Born in nature, the beauty of our wood materials is that every single piece is unique. Find out what to expect from our various grades.
Timber veneer is a thin slice of real wood that’s pressed onto a core, like MDF, particle board or plywood. It gives the same natural timber look while using much less material and helping reduce movement or warping over time. Because it uses less solid timber, it’s also generally considered a more sustainable option. Solid wood, on the other hand, is made entirely from natural timber all the way through. Veneer is commonly used for cabinetry and large panels because it’s more stable, cost-effective, and makes better use of valuable timber resources.
Veneer is a thin slice of real timber applied to a substrate, while laminate is a decorative printed surface made from layered papers and resins pressed together under heat.
