Veneers
| • | Veneers are thin slices of natural wood. |
| | Veneering as an art has been around since the time
of the Pyramids. |
| | Up to 1,000 slices can be taken from each metre of
log. |
| | Veneer leaf is usually joined into sheets, called layons
and bonded to suitable substrates e.g. MDF, Particleboard etc. |
| | Veneers are a highly efficient way of using a valuable
forest resource. |
| | Veneered panels provide a strong, stable, easily machined,
easily finished construction material for all forms of:- Cabinetry
Joinery Paneling etc. |
| | Using veneers is a highly efficient, responsible application
of our valuable sustainably managed forest resource. |
Specifying and using veneers, whilst a relatively simple
process requires a basic understanding of; slicing methods, matching techniques,
substrate selection and finishing techniques. Detailed technical notes
on these subjects are available in the Technical
Library and Finishing Techniques sections
of this site.
