We have all admired the beauty of Zebrawood and Ebony in luxury interiors. Their striking grains and rich tones elevate any space. But what if you could achieve these stunning looks while ensuring consistency, availability, and sustainability? That is precisely what we have accomplished with FineTec Recons, our reconstructed, real wood veneer manufactured from consistently available wood species that simulate the look of rare burl figures and unique, original designs.
What is FineTec Recons?
FineTec Recons represents a breakthrough approach to veneer technology. Through an advanced manufacturing process, we’ve created a veneer that replicates the look and feel of real wood species.
The journey begins with responsibly sourced, premium Poplar and African hardwoods like Obeche and Koto, harvested from managed forests. These logs are carefully selected and undergo precise rotary peeling to create thin veneer sheets.
Each veneer sheet is submerged in stainless steel vats, where they are heated and pressurized with water-soluble dyes. This dyeing process penetrates the entire leaf, ensuring consistent coloring throughout—not just on the surface. The result? A veneer that maintains its hue and vibrancy even after sanding.
Beauty Meets Versatility
The next phase of crafting FineTec Recons is to combine precision with artistry. These perfectly dyed leaves are meticulously stacked, glued, and pressed under extreme pressure in specialized molds. This process allows us to create various patterns, from sophisticated flat cuts to elegant quarter cuts and distinctive burl patterns.
The advantages of this approach are significant. It delivers genuine wood veneer with remarkably consistent grain and color, not only from sheet to sheet but also from order to order. Available in various sizes and patterns, these veneers are ideal for large, sequenced runs and can be stacked and matched for consistency.
Like all natural wood products, FineTec Recons reacts to both direct and indirect light. Over time, exposure to natural or artificial softens the surface tone, adding depth and character to spaces.
The Sustainability Advantage
At Jacaranda, sustainability is not just a trend—it’s a commitment. That’s why most FineTec Recons species carry FSC certification, reflecting our dedication to responsible forestry. By using FineTec Recons, you’re not only choosing a veneer that’s beautiful but also one that adheres to ethical environmental practices.
When paired with our recommended Elite finish, FineTec Recons provides a real-world solution to sourcing hard-to-acquire species without compromising quality.
Limitless Design Possibilities
FineTec Recons’ unmatched versatility makes it an essential tool for architects and designers alike. Like other SanFoot products, FineTec Recons can be custom-stained or digitally printed, creating endless design possibilities. From executive offices to hotel lobbies, it adapts to meet the demands of diverse spaces.
Imagine transforming a corporate workspace with a striated FineTec Recons veneer, giving it a modern and professional aesthetic. Picture university halls clad in warm, inviting tones or healthcare facilities designed as healing sanctuaries.
FineTec Recons’ versatility shines through in every application. Each installation showcases its ability to integrate beauty with functionality, enhancing architectural designs.
