In a world full of synthetic finishes, nothing beats the feel of real wood. This is why a lot of people use veneers in their households - they are made of real wood without the drawbacks and costs involved. But what if we told you that veneers not only add good detailing to your interiors, but also add warmth and character?
Here at CenturyPly, we have CenturyVeneers, which are borer- and termite-resistant, boiling water-resistant, and have been at the forefront of veneer solutions. In this article, we’re diving deep into veneers - what they are, and how they add warmth and character to your interiors.
But first, we need to understand what veneers are. To keep it simple, a veneer is delicately crafted layer of natural wood that is cut from a log and glued to a surface, such as plywood or medium-density fibreboard (MDF). This allows the beauty of natural wood to show through without needing substantial wood components.
Here at CenturyPly, CenturyVeneers are one of the best materials for furnishing your home or office since they provide a modern touch to any space. These veneers are both functional and incredibly beautiful. These veneer sheets are great because they don't expand when the temperature changes due to moisture or humidity.
There are many types of CenturyVeneers, each with its own style, method, and design. Each one has a unique character that makes your home feel more luxurious and natural. There are two types of veneers offered by CenturyPly:
SenzuraStyles is a type of engineered veneer that is made from plantation wood. This line of veneers originates from pre-made dye moulds and actual wood, which creates beautiful patterns. After the veneer is laser-cut, it is dyed in a controlled way, which gives it a variety of textures and colours that can enhance any space.
SenzuraStyles includes veneers like the teak series, with sheets such as Cappuccino, Almond, Dark Bars, Royal, and more. If you want different accents, you can also choose from grey, light, or dark series.
NatzuraWoods is a type of veneer made from wood sourced from forests in Europe, Africa, and the United States. This wood forms the base of these veneers, and experts work on it to highlight its textures and planned patterns to make it flawless. German sanding technology gives this category its finishing touch. The many cutting techniques used to make these veneers - such as crown cut, quarter cut, rotary, rift cut, and others - give them a touch of elegance and nature.
The best part of wood is the fact that it’s probably the oldest material ever used, yet it’s timeless. No matter what trends come and go, the craze for wood remains. This is because wood adds a sense of warmth to a place by making your interiors look closer to nature. But natural wood has a lot of drawbacks - it’s prone to termites and can swell with moisture.
This is why veneers like CenturyVeneers are major contenders. Not only do they offer a variety of designs, but they also don’t have the same drawbacks as wood - all while mimicking its appearance.
Veneers don't need any extra care. You can treat them the same way you would treat other materials. There may be specific care instructions depending on how a product is used and finished, but these are usually easy to follow. Most modern finishing techniques are sturdy enough for everyday use.
The best part? They look and feel like real wood. They are also easy to apply. In our case, since we offer pre-finished panels, the homeowner and the designer can see exactly what colour and finish they will get.
Veneers are a great choice for high-end homes since they will never go out of style and give off a warmth and richness that no other surfacing material can. Veneers can be used in a variety of applications such as doors, wall panels, bed headboards, ceilings, closets, tables, and more.
What makes natural veneer truly special is its uniqueness - once you use a veneer, it can’t be replicated elsewhere, giving your interiors a distinct look. Second, the wide variety of veneers available means there’s something to suit every style and need. Once polished, veneers are long-lasting and easy to maintain.
But the question remains - where can you use veneers? Here are some ideas to help you understand their versatility:
You can create a stunning accent wall using wood veneer. Add depth and texture by arranging veneer in patterns like grids. Use warm-toned veneers to make a space feel cosy, or dark-toned veneers for a bold, dramatic effect. They’re perfect for elevating living rooms or even commercial spaces without cluttering the design.
Wood veneers are great for crafting one-of-a-kind furniture pieces like tables and bookcases. They are lightweight and easy to mould into various shapes. Natural veneer finishes combined with painted or laminated accents can create striking visual contrasts.
Wood veneers are a popular choice for premium kitchen designs. They offer the look of expensive hardwood at a fraction of the cost. To give your cabinets more visual interest, use contrasting veneer tones for upper and lower cabinets.
Veneers are the perfect alternative to wood. They mimic the look of real wood without its drawbacks. They add warmth and character to your interior by bringing you closer to nature. If you’re looking for quality veneers for your interiors, CenturyVeneers is the perfect choice.
