What is wood veneer?
Veneer is sliced from a log in sequence to produce the warmth and beauty of solid wood, yet at tremendous cost savings. Veneer sheets or veneer panels are made up of a face veneer applied to various substrates, such as Veneer core plywood, medium density board, or other thinner type of substrates. The veneers can be sanded and stained, to achieve the desired color effect the designer so desires. Jacaranda features SanFoot, a prefinished Architectural natural wood veneer wallcovering which can be applied directly to drywall, the same way as a traditional wallcovering product. The unique SanFoot backer allows the A&D community greater use of real wood, such as walls and ceiling applications, while stretching the budgetary needs of the client.
