Soft Sanding

Soft Sanding

The upper face of the veneer sheet can be sanded, thus avoiding the costly manual work of sanding by the customer.

If the product is sanded, we recommend to apply a fleece back, to ensure stability and reduce cracking and breaking while edge banding.

Our maximum sanded widht is 50cm.

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 …).

Technical details

Calibrated Sanding

For special projects, we reduce the veneer thickness by means of calibrated sanding, providing higher flexibility to the veneer, and preventing it from cracking when small diameters in curves are a must.

Our maximum sanded widht is 50cm.
Upon customer’s request, thickness can be reduced to a minimum of 30/100mm (0,30mm).

If the veneer is to be calibrated sanded, a fleece back must be applied to its underside.

We recommend 50 grams fleece.
The veneer surface is flawless and marks free, to further continue the finishing process (staining, varnishing etc…)

Technical details

Fleece is a backer that is applied to wood veneer in a lineal process to produce continuous rolls for many different purposes.

The different fleece types used are bonded to the veneer with two possible types of glue:

PVA (white glue). With different grades of resistance to humidity (D3, D4).

PUR (polyurethane). For maximum resistance to humidity.

Two goals are achieved with the fleece:

•  Added consistency to the veneer, thus avoiding splintering and consequent production interruption.
• Added flexibility, a must for shaped (compound) edges.

We have at your disposal several fleece types according to their grammage. A thicker fleece provides higher consistency and flexibility to the veneer.

The more we reduce the thickness of the veneer, more flexibility is conferred to it.

50 g fleece

90 g fleece, ref. V-300

Following the actual surfaces trends, we can apply different embossing to our veneer edges, enhancing the visual experience of real wood with natural tactile effects.
We have created embossings that feel and look like raw and finished woods. Our embossings can be strong and aggressive, transversal or with saw cut marks, conferring perfection not only in optics but also in haptics to our veneer sheets.

0,5 – 0,6 mm thick natural veneer sheets.

We can produce with any available species on the market.

Veneer process:

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 edge banding with any of the available species on the market.

See some examples

The fineline or reconstituted veneer is a thin veneer sheet obtained through 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:

Dyed veneers are obtained when natural veneer sheets are immersed in a staining solution, which penetrates to the core of the veneer.

This process enables to vary the veneer’s natural colours resulting in:

• New tones.
• Deep colour, providing a different aspect to the veneer sheet.
• Ensures a higher colour homogeneity between bundles of sheets.
• More sanding margin without loss of colour.

We can produce edge banding with any of the available species on the market, and obtain the customer’s required tone.

We can produce cross grain veneer with any veneer specie available. Cross-grain veneer refers to a sheet of veneer with the grain running width wise rather than lengthwise to give a different look.

This product provides a very innovative visual aspect of compact wood in mouldings and furniture edges.

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 edge banding with any of the available species on the market.

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:

• 100% natural process applied in order to modify the original wood colour, without intervention of any chemical element.
• Colour much more uniform, almost to the level of a stained product.
• Colour sustainability, as it is free of any type of dye which could react to UV light and therefore generate tonality changes.

Smoked (Fumé) Veneer

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:

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 (slanted or straight saw cut effect).

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.

Natural veneer cross-cut in 0,7 mm foils.

Of rounded aspect, end grain is obtained by cross-cutting the tree trunk. Thus the annual rings are revealed.

Standard thickness is 0,7 mm, but other thicknesses can be produced.

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).

For personalized projects, working with the customer’s veneer is an option we offer.

In projects where the surface and the edge need to be from the same source, we can manufacture the product with our customer’s material.
