The relevance of the production of facades of MDF is substantiated by regular demand for this product. Despite the high price compared with the materials from the chipboard, the furniture facades of the average density are released less toxic substances and have greater durability, which makes them so popular in the market of high-quality construction goods. In Russia, the need for MDF is more than 200,000 cubic meters per year.

The facades of the MDF are the construction material of the middle density for finishing the furniture and panels, which is manufactured by cutting wood-fiber plates, milling and filming or painting.

From English MDF - Medium Density Fiberboard - Middle Density Fibrous Plate.

This material appeared as a result of the development of a dry method of production of the Fiberboard and the improvement of the technologies used for this. The middle-density fibrous plates have a developed surface of wood fibers and a reduced pressing cycle. Due to the participation of binders in intervolonic interaction of MDF, high strength is characterized. Facades from MDF, which are manufactured by cutting fibrous plates, milling and film or paint, are widely used for the production of furniture, flooring, wall panels in the premises.

Although the materials from chipboard are significantly cheaper than the MDF, however, the latter use higher demand at the expense of certain advantages. First of all, the medium-density fibrous plates are moisture-resistant, retain the form at temperature fluctuations and resistant to mechanical effects. They are an environmentally friendly material. Thanks to these qualities, MDF is ideal for making furniture (first of all, kitchen). It is common that the MDF plates on moisture resistance and their mechanical characteristics even exceed a natural tree. In addition, in contrast to the last material, they are resistant to various fungi and microorganisms, which means that safe and hygienic. The cost of this material is important. Products from MDF are 60-70% cheaper than those similar to characteristics of solid wood products and almost two times cheaper than solid lumber. The MDF plates can be processed in almost any way and lined with MDF laminate, natural or synthetic veneer, a papermap film, PVC film. For all these reasons, they became the most common and demanded facade material.

Types of MDF plates differ in different bases: on the use (furniture, floor coverings, interior doors, suspended ceilings, wall panels, etc.), by type of coating (painting, PVC film, paper gramcreen, veneer, etc.), presence inserts (lattices, glass, etc.), in form (flat, bent, etc.).

So, for the organization of own production of facades MDF, a room is required of about 100 square meters. meters. It must be clean (with the ventilation system) and heated (the temperature in it should not be descended below 15 degrees Celsius). As a raw material for the manufacture of facades, MDF slabs, facing material (PVC film obtained the greatest distribution) and the glue composition.

The process of production of facades from MDF consists of several key steps. First, the stove for the facade is reopted using a format-cutting machine. Billets should be highly accurate, not to have defects (chipping, cracks, etc.). At the next stage, the specified pattern and the volumetric profile, the creation of which occurs on the milling table using a milling machine is applied to the plane and ends of the blanks for the furniture facade. Modern equipment allows you to make profiles of almost any complexity. Then grinding parts using a vibratory grinding machine. Production waste is removed by a vacuum cleaner, and to blow the facades after grinding and before applying the compressor is used. Before lining the surface of the facade must be carefully prepared and cleaned.

There are several of the most common cladding technologies in the production of furniture facades. Lamination is the process of cladding MDF paper-resin films under the action of temperature and pressure. The porous surface of the paper contains a melamine resin, which is polymerized and penetrates into the MDF structure on the capillary level, resulting in a homogeneous surface layer, which has strength, waterproof and resistance to high temperatures. Kashing is called the process of facing MDF with fully cured paper-resin films with preliminary application on the base of the adhesive composition. In this case, the film is glued to the MDF, which simplifies the process of cladding (compared to example, with lamination). In the manufacture of facades, which should have the highest protective and wear properties, the post-deformation technology is used, which is the process of lining chipboard layered laminates or high-pressure plastics.

Also, the facades of MDF are covered with plastic, film or enamel, phane with natural veneer.

Most often, PVC film is used for facing facades, as it is simpler and allows you to significantly reduce the cost of the finished product. In this case, glue is also applied to the surface of the plate - in two layers when exposed to high temperatures (up to 80 degrees Celsius), and the material is allowed to dry for 30 minutes. Then the PVC film is applied to it, which is preheated. After cladding, the facade is sent under the press, and then excess is removed from it.

For the organization of production of facades MDF requires special equipment. It belongs to it: a format-cutting machine (depending on the model, its price can be 200-250 thousand rubles), a copy-milling table (30 thousand rubles), a milling machine (350 thousand rubles), a vibration grinder (1 , 5-2 thousand rubles), industrial vacuum cleaner (10 thousand rubles), piston compressor (5-7 thousand rubles), paintopult (5 thousand rubles), vacuum press (150-170 thousand rubles). The performance of this equipment is managed with which one specialist can be about 20-25 square meters. meters for shifts and about 100 square meters. meters of facades per week. Monthly generation can be 400-450 square meters. meters. With an increase in the number of manufacturing workers, up to three people increases significantly and performance. Since the process of production of facades MDF involves human participation, the quality of finished products directly depends on both the quality of the materials used for its production and the qualification of the employee.

The number of facade industries in our country increases every year. But most of them cannot boast quality products, as they use the cheapest MDF plates and base films for the manufacture of facades. In this case, the trends in this market indicate that buyers prefer high-quality products and ready to pay more for it. Therefore, experts advise to make a bet on the optimal value for money and do not strive to reduce the cost of production by the use of low-quality raw materials.

The total costs of opening the production of facades MDF are about 1.5 million rubles. This amount includes the acquisition of the main and additional equipment, its delivery and installation (in the amount of about 1 million rubles), rent and preparing the premises of production, the purchase of a batch of raw materials for the month of work (200 thousand rubles), business registration, other current expenses .

The market for such products is quite wide. This includes various construction and repair companies, furniture stores and even individuals who often order the facades of MDF directly from the manufacturer. Wholesale cost of one square facade of MDF is about 1000 rubles. The profitability of such production reaches 28%. The return on the project is estimated at 6-8 months.

From the MDF material, it is significant for the furniture manufacturers the task in the face of tough competition. Furniture structures from MDF are several times higher than templates and ready-made details from LDSP, wood or plastic.

Main material in this process:

• Plate MDF.
• PVC material of any color and with an additional ornament for further vacuum pressing.
• Caching paper can be used to fit the rear surface.

Stages of work

At any production, the process of work and the manufacture of MDF facades (Krasnodar, Moscow, Novosibirsk and other cities) is carried out on special machines using high-quality equipment. To speed up the process, it is recommended to buy a laser for cutting plywood from the manufacturer. This will significantly save the cost of equipment and will provide the workshop with high-precision machines.
Stages of work are identical in all enterprises with the exception of the material itself and the selected product design. On CNC machines, time on the production of the facade party is 10 times less than in the manufacture of the same amount on standard units.

1. Cutting plates MDF is carried out according to the specified dimensions without letters. This significantly saves material consumption.
2. A drawing is selected from finished blanks or formed in any graphic editor.
3. Milling and time of work depends on the complexity of the ornament. For cutting on kitchen facades on the table, you can simultaneously place several models, which will speed up the process. The cutting mode is set up and after installing the cutter, you can proceed to the MDF milling plate.

After that, the process of preparing the plate to the facing works of PVC film begins. For this:

• Grinding the finished part for 5 to 30 minutes is carried out, which affects the complexity of the design.
• Glue is applied to the workpiece and complete drying is expected. It is not used for a solution of glue, but the melt, which should be remembered.
• After a complete burnt of the product, it is placed on the tabletop of the vacuum press, on the substrate from MDF. Pressing time is about 5 minutes.
• Next is given to the working state of the machine unit and the heating of the film and vacuuming is being heated, which also will last about 5 minutes.
• The last stage is the removal of the product from the working surface of the table and trim film.

Plate requires compliance with a certain technology!
Thus, the entire manufacturing process will not take much time, and when working skills you can create unique designs and develop a business.

Production of furniture facades - This is a type of business that combines engineering accuracy and designer approach. Furniture modules are high demand in the consumer market. And this is definitely attracting the attention of entrepreneurs and investors.

In this article we will introduce you to the main principles of the organization of facade production.

2 types of furniture facades - what to produce?

High quality and can decorate the room and become his highlight. A modern approach to space planning makes furniture facades with a necessary element of the interior.

The facades of two species are wide popularity:

• made of natural wood;
• made from MDF.

Consider each type in more detail.

1. Facades of wood.

The facades made of natural wood are more expensive, but customers are ready to pay more for quality, resistance and durability.

From the point of view of production, such furniture requires more attention: wood processing, painting and polishing is carried out manually. The main rocks of the trees for production are the ash, oak, nut, pine and alder. It is the tree of wood, from which the facade is produced, determines the properties of finished products.

For example, the most resistant to mechanical damage is furniture made of oak. Therefore, this breed of wood is considered to be the highest quality and, accordingly, dear.

Pine furniture has a pleasant aroma, but its main drawback is excessive softness. This minus is also characterized by olhov furniture facades. They are more prone to the appearance of scratches on the surface, therefore require delicate circulation.

The most expensive option is to furniture from walnut wood. At the same time, the older the tree, the higher its price. Unlike oak, the nut is easily amenable to manufacturing manipulations, such as processing and painting. This means that the consumer has a greater selection of color gamut and texture design.

Advantages and disadvantages of facades made of natural wood:

Benefits	disadvantages
Environmental safety of materials: Natural tree does not emit harmful substances even when exposed to temperature, which is particularly important in the kitchen.	Limited color / textured furniture facade palette.
Long service life of the furniture facade with proper operation and care.	Requires special care.
Resistance to temperature and mechanical influences.	It is damaged when processing aggressive detergents.
The ability to repair and restoration.	High price.
Exquisite and expensive kind of furniture.	Absorbs smells.

2. Facades from MDF.

Short reference introduction, for those who have not previously met the term "MDF".

MDF is a material that consists of compressed small sawdust. From the chipboard, the MDF plate is characterized by a smaller size of the shavings. Sawdles are combined with the help of safe adhesive substances: lignin and paraffin (as opposed to chipboard, in which formaldehyde resins harmful for health).

Furniture facades from MDF were enormous thanks to their environmental friendliness - both in European countries and in Russia. They can be painted paint covered with film, lined with plastic or veneer.

Consider each type, taking into account its advantages and disadvantages:

Type of facade	Features	Benefits	disadvantages
Painted MDF	It is plates painted by several layers of furniture enamel and varnished. Thanks to painting, they get a rich and bright shade. Enamel creates the effect of mattness or glossy glitter. Painting MDF consists of several stages: At first, the surface of the plates is covered with an insulator. Next - apply soil, paint and lacquer. So that the plates have a glossy shine, they are additionally grinding and polished after varnishing.	Pleasant appearance of the furniture facade. Large selection of colors palette. The possibility of restoration.	The price is higher than that of the film cover. Furniture loses color when exposed to direct sunlight. Paint may be damaged when using abrasive or alkaline detergents.
Film MDF.	Plates instead of staining are tightened with PVC (polyvinyl chloride) film. The film can be a glossy, matte, with a pattern and so on.	The price for furniture facades with a film is lower than on painted. High resistance to moisture, solar rays, mechanical damage. Easy to care.	The film can be flawed under the action of high temperatures. Easily scratched.
MDF lined with plastic	Plastic has a pleasant and modern appearance, besides, allows you to imitate natural textures, such as a tree, marble or metal. The surface of the plastic can be both glossy and matte.	Modern appearance. Large selection of colors and textures. Resistance to moisture, sunlight, mechanical effects. Easy to care and clean from contamination.	On glossy surfaces can remain stains. High price.
MDF lined with veneer	Veneer is wood sheets with a thickness of 0.1 to 10 mm, obtained from wood bars. Furniture facades covered with natural veneer look most close to the facades of the tree. Thanks to the chemical and temperature processing, the veneer acquires high strength and moisture resistance.	The view of the dear facade of the tree with less costs. Sustainable mechanical effects.	The price is higher than on film and plastic facades. Over time, the veneer can be flawed from the stove. Under the action of moisture and direct sunlight loses its original appearance.

Facades can be classic or radius (have curved forms). Radius buildings are usually produced under an individual order taking into account the wishes of the buyer.

How do painted facades do? Necessary equipment.

The main stages of the organization of the production of furniture facades

The first question that occurs in people who want to start - "Where to start?".

To start your business, you will need a lot of business: a detailed plan for the development of the enterprise, registration of activities, investor search, selection of premises, hiring staff and much more.

The basis of the launch of your own business is a carefully thought out business plan. This document will allow you to competently organize expenses, attract investors or get a bank loan.

1. The structure of the business plan of the enterprise

1.	Title list: Company name, field of activity, planning period.
2.	Business plan content.
3.	Introduction
4.	Summary: Project Name, Organizational form, number of employees, contact details of the project manager.
5.	Setting goals.
6.	Business Characteristics: DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES / PRODUCTS, Presentation of the range, functional purpose of each product, examples of use, plans for future development.
7.	Evaluation of the market sales market.
8.	Assessment of activities and sales of competitors.
9.	Production plan: The main stages, raw materials and equipment requirements.
10.	Employees: a list of necessary personnel, working conditions, payment, structure and composition of divisions, personnel training.
11.	Organizational plan: organizational and legal form of the enterprise, the scheme of the organizational structure of the enterprise.
12.	Legal plan.
13.	Financial Plan: Cost, variables and constant costs, profitability of business, payback period.
14.	Risk assessment and insurance.
15.	Financing strategy.

To compile a business plan, you need to have special knowledge and skills, so this process must be entrusted with a professional.

Prices for business plan depends on your business scale. On average, the initial cost of the plan for small businesses is 18,000-20,000 rubles, for medium-sized businesses - from 50,000 rubles, for large - from 100,000 rubles.

Do not forget that the preparation of the plan is better to entrust the companies that work on the market for a long time and have positive experience in the implementation of projects. Cheap business plans without warranty are money thrown into the wind.

2. Registration of activities

Official to issue their activities is obliged to every entrepreneur, otherwise it is coming to problems with the law.

Two common forms of introduction of small and medium-sized businesses: IP (individual entrepreneur) or LLC (limited liability company).

What they differ, look in the table:

Criteria comparison	IP	Ltd
Procedure for creating	Simple: payment of state duty, submission of the application.	More difficult: payment of the state duty, the submission of a notarized statement, the protocol of the meeting of participants of the LLC / the solution of the sole participant.
Constituent documents	No missing.	Charter (a complex legal document requiring special knowledge for compiling).
Constituent documents	Sole.	If the LLC consists of more than one participant, then all decisions on the main activities of activity are accepted only at the general meeting of participants.
Print	Not necessarily.	Obligatory.
Statutory capital	Absent.	At least 10,000 rubles (money or property).
Use profits	At your own discretion at any time.	Only after the distribution arrived by the general meeting of participants.
A responsibility	Full property responsibility (even when liquidating an enterprise). For large debts, bankruptcy can become the only way out.	Responsibility is limited to the size of your share in the authorized capital.
Ability to attract investment	Credit agreements, facilities of a simple partnership, promissory bill.	Credit agreements, facilities of simple partnership, bills, bonds, sale of part of the share in the authorized capital.
The possibility of joint business	Combining several IPs occurs only on the basis of a simple partnership agreement or a joint activity agreement.	One LLC may include up to 50 participants.
Authority	Low. Abbreviation "LLC" enjoys big confidence than "IP".	High.
The ability to expand business	Only by increasing sales.	It is possible to open new branches, subsidiaries, mergers with other companies.
Possibility of selling business	Only by selling a trademark or technology. If there are several trademarks, then re-registration must be carried out on each of them.	In any way. For example, in total, with the help of one notarial transaction, it is possible to sell a share in the authorized capital of the Company to which several trademarks belong.
Closing Procedure (Liquidation) of Business	Very simple: payment of state duty, submitting an application and certificates from the Pension Fund. The process takes from 5 working days.	Very difficult. Cars minimum 4-6 months.
Documents required for registration	The form of P21001 is a statement in which an individual reports the information necessary for registration (full name, address, passport details, OKVED codes). Photocopy of all pages of passport. Receipt confirming the payment of state duty in the amount of 800 rubles.	Passports and identification numbers of all co-founders. Application for registration of LLC (form P11001). The solution of the sole founder (if the founder is one). Minutes of the meeting of founders (if 2 or more founders). Agreement on the establishment of society (if 2 or more founders). Charter LLC. Receipt of payment of state duty (4 000 rubles). Warranty letter on the provision of legal address. The consent of the owner, the certificate of ownership and the consent of residents (some documents may not require) - when registering at home address.

For registration of entrepreneurship in the application, you must specify the OKVED codes. If you first meet with this term, then it should be explained that these are short digital designations of the activities of the future enterprise.

A person interested in opening a business facade business production should pay special attention to 31st point section with.

Small exposure from the 31st OKVED Point:

With a complete list of current OKVED codes, you can find on the site: https://okvd-2.ru

Production of various profiles is governed by GOST standards.

The manufacture of facades for furniture regulate the following GOSTS:

• GOST 16371-93 ( https://vsegost.com/catalog/17/1723.shtml)
• GOST 6449.1-82 ( https://vsegost.com/catalog/21/21907.Shtml.)
• GOST 6449.5-82 ( https://vsegost.com/catalog/29/29950.shtml.)

3. Premises for the production of facades

The room, first of all, must comply with the needs of production, that is, to have transport links, a network of supplying electricity and water. For the production of small scales, there is enough room with an area of \u200b\u200b100-140 sq.m.

The most whimsical part of the production of facades for furniture is the press shop. It should not be excessive dust, the temperature must be at least 15 degrees Celsius.

The approximate cost of renting a workshop for the production of facades (based on the Internet resource "Cyan", prices are indicated for September 2018):
