Today for the manufacture of interior doors,Different furniture and other interior items use a variety of veneer types. The material has become very popular. But for some reason, manufacturers and experienced designers distinguish precisely fayn-line (veneer). What it is? How does this material differ from previous types? What features is he endowed with? All this we will understand the article.
What is this material and how does it differ from ordinary veneer?
Fine-line is considered excellent, high-tech.analogue of the usual varieties of material. It is made from softwood. It has a more reasonable cost. Outwardly very similar to plastic fayn-line. Veneer, despite this, is an absolutely natural material. At the same time all positive properties of a natural product are inherent in it. Fine-line (veneer) is a thin plate of natural wood of inexpensive and fast-growing species. The material is painted in a variety of colors, so it can imitate even expensive and noble varieties of natural wood. Most often, this type is used for finishing furniture, coating doors and various interior surfaces.
Technology
Going to a furniture store for shopping,you need to be prepared for the fact that most of the range is made of a material called fine-line (veneer). Far from every seller knows what it is and how it was made. Therefore, in order to properly assess the quality of products, you should independently become familiar with the production technology. So, in the process of making fine-line, logs are cut into longitudinal sheets. After that give them the necessary shape and size. Then the material is dried, sorted by color and sent for painting.
Veneer sheets are immersed in special containers.In them there is a painting solution, as a result of which the material is painted as evenly as possible. Sheets having the same fiber direction are folded in a stack. They are coated with a special adhesive. After that, the material is sent under the press, where it is processed under high pressure. From the resulting block make ultrafine veneer sheets. As a result, the resulting material is 92% natural wood. And only 8% is glue and coloring matter.
Material advantages
Veneer, produced by Fayn technology, in comparison with other types has a lot of advantages:
- Virtually no damage to the environment, as it is made from the simplest species of wood. They have time to recover their population in a short time.
- It has a perfect look. On it are completely absent knots and roughness. Sheets do not differ from each other in color.
- On such material it is easy to depict various patterns, the structure of expensive wood, stone and the most diverse and complex drawings.
- Sheets have good elasticity. Because of this, they can be used to decorate three-dimensional parts, columns and other items that have an uneven surface.
- The use of cheap wood makes the material economical and more affordable than other types of veneer and real wood.
- This veneer is not afraid of temperature changes. It can be used in rooms with high humidity.
- The material has a rich color range.
What else is good online? Do-it-yourself veneer, at home, can be glued to any surface.
Disadvantages of the material
Due to the use of softwoodmaterial can not be called durable. It turns out rather fragile and unstable to mechanical damages. To increase its durability, the surface of the veneer is covered with several layers of varnish. Because of this, there is a greater likelihood of cracks. Therefore, in cases where it is necessary to ensure high durability of the coating, it is not recommended to use online. Veneer in this case may disappoint you. It should also be noted that the presence of glue and dye does not allow to speak about 100% of the naturalness of the material. Although their concentration in the composition of the fine-line is minimal, they slightly spoil the ecological compatibility of wood.
Application
The scope of application of the online line is quite wide.It is actively used in the manufacture of furniture, musical instruments, wall panels and a variety of household items. Very often, the material is used as a decorating element for creating designer interiors. For the manufacture of flooring is also often used fine-line (veneer). Doors covered with this material have gained immense popularity. They are distinguished by smoothness, variety of colors and at the same time they have a democratic value.
Glued veneer can both cold and hotin a way. In the first embodiment, the most common PVA glue is used. This method is the most preferred, as it is considered the most secure. When hot gluing is used more complex formulations containing formaldehyde. They make less safe both the products themselves and the online (veneer). What it is and how to work with such glue can be understood by reading its instructions.
For processing complex and textured surfacesIt is recommended to pre-moisten the material in order to better take the necessary shape. From above fine-line it is possible to cover with any varnish. This may be acrylic, polyurethane, polyester or a water-based substance. In order for the veneer not to lose its color in the process of pasting surfaces, it is recommended that the glue be tinted to the color of the material itself.
Conclusion
In this article we talked about fine-line (veneer),what it is. Ease of manufacture and efficiency make it extremely popular in our time. The cost per square meter of the online line ranges from 160 to 700 rubles. The price depends on the texture and complexity of the picture. Despite the fact that the material is much cheaper than natural veneer, it is much better than its “brother” in many respects.
It should be noted that of all types of coatings,made of natural wood, moisture resistance can only boast of fine-line (veneer). Feedback from experts about this material suggests that structures covered with it, unlike real wood, have a longer service life. This is due to the fact that this type of veneer is not prone to deformation. Buyers also note that it is devoid of natural defects and retains its original appearance for a long time.
