NAVENEER^TM is a range of reconstructed timber veneers made from rotary peeled timber that is colour enhanced through a dyeing process. Reconstructed veneers are consistent in colour and pattern batch to batch.

NAVENEER^TM is suitable for use as feature wall and ceiling linings, joinery, furniture, doors, as well as acoustic paneling.

• Supplied in standard sheet sizes for better yield
• Even in colour and pattern, allowing for consistency across continuous sheets batch to batch
• Matching veneer edging
• Supplied raw to be able to customise the gloss finish

Our extensive industry research has resulted in the development of dyeing systems based on water cycles. The dyeing process is used to obtain the required colour shades for each sheet of veneer. Wood sheets are impregnated by immersion into steel tanks at controlled temperatures with the addition of soluble dyes made from an organic structure. The dyes contain no chrome or other heavy metals.

We recommend finishing panels with BC Coatings ZILCH! finish.

Available in:
UT405 Zilch! Super Matte (0-5%)
UT410 – Matte 10%
UT430 – Satin 30%
UT450 – Semi-gloss 50%

Zilch! has been specially formulated for New Age Veneers and is a 2-pac polyurethane containing both a non- yellowing agent and UV inhibitor. A UV inhibitor offers some protection against discolouration, but like all natural products, colour variation will occur over time.

NAVENEER^TM achieves a group 3 fire rating when pressed onto MR MDF or FR MDF.

NAVLAM Sandblasted^TM is a range of textured reconstructed timber veneers, finished with high quality, scratch and stain resistant 2-pac acrylic polyurethane finish and laid on a laminate back. The sandblasted texture is created through a wire brushing process to give a unique textural surface. NAVLAM Sandblasted^TM is available as a finished panel on E0 MR MDF substrate thickness of your choice.

Although there is consistent colour in every individual batch, there will be slight colour variances between batches due to the natural materials used. A reconstructed veneer may display natural features such as pin knots, gum and mild-indentations.

NAVLAM Sandblasted^TM laminates are reconstructed from natural timbers and will react to direct and indirect sunlight. The pre-finished surface contains a UV inhibitor that offers some protection against discolouration, but like all natural products, colour variation will occur over time.

Prolonged exposure to direct light may cause timber veneers to undergo sudden and irregular colour change.

NAVLAM Sandblasted^TM can be handled stocked and worked as a traditional HPL sheet. Some specific features of wood surfaces require particular care. Always carry NAVLAM Sandblasted^TM sheets vertically. Handle full size sheets carefully to avoid breakage or injury. It is recommended that two people carry full size sheets. Be careful in moving NAVLAM Sandblasted sheets so as not to strike them against anything which would damage the decorative surface or edges. Always lift NAVLAM Sandblasted^TM sheet surface assembly from one point to another. Never slide the panel on its decorative surface. NAVLAM Sandblasted^TM is supplied with a clear protective film. We recommend that you leave the film in place while working the sheet. Colour uniformity and quality checks should be carried out on the sheets before working commences. The protective film is clear enough that you may inspect the material without removing the film. When in doubt, peel the film around the suspect area.

NAVLAM Sandblasted^TM sheets should always be stacked flat, horizontally, face to face, at a moderate ambient temperature (about 20C) and a relative humidity of around 60%. All wood surfaces should be protected from sunlight and humidity. We recommend wrapping in non-transparent plastic (preferably dark) to assure stability.

Matching ABS edging is available in 22mm, 38mm and 54mm widths.

Panel saws or table saws may be used to cut NAVLAM^TM before or after lamination. Routers for trimming edges after bonding must have a smooth, clean base plate, so that the surface of the veneer will not be scratched. Use carbide-tipped bits with ball bearing guide rolls. Keep all bits sharp. Drilling into NAVLAM^TM may be done with standard wood bits or router bits. For a final edge finishing, use a flat smooth or fine file. You may consider applying a light or dark stain to the edge to hide the phenolic line.

NAVLAM^TM surfaces are easy to clean using a damp cloth and mild soap or non-abrasive wood cleaning products. Do not use abrasive cleaners, pads, or harsh solvents. Do not allow any solvent, acetone or trichloroethylene to come in contact with the surface. Accidental spills, splatters or over sprays should be wiped off immediately with a soft cloth and mild soap. If removed immediately, solvents should not have an effect on the veneer. Watered down alcohol, ammonia and other light solvents may be used for tougher stains.
