Veneer - translated from German means lining (sliver). In the production of furniture and doors, veneer is thin plates that are glued to some other surface, such as MDF.

The advantages of veneered doors over other materials:

There are two types of veneer: natural and fine-line.

Natural veneer

A thin sheet of natural veneer is obtained by removing part of the surface from solid wood- it is cut down, peeled off, planed. The main thing is to keep the structure wooden surface... The advantages of natural veneer are environmental friendliness, the uniqueness of the pattern, the natural beauty of the material. It is quite natural that veneer is cheaper than solid wood and the canvas with it will weigh less. These are the benefits of natural veneer.

Fine line

Material with interesting name"Fine-line" is the name of the veneer reconstructed from natural wood. Due to the emergence of new production technologies, it is possible to obtain an imitation valuable breeds wood from a canvas of cheaper, fast-growing species, which favorably affects the final cost. Quality, of course, this veneer will differ from the original, but it will still have the same pattern, structure and appearance... The disadvantage of this veneer is perhaps one - the fragility of the material.

• Low compared to solid wood doors, price, with a similar environmental friendliness.
• For veneered doors, in particular varied content, which also affects the price - maybe from a re-glued array, MDF, with honeycomb filling.
• Durability... If the veneer is glued to an MDF substrate, then such a coating will serve for a long time.
• Appearance. Natural veneer is very beautiful material- it looks like natural wood.
• Range. Highly wide choose a variety of veneers will allow you to choose the right option.

Disadvantages of veneered doors:

• Uniformity of size... Doors covered with veneer are made according to the same standard, an individual option is almost impossible.
• The weight... Re-glued timber doors weigh the same as solid wood doors. Lightweight version of doors with honeycomb filling only.
• Possible problems with environmental friendliness... Unscrupulous manufacturers can use low-quality glue or varnish.

5. Advantages and disadvantages

Solid wood is an excellent material for the production of furniture, furnishings and door leaves... However, it has a significant drawback - a high price. Products made from different composites, finished with veneer, represent an alternative for connoisseurs classic style... Even an experienced carpenter will not immediately be able to distinguish them from solid wood.

What is veneer

Wood veneer production in Europe began in the 19th century. The first to release it in Germany... Continuous thin canvases were cut from large blocks and logs on machine tools. Their surface retained all natural properties and a natural unique pattern. The thickness of the resulting plates is from 1 to 12 mm, depending on the method of production, wood species.

Over time, the machines were improved, which made it possible to obtain different types of material. The name was stuck to him in German: in translation "veneer" means "wood chips".

Thin wood canvases have become a godsend for cabinetmakers, masters of musical instruments. They were used to sheathe blanks from cheap woods and create things that are indistinguishable in appearance from those cut from solid logs.

Types of material

There are several hundred species of wood suitable for making veneers. different textures, colors and textures. Materials can be white, creamy, light brown, chocolate, golden, caramel, purple, bright red. From cheap raw materials canvases can be made that look like expensive varieties pink, red, ebony. There are ways to make surfaces look like marble or stone..

Depending on the technologies used, methods of sawing logs, there are several types of veneer:

1. Peeled. The cheapest, thinnest material, the thickness of the web is from 1 to 5 mm. It is obtained from round pieces of logs, which are rotated, clamped from the ends, into the grooves. A metal cutter removes the chips from the surface. Raw materials - birch, aspen, alder, oak, beech. The finished canvas is used mainly in the production of combined finishing materials.
2. Sliced. Thickness of finished sheets is from 4 to 10 mm. It is obtained by processing blanks with special knives. The angle of inclination of the bars during cutting is different, which makes it possible to obtain plates with different textures and patterns. The following types of raw materials are used: cedar, fir, pine, beech, hornbeam, birch.
3. Sawed. The most expensive kind. It is produced by processing cubic or round pieces of wood with special saws. The resulting planks are 5–12 mm thick. A lot of waste remains, so the blanks are produced in small batches. Mostly conifers are used.

Sliced ​​veneer is cut by guiding the knives along the grain or at different angles. Canvases are obtained in several types, each of which is marked:

• radial (P): with a pattern in the form of straight stripes of annual growth rings over the entire surface;
• semi-radial (PR): the stripes are parallel, located on 75% of the sheet area;
• tangential (T): annual layers form a silhouette of growing cones or curved lines;
• tangential end (TT): on the surface - closed circles or ellipses.

The reverse side is different from the front. The "wrong side" is in contact with the cutting surface, has microcracks, is loose, less even to the touch. Front side smooth.

Another of the varieties is fine-line... It is sometimes considered plastic, but this is a misconception. This material consists of natural wood, it is obtained by reconstruction: pressing peeled plates into large blocks, followed by cutting into sheets. In the process, dyes and glue are used, which help to create imitations for expensive types of wood.

Production technology

To obtain the plates, high-quality raw materials are selected. Timber should not contain a large number knots, resin passages, areas of deeply ingrown bark, wide cracks. Curliness is not a disadvantage, as it allows you to get a beautiful decorative pattern.

Preparation of logs includes removing the bark, cleaning from the upper damaged layers, cutting into large ridges... Depending on the type of subsequent processing, the logs are divided into smaller fragments.

To soften the structure or adjust the color, the workpieces are steamed for several days, or even weeks, then soaked in hot water... The exception is capricious breeds, for example, maple. There is a risk of losing the natural light color.

To get the canvases, the prepared wood is driven through the machines. Fresh leaves are dried, sorted, stacked and cut.

In the manufacture of fine-line, peeled veneer is immersed in containers with dye or etched with glue already assembled in piles. After a while, it transforms into a layered conglomerate. Then the glued material is placed under a press with high pressure where it acquires the required density. Then sheets are planed from the finished mass.

Fine-line is distinguished by high decorative qualities, is plastic, more resistant to moisture and temperature changes.

Application

Veneer - lightweight natural material, which has all the virtues of a real tree. Its scope is very wide..

Thin peeled fabrics are used for the production of matchboxes, boxes, glued. It makes excellent claddings for chipboard, MDF-bases, drywall, wall partitions. Sheets can be used as economical option for renovation old furniture or other planes to be updated.

Sliced ​​veneer is used for finishing furniture facades, door leaves, floor coverings, design items, sports and household equipment. It is good as a decorative material.

Sawed veneer is used for the manufacture of art objects, expensive furniture, musical instruments, block parquet, door arches, panels, decorative finishing panels, exclusive souvenirs, boxes.

Plates made of precious woods with a unique pattern are used to create inlays using marquetry, parquetry, and intarsia techniques. These are special types of mosaics, in which pieces of veneer are attached directly to the base or paper when creating ornaments.

Advantages and disadvantages

Thin wood plates, processed using a special technology, make it possible to produce Decoration Materials, furniture and other items that are outwardly indistinguishable from those carved from solid wood. The advantage of veneered surfaces is decorativeness.... Fibers cut at various angles create many unique patterns and intricate textures that solid board does not possess. This material can be used for finishing various problematic surfaces: rounded or curved.

Veneer is a material already processed and prepared for use. It is well dried, sanded, coated protective compounds, resistant to many unfavorable factors, non-hygroscopic, not prone to cracking, not moldy. It can be refurbished after long-term use.

Furniture and doors finished with veneer are much cheaper than solid wood and are more practical. The material makes it possible to reduce the cost of goods. Two products, one of which is made of inexpensive chipboard, sheathed with thin sheets, and the other is carved from solid wood, can look equally noble, have comparable qualities and durability. But the difference in the final price will be an order of magnitude different. At the same time, only one piece can be made from one log, and there will be so much veneer from it that it will be enough for finishing 5-10 similar ones, made of composite.

Disadvantages - fragility and capriciousness of the coating... It is not resistant to scratches and other types of mechanical stress. In a house where there are animals, the environment will have to be protected from their claws and teeth.

In conditions high humidity some veneers may warp. They must not be washed with water or aggressive household products.

Care of veneered products

Compliance with the rules of care will help ensure long-term service of the veneer finish.

The surfaces must not be cleaned with coarse abrasive products, hard metal brushes, solutions containing alkalis or acids. Veneered furniture should not be soaked with plenty of water, pressed with sharp objects, and hard dirt should not be cleaned off with a blade. Cups and plates with hot food and drinks must not be placed on shelves and countertops. Protective substrates must be used.

Remove dust and stains with a sponge, chamois leather, napkins or soft brushes with bristles. For painted and lacquered finishes, it is recommended to use special polishes. Alcohol-based products can be used to remove greasy stains. Ink marks - a regular school eraser.

A veneer that has lost its previous shine can be renewed by applying a layer of paint or varnish that preserves its texture and pattern.

Veneer is a thinly sawn part of a valuable log. it traditional material for finishing door sets, which can be of different colors, textures, strength. It is made from deciduous, coniferous trees. from wood species, its characteristics and advantages are described below.

A thin slab of wood sawn off with a special machine is called a veneer. The thickness of such cuts does not exceed 10 mm, the width is equal to the required length in a particular case. Sheets have front, back sides, which are determined when good lighting... The surface is slightly glossy.

Types of veneer and its features

There are many varieties, because it differs in the way of harvesting, the angle of cutting, the type of wood from which it is made. You can understand the types by reading the information below.

According to the manufacturing method, it is divided into 3 types:

1. Peeled. The material is obtained by sawing the outer edge from a log rotating around the axis. Such a layer is inexpensive, of poor quality, the texture practically does not repeat.
2. Sliced. Obtained by planing logs, which allows you to maintain the structure. They are widely used in the manufacture of furniture.
3. Sawed. Made from conifers by processing wood on a machine. Used for inlays, mosaics, cladding.

In appearance, it is divided into 3 groups:

• natural - several times lighter than solid wood, cheaper, retains its structure;
• colored - treated with mixtures to increase protective functions, painted in any color;
• fine-line - cuts from cheap woods, reconstructed for veneer of valuable wood species.

At the corners of the saw cut, the material happens:

• radial;
• semi-radial;
• tangential;
• tangential end.

When choosing a veneer covering, you should pay attention to the drawing - it must be original, the same.

Tree species

Lumber is made from almost all species that have good strength and a beautiful texture. Expensive goods are made from valuable wood species, which reduces the cost of finished products, makes them lighter, without affecting the appearance. Furniture factories use 300 different finishes, including mahogany veneers.

The main types of wood from which the finish is made correspond to state standards, strength requirements, have a unique texture, beautiful colour:

1. - has a poorly expressed texture, but lends itself well to processing. It swells in a humid environment, therefore interior doors with a birch covering is not recommended for installation in the bathroom. It can be painted well, tinted.
2. Karelian birch is rare, therefore it has a corresponding price. Used for inlay, creating mosaics.
3. , all its types are strong, durable wood. Suitable for veneering parquet, door designs, furniture. Has a unique texture.
4. several species are dark brown in color. Plastic, bends well. In addition to furniture, doors, musical instruments are made from it. All parts of the tree go into production - branches, roots, growths.
5. Maple in all its varieties (curly too) - has a strong structure, unique texture.
6. American cherry, European cherry polishes well, turns reddish brown when handled correctly. Used for exclusive items.
7. Wenge - durable material, tolerates stress and pressure well. Used for flooring, doors, furniture.
8. Pine products are resistant to fungus, but soft, do not last long. The material is inexpensive due to the low cost of raw materials. Pine for blanks is often used.
9. - like elm, its properties are not inferior to oak: it lends itself to processing, bends, absorbs mixtures. The wood deforms after drying, is prone to decay.
10. Ash has a strong wood, durable, resistant to decay. The texture pattern is beautiful.
11. Alder does not rot, does not crack, does not absorb odors.

The pear finish has a homogeneous structure, is well impregnated with mixtures, and is perfectly polished. If the material is not varnished, it will darken and start to rot. The pear is quite soft, but after proper drying it becomes harder than beech. Finishing products are made from teak, apricot. Among the rare breeds, it is worth noting black, mahogany, ebony.

This is an incomplete list of trees that are sawn to create decorative blanks, so before purchasing it is worth checking with the distributor for the type of blanks.

Production technology

Sawmills have thin plates. Then they go to the guillotine machine, where the defects are eliminated, the workpiece is trimmed according to the specified parameters. After that, the sheets are sent to a new machine, which removes the knots. Further preparation consists in splicing layers together.

For the production of multilayer plywood, the sheets are heat treated at a temperature of 120-130 degrees, while simultaneously compressing the workpiece with a press. Drying of finished products is carried out in drying chambers. It is necessary to dry the plates in a strictly horizontal position to avoid deformation. All stages of manufacturing must comply with GOST.

Veneer application in furniture and interior design

Multi-layer plywood is made from peeled sheets, matchboxes... They are used for finishing, covering the bases of chipboard, fiberboard, MDF panels. Plates are lined with solid surfaces, the appearance of which needs to be changed.

Sliced ​​plates are used to decorate joinery. Also, this material is used to cover door leaves, furniture parts, sports equipment. The material can be used independently to create a design, because it has sufficient strength and durability.

Sawed veneer is used to decorate high-end musical instruments and other elite items. The material is quite plastic, so arches are made of it, frame windows, stairs, and interiors that are non-standard in shape. Used for inlays, creating mosaics.

Main advantages

The finishing material made of thin plates has the same characteristics as the wood from which they are cut. If these are oak sheets, then they are durable, wear-resistant, but pine ones are soft, but resistant to fungus.

Positive qualities of the material:

• strength to high level(depends on the basis);
• a wide range of colors, which is achieved by painting;
• original texture repeating the texture of the tree;
• lightness of the material (compared to the solid);
• increased service life - veneer is less prone to swelling and deformation of wood.
• increased moisture resistance is achieved by impregnation, varnishing;
• beautiful drawings that repeat natural;
• the cost of furniture with veneer and solid wood finishes is very different;
• the use of such material will preserve forests.

Wood veneer - natural material, which in terms of characteristics is not inferior to a tree, but allows you to reduce the felling of green spaces by 10 times. The appearance is not worse than natural wood, and in some cases even better. The choice of the type depends on the tasks.

Before deciding to buy, you should figure out what veneer doors are, how reliable they are and how they behave during operation. On the market, such canvases are presented in an extremely large assortment and are in constant demand, because they have a spectacular appearance and an affordable price.

It is customary to call veneer thin layers cut from wood, the thickness of which can be from 0.1 to 10 mm. There are several types of veneer:

1. Natural veneer. Thin woody plates obtained from squared beams and logs. According to the manufacturing method, veneer can be of 3 types: peeled, planed, sawn. In the peeling method, a layer of veneer is removed from a log rotating around its axis in a horizontal plane. When sawing, the timber (usually conifers) is sawn into thin plates. Thin shavings are removed from the tree by planing over the entire width of the wooden blank. Such veneer is the most expensive, because it completely repeats the wood texture. The quality of the veneered door with a natural finish is high.
2. Reconstructed. Such veneer is also called fine-line. In its production, thin layers of wood of tropical fast-growing species are used, which are painted individually and glued together in a stack. Has colors that are not typical of natural wood materials.
3. Ribbed glued. The material is thin wood sheets connected to each other along the edges with glue. Possesses good performance and long service life.

Doors made of natural veneer are rightly considered an excellent imitation and a complete replacement for doors made of solid wood. The layman may not even notice the difference.

The veneer differs in the method of cutting the workpiece, which can be produced at different angles and in different directions in relation to the growth rings: tangential, radial, tangential-end, semi-radial. The pattern on the cut surface will be different.

Eco-veneer

Eco-veneer is the finest fibers of natural wood, which are dyed individually, and then glued together in several layers using synthetic binders using the long-term pressing method. An interior door made of eco-veneer has a strong resemblance to natural veneer, but it costs much less. This material imitates various types of wood and allows you to make products of any shade, the colors of which will be exactly repeated in each batch. Eco-veneer can be called a multilayer plastic, characterized by abrasion resistance and increased impact resistance.

Types and characteristics

By the type of construction, veneered doors are divided into types:

• Hollow. The main part of such a door is a wooden (usually pine) glued frame with a cross section of 30x33 mm. Both sides of the frame are sheathed with 4 mm thick MDF panels, the voids between them are filled with expanded polystyrene or corrugated cardboard. Then a veneer is glued to both planes and ends. The design can be blind and with glass or stained glass inserts. The doors are lightweight and affordable, but have insufficient sound insulation.
• Corpulent. A whole canvas is assembled from a pine log in a single plane and glued using a hot press into a monolithic shield. Then it is pasted over with MDF and veneer. Due to the absence of internal cavities, full-bodied veneer doors have good heat-saving and sound-insulating qualities.

The thickness of the veneer used for pasting doors is 1-2 mm, sometimes 4 mm.

The main types of wood used

Different types of wood are used for veneer production. Preference is given to those that have an interesting texture. Among the most popular are the following valuable wood species:

1. Cherry (American). Quite expensive veneer, has characteristic shades of orange-red and reddish-brownish colors. Use wood in production original furniture.
2. Birch. Inexpensive material with poorly marked growth rings and common defects. Not resistant to moisture, but perfectly tinted. It is used for cladding interior doors.
3. White oak. Light brownish and sandy shades of veneer with characteristic small dotted inclusions. Oak veneer doors are characterized by increased strength and durability.
4. Karelian birch. A rather rare and expensive material, a rare plant. The wood is beige with a light mother-of-pearl tinge, dotted with curls, zigzags and various spots of dark brown tones.
5. Pine. The material has light and pale pinkish shades, resistant to fungus, but soft and not durable. It is used to get off economy class furniture.
6. Nut. All shades of brown with darker veins, maybe even slightly grayish. It is used for the manufacture of doors and furniture.
7. Makore (African tree). A variety of expensive mahogany wood with a smallish variegated or blurred texture. Makore veneer interior doors belong to the premium class.
8. Anegri (African tree). Valuable material with an indistinct pattern of uniform uniform brownish-sand and whitish-brown shades. Perfectly tinted and polished. The high quality of the veneer allows it to be used for interior decoration.
9. Bubingo (African tree). An unusual reddish-lilac decorative material. High quality veneer is characterized by high hardness and is used for cladding luxury furniture and doors.

These are not all types of wood that are used in the decoration of door leaves. On sale you can find products with veneer of rosewood, apple tree, tulipye, amaranth, teak, thuja, etc.

Cloth manufacturing technology

A veneer door can be produced using different technologies, depending on whether the product will be hollow or solid.

They are made according to the following scheme:

1. A frame is assembled from pine blocks, which have a moisture content of no higher than 8%. If this indicator is higher, then drying out and deformation of the material with the appearance of cracks is possible.
2. One side is sewn up with MDF sheet (4 mm).
3. In the resulting cavity, a filler is laid out - cellular cardboard or expanded polystyrene.
4. The other side is also hemmed with MDF sheet.
5. The veneer is selected by color and pattern, while it is necessary to achieve its symmetry.
6. Veneer sheets are laid out with a margin for the size of the canvas and placed in a machine in which the blanks are glued to each other using a zigzag glue thread.
7. After covering with veneer, the remaining glue is removed from the workpiece, cleaned at the seams and accurately adjusted to size.
8. The veneer is glued to the door.
9. A layer of varnish is applied to the veneer sheet to protect it from environmental influences.

Veneered interior canvases can be made in full-bodied version. In this case, not the frame is assembled, but the whole canvas. The collected bars are placed under a hot press and firmly glued into a monolithic shield.

The metal door can also be finished with veneer. MDF panels are attached to the metal with self-tapping screws, and then applied decorative coating.

The veneer covering is glued in 3 methods:

• Cold pressing. PVA glue is applied to the front surfaces of the blanks and placed under a press. Bonding is carried out at a temperature of + 30 ... + 35 ° C. Then the ends are pasted over. After the glue has completely dried and hardened, the dried residues are removed, then all surfaces are sanded.
• Hot pressing. The coating is glued using formaldehyde-containing adhesives at temperatures above + 100 ° C.
• Membrane vacuum. A special press allows you to veneer not only flat surfaces, but also embossed ones.

Veneered doors

Veneered doors have become in demand, because repairs in any style cannot do without replacing them. Such doors have found application in residential apartments and houses, as well as in office premises... Veneering is a technology that allows you to implement a variety of design ideas and make a door leaf that can be perfectly combined with any interior. The veneer repeats the textures of precious woods in various colors and shades, each product is always individual and looks exquisite.

A veneered door - what it is, many do not know. How to choose the right one, taking into account all the pros and cons - this issue should be understood thoroughly. The door leaf should not only be combined with the interior, but also be of high quality. Not all manufacturers are responsible enough for their business and there are many low-grade products on the market.

Advantages and disadvantages

If you decide to purchase veneered doors, the pros and cons of this material need to be studied. TO positive qualities relate:

1. expensive and sophisticated appearance;
2. naturalness, safety and environmental friendliness common to all wooden products;
3. good wear resistance due to protective coating;
4. resistance to fading under the influence of ultraviolet radiation;
5. moisture resistance, which is provided by a high-quality protective varnish;
6. a wide range of door designs;
7. light weight compared to wooden canvases;
8. long service life (10-15 years);
9. the possibility of carrying out restoration work;
10. ease of care;
11. reasonable cost, especially when compared with solid wood doors.

Among the disadvantages are the following characteristics:

• it is difficult to find several products with the same texture;
• veneered doors are sensitive to high humidity and are not recommended to be installed in the bathroom.

How to choose a quality door

When it is clear what a veneered door is, there should be no problems with the choice. There are several guidelines to follow:

1. Buy only from a reliable and popular manufacturer that specializes in this product.
2. Carefully examine the canvases on both sides for a complete match of texture and pattern. In natural veneer, they may be similar, but they never repeat. If the drawing is a little blurry, then this should be alarming. Most likely, they used low quality wood, and defects are masked with tinted varnish.
3. The lacquer coating must be even and smooth, free of cracks, cavities and bubbles.
4. A veneered door should not smell harsh and unpleasant. A persistent chemical smell indicates that a cheap primer or low-quality varnish was used in the manufacture.
5. Inspect all ends carefully. The cover must be adhered securely and evenly, without bubbles or voids. When lightly prying with a fingernail, the veneer should not come off. No glue residues at the joints are allowed.
6. Rate geometry door frame and canvases. If a curvature is noticeable along the end line, then the tree was poorly dried, and in the future the door will be deformed.
7. If the door is with glass, then you should check the reliability of its fastening (you can shake it).

Care features

Competent care of veneered doors is carried out according to the following rules:

• use specialized care products that work with natural wood;
• wipe off dust not with a dry cloth, but with a product containing beeswax;
• do not use hard brushes and abrasive substances;
• take into account the location of the doors in the interior and prevent prolonged exposure to direct sun rays, since the veneer may fade;
• at high humidity, it is necessary to additionally process the door leaf with a special polish;
• do not allow large amounts of water to enter the surface of the product;
• use wax polishes with dust-repellent and antistatic properties;
• the doors should be looked after with soft microfiber cloths.

Installation and replacement

Installation and replacement of doors requires some skill. But this can be done with your own hands if you have the desire and patience. The technology is simple:

1. Dismantle the old door leaf and frame.
2. Measure the doorway and frame, then install another frame.
3. Apply the markings, and then fix the hinges with self-tapping screws.
4. Hang the canvas on the hinges and adjust the opening.
5. Finally, fix the kolobok in the opening, after removing the canvas.
6. Put the canvas back in place.
7. Fasten the cashing with decorative nails.
8. Install the handle.

Restoration

Performance characteristics veneered doors allow you to carry out small restoration work yourself. Furniture varnish to match or transparent, as well as polish, you can paint over shallow scratches and scuffs. In the presence of major defects, you will need to completely remove the protective varnish, grind, then paint and re-varnish. It is better to entrust this work to professionals.

Veneered doors are the undisputed sales leader in the interior doors segment. The veneer finish gives the door structures a presentable look, while they are relatively lightweight and have excellent functional characteristics. Veneered doors are easy to choose for any style of interior, manufacturers offer the widest range of doors various designs and colors.

What is veneer?

In building stores and specialized salons, a wide assortment of interior doors made of eco-veneer is offered at prices that are quite affordable for the vast majority of buyers. There are several types of eco-veneer: the most common is polypropylene film; artificial facing materials higher class, for example, nano-flex veneer. The nano-flex covering is made of high-strength Japanese parchment, which is covered with durable polymer coating and a double layer of protective varnish. On the surface of nano-flex veneer, glossy and matt areas alternate, which creates a visual three-dimensional effect. To the touch, this material is identical to natural veneer - it is soft and velvety.

Polypropylene eco-veneer is produced by pressing a mixture of natural wood fibers and polypropylene. Outwardly, it looks almost indistinguishable from a natural veneer coating.

Advantages and disadvantages of eco-veneer

Comparing with each other natural veneer and eco-veneer, there are three main advantages of artificial turf:

• aesthetic appearance;
• high wear resistance;
• democratic cost.

Eco-veneer with 100% accuracy reproduces the natural cut of wood - both in texture and in colors, it is practically indistinguishable from a natural finish. Artificial veneer is resistant to abrasion and other mechanical stress. It does not change color during use, does not flake or crack under conditions high humidity and temperature drops.

Another advantage of the nano-flex type eco-veneer is its environmental friendliness and hypoallergenicity, it contains no chlorine, heavy metals and formaldehyde. Caring for doors made of eco-veneer is as easy and simple as possible, they can even be washed with the use of detergents.

The eco-veneer doors also have a number of disadvantages. Such a door leaf cannot be repaired in case of severe mechanical damage. And most importantly, eco-veneer is a material of artificial origin.

Advantages and disadvantages of natural veneer

Buy veneered interior doors are a worthy alternative to solid wood products. Among their advantages:

• presentable view, indistinguishable from analogs from the array;
• the uniqueness of the design of each canvas;
• naturalness of the material;
• maintainability.

However, products with natural veneer have a higher cost, and also require gentle care with the use of special products.

Which doors to stop at - each buyer solves this problem, based on his personal preferences and, of course, the budget allocated for repairs. Prices for interior doors made of eco-veneer are low, so this solution is available even to buyers with a limited budget for repairs. After all, the price of door leaves with artificial veneer is significantly lower than analogs with a natural coating, and, moreover, solid wood doors.

Doors in natural veneer are more expensive, while they are not only as environmentally friendly as possible, but also have a noble natural pattern and lively energy.
