Wood Veneer Sheet: Their Advantages and Disadvantages in Carpentry

Wood veneer sheets are the most preferred materials used for interior decoration and modern furniture making. This material is known to provide furniture with extra stability and a lustrous finish. Wood veneer application is very common in kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

But is it worth spending such a high amount on wood veneers when you can get synthetic or reconstituted veneers for a lesser price? Here we have the advantages and disadvantages of having wood veneer sheets adhered to your furniture.

Advantages of using wood veneers

  1. Firstly, wood veneer is a more economic option as compared to solid wood when you customize your furniture.
  2. Owing to the natural appearance of the wooden slices, your furniture gets a natural aesthetic at a lower cost.
  3. Wood veneer fixes easily on engineered wood surfaces.
  4. Each wooden veneer sheet is unique and different from the others in the market as each tree will be different and will offer different textures in different layers. So, chances of customization to prepare unique furniture are more.



  5. Using veneers for household furniture offers more flexibility in the design. While you cannot varnish or polish a laminated veneer sheet, you can do those on wooden veneers and give your furniture a new shade and shine.
  6. Adding veneers to your furniture or wooden surface adds to its durability and strength. While wooden surfaces are prone to damage from heat and water, veneers protect the surface from them. While its own polish loses its shine, the main wooden structure remains unharmed when you have wooden veneer sheets on them.
  7. Using wood veneers is an eco-friendly option as compared to using PVC or other synthetic material. You can even prepare a veneer from recycled wood.
  8. Wood veneers provide optimum utilization of wood. While you need more than one wooden log to make a single piece of furniture, you can make several pieces of veneer sheets from one log and use it to bind more than one surface.
  9. Being a natural product, wood veneer is non-toxic in nature.

Disadvantages of using wood veneer

  1. It is susceptible to damage from water
  2. You need skilled laborers to install the veneer
  3. Wood veneers call for more maintenances.
  4. It forms cracks after some time
  5. Wood veneers once cracked are beyond repair

Conclusions

Before you get wood veneers for your furniture, the above pros and cons will help you make an informed decision. Understand if it is a wise choice.
