Everyone loves the look and feel of real wood surfaces, whether this be on their furniture, walls, or even vehicle. However, wood is not always the most practical material to build things out of. This is where wood veneers come into play. Here are some unique advantages that wood veneers have over normal wood products.
- Placing wood veneers over a substrate can be much less heavy than solid wood. Of course, it will still feel substantial, but it won’t be incredibly heavy like solid wood.
- Custom Color: If you are unsatisfied with the current veneer you have many wood veneers to choose from to replace it. Having to redo a solid wood cabinet would be more difficult than peeling and regluing new wood veneers.
- Repairs: As mentioned before, replacing wood veneers is possible. If the current veneer is getting old, then you can tear it off and glue on a new veneer and it will appear brand-new.
- Quality: When you save money buying a substrate and a veneer, you are left with more money in your pocket than if you purchased solid wood products. This means you have more of your budget to spend on higher quality veneers to give these products and even nicer look than the solid wood ones.
- Eco-Friendly: Using less wood is always better for than environment, and veneers use wood very efficiently. Very little wood is wasted when applying a veneer, not to mention a lot of veneer can be produced from a single tree. Compared to a solid wood product, wood veneers are much more efficient in their wood usage.
Next time you are looking to improve your home with the feel and look of wood, make sure to check on wood veneers. Wood veneers offer many advantages and should be taken into consideration when doing home renovations.
