Wood Veneer Sheets
| A wood veneer sheet is a thin piece of wood that is produced by peeling, slicing or sawing a log or flitch. It is sold as either a raw wood veneer, or is spliced with other raw veneers to produce a larger wood veneer sheet. Wood veneer sheets are used in kitchen cabinets, furniture, millwork, decorative boxes, and many other types of wood items. | |

Flexible Wood Veneers Flexible wood veneers are ideal for curved surfaces because they are more flexible and less likely to crack. Flexible wood veneer sheets come with a variety of backings including; paper, phenolic (plastic), wood, foil and cloth. Paper backed veneers tend to be more flexible than phenolic backings. |

Two-Ply Wood Veneer Two-ply wood veneers are composed of two wood veneers that are bonded together with the wood grain running perpendicular (90 degree angle) to one another. The result is a more dimensionally stable product that minimizes the wood veneer’s tendency to expand and contract. It is also less likely to crack or break than a raw wood veneer. |

Pressure Sensitive Wood Veneer Also called: PSA Veneer, Pressure Sensitive Adhesive, Self Adhesive Wood Veneer, Peel and Stick Wood VeneerA pressure sensitive adhesive veneer is a wood veneer that has had a pressure sensitive adhesive applied to its back surface. These veneers do not require additional glues or adhesives and are a good choice if speed and convenience are most important. |

Raw Wood Veneer Raw wood veneer (with no backing) is the most common type of wood veneer available. It can be applied directly to a variety of substrates (particleboard, MDF, etc.) by using either a vacuum press or clamping press. Raw wood veneers are considerably less expensive than the backed veneers and are available in practically any type of wood specie and grain pattern. |
