- 3. COMPOSITION: VENEER REFERS TOTHIN 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 BETTERSOUND 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 PROPERTIES: PROPERTIES
- 5. MANUFACTURING PROCESS PREPERATION: AS SOONAS 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: ONCETHE 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: ISTYPICALLY 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 TYPES: TYPES

- 16. APPLICATION THE THREE MOSTCOMMON 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 NEEDA 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?
