Veneer from Austria
Veneers are 0.3-2.5mm thin layers of wood. Pure wood. Veneers are considered the thinnest solid wood in the world.
Veneer production
Veneer can be produced in various ways.
We want to show you the classic production process.
For veneer production, logs must first be purchased. Emphasis is placed on the logs coming from sustainably managed and regional sources. Areas in the Waldviertel, the Vienna Woods, and the beautiful Alpine region are especially suitable for veneers from Austria.
Wood is mostly purchased in winter because the forest floors are frozen and can be harvested most gently for flora and fauna. To preserve the invaluable value of the wood resource, the logs are conserved with water over the warm summer months, which is always in its own cycle.
Thus, storage forms the first step of production.
Another step is removing the bark. Because stones and dirt are found in the bark, which would damage the sensitive veneer production machines.
After debarking, the logs are roughly cut.
The next step is already cutting the logs into
veneer.
Various techniques can be used here. The most resource-efficient technique is veneer production with a veneer knife machine. Thin, 0.3-2.5mm wood veneers are cut from a log with sharp knives without producing sawdust. This results in maximum utilization of the sustainable resource wood. This technique allows up to 1000m² of veneer to be produced from one cubic meter of wood.
The thin wood veneers from Austria are then gently dried and cut.
The noble and elegant natural material simply must be appreciated.
And they can be further processed in a variety of ways.
