Engineered Renewable Veneers

Wood Fiber is farmed, harvested and replicated into wood veneers

Farmed on managed forestry land, these operations produce wood fiber using and up-to-date environmental techniques in the production of the final product. As seen in the gallery of Treefrog images, in some applications these veneers can actually exceed the beauty of the real species they replicate!

There is no doubt, these veneers really can be prettier than the real thing! It’s very civilized, even and uniform across the board, or wall and throughout the project. The quality and consistency of the veneers is the basis for their place in the line-up of preferred materials used in the abaico workshop. They also operate environmentally responsibly in the local environment so we offer the complete line of their beautiful, exotic real wood (composite or reconstituted/‘recon’) veneers.

The Italian manufacturer used by Treefrog, (the supplier of the final product to workshops like abaico), has instituted an environmental policy aimed at the preservation of raw material resources in every stage of production. Sustainable forestry is practiced using SGS-certified plantation grown Italian Poplar, which guarantees it is an ecological product. The West African Ayou trees are managed in a forestry plan that achieves the lowest possible environmental impact there.

Other production cycle components are eco-friendly and they have a record of only using water based dyes and stains free of chrome and other heavy metals are used. All adhesives used are below already stringent European limits for formaldehyde emissions.
