Solid Wood Veneers | Magnewood Wood Veneers

Our Solid Wood Veneers quality takes top priority. We hand select only well manufactured tight cut veneers. Tight cut veneers are defined as veneers with shallow lathe cracks and we pick only the tightest cut portions of the production run. Buyers take for granted that wood is all the same but in fact there is a difference from one piece or batch to the next. The better quality the wood the better and more stable the final product.

The moisture content of the veneer at pre-production and during production is thought to be one of the most critical pieces to the puzzle when it comes to long lasting failure proof engineered hardwood flooring.

Our manufacturing process only uses saw cut veneer instead of rotary cut veneer because often times rotary cut uses moisture to ease in the production of these veneers.

MAGNEWOOD only uses plain sawn or quarter sawn lumber!!! The veneer should have a critical moisture content of 6% at the time of pressing and some veneevrs may require re-drying at the time of pressing to flatten them out. Our Solid Wood Veneers are critically controlled in a stable 6% environment all the time and its this step that some say is the critical link in controlling facial checking failures.

Core base construction is critical step in the production. Because our competitors use wood or plywood base construction there are important steps that must be taken to ensure that the bond between veneer and base is very strong. The moisture of the base should equal the moisture of the veneer and the fibers of the traditional base must run perpendicular to the direction of the grain in the veneer otherwise facial checking failures will surely result.

Our MAGNEWOOD does not have these issues at this step because the base is a core of stone/wood pulp composite and therefore is extremely stable. There are no directional grains to worry about and thus this step provides us the added security that our final product will be flawless.

We use no water in our glue like some engineer flooring manufacturers and thus eliminate the added worries of a outside moisture source entering into the production process.

We only use hot presses and thus reduce again the amount of water moisture that is allowed to enter the production. Also, at post production we store our pressed planks in a climate controlled air conditioned environment for 3 days to allow the boards to enter equilibrium.

Solid Wood Veneers are actually 2.5 mm's and 4.5 mm's at post press production and thus have to be sanded to remove the .5 mm from the surface.
This process removes whatever lathe checks that remain after production to ensure a tight veneer wood surface.

All our production is wrapped in plastic and boxed to help reduce the infiltration of moisture at all points after our flooring leaves the factory.

There is no step that is overlooked during and after the production process securing our goal of being the best manufacturer of the most worry free flooring in the industry!!
