Engineered wood veneers are also known as recomposed, reconstituted or manufactured wood veneers.
Engineered wood is a re-manufactured product processed to achieve a specific pre-designed appearance. Each sheet sliced from a block will be consistent throughout.
Engineered wood veneers are sliced from softer, rapidly growing renewable species. The veneer is dyed in vats, dried and glued together into various shaped blocks where it will be re-sliced and re-glued, depending on the desired pattern.
The finished product can emulate natural wood features like a crown, quarter and straight grain. The technique allows you to create many different and unique patterns.
As reconstituted veneer is composed mainly of natural wood its moisture content may
vary in relation to the environment in which it is stored and worked; we recommend,
therefore, maintaining in the areas reserved for storing and working the veneer a
humidity rate of between 50% and 80% (Ur) at a reference temperature of 20-22° C.
Avoid all contact, even temporary, with water or other liquids, condensation and dripping onto the surface of the product.
The product should be stored flat at a height of at least 200-250mm from the floor
and the veneer must be protected from all light, both direct and indirect.
Reconstituted veneer can be glued onto all wood-based supports with ureic or vinyl
glues. For gluing onto supports in different materials we recommend first carrying out
tests to check for any technical problems and assess the performance of the finished
product.
