What is Natural Wood Veneer

 

 

Natural wood veneers are thin slices of natural wood generally less than 1/40” thick. These veneers are typically pressed onto or laminated to thicker core materials such as plywood, particle board and MDF to create structural panels to be used in place of thicker hardwood lumber. This is still real wood but machinery and technology allow the material to be sliced thin without waste instead of sawing it into thick boards. Just like thick boards, it can be plain sawn, quarter sawn, rift cut, or rotary cut and produce the many different grain patterns associated with each cut.

 

Advantages of Natural Wood Veneer
 

Cost Effective
There are many benefits derived from using Natural Wood Veneers instead of or in combination with traditional hardwood lumber. Using veneer is a more cost effective and efficient use of a natural resource, therefore more environmentally friendly. In comparison to a 1” thick hardwood board, Natural Wood Veneer cut at 1/40” will yield 40 times more decorative surface area than the board. Because it’s a flexible wood, the physical properties of veneer make it possible to veneer surfaces that would be difficult or even impossible with hardwood lumber. The myriad choices of different Natural Wood Veneers in varying cuts offer many more options than are usually available with hardwoods. The ability to stain and finish veneer to suit your individual taste is equally important and is no different than hardwoods. The result is a beautiful wood surface with depth, color, and unique character.

 

Versatility
