I. Introduction to Veneer:

1. General introduction:

Veneer is understood as a thin board, made from natural wood such as Walnut, Oak, Sapeli, Ash,... with a thickness usually about 0,3 - 0,6mm.

Veneer is often processed and covered/glued onto industrial wood cores such as MDF, HDF, Plywood, Composite,... to create Veneer wood panels that are both high quality and highly aesthetic with a wood-like appearance. nature. Therefore, the special point about Veneer is that although it originates from natural wood, Veneer Wood Interior products do not belong to the Natural Wood Interior line.

The introduction of Veneer material is an optimal solution to protect forest and precious wood resources in countries because from one natural wood tree (flesh wood) many Veneer boards can be cut.

2. Popular types of Veneer:

Oak Veneer is easy to cut and shape, helping to create exquisite Interior Designs. In addition, this type of wood also contains a number of compounds that are waterproof, helping to resist rot and termites better than some other types of wood.

2.2. Walnut Veneer:

Veneer panels are thinly sliced from Walnut, often popular with light colors such as creamy white to dark light brown or chocolate brown.

Walnut veneer has good heat resistance, strength and moisture resistance. Along with that, the material is extremely aesthetic and environmentally friendly.

II. Veneer Material Production Process:

To form a complete Veneer wood panel, the production process usually includes the following 7 steps:

Step 1: Choose suitable solid wood such as Walnut, Oak, Sapeli, etc. They must be of good quality and minimize deep knots in the wood. Then basic processing such as peeling, soaking to remove resin, and drying.

Step 2: Spread the wooden block into thin slices with a thickness of about 0,6mm to 3mm.

Step 3: The thin wood slices are placed in the dryer to remove remaining moisture. Absolutely do not expose to natural sunlight because high temperatures will cause the wooden slices to warp and break easily.

Step 4: Apply glue to the surface of industrial wood such as MDF, HDF, Plywood, etc. Then apply Veneer to the surface that has just been coated with glue. The type of glue commonly used in this process is UF. With the main ingredient NH4CL, they will quickly become a solid and hard compound after being annealed and heat bonded.

Step 5: Press the Veneer onto the wooden core board. Normally, people will press these two layers together using a hot press or cold press. This process is performed automatically using a specialized press.

Step 6: After fixing the Veneer part on the wooden core, people will sand and polish to create a flat and smooth product.

Step 7: Finish the surface of the Veneer panel with PU paint or oil to create the finished product color.

Step 8: Pack, prepare for transportation, distribution and installation.
