Jointed Veneer Layons
Jointed veneer layons can be supplied to any size required, using any of our full range of veneers . Veneers are trimmed in order to prepare clean and straight edges and these prepared veneers are then jointed by one of the following methods.
Stitched Veneers:
The oldest method to join veneers involves applying a thin thread that has been impregnated with a strong glue to the back of the veneers, in the form of a zig-zag pattern. Stitching is flexible and allows jointing of the more wavy and irregular veneers and the more figured or interesting the veneer, the more likely it is that the veneers will be stitched - burrs are a good example of this.
Edge Jointed Veneers
This more modern method, involves the application of a very thin layer of strong acting glue to the edges of each piece of prepared veneer and then joining the veneers using a special machine under pressure and heat. Ruckle joints are used with veneers that are stable and flat, as the join must be accurate between adjoining veneers, and avoids possible telegraphing of stitching thread through the veneer, which can sometimes occur with very thin or light coloured veneers.
Inlays:
We supply veneer layons with our range of inlays inserted into the face of veneer layons, in any configuration that you desire, for example to give a panelling effect, or simply as vertical or horizontal lines across the face.
Sizes:
There are no standard panel sizes, as everything is made to special order and standard veneer thickness is 0.55-0.7mm, depending upon the specie, although some veneers are also available up to 2.5mm thick.
