Veneer Table Tops
Standard veneers are often used as a cheaper alternative to solid wood. They are best not used in high wear areas as any damage to the lacquer can cause the veneer to absorb moisture and may create it to "lift up" or de-bond from the substrate. To help this some standard veneers such as ash and beech are available in extra thicknesses but this has a knock on effect on price. More exotic veneers are widely used in the hotel sector and can create stunning effects.
Ash Veneer
Price Range:
Durability:
The most popular veneer with its wild grain pattern. An inferior product to solid ash but still widely used. The concern with all veneers is that if the lacquered finish is damaged then moisture can penetrate the veneer and cause it to 'lift' (ie debond from the MDF substrate). Its varied grain makes this probably the most popular veneer we supply.
Oak Veneer
Price Range:
Durability:
The particularly attractive open grain structure of oak is retained in the use of this wood in veneering.
Beech Veneer
Price Range:
Durability:
The second the most popular veneer, often used with solid beech edging, especially on large tops. As we use so many solid beech tops the price difference is negligible with the solids being a much more durable in high wear areas.
Quite a bland veneer with little variation in grain, but still popular. However the price of solid beech tops are very very competitive in comparison.
Special Veneer
Price Range:
Durability:
We are able to use virtually any veneer in the manufacture of table tops. We can offer inlays, cross branding, stringing and quartering. Shown here is a macassar veneered top.
