Natural/Raw
Edge rolls are produced from the required wood veneers without any additional treatment.
They are simply joined together to form a roll for use in edge-banding machines.
Once the edge is applied to the piece, the customer must follow the usual steps to finish wood veneer (sanding, applying stain, varnish, etc.).
Natural/Raw
Fixed Length
For special applications, and at the customer’s request, we can join veneer sheets of a determined length in order to foresee where the joint will show once applied to the board In this way, when applying to the board, we can predict where the seam of our roll will be.
The result is that the veneered pieces are seamless.
Fixed Length
Hot Melt Pre-Glued
A coat of thermofused glue can be applied to the backside of the edge.
This glue will melt at 180º. This product is for application with an edge banding machine that doesn’t have a glue dispenser.
Thermofused edge banding uses heat to bond the edge band to the board. We apply a 120 gr/sq m of glue on the backside of the edge band.
This quantity will ensure a perfect bonding, free of excessive glue between the board and the edge band. The softening point of our glue is 85 – 90º C (temperature at which the glue will begin to melt).
Hot Melt Pre-Glued
Soft sanding and back calibrated sanding
Soft Sanding
The upper face of the edge band can be sanded, thus avoiding the costly manual work of sanding by the customer. The quality provided by this finish it’s much higher than a manual sanding finish.
The veneer surface is flawless and marks free, to further continue the finishing process (staining, varnishing etc …) .
Back Calibrated Sanding
For special projects, jobs where high precision is required, we reduce the veneer thickness by means of back calibrated sanding, approaching the hundredth. Thus, a thick veneer rolls of the exact thickness requested by the customer is obtained.

Varnish Options
We offer all possibilities of varnish types on the surface of our veneer thick edges. Making it clear that we deliver the edge profile unvarnished. The customer must test the product, since depending on its varnishing system, he will manage to cover or not the edge profile once bonded to the panel. By using UV varnishes, we can distinguish:
Using UV coatings, we can distinguish between three types:
Sanded + Ground Lacquered
Veneer edges ready to be finished (varnished). If the product has been stored for some time in your warehouse, it is advisable to light sand the veneer edges surface, in order to open the pore enabling thus a better adherence of the varnish product. At the customer’s request, we can supply a ground lacquered with a wider or narrower wood pore.
Clear Varnish
Sheet metal already finished with varnish. Depending on the indications of our customers, we can work with open or closed pore depending on the species of wood to be treated. The gloss levels are adjustable and are measured with a gloss meter to match the gloss of the board surface to be copied (from matt 8 to gloss 80). It is always necessary to send us a sample of your varnished surface board in order for us to carry out our work better.
Varnishing with colour, pore and gloss finish according to customer’s specifications
Finished veneer with varnish, tone and pore, perfectly finished. Varnishing with colour, pore and gloss finish according to customer’s specifications
Closed pore finishes may require several coats of primer, depending on the porosity of the sheet used. The gloss levels are adjustable and are measured with a gloss meter to match the gloss of the board surface to be copied (from matt 8 to gloss 80).
Our colourists copy the tone of your finished piece and its degree of gloss. The colour of the edge productions is checked with the board to be copied in a colour comparison chamber under D65 light.
It should be remembered that this type of varnishing is surface varnishing and that the inside of the veneer (the edge) remains in its original tone. When varnishing the surface, the customer must cover the edge of the edge with varnish (or stain plus varnish).
It is essential that you send us a sample of your finished piece in order to be able to make a successful copy. Please do not hesitate to contact our technical department for further information.
> Special finish: patina effect on wood
We introduce into the grain of the wood a stain that can be of different colours, achieving a rustic wood effect. With this special finish, the grain pattern is clearly highlighted.
See black patina effect finish.
With protector
Depending on the varnishing systems of our customers, we can add a protective film on top of our edge. So that the workpiece can be varnished without staining the edge.
Varnish Options
Peel and stick
For 1 mm edges (two layers), we can apply a self-adhesive glue on the back of the edge. We protect the glue with silicone paper.
By simply removing the paper and applying manual pressure, we can adhere our wooden edging to various surfaces (chipboard, mdf, solid wood, etc.).
Peel and stick
Primer (adhesive bridge)
Sometimes the wood species used is particularly resinous or has very low porosity .
Although we scrape the back of the edge with 40-grit sandpaper, in rare cases this is not sufficient and can lead to poor adhesion with edgebanding machine glues. For these special situations, we can guarantee a correct bonding by applying a first adhesive bridge on the back of the edge.
This product is transparent, so it is not visible in the joint between the edge and the board.
Primer (adhesive bridge)
Protective film
On the outside of the veneer edge we can apply a plastic protector. This protector is low-adhesive, so it can be easily removed without leaving any residue on the edge.
It is recommended to apply the protector on the edges that we serve varnished and finished.
The plastic allows the edge to be applied to the piece and then the surface of the board to be varnished. Either by spray, curtain or roller. Once the piece is finished, the plastic film is removed from the edge. In this way, the edge remains clean.
Protective film
Hot melt laser coating
Laser pre-gluing is one of the latest technologies in the application of an edge. Its difference with respect to traditional EVA-based glue systems (hot-melt) is that the quality of the gluing joint is maximum.
The joint that joins the edge to the board is practically invisible. This makes the finished piece have a more solid appearance and appear to be made (surface and edges) from the same sheet metal and in the same process.
A layer of modified polypropylene can be applied to any wood veneer edging (on its back side), preparing it for use in both laser diode and hot air machines. The functional polypropylene layer is available in four colours: white, beige (natural), black, and brown.
Depending on the color of the wood, we use one color or another. We recommend a prior test of our product so that the client can assess the optimal result of the joint.
Minimum order: 1 roll.
Possible widths: any from 19 mm to 60 mm.

Fineline Veneers
0,5 – 0,6 mm thick fineline veneer sheets.
Fineline veneer is made of low grade wood which through a special process, is dyed by immersion, pressed to form a block and finally cut into sheets obtaining the required grain design.
We can produce with any available species on the market
See some examples
The fineline or reconstituted veneer is a thin veneer sheet obtained through a lamination process beginning at the edge of a veneer block, thus obtaining a perfectly homogeneous or straight grain. While manipulating the contour of the sheets to be pressed, various configurations and very attractive aspects are obtained.
Some or all the sheets can be dyed before joining them, so as to create astonishing aspects and colours .
Production process:
Fineline Veneers
Dyed veneers
Dyed veneers are obtained when natural veneer sheets are immersed in a staining solution, which penetrates to the core of the veneer. The entire thickness of the sheet (up to the center) is tinted. This process enables to vary the veneer’s natural colours resulting in:
We can produce edge banding with any of the available species on the market, and obtain the customer’s required tone.
0,5 – 0,6 mm thick natural veneer sheets.

Burl and veneer roots
A burl is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. Unknown as to how this deformity develops on a log, it features an irregular pattern opposed to a smooth lineal aspect. Veneer burls are both present underground or at surface level of the tree trunk. It is commonly found in the form of a rounded outgrowth on a tree trunk or branch.
We can produce with any available species on the market

Thermo-treated, smoked and aged veneers
They are natural veneers which due to their exclusivity, are mainly used for special decorations.
It is the resulting reaction of veneer to paper products, enhancing its originality, warmth and distinction, attributes that cannot be copy with printed paper.
We can distinguish the following variations of natural veneers:
Thermo-treated veneers:
It is applied a 100% natural process applied in order to modify the original wood colour, without intervention of any chemical element .
The colour is much more uniform, almost to the level of a stained product. Remarkable colour sustainability, as it is free of any type of dye which could react to UV light and therefore generate tonality changes.
Smoked (Fumé) Veneers
Aesthetically, it is a natural veneer which features a smoked look, shinny and enhanced by a 3D effect, maintaining live stripes and highlighting the aspect of each log.
The smoked is a treatment based on the reaction of the veneer natural tannins to different chemical agents which change the original colour of the veneer without loosing its natural look. During the smoking process, the chemical elements are neutralized, thus ensuring a 100% natural PH product.
Aged Veneers
This accelerated process has the purpose of featuring a natural aged aspect to the veneer when exposed outdoors. Grey tones which do not follow a set pattern are thus obtained, transferring to the final product a look of aged wood due to sun and weather exposition.
Especially suitable for a rustic touch, cracked, with knots, releasing a unique and different look. Most appropriate product for interior decoration purposes. Application examples:

Sawcut Veneer
Following latest trends, we offer the rustic look of saw cut veneer. We offer nature-saw-cut in the most common veneers on the market.
Deep transversal print embossed in such a way that some prints stand out while others are embedded. Two different types of prints can be visualized, depending on the inclination:
Standard thickness is 0,7 mm, but superior thicknesses can be produced. The visual effect is eye catching and enables a wide range of design applications.
Sawcut Veneer
Printed veneer
For special edge and moulding applications, a grain design can be printed over a different veneer.
Using more economical species as a base, we can print the natural pattern or design of highly valued veneers with a matching tone. Just imagine a low cost veneer such as okume, over which we will print the grain and tone of, let us say, Rosewood Rio or Makassar Ebony. As the base of the product is authentic veneer, the touch and pore of the product will transfer the sensation of the natural pattern.
Thanks to our printing technique we can obtain quarter cut patterns which prove to be difficult to find in extra wide formats (for example, 20 cms).
