Engineered wood is increasingly popular in the world of interior design, offering endless customization options and consistently high-quality finishes. With engineered veneers, we can craft a real wood product with a reliable appearance to match specific needs, durable enough to withstand high traffic in areas like commercial facilities, and strong and stable enough to withstand intense environments, blending function and form seamlessly. Here’s everything you need to know about engineered veneers and their place in the modern world of interior design.
What Is Engineered Wood Veneer?
Engineered wood veneer is a type of real wood veneer that ensures a consistent appearance even over large expanses. At Jacaranda, we use a patented process to replicate natural wood patterns using real wood and high-quality materials. With our techniques, we can expertly recreate rare burls, exquisite designs, and beautiful grain patterns. The results are unparalleled.
Engineered Veneer Benefits
Engineered veneer offers quite a few benefits over traditional veneer, including consistency in veneer finishes. We can reproduce your desired patterns and create one-of-a-kind looks for residential or commercial spaces, allowing for unprecedented options for customization in veneer design.
Engineered veneer is also sustainable. Wood is a renewable resource, and engineered wood allows us to maximize the way we use that wood. To craft veneer, we peel the wood from the logs, which gets the most raw material from each log we use. At Jacaranda, we’ve patented a method that allows us to get three times as much veneer from every log. We bond the layers together to create a product that performs better than conventional lumber with less waste. It requires less processing, cutting, sanding, and other treatments, making it vastly more sustainable than conventional lumber products.
Our engineered wood veneer performs better, too. When we reconfigure the wood and bond it to a secure backing, we make it stronger. Unlike solid wood, which can be prone to cracking and warping, our wood veneer is stabilized by the backer and can withstand temperature and humidity changes and the finish protects against impact damage. Varying backers allow for different features. For example, foil backers allow for flexibility in application and can mold to curved and contoured walls and other surfaces. Acrylic backers allow for translucence, making them excellent choices for backlighting features on walls, ceilings, and light fixtures.
