Businesses in this category supply wood veneer sheets and plywood for furniture making, joinery, cabinetry, interior fit-outs and other woodworking projects. Veneer is a thin layer of timber, commonly sold in sheets or leaves, that can be applied to a core material to give it the appearance of solid wood. It is available in different species, grain patterns, cuts, thicknesses and finishes, with options suited to decorative surfaces, repairs and specialist woodworking. Plywood is made by bonding layers of wood veneer together, usually with the grain of neighbouring layers arranged at right angles to improve strength and stability. Suppliers may offer different grades, panel sizes, thicknesses and face veneers for uses such as furniture, flooring, wall panelling, construction and packaging. Some also stock flexible or pre-finished panels, edging materials, adhesives and related board products, and may provide cutting or machining services.
