Hardwood
veneer
Veneer is a thin layer of wood of uniform thickness produced by peeling or slicing carefully selected logs. The appearance of the wood pattern will differ from the various methods available to slice the wood through the growth rings of the tree.
Advantages
- Ecological
Wood veneer is a natural product made from a renewable resource.
- Strong
When wood veneer is properly assembled on a substrate, it actually increases the strength of the product.
- Stable
When properly conditioned, veneer is more stable than lumber to the stresses of temperature and moisture extremes.
- Economical
Since the wood is sliced in thin layers of wood, a lot more surface is generated for the same tree than lumber. Less waste!
- Unique
Since each sheet of veneer is an original, no two sheets are exactly alike.
- Versatile
Easy to work with, pliable for curved surfaces, it is practical for DIY projects.
- Durable
Less prone to problems like warping, splitting or seasonal movement.
