Bestwood Veneer
Description

Bring the natural richness of real wood to an interior project by combining the warmth and beauty of real timber with the flexibility and practicality of a Bestwood Veneer. It's a naturally better choice for residential, commercial, shop fitting or hospitality furniture.

With the natural variations in colour, grain and markings, each sheet of Bestwood Natural Veneer is different with its own unique characteristics — just like a human fingerprint. 

Bestwood Evoake™ veneer panels provide a standard, repeatable layon for both crown and quarter cut options. With virtually identical layons, matching panels is easy and minimises waste. You can consistently stain Evoake™ panels to any colour you choose, or clear-coat to bring out the natural beauty of the oak structure. 

Bestwood Veneer sheets are hand-selected with great care and pressed onto panels in New Zealand from sustainably sourced timber. Bestwood Veneers carry Environmental Choice NZ accreditation when used on MDF substrates of 9mm or above, giving assurance that this New Zealand-made product leaves a minimal environmental footprint.

Bestwood's New Zealand native timber veneer is all sustainably sourced and can be tracked back to the trees they came from using the 'Track my Tree' code, supplied when veneer panels are sold.
