• Veneer

Euroshpon Ltd. produces the crossband veneer of the following tree species: oak, ash and beech. Produced veneer has the thickness 0.55 mm - 1.5 mm and the length 0.5 m – 3.7 m

Natural veneer is the thin cut layer of the wood in the form of the leaf with the beautiful drawing on the surface, on which cover details and products of other materials (wooden plates, plywood, particle board).  As the alternative to integral wood, it was introduced in the production at the beginning of the nineteenth century. And already by the end of the century the veneer took place in the mass production.

The size and texture of the veneer layers depends on as from the type of the used wood and from the features of a log, and also from the way of its cutting.

Depending onin what direction of the annual rings of the wood, the processing of wood (planing) was carried out, there are such types of the veneer: radial, semi-radial and tangential. Accordingly, each type has the typical characteristics of the drawing.

Radial (R) – annual layers on a cut look as the parallel lines, on the whole surface of a leaf, and medullary– as the strips located not less, than on ¾ of the leaf area.

Semi-radial (SR) – annual layers on a cut look as the parallel lines located not less, than on ¾ of the whole area of a leaf, and medullary- as the inclined or longitudinal strips located not less, than on a half of the area of a leaf.

Tangential (T) – annual layers on a cut are in the form of corners, curves, a cone, and heart-shaped beams – in the form of the longitudinal or inclined strokes.
