Veneer Sheets Market: Overview

Veneer sheets are marvels of carpentry, a craft comprising skilled personnel that performs activities like shaping, cutting, and installing building components in the construction of ships, concrete formwork, buildings, and timber bridges to name a few. Veneer sheets are used by applying them on a surface which may include a wooden structure, particle board, or medium-density fiberboard. When used along with these boards, veneer sheets are used for furniture, doors, parquet floors, table tops, etc.

The term veneer refers to an extremely thin film or coating over a concrete surface with the aim to improve the appearance of the surface and impart an exotic or exquisite look. Veneer sheets are thin sheets of materials that when glued to a solid surface upgrade the physical appearance of the surface and make it look expensive. Most veneer sheets are only 1/8th in terms of thickness. In the case of woodwork, the most commonly used are hardwood veneers which describe a thin piece of hardwood adhering to a section of particle board or plywood.

Generally, the surface is relatively cheaper and is known as substrate. However, after using hardwood veneer, the whole object appears high in cost and is therefore a popular choice of outer coating amongst many end-consumers. The idea behind using veneer sheets is to make low-cost substrate appear exorbitant thus increasing the product's reach amongst consumers of all segments.
