Architectural panels

Sequence-matched panels, or made to your drawings

For architectural and high-end millwork projects, we manufacture panels to drawings specifying dimensions and grain direction, or sequence-matched so the pattern carries from one panel to the next.

Drawings and sequences

Panels sequence-matched or made to drawings specifying dimensions and grain direction.

Matches and patterns

A wide range of veneer matches, custom patterns and special patterns, for a result unique to each project.

Up to 5 × 12 ft

Large formats for walls, cladding and counters: fewer joints, more grain continuity.

Veneer coordination

One veneer coordinated across panels, doors and acoustic elements, for a cohesive result.

See also our custom veneered panels, flexible wood veneer and wood veneer edge banding. For sequence-matched or made-to-drawing panels, see architectural wood panels.

Finishing Problems: A Diagnostic Preview

The handbook given to every participant of the seminar "Wood Veneers — From the Tree to the Sheet" covers 27 finishing problems encountered in the workshop, each with its cause and solution. Here's a preview.

01

Visible veneer joints after varnishing

!
Cause

The varnish swells the fibers on either side of the joint, making the seam visible.

✓
Solution

Cross-sanding G150–G220, applying a pore filler before varnishing, or using a hardening sealer.

02

Telegraphing effect

!
Cause

Substrate irregularities (MDF, particleboard) show through the thin veneer after gluing.

✓
Solution

Check substrate flatness before gluing, use a veneer of sufficient thickness (min. 0.6 mm), apply a hardening sealer.

03

Unfilled open pores

!
Cause

Large-pored species (oak, ash, wenge) leave craters after varnishing.

✓
Solution

Apply a pore filler, sand between coats G320–G400, repeat until the surface is closed.

04

Grain raising

!
Cause

Fibers stand up after the first coat of water-based varnish or stain.

✓
Solution

Lightly dampen the panel with water, let dry, sand G220–G280 before applying the final finish.

05

Visible putty marks

!
Cause

Repair putty absorbs stain or varnish differently.

✓
Solution

Use a compatible stainable putty, apply stain before puttying, or choose a non-porous putty for clear finishes.

22 more problems await — with their complete solutions. Blotching, fish eyes, blistering, varnish yellowing and more, in the 75-page handbook given to each participant.
