Veneer Thickness

By default, veneers are peeled 0.5mm to 0.6mm thick

Up to 1.5mm thickness is available for some species

Birch, Poplar & Pine are ideal plywood core boards for veneering

Panel Sizes

Standard plywood sizes are:

2440 x 1220    (8ft x 4ft)

3050 x 1250  (10ft x 4ft)

3050 x 1525  (10ft x 5ft)


Panels can be edge trimmed to tidy "factory edges"

 or cut to size (subject to minimum quantities)

Appearance

The slicing method significantly influences the appearance of the grain.

Each technique produces unique visual characteristics.

Crown

Quarter

Rift

Rotary

The bundles of veneer leaves are laid out and stitched together to form a lay-on sheet.

Different laying up methods are used to achieve various visual styles.

Book-match, slip-match, reverse, random

Face Grades

There are three options to choose from:

A/A grade

Decorative both sides

Both sides are on display

Shelving & open display units


A/B grade

Decorative / reduced grade

The reverse is infrequently seen

Inside cupboards & wardrobes


A/Balancer

Decorative / unseen side

The reverse will never be seen

Wall lining

Grade Description Usage Example
A/A Decorative both sides Both sides are on display Shelving / open display units
A/B Decorative / reduced grade The reverse is infrequently seen Inside cupboards / wardrobes
A/Balancer Decorative / unseen side The reverse will never be seen Wall lining

Balancer Veneer

To maintain the structural balance of the panel and prevent bowing, the reverse is also veneered. The "balancer" will be a low cost randomly selected veneer that is not intended to be seen. It will not match the face.

Fire Rated Veneered Plywood

Fire rated veneered panels to

EN13501-1 Euroclass B s1, d0

Conta-burn fire rated plywood

A high quality and durable finish available in matt or satin


Factory applied coating system


A clear absorption based fire retardant with decorative lacquer

Other Services

Edge Trimming

As standard, panels are supplied with unfinished "factory edges" which we recommend are trimmed prior to use i.e. 2440 x 1220 trimmed to 2400 x 1200.



This optional service is offered free of charge.

Cut Size & Machining

From basic square and rectangle panels to more complex components that include CNC machining, routeing and drilling.


Commercial projects only & subject to minimum quantities.

Lacquering / Varnishing

UV lacquer in matt or satin.

Commercial projects only.

Edging Strips

Real wood edge strips to match the veneer surface. We can suggest options to compliment the panel.

What is Veneered Plywood?

Veneered plywood is a plywood core panel faced on both sides with a thin layer of real wood veneer, combining the structural benefits of plywood with a far wider range of decorative finishes. Common core panels include birch, poplar and pine, chosen for their availability, quality of construction and compatibility with veneering. Decorative species are not made into plywood panels due to prohibitive cost, log availability or unsuitable structural properties. A solid oak panel, for example, would cost considerably more than an oak veneered plywood panel.


Plywood is an engineered wood in which the plies are glued together with the grain of each layer laid crosswise to the one before. This criss-cross structure gives plywood remarkable stability and strength. Where birch plywood is used as the core, the face grade will usually be BB, meaning no open knots or defects, giving a stable, solid surface to bond veneer onto.



Alternative cores include MDF, chipboard and blockboard. These offer good dimensional stability but lack the strength and multi-layered edge detail that make plywood the preferred choice among designers.

The Advantages of Veneered Plywood

Natural finish

Unlike melamine or laminates, real wood veneered panels have character and natural variation that cannot be replicated. Patterns on wood-effect panels repeat, which is especially noticeable on larger projects where many panels are seen together. Each real-wood veneer panel is genuinely one-off.


Cost-effective aesthetics

The appearance of solid wood at a lower cost, allowing furniture and surfaces in desirable species without the price of solid timber.


Stability and strength

The multi-layered construction produces a strong panel with a reduced likelihood of warping or twisting.


Ease of workability

 Easily cut, shaped and finished, with consistent core properties across panels. Practical when planning fixings, joists and weight calculations.

Wide range of veneer options

Plywood is produced from relatively few timber species, so veneering is what opens up the full range of colours and grain, letting designers and architects achieve specific preferences.


Consistency in appearance

Matched veneers create a more uniform appearance than standard plywood can achieve: an advantage on large projects where a cohesive look is required.


Environmental certification

FSC and PEFC certified panels are available, ensuring timber from responsibly managed forests.
