Types of Wood Veneer

Wood veneer, in its essence, is a thin slice of wood cut from a log, exhibiting the wood's natural grain and beauty. These veneers come in various forms, including natural wood veneers, dyed veneers, and exotic wood veneers, each with unique characteristics and uses.

Exotic Wood Veneers bring the allure of foreign landscapes into interior spaces. Sourced from around the globe, these veneers like Anigre, Santos Mahogany, and African Mahogany, offer distinctive grain patterns and colors that elevate design projects.

EXOTIC

Common Types such as Walnut veneer, Cherry veneer, and Maple veneer remain popular for their consistent quality and beautiful grain. They provide a wide range of aesthetics, from the dark brown hues of Walnut to the lighter tones of Maple.

Species of Wood

The species of wood selected for veneer can dramatically influence the look and feel of a space. American Wood species like American Black Walnut and American Tulipwood are highly prized for their quality and aesthetic. Meanwhile, African Hardwood and wood from Central America offer exotic and diverse options, with species like Brown Oak and West African woods presenting a spectrum of colours and textures.

Sustainability

In today's world, sustainability is not just a preference but a necessity. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Veneers ensure that wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests, contributing to environmental, social, and economic benefits. Our commitment to sustainability is evident in our sourcing practices, ensuring that our veneers not only beautify spaces but also protect the planet.
