Veneer
Quality description
| Interior | A lot of attention is paid here to consistency of colour, structure and grain sequence. This quality is a "must" for interior design. |
|
Elegance |
This classification involves specific visible features of the wood species. Series sizes are of lesser importance. Slight discolourations and minor defects are allowed. |
|
Classic |
This board puts real wood and his beauty in the right perspective, showing the natural features of colour, structure and characteristics. This is the board with best price/quality correlation for core and interior. |
| Standard | In the standard classification the structure is more random, less evenly coloured, more knots, natural flaws are tolerated. Ideal product for core and interior work. |
Sawn veneer
Veneer thickness:
0,6 mm
1,0 mm
1,4 mm
2,0 mm
2,5 mm
Slicing methods
| Quarter cut | Produced by cutting at right angles to the growth rings and results in straight grained effect (fig.1) |
| Crown-cut |
Produced by cutting a log in half and then slicing parallel to its centre and result in crown or heart effect (fig.2) |
| Rotary cut | Tree rotates mechanically on its axis and is fully rolled out, also referred to as peeled veneer (fig.3) |
| Staylog |
Tree is first cut in half or quarter and then excentrically sliced (fig.4) |
Jointing techniques
| Bookmatched | Veneer sheets are processed in bookform (fig.1) |
| Slipmatched | The veneer sheets are processed in repetitive patterns (fig.2) |
| Solid/boarded | Veneer sheets are processed in a random pattern and sequence, resulting in a solid effect (fig.3) |
| Turned - Slipmatched |
Veneer sheets of the same structure are alternatively turned and/or slipmatched, resulting in a variation in structure in the veneer sheet (fig.4) |
