Veneer veneer veneer! It's the trending wood out there now. But wait a minute, you know what it is - apart from the "Beauty Board" image.

Let's get to know more about veneer

In woodworking, veneer refers to thin slices of wood and sometimes bark, usually thinner than 3 mm, that typically are glued onto core panels to produce flat panels such as doors, tops and panels for cabinets, parquet floors, and parts of furniture. They are also used in marquetry. So says Wikipedia! Awkward! Frankly, that's hard to understand. Simply speaking, a veneer is a thin piece of hardwood that is placed over a piece of manufactured wood. It may be attached using an adhesive, nails or screws. Veneers are frequently used on cabinets, furniture and floors. The frame and shelves of the units are made of particleboard, MDF or plywood, but the viewable surfaces are covered with veneers. Yes the complicated beautiful face is veneer, folks! Veneers are available in a variety of grains and finishes, and they are typically much more consistent in appearance than most hardwood products. They are cost-effective, eco-friendly, unique in each work and has more designing potential. Exotic wood veneers are growing in popularity with interior designers. Uff! That's too much verbal praise. Let's get to the point. How to choose the right veneer :

Tips to choose the veneer

Tree: You need to consider the source/ land of origin of the tree which should be from responsible forest sources (FSC® certified). So one should definitely look at which species the veneer is made of as the quality is highly dependent on species and origin. Type: Before purchase, one should be aware of the grade of veneer; which means influence the quality of veneer to a parge extend in terms of natural defects like knots, minerals streaks, decay, cracks, etc. Again one needs to distinguish between Natural Veneers and Reconstituted Veneers. Thickness: The thickness of both the face veneers and the back plywood ensures the durability of the product. Greater the thickness, the great the durability. Texture: The value additions in terms of Distressed, Oxidization, Sandblast, HDBX, UV Haintpainted etc. create a lasting visual impression on the outcome. Tone: Tone depends on the type of species and the way wood logs are sawn. The original species lends a unique tone and character to the veneers rather than look-alike/cheaper species. Treatment: Wood is a natural resource that should be fully treated before and after manufacturing the veneer. For durability, better bondage, concentrated strength, borer or termite-proof, emission reduction, and so on factors, the wood is to be chemically yet scientifically treated. The buyer must be enlightened about the treatment process and quality. Plus Brand credibility and safety ( emission rate )
