Commonly used wood veneer materials for custom furniture
There are many ways to decorate the surface of customized furniture, such as painting, veneer, inlay, engraving, etc. Commonly used veneer materials include wood veneer, melamine resin decorative board, synthetic resin impregnated paper, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic film, shells, printing Decorative papers and other soft facing materials. Here we focus on veneer and veneer.
veneer
The veneer (thin wood) and veneer decoration industry started in the 1950s. After half a century of development, it has reached a considerable scale. Especially in the past two decades, with the rapid growth of my country's furniture manufacturing and decoration industries, their development has been advancing by leaps and bounds.
There are mainly two types of veneers: technological veneer and natural veneer.
Natural veneers are produced by recombination and cutting according to the designed pattern. Of course, most of these natural veneers are made of fast-growing wood species that are easy to dye.
The pattern of technical veneer is generally designed to have good texture uniformity.
The raw materials of natural veneer are all natural, and their texture cannot be changed, and their natural beauty is incomparable. If the inner core is made of solid wood and the surface is made of natural wood veneer, it will have a strong three-dimensional and artistic feel, and will not deform or warp. Natural wood veneer has natural characteristics and different textures, and no two pieces are exactly the same. Therefore, it is characterized by non-repetition and large texture differences, which is in line with the aesthetic orientation of pursuing nature.
How to distinguish between natural veneer and technical veneer?
Natural veneer is natural wood, which has natural texture and color without artificial modification. The veneer is directly produced from natural raw wood. It has the natural and honest fragrance of wood, strong texture, and ingenious artistic charm. It has special and irregular natural texture and is superb. It can give you the original heartbeat of returning to nature and the artistic enjoyment of beauty. Because of this feature, it is not common to ordinary technical veneer (artificial veneer), which is one of the reasons why people like natural veneer. However, natural veneer also has many defects, such as mineral lines on the veneer surface, dead knots, slip knots, wormholes, white edges, etc. These are the unique characteristics of natural veneer, and technological veneer can avoid these defects.
Technological veneer (artificial veneer) is a new all-wood decorative material with superior performance produced by using ordinary wood (fast-growing wood) as raw material, using the principle of bionics, and performing various modified physical and chemical treatments on ordinary wood and fast-growing wood. , is the "upgraded version" of natural wood. It uses logs as raw materials and undergoes a series of pattern design, dyeing, re-structuring, insect removal treatment, high temperature and high pressure to become technological veneer. The processed technical veneer has a smooth surface and is not only rich in color, but can also well meet the requirements of different decoration sites and consumers' different texture preferences. Able to complete the transformation of defects in original wood. The original inevitable flaws such as discoloration and wormholes of natural wood have also been overcome, better ensuring and optimizing the combination of technical wood and natural wood. Although technological veneer imitates the texture of natural veneer, it still has a certain gap compared with natural veneer. The texture of technological veneer appears dull and the texture is not as natural as natural veneer.
veneer
Veneer (Wood veneer), the full name is decorative veneer veneer, which is a kind of surface used for furniture manufacturing that is made by slicing natural wood or technology into thin slices of a certain thickness, adhering to the surface of the plywood, and then hot-pressing it. Material.
Common veneer panels are divided into natural wood veneer veneer panels and artificial thin wood veneer panels.
Artificial thin wood veneers are the most suitable for natural wood veneers, and the texture before drying is basically a straight texture or regular pattern; while the latter is a natural wood pattern, which is sensitive and natural, and has relatively high variability. Big and irregular. The characteristics of artificial thin wood veneer: it not only has the beautiful pattern of wood, but also makes full use of wood resources and reduces costs.
Common veneer colors range from light to dark, including cherry, maple, white orange, red, ash, white oak, red oak, teak, rosewood, walnut, white shadow wood, red shadow wood and other varieties.
