A sophisticated look with Mystique by Greenlam.

Wood veneer has been showcased nearly everywhere — it’s a versatile material that has grown in popularity in recent years, as designers and savvy consumers are attracted to natural materials.

Each species of wood throughout the world has its own unique colour, grain pattern and even scent. The final appearance of wood depends on how it is sliced or cut, and staining can alter its colour and the depth of the grain. Protective layers can be added with a polyurethane coating, which can also add a shine to the surface. Timber has been used for the framing of houses, external cladding and joinery in traditional construction for many years, but it has also been used in interiors as a major decorative element.

Wood is versatile and used for wood flooring, timber wall panelling, solid or timber veneer doors, skirtings, mouldings, window joinery, kitchen joinery and, of course, furniture. The look of wood can transform virtually any room in your home or office. In residential design, natural wood veneer wall covering can create an exclusive space to suit your needs and add a touch of class.
