[Smoked Oak] Popular Science 💡
Smoking is a veneer processing technology. Through special high-temperature treatment, a thin carbonized layer is formed on the surface, and the change in the performance of the veneer is similar to the effect of paint.
Not only is the texture retro and beautiful, but it also has the advantages of insect resistance, moisture resistance, anti-corrosion, and good maintenance. Compared with natural veneer, it is less likely to crack and discolor, and the longer it is used, the more charming it is.
The veneers that are smoked on the market are mainly oak and eucalyptus. These two types are more suitable for this high-strength process than other veneers because of their high hardness and good toughness.
The texture of oak is rough and atmospheric, and the texture of the original wood is extremely prominent. It is very popular in high-end decoration.
[Identification method]🔍
Although they are all called smoked oak, there are many differences due to regions and processing methods. The following 3️⃣ points can be used to identify the quality:
🔸 Gradient texture: This is the most intuitive point, which directly reflects the carbonization process and splicing technology of the veneer
🔸 Oak texture: The wood grain needs to have a clear texture and a strong sense of bumps and depressions when touched by hand. Only thick veneers above 0.6㎜ can achieve this effect.
🔸 Use paint: The key to determining the texture. It is best to use skin-feeling matte paint for semi-transparent open technology, which can maximize the original strong texture of the wood.
Smoked oak can meet these three points very well. Whether it is used to make finished furniture or large-area wainscoting background walls, it can present the unique luxury temperament of smoked oak.
