Veneer
What is veneer?
Wood veneer refers to thin slices of wood bonded onto core panels, known as substrates, resulting in flat sheets. These sheets serve as foundational materials for manufacturing doors, cabinets, wall panels, joinery, and furniture pieces. Utilising timber veneer represents an efficient use of natural resources, as it involves shaving wood from tree trunks. This process ensures that a single log can yield considerable lengths of timber panels. Depending on the slicing angle of the trunk, various grain patterns and features emerge, classified as crown, quarter, or rotary cuts. Wood veneer sheets are compatible with most standard finishing lacquers and stains used for wood surfaces.
Stitching options
Our Natural Veneer range primarily offers book-matched layons, with select options for slip-matched and mix-matched patterns.
Book matched
Also referred to as paired pattern stitching, this technique produces a symmetrical motif while maintaining veneer continuity.
Slip matched
Also called in-row pattern stitching, the key characteristic of this stitching style is the recurring pattern.
Mix matched
Also known as random pattern stitching, this technique involves combining veneer sheets from various trunks, each with different widths and grain shapes, resulting in a distinctive appearance.
Brushing
By using specialised machinery to create texture on the surface of the veneer, this process typically entails running the veneer through a brushing machine equipped with abrasive brushes that remove softer wood fibers, leaving behind a textured surface. The brushing action enhances the natural grain of the wood, creating a distinctive and tactile finish. Brushing is often used to add depth and character to veneer wood, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and providing a unique visual and tactile experience.
How veneer is cut
The manner in which veneer is cut from the tree significantly influences the final appearance of the veneer panel. Three cutting options are available for consideration.
Crown cut
Flat sliced or crown cut through the heart of the log.
Quarter cut
Straight-grained, cut at rightangles to the growth rings.
Rotary cut
The log is rotated around its axisand peeled off like a carpet roll.
OEM
Decorpanel offers a wide array of substrate options for crafting your custom pressed panels. Utilising our automated lamination facilities, we seamlessly press face materials from our Decorgrain™ timber veneers, Decorluxe™ ASA series, or Decorplus™ HPL series onto your selected substrates. These substrates come in various thicknesses and sizes, ensuring they meet your specific requirements with precision and flexibility.

Panel Sanding
This service adds significant value to your project. Our automated sanding facility is capable of thinning wooden surfaces to the desired thickness with precision and efficiency. With the capacity to handle panel sizes up to 3100 x 1300mm, our facility ensures speedy removal of undesired material while providing consistent, uniform thicknesses. This makes it ideal for applications such as wall panels.
Oversized Panels
Oversized panels are a sought-after solution for projects aiming to minimize visible joints and achieve expansive, seamless surfaces. Particularly in high-ceiling environments, oversized side panels enhance visual aesthetics by eliminating unnecessary joining lines. This benefit extends to shop fitters facing similar challenges. Our oversized panels, available in thicknesses of 18mm or greater, cater to various applications, including Decorgrain™ veneer panels, Decorluxe™ ASA panels, and Decorplus™ HPL panels.
