veneer methods

Popular lay-ons

Once the sheets of veneer have been cut they are assembled to produce lay-ons

The most popular patterns are shown here but the designer has unlimited scope, as illustrated on the bespoke veneer page. Lay-on patterns can be repeated over pairs of doors, overpanels and side panels. We can advise on the best method of achieving particular visual effects.

Book matched
Two adjacent sheets, as cut from the flitch, are placed next to each other and one is turned over to create a mirror image. This can be repeated over the door and used to create a central focus.

Consecutively laid (slip matched)
The lay-on is assembled across the face of the door using adjacent sheets as cut from the flitch. Sheets are consecutively laid next to each other in the same order and with the same face outward resulting in a planked effect.

Centre jointed
Equal numbers of sheets are used working outwards from the centre line of the door in width. Sheets are selected so that the left half of the door matches the right half, resulting in a mirror image. Alternatively adjacent sheets can be consecutively laid.

  Centre jointed
 

Centred feature
An unequal number of sheets is used and the central veneer is usually selected for its striking appearance. To emphasise its focal position the remaining sheets can be laid so that those on the left half mirror those on the right half. Alternatively adjacent sheets can be consecutively laid.

Quartered
The veneers are laid reversed about two axes so that a mirror image is created in both width and height. Sheets can be cut and arranged to give a centred feature. All veneered doors have hardwood lippings to both vertical edges, softened with a 3mm radius, or alternatively to all 4 edges. These can either be exposed or concealed as required. Lippings are selected to colour match either the veneer or frame.
