VidaSpace Bulletin

Wood Veneer is produced by slicing a log in thin layers with a blade. In contrast to solid wood, which is sawn, veneer makes optimal use of the log without any sawing loss.Cutting a log can be done in various ways. Each way produces a different pattern, and can be cut to various thicknesses. The standard thickness is 0.6 mm. Most frequently used wood types are also available as a thick veneer.

In September Maxime De Scheemaeker visited us from our valued European brand partner Decospan in Belgium. Decospan are the world-leaders in timber veneers, specialising in innovative veneer products.

Our journey to you. We started VidaSpace with a clear mission: we wanted to help designers and architects deliver their world class designs, by offering inspiring and innovative wall and flooring solutions.

We are very excited to be involved on this project and have been working with Alex and Corban from A&C Homestore and formally known as the winners of The Block NZ 2014. Over recent months we have collaborated with them at our Parnell showroom to finalise a beautiful timber floor and we will update you more on Part 2 with the selection and how the project has progressed. Stay tuned.

Making appearances in newly constructed or renovated buildings everywhere from a modern office to a retail shop and a luxury home, reclaimed wood flooring & cladding might accurately be called one of the hottest trends in building design and renovation except for one point: The popularity of this environmentally conscious flooring choice is clearly here to stay.

Wood floors extending into the kitchen from throughout the rest of the house is an excellent way to create a seamless design and is a growing trend, but unless you understand and accept the limitations of a wood floor in a kitchen environment, it is best to use a different complimenting material such as stone or tile.
