Can veneer be pre-finished prior
to installation?
Pre-finishing veneer can be done, contact your regional sales representative or our customer service staff for more information.
How do I minimize veneer colors
from fading?
All wood veneers, both natural or dyed, are subject to color change over time due to exposure to ultraviolet light (UV), fading, environment, or aging of the wood. We suggest everyone use a non-yellowing finish containing UV inhibitors to slow and limit such fading.
What is wood veneer?
Veneer is real wood. The wood is sliced very thin, approximately 1/50”, and made into sheets of varying sizes. These veneer faces are then permanently bonded to paper back, poly resin back or wood backing material and processed to become flexible and more durable at the same time.

This allows you to pick the quality you need with the price you’ll love.
*Our Veneer grading only pertains to our natural & dyed veneers.
HAND SELECTED
This is the best of the grade of veneer, which is as close to perfect as wood veneer can possibly be. The widest flitches are used and sheets here predominantly organized in sequence. This grade is for jobs that require the best of the best in sequence and visual consistency.
STANDARD
These veneers are beautiful, but allow for a few marginal nodes. The sheets are generally in sequence and match in grain and color and the widest veneer flitches typically are used to allow for fewer splices.
COMMERCIAL
Based on the species there are more marginal nodes accepted, however the quality is perfect for wider spread application. Sheets are generally close in grain and color. Splices (joints or seams) are wider (less in number) than standard grade.
SECONDS
This grade provides the lowest yield in grain consistency. More nominal defects are present than any other grade. The sheets are not likely to match in sequence, however it is perfect for projects were subtle variety is valued.
