Veneers are more than just a surface material; they embody craftsmanship and sustainability. As consumer awareness about environmental impact grows, the demand for eco-friendly materials continues to rise.
VENEER WISE
Veneer flooring refers to a type of engineered wood flooring that consists of a thin layer of real hardwood on top of a core material, which is often plywood or high-density fibreboard (HDF). Veneers are thin slices of high-quality wood adhered to core panels, allowing for diverse aesthetics without sacrificing durability. Recent innovations in wood veneers, particularly in sourcing and technology, have enabled architects to incorporate a wider array of exotic species. Aparna Kaushik, Founder & Architect, Aparna Kaushik Design Group, says, “Newer veneers made of several materials, such as stone, wood, metal, bamboo, even paper are available in the market. The use of dyed veneers and unique grain patterns allows for innovative design elements that add personality to spaces. Their aesthetic flexibility allows for intricate and all types of design solutions which could be impractical with solid wood. Utilising bigger veneer sheets reduces seams, resulting in a more cohesive look that’s perfect for contemporary spaces.”
