Century Veneers - Natzurawoods 2023

The way you match veneer sheets can create visual rhythm and enhance your project. Here are some of the more common veneer matching approaches: BOOK MATCH Every other leaf of veneer is turned over like the pages of a book. The grain is mirrored in each adjacent leaf. The visual effect created is that veneer joints match, creating a symmetrical pattern. SLIP MATCH In this process a sequence of matching veneer leaves or consecutive sheets of veneer are slipped out one after the next. The visual effect shows a grain figure repeating. RANDOM MATCH Typically done only on veneers having multiple characters on one single sheet. Visually it creates beauty in randomness. REVERSE SLIP MATCH In reverse slip matching, the veneer leaves are slipped out from under each other and every other veneer leaf is flipped end to end. This balances the character of the veneer on the panel face. GENERAL CARE OF VENEERED SURFACES In general, veneer surfaces should not be left wet/damp or with wet staining materials on them, such as dark fruit juice/wine. They should not be cleaned with harsh clean– ers or chemicals that affect the surface finish. Sharp edges are potential problem zones for breaks or cracks in the coating. POINTERS TO HELP YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR VENEERS DUSTI NO: Use only a soft dry cloth or feather duster. POLISHING: Use a high-quality furniture polish and a soft dry cloth. EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANCES: Care should be taken in an air-conditioned or heated environment to keep the temperature fluctuations within reasonable limits. SPILLAGES: All spillages should be cleaned with a damp cloth as soon as possible. Moisture may cause damage to the veneer and create marks on the surface of the veneer. DIRTY OR CREASY MARKS: First wipe it clean with a dry cloth, then use a lightly dampened cloth with a mixture of water and a high-quality furniture polish. DIRECT SUNLIGHT: Direct sunlight should be avoided on all internal veneered surfaces as fading, bleaching or colour changes of the surface coating and of the veneer may occur. care & mainteiwnce POLISHING PROCESS TYPES OF POLISH Stage 1 Surface cleaning • Lacquer Stage 2 Sealer application • Melamine Stage 3 Smoothing with higher • Polyurethane (PU) grit sanding paper* • Polycoat Stage 4 Desired polish application e
