Veneer is an excellent, inexpensive alternative
to solid wood. Today, most veneers are rotary cut with pressure from
a broad cutting knife against a rotating log. Typical thicknesses for
a veneer range from 0.15 mm to 0.6 mm. The thinner material is used to
make flexible, or reinforced veneer. Flexible veneer is rapidly
becoming more popular than common, and for a good reason-it is
significantly easier to work with. We offer a range of architectural
grade veneers with a non woven fiber fleece backing. Flexed and sanded
for easy handling, versatile paperback veneer can be laminated to
curves for a beautiful effect.
The veneers are selected & spliced
book-match to achieve highest decorative quality & then
made extremely flexible by pressing them at high temperature &
high pressure to a non-woven fiber coated fleece. This new product
from Turakhia is the answer to the traditional problems encountered
when using veneer on curved surface areas requiring flexibility.
Because flexible veneer is thinner than common, it's reinforced
with a backing that allows it to bend around a smaller radius
without breaking. As a matter of fact, it's so flexible that it is
sold in rolls.
