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