I've used your veneers several times and I'm very satisfied.

Here's my question:  I want to cover a wooden (painted) surface above my fireplace, 70" wide x 6' tall.  If I order 2 sheets of veneer, can I match them side by side to get the 70" width?

Donald

Hello Donald,

Unless you order your veneer sheets "matched and sequenced", there's a good chance that they won't  be identical in grain and color tone.  If you are looking for identcal patterns and colors from one sheet to the next, the only way to guarantee this is to order your veneer matched and sequencd.  We would have to quote this, as it would be a custom order.

Bob Morgan

Mr. Morgan,

I have a client that is looking at wrapping 12' long beams in his living room with wood veneer.  The beams are currently painted MDF beams.  He is worried that the peel and stick would degrade or let loose due to the heat in the vaulted ceiling, and needs some reassurance that it will not.  I have used the peel and stick veneers for cabinets and I'm really pleased with the results.  (My custmers are too!).

But: they aren't subjected to that amount of extra heat.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  The beams are roughly 135" long, so the 12' stock would be preferable  Thank you!

Michael

Hello Michael,

I don't have any experience with this exact situation with the concrns about heat,  but I so believe tha the peel and stick adhesive would hold up.  I've had customers who have used the peel and stick veneers in the interiors of their vehicles and I've never had any complaints.  And, I have had customers who have veneered the beams in their ceilings with good results - but nobody mentioned any concerns about heat.

The 12' veneers don't come with the psa adhesive.  The psa adhesive onlhy comes with the 8' and 10' veneers - either paper backed or wood backed.  

If you want to use the peel and stick adhesive, it is available with the 8' and 10' long veneers.  You can get the 8'and 10' veneers with the psa on a paper backer or a wood backer.

However, if you match your veneer end to end, You CAN use the 8' veneers with the peel and stick adhesive.  Here's how:  You need to make an end match joint.  Our veneer sheets are made up of identically matching leaves.  If you cut out 2  strips (leaves) of veneer from the 4' x 8' sheet, you can match them end to end by rotating one of the strips 180 degrees.  The end matching joint will have matching grains that make a mirror image.  

Regards, Bob Morgan

Hi Bob,

Can you supply me with an extra long sheet of veneer, 16 feet to 24 feet long?

Paul

Hi Paul,

Our veneers come in 8', 10', and 12' lengths. But there is a way that you can join the veneer end to end to get longer lengths without having a noticeable seam at the joint.

Most of our veneer sheets are made using book matched components.  You can cut the veneer sheet down the middle going the long direction. Then, take one of the halves, rotate it 180 degrees, and match thegrains end to end. The grain patterns will closely match into each other and this will make the end joint less noticeable.

Good Afternoon! I saw your website online and want to purchase real wood veneer for our home front door. 

Our front door is made up of real wood and it has lots of knots.    But I am not sure the type of the wood. I think it might be knotty alder because of its knots.

The bottom portion of the front door is severely damaged due to harsh sun and rain and the top layer is peeling off and I want to fix it with real wood veneer.

So I need your advice before purchasing whether a knotty alder veneer sheet (3/64" wood backed) is good or not. 

Would a wood backed knotty alder veneer sheet be a good choice?   Or do you recommend something else?

I need your advice. 

Please let me know.   So that I can purchase from you.   I am sending the photos of the front door.

Thank you,

Helen

Hi Helen,

Thank you for your email and your photos.

Right off the bat, I'm going to tell you that this project is fraught with danger. 

You mentioned heavy exposure to sunlight and rain and the elements.   That's a tough environment for a door (or any wood product).

I wish that I could tell you that you could re veneer your exterior door and that you would be thrilled with the results. 

But:   Even as much as I'd love to supply the veneer for this project,   I cannot guarantee that you would have a good outcome.

If you proceed with this project, I recommend that you use the 2 ply wood backed veneer or the 2 ply wood backed veneer with PSA adhesive (check the links below and also check out the tutorials and videos on my 2 websites).

I've had several customers who have re veneered their front doors, and I've never received any complaints.  That’s all well and good, but veneering an exterior door that is exposed to the elements still gives me pause.

I'm not sure what the veneer species on your door is.   It looks like a rift white oak with "fake" graining, or perhaps a "tiger Oak" veneer.     Fake graining is a technique that an artisan uses to add grain figures to the wooden surface. 

The fake grain technique was used extensively in the '30s -- not so much today. 

The wooden surface of your exterior door is heavily stained.   If you intend to keep the color the same, you will probably need to stain the new veneer to match the existing color.

Quick question for you - does peel and stick veneer still require a balance veneer on the other side?   For reference, this is a roughly 3'x5' panel of 3/4" MDF that I plan to veneer with the wood backed peel and stick curly maple.   I also live in a low humidity area so I'm wondering if I can get away without a backer. Thanks!

Charles

Hi Charles,

You should back up the substrate with a similar (can be cheaper) veneer.    Always.  

But, many people don't do it and they get away with it.

If your panel is free standing, you should back it up with a backer veneer for sure.  If the panel will be held down to a frame, you can probably veneer only the top surface without problems. 

I don't recommend this, but I admit that I've seen lots of veneering projects that utilized the shortcut of veneering only one side of a panel without incurring any problems.

Will I have good results if I apply veneer to a sheet of exterior plywood and mount it to an exterior door?   I don't have access to a vacuum bag, so I'll have to use contact cement or a peel and stick veneer.

Sammy T.

Hello Sammy,

The short answer is "I don't know".

 If you were using a waterproof glue, such as titebond 3, and applying veneer to both sides of the plywood using a vacuum bag, you would probably have a good outcome. 

This isn't practical for you, so you will have to try other means for your veneering project.

I think that your next choice could be to use a 2 ply wood backed veneer with a peel and stick adhesive.   Be sure to varnish the veneer after you apply it.   Use at least 2 coats.   You will need to re varnish the surface every 2 or 3 years. 

Substrates, such as plywood can expand and contract due to environmental conditions.    The larger the surface, the more the problem.   Even though exterior plywood is made using waterproof glue, it can still expand and contract. 

You can mitigate this by applying paint to both sides.   The peel and stick veneer will stick well to a painted surface that is smooth and clean. 

You should apply your veneer to both sides of the plywood to stabilize and balance the stresses in the sheet.    This is particularly important if the environmental conditions are in flux, and if the substrate is large. 

You will need to mount the plywood to the door in a very secure fashion - probably screwing it to the door with a liberal amount of screws.   

That's my best advice. No guarantees. Good luck!

Their is a rectangular piece of ash in the middle of the table with a routed trim that outlines it.   There are 4, 3-4 inch wide piece of ash veneer to look make it look like trim boards that outline the middle.

Hello Charles,

Our veneers come in standard size sheets that are 24" x 96" and 48" x 96".    Sheets are available up to 5 ft. wide and 12' long.    We roll our sheets into a cylinder and ship them in a box.

we need to replace two exterior door veneers that are peeling and beyond repair. Wondering what veneer product you would recommend? Would the thickness of the previous veneer matter? We may end up painting the veneer - so I was thinking either red oak if we use an exterior urethane or something maple equivalent if we paint.

And do you recommend Titebond 3 for adhering the veneer?
James

Wood Veneer Factory Outlet.com
https://wood-veneer-factory-outlet.com/

Hi James,

Titebond 3 is a great choice, and probably one of the best all around choices for exterior projects.  However, unless you have a way to clamp the surface all over everywhere, such as a vacuum bag, it won't be possible to use this.

Your next choice would be to  go with our 2 ply wood backed peel and stick veneer. Be sure to prep the surface as described in my videos and tutorials.

Having said that - I cannot guarantee how the 2 ply wood backed peel and stick veneer will hold up in an exterior area.  It depends on lots of factors, humidity, temperature, sun exposure, exposure to rain, finish.  You are in no man's land.
Thickness won't matter unless the door is so tight that it would crimp the veneer.   If so, you could go with the paper backed peel and stick veneer, but the paper backed wouldn't be my first choice.  
Yes, Red Oak veneer is a good choice for your doors if you put a finish on it.    The maple veneer is your best choice if you will paint it.

I've placed previous orders with you and been very pleased  I'm now trying to do a run of white oak veneer (preferably rift cut) wrapped over a beam. It's a total of about 35 foot run (423 inches).   Is it possible to longer than 8 foot lengths, or to sequence match along the length (for multiple lengths)?

Here's the product that I'm leaning towards, yet with customization as described above:   https://www.veneer-factory-outlet.com/rift-white-oak-veneer-sheets-savings/

Looking forward to hearing from you, Charles

 

Hi  Charles,

Yes, we can make sequence matched sheets of the rift white oak veneer.   This would be a custom order and I would have to quote this to you.

The least expensive way to go would be the 4’ x 8’ sheets of the rift white oak veneer.

If you would like a quote on the sequence matched sheets, let me know and I will get you a quote.  I will need to know:

        Quantity

        Paper backed or wood backed?

        With or without PSA peel and stick adhesive?

I've placed previous orders with you and been very pleased  I'm now trying to do a run of white oak veneer (preferably rift cut) wrapped over a beam. It's a total of about 35 foot run (423 inches).   Is it possible to longer than 8 foot lengths, or to sequence match along the length (for multiple lengths)?

Here's the product that I'm leaning towards, yet with customization as described above:   https://www.veneer-factory-outlet.com/rift-white-oak-veneer-sheets-savings/

Looking forward to hearing from you, Charles

 

Hi  Charles,

Yes, we can make sequence matched sheets of the rift white oak veneer.   This would be a custom order and I would have to quote this to you.

The least expensive way to go would be the 4’ x 8’ sheets of the rift white oak veneer.

If you would like a quote on the sequence matched sheets, let me know and I will get you a quote.  I will need to know:

        Quantity

        Paper backed or wood backed?

        With or without PSA peel and stick adhesive?

Regards,

Bob Morgan, pres.

Based on the attached picture, what species of veneer wood should I select?

I would also welcome a suggestion on stain color. Thank you! Ruth DeLange

A.   This looks like rift white oak that has been stained to a brownish red color. https://store-958hs2yz.mybigcommerce.com/manage/dashboard

The trick is going to be to get the color that you want.    Get some oil based stain or solvent based stain at Home Depot or Lowes. 

Be aware that almost always, the color swatches that the manufacturer illustrates on the can or a color board, are lighter than when the stain is applied to the veneer.   You will need to get a couple of stains that you can mix together in various amounts to come up with the color that you want. 

Do some testing on a scrap sheet of veneer.   Be sure to apply a finish to your test piece too, as a finish can change the color and tone.

Brushed white oak veneer.]]> https://www.veneer-factory-outlet.com/blog/can-i-get-a-brushed-white-oak-texture-on-white-oak-veneer-brushed-white-oak-veneer/ Sat, 22 Apr 2023 14:45:15 +0000 https://www.veneer-factory-outlet.com/blog/can-i-get-a-brushed-white-oak-texture-on-white-oak-veneer-brushed-white-oak-veneer/ Hi Bob Morgan,

I want to get a brushed oak appearance on your white oak veneer.  Is this possible?  Will the oak veneer be able to withstand the brushing process?  Steve

A. Steve, The short answer is: "I don't know".  I've never had a customer who actually applied a wire brush to the veneer.   I think you could use a wire brush on veneer, but only if you were very very careful not to go through the veneer itself.   And of course, the coarser the brush, the more chance of it going through the veneer.   I think your best bet is to experiment on some veneer w a wire brush and see what happens.
