Select the right veneer based on your criteria

🟩The creative and design possibilities offered by wood can be fully realized through more rigorous and advanced veneer production. By slicing or peeling wood into thin veneers with a thickness of 0.5-0.7 mm, this maximizes the wood's economic value and realizes its maximum potential, which is crucial from an ecological perspective.
🔝For this reason, only the finest wood from each region is processed into veneer.
🌲Whether wood can be used as veneer depends on the following factors, which must be evaluated based on the original wood's characteristics:
Specifically, these factors include straightness, core and cracking, the presence of visible defects (such as mineral lines, tiger stripes, insect holes, rot, etc.), processable dimensions, color and stability, grain, and appearance.
⭕To meet today's quality standards, the veneer surface must be as free of defects as possible, with a uniform color and even grain. This requires extensive experience and knowledge of veneer production to ensure a more accurate and optimized processing concept.
🌈At the same time, as public aesthetics evolve, some people are also beginning to pursue natural patterns. Veneers with unique knots and distinctive mineral lines are now widely used in distinctive wood finishes and furniture, showcasing a unique natural beauty.

Uses: High-end furniture, luxury packaging, and luxury decorative surfaces.
🔹Grade B (Excellent/Standard Grade) Appearance: A few small live knots, slight color variations, or short mineral lines are permitted, but no dead knots or obvious defects.
Uses: Mid- to high-end furniture, doors, and general decoration.
🔸Grade C (Common/Economy Grade)
Appearance: A few knots, color variations, mineral lines, or small cracks are permitted, but no structural defects.
Uses: General furniture, veneer coverings for hidden areas, or minor decorative applications. 🔹Grade D (Industrial Grade)
Appearance: Many defects (such as large knots, cracks, and insect holes) require repair before use.
Applications: Base materials for low-end furniture, packaging boxes, etc.
