Working in a veneering factory we are at the sharp end – the dusty end if you like – of the interior design business. Whilst there’s nothing glossy about the work we do, it’s actually incredibly important in achieving those amazing, eye-catching finishes that adorn stunning public buildings, popular entertainment venues, hotels and fine homes.
Read Veneers has recently produced an impressive collection of reproduction furniture complete with stunning marquetry for a leading furniture maker. The impressive furniture was crafted by a team of specialist furniture makers and Read Veneers completed the final finishing touches with unique, custom made veneers and marquetry.
The way veneers are positioned together can make a huge difference to the finished product. The overall look of the veneered product, whether a door, a piece of furniture or an entire kitchen, determines the technique that’s used. In general, to create a veneer with a first-class finish, a great deal of attention must be paid to the grain of the wood, the patterns of the natural material and the flow of the natural lines.
Wood veneering is a common practice in furniture and fixture making. Many items of furniture, flooring, doors and kitchen units in homes and workplaces are veneered and often it’s done to such a high standard that it is difficult to know which are veneered and which are solid wood.
