3. COMPOSITION: VENEER REFERS TO THIN SLICES OF WOOD AND
SOMETIMES BARK, USUALLY THINNER THAN 3 MM (1/8 INCH), THAT
TYPICALLY ARE GLUED ONTO CORE PANELS (TYPICALLY, WOOD,
PARTICLE BOARD OR MEDIUM-DENSITY FIBERBOARD) TO PRODUCE
FLAT PANELS SUCH AS DOORS, TOPS AND PANELS FOR CABINETS,
PARQUET FLOORS
COMPOSITION &
PROPERTIES

4. IT HAS BETTER SOUND INSULATION.
IT HAS BETTER COLOR PERMANENCE.
IT INCREASES STRENGTH OF WOOD PRODUCTS AND MAKE IT
MORE DURABLE.
IT CAN NOT RESIST WATER BECAUSE IT MAY DAMAGE POLISH
AND WOOD SURFACE
IT IS RESISTANT TO CLIPPING, FRAGMENTATION AND
WRAPPINGWOOD VENEER SURFACE
CAN BE CUSTOMIZED BY PAINTING AND POLISHING
IT CAN BE RECYCLED AS IT IS A NATURAL MATERIAL
SPECIAL CARE HAS TO TAKE WHILE CLEANING THE SURFACE TO
PREVENT DAMAGE

5. MANUFACTURING
PROCESS
PREPERATION: AS SOON AS THE LOGS ARRIVE AT THE
MANUFACTURING UNIT, THEY ARE CLASSIFIED BY SPECIES AND
STORED IN THE LOG YARD.FURTHER, THEY ARE KEPT UNDER
OPTIMAL HUMIDITY CONDITIONS BY SOAKING THEM IN PONDS OF
WATER OR SPRAYING THEM WITH WATER, AS THE NEEDS
DICTATE.
1.
2. DEBARKING: THE BARK IS THEN PEELED OFF WHILE ENSURING
THAT EVENNESS IS MAINTAINED. AT THIS STAGE, GREAT CARE IS
TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE LOGS DO NOT GET DAMAGED.
3. COOKING: IN ORDER TO ENSURE UNIFORM SLICING, THE LOGS
ARE THEN KEPT COMPLETELY SUBMERGED IN STEAMERS AT
TEMPERATURES OF 80 - 100℃ FOR A PERIOD OF 18 TO 72 HOURS.
TO ACHIEVE THE MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY, LOGS ARE TO BE CUT
WITHIN AN HOUR OF THE COMPLETION OF COOKING.

6. MANUFACTURING
PROCESS
4. SLICING/PEELING: ONCE THE PRESSURE AND KNIFE BAR SETTINGS
ARE SET TO AN ACCURACY OF 0.1 MM, SO AS TO ENSURE SLICING
THAT’S PERFECT, ONE OF TWO TYPES OF VENEER SLICING MACHINES -
A HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL SLICING MACHINE OR A PEELING MACHINE -
ARE SET IN MOTION TO OBTAIN THIN WOOD VENEER SHEETS FROM THE
LOG, EVEN AS A HEATING SYSTEM SOAKS UP ANY MOISTURE THAT IS
RELEASED DURING THE PROCESS. THERE ARE DIFFERENT METHODS OF
SLICING THAT CAN BE UNDERTAKEN, SUCH AS FLAT SLICING, QUARTER
SLICING, OR ROTARY CUT, TO OBTAIN DIFFERENT TYPES OF VENEERS
5. DRYING:HERE, THE VENEERS WHICH ARE STILL MOIST ARE DRIED IN A
JET DRIER WHICH ALSO HAS THE EFFECT OF FLATTENING THEM.
6. QUALITY CHECK: HERE, AN EXPERT CAREFULLY ASSESSES THE
VENEERS FOR QUALITY ACCORDING TO STRICT QUALITY
STANDARDS.CLIPPING

7. MANUFACTURING
PROCESS
7. SPLICING: HERE, VENEER MATCHING IS UNDERTAKEN USING THE
APPLICATION OF HEAT AND PRESSURE TO ENSURE A CONSISTENT
MATCH IS OBTAINED.
8. PACKING: FINALLY, THE WOOD VENEERS ARE MEASURED, LABELLED
WITH INDICATIONS OF LENGTH, WIDTH, ETC., PACKED WITH PROTECTIVE
POLYETHYLENE AND READIED TO BE TRANSPORTED.

9. TYPES
ASH VENEER.: COLOR- ASH VENEER IS TYPICALLY
TAN, PALE CREAMY TO SLIGHTLY YELLOWISH IN
COLOR. THE RECONSTITUTED VERSION IS A DYED TO
LOOK LIKE BLACKENED ASH WOOD. ASH IS A DENSE
HARDWOOD THAT IS TOUGH, STRONG, AND ELASTIC
WITH A MODERATELY COARSE TO SMOOTH TEXTURE
AND POROUS GRAIN.
BAMBOO VENEER. : AMBOO VENEER COMES IN
CARBONIZED, TYPICALLY A CARAMEL BROWN TO A
DARKER COFFEE BROWN COLOR, AND NATURAL,
TYPICALLY A PALE YELLOW TO A LIGHT OLIVE CREAM
COLOR. THIS ECO-FRIENDLY WOOD IS A VERY
COMMON AND EXTREMELY FAST GROWING TYPE OF
GRASS THAT IS VERY STRONG AND FLEXIBLE.
TYPES:

10. BIRCH VENEER: IS TYPICALLY A PALE CREAM TO A
PINK TINGED LIGHT YELLOW WOOD THAT AGES TO A
DEEP PALE GOLD COLOR. BIRCH IS A HARDWOOD OF
MEDIUM DENSITY, EASY TO WORK WITH AND
STRONG.
CHERRY VENEER: TYPICALLY A WARM PINKISH TO
RED TONED WOOD THAT AGES TO A NICE REDDISH
BROWN COLOR.
TEAK VENEEER: TYPICALLY A GOLDEN HONEY
BROWN TO A DEEP BROWN COLOR THAT DARKENS
WITH AGE. TEAK IS A DENSE AND OILY HARDWOOD
IT IS BEST FINISHED WITH A WIPE ON OIL. IT IS
HEAVY, WITH A UNIFORM COARSE TEXTURE AND
MEDIUM POROUS GRAIN

16. APPLICATION
THE THREE MOST COMMON APPLICATIONS OF WOOD VENEERS ARE:
1.COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT
APPLICATIONS – THIS INCLUDES INTERIOR
ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTS FOR BUILDINGS SUCH AS HOTELS, OFFICE LOBBIES,
RECEPTION AREAS, BOARD ROOMS, AND ELEVATORS WHERE WALL PANELING IS
HEAVILY USED. CRUISE SHIP INTERIORS ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS CATEGORY.
2.CASEWORK –
WOOD VENEERS ARE USED AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO SOLID WOOD TO REDUCE
COSTS AND CARBON FOOTPRINT. IT IS A GOOD WAY OF MAXIMIZING NATURAL
RESOURCES IN A SUSTAINABLE MANNER.
3.AS AN AESTHETIC
COVER FOR MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD (MDF) OR INDUSTRY-GRADE
PARTICLEBOARD –AS A COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO SOLID WOOD, WOOD
VENEERS ARE USED TO COVER MDF OR INDUSTRIAL GRADE PARTICLEBOARD TO
CREATE THE ILLUSION OF SOLID WOOD AND MAKE THE FINAL PRODUCT MORE
ROBUST.

17. APPLICATION
WHEN YOU NEED A COST EFFECTIVE AND MORE STABLE OPTION – APPLYING
WOOD VENEERS CAN BE THE BEST OPTION IF YOU WANT TO REDUCE THE
COST WHILE PROVIDING SIMILAR AESTHETIC VALUE. OF COURSE, YOUR
CLIENT NEEDS TO AGREE THAT VENEERS ARE A BETTER OPTION THAN SOLID
WOOD, PARTICULARLY FOR DECORATIVE PROJECTS LIKE WALL PANELING.
WHEN WEIGHT IS AN ISSUE, FOR EXAMPLE IN A BOAT OR YACHT INTERIOR –
WHEN WORKING ON THE INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE OF A SHIP OR YACHT,
USING WOOD VENEERS RATHER THAN SOLID WOOD IS IDEAL. IT IS NOT JUST
A MATTER OF COST-EFFECTIVENESS, BUT USING VENEERS HELPS TO REDUCE
THE WEIGHT OF THE BOAT.
WHEN IS IT BEST TO USE WOOD VENEER RATHER THAN SOLID WOOD IN THESE
THREE APPLICATIONS?
