Veneered
timber fireplaces are an alternative to a solid wood fireplace. The
process of veneering involves applying a precision cut slice of timber
onto a core material (usually MDF), the finished material is then worked
and lacquered in much the same way as a solid timber fireplace.
Veneering has been around for hundreds of years. Until modern times
veneered fireplaces and furniture could only be found in the possession of
the wealthy because of the skills and talent needed to produce veneers.
With modern day machines this process has now been made much easier and
more cost effective.
The dense uniformity, producing precision contoured profiles, and the
exceptional dimensional consistency, allowing for tighter tolerances and
greater stability, veneered MDF can be especially advantageous for
products such as fire surrounds or fireplaces sited around an open fire
where there can be enormous fluctuations in temperature.
