Veneer: real wood on a stable board
Decorative veneer is a thin slice of real wood, cut from a log and pasted onto plywood or MDF. After polishing, it shows the natural grain, colour and figure of the wood, giving furniture a solid-wood look at a fraction of the cost and without the warping of solid timber.
Because every veneer comes from a real tree, no two sheets are identical. That is its charm, and the reason to choose your sheets in person.

Choosing and buying veneer
- Select the actual sheets, not just a sample. Grain and shade vary from sheet to sheet.
- Buy enough from the same lot for the whole job, including a spare. A sheet from another lot may not match.
- Plan the layout with your carpenter: the grain direction should run the same way across shutters that sit side by side.
- Paste on both sides of a door or shutter (veneer outside, a balancing sheet inside) so it stays flat.
- Budget for polish. Veneer is unfinished; the polish is what protects it.

Frequently asked questions
Veneer or laminate: which is better?
Veneer is real wood and looks richer after polish, but needs finishing and care. Laminate is tougher, ready-finished and easier to maintain.
Can I see veneer samples before buying?
Yes, visit our Alipur store to see the sheets in person before you decide.
How long does a veneer finish last?
With a good PU or melamine polish and normal care, a veneered surface lasts many years. It can be re-polished later, which laminate can't.
Can veneer be used in a kitchen?
It can on wall cabinets and panels away from water and heat, with a durable PU polish. Near the sink and hob, laminate is easier to keep.
