Pre-Finished Plywood

What is prefinished veneer plywood

Pre-Finished veneered plywood, a pioneering invention in the woodworking industry, is challenging traditional woodworking craftsmanship with its "manufactured in the workshop, quick installation onsite" approach. As the name suggests, these boards are produced by adhering a thin layer of wood veneer onto a substrate and finishing the surface with UV coating— a mixture of oil and wax that penetrates the wood surface. This composition provides internal protection, while the wax forms an elastic, microporous surface protecting the board from moisture and wear.
Compared to solely veneered or coated boards, Pre-Finished veneered plywood holds significant advantages. The paint on its surface is bright and glossy and adds a layer of protection to the veneer. But, unlike plain coated boards, veneered plywood retains the natural grain and beauty of the wood, exuding a return to nature's charm.
The convenience and speed of the Pre-Finished Veneered Plywood installation have made it a favorite among consumers and brought fresh perspectives for board manufacturers. Many manufacturers have started to produce this type of coated boards, and over time, large-scale production has matured with a steady increase in product quality.

Advantages of  Pre-Finished Veneered Plywood

Convenience and environmental friendliness stand as key features of veneered plywood and were indeed the founding principles behind its design. However, onsite decorating can bring issues, such as the edge sealing effect not being as satisfactory as a factory machine finish

1.Zero Onsite Pollution

Traditional decorating methods usually result in chaotic and messy construction sites—pieces of wood lying around, sawdust scattered in corners, and paint drips all over. The odor of paint permeates the entire house. However, prefinished veneer solutions eliminate onsite painting, avoiding dust and air pollution. Veneered plywood utilizes UV-cured paint, known for its high hardness, transparency, and above all, it's among the most environmentally friendly options available, leading to a safer home environment.

2.Shortened Decoration Period

The "manufactured in the workshop, quick installation onsite" approach simplifies the process greatly — with veneered boards only needing to be cut to size before onsite installation. This not only makes the process less laborious but also drastically reduces the decoration period. For commercial spaces like hotels, where time equates to money, such quick installation methods can save costs and indirectly increase profit. For homeowners too, the allure of shortened decoration time cannot be overstated.

3.Edging Concerns

If there is a downside to UV veneered plywood, edge sealing comes to mind. Most veneered plywood requires onsite cutting and edging, and the quality of hand-finished edges can be susceptible to variations based on the skill level of the worker and onsite equipment. The factory machine finish generally trumps the manual effort, and thus, addressing edging defects remains a challenge for veneered plywood manufacturers. Current industry efforts are focused on improving the quality and precision of this craft. In conclusion, Pre-Finished veneered plywood represents a significant advancement in the woodworking industry, marrying the qualities of UV coating and veneer, and presenting a novel and effective alternative to traditional wood works. Despite its few drawbacks, it continues to find wider acceptance, for its virtues outweigh its limitations.
