent processing (painting, varnishing). At the end of the processing, the wood is washed with clean water and dried again;
whitening - the procedure can be performed both independently and together with desalting. Different chemical compositions are used as bleach: bleach, oxalic acid, hydrogen peroxide or titanium. When bleaching is completed, the wood must be washed from solutions;
protection - the use of bleach and antiseptic solutions provides reliable protection of wooden products from the negative effects of the environment. In addition, chlorination reduces the ability of wood to burn. Biocides destroy the microorganisms and insects in the tree that can develop in the wood. Also, protective equipment prevents the appearance of pests in the furniture in the future. Biocidal compounds, which are actively used in the manufacture of furniture, are absolutely safe for human health, do not change the appearance of wooden surfaces. After applying biocides to the material, it is covered with protective substances and paints.

As a result of processing, the material acquires strength, reliability, safety and a beautiful appearance.
