As implied above, the term “veneer” refers to the thin slices of wood or bark. The woodworking process involves glueing one or multiple layers of those slices onto core panels, typically made of wood, chipboard or MDF. The result is a flat panel, e.g., a parquet floor, a cabinet panel, or a door. Some popular uses of veneer include plywood – a material that consists of three or more layers of veneer glued together adjacently at 90 degrees for better strength. There’s also veneer beading – a decorative method of edging various objects such as jewellery boxes.
These days, veneer door is a popular choice amongst homeowners when choosing between the many different types of doors during the renovation.
