Our timber veneer and melamine finishes are a good environmental choice. Made from mixed chipped wood and resin, they can also contain waste wood and forest trimmings - materials that would otherwise go to waste.
We also offer a range of the Forest Stewardship Council’s (FSC) well-recognised international certification scheme for our veneers. The FSC develops a Chain of Custody (CoC), which tracks the wood from the forest to the end consumer and ensures that it all comes from well-managed sources. You won’t find any exotic woods from ancient forests, such as Teak, Abachi, Iroko or Mahogany in our range because they are not from sustainable forests. Instead we can offer many other environmentally sustainable alternatives.
Concerns over veneer and melamine finishes have come from their use of formaldehyde, which is carcinogenic and an irritant to the eyes, nose and throat. However, our melamine and veneer is human, as well as environmentally friendly and manufactured with low formaldehyde emissions to comply with Australia’s E1 standard. Further, we have chosen to transition to E0 board, which emits just half the standard recommended E1 level. During our transition across to E0 board, we can, on request, arrange for E0 substrates to be used.
To clean veneer, follow the direction of the grain and wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Then immediately wipe over again with a dry cloth. For stains, wipe over with a mild soapy solution first, then damp cloth and then dry cloth. Only polish veneer occasionally.
To clean melamine, wipe with a damp cloth over the surface and then follow with a dry cloth. If you want to add a shine, use some glass cleaning spray.
Please be mindful that your monitor is never able to reproduce veneer or melamine finishes perfectly. What you see on this page is only a small sample of our comprehensive range. Please visit our showroom to view our full offering or we can arrange for a sample to be mailed to you.
Standard Timber Veneer
Just as each tree is unique, so are the colours and grain structures of each piece of veneer. As a general rule, over time, lighter veneers will darken and darker veneers will lighten.
