Standard Veneer Door

In woodworking, veneer refers to thin slices of wood, usually thinner than 3 mm (1/8 inch), that typically are glued onto core panels (typically, wood, particle board or medium-density fiberboard) to produce flat panels such as doors, tops and panels for cabinets, parquet floors and parts of furniture. 
Most frequently veneer in repair-building sphere can be found in door production. What door is better to choose: of veneer or laminate? Such a problem of choosing is always faced by everyone who decides to renew the apartment with his own hands. It should be said immediately that solid wood is used for the frame of both types of doors, this solid wood is usually attached to MDF boards, so, the difference between them is only in the top finishing layer. Veneer is a natural material; therefore, the color and texture of door panels made of it are traditional, natural and noble, in contrast to laminate. These doors look gorgeous in a classic interior. Laminated panels, for its part, covered by an artificial material – laminating membrane applied to MDF, which is less environmentally friendly. Nevertheless, laminated products absolutely do not limit the wild flights of designer’s imagination, because they can be of any desired color and texture. Therefore, the choice of laminated or veneered surface depends only on the preferences of the consumer.
