What is SHINNOKI® by NAV™?
SHINNOKI® is a prefinished wood veneer adhered to a phenolic laminate backing sheet. The SHINNOKI® range amplifies sophistication and opulence with six layers of a matte finish ultra- low emitting acrylate urethane UV-cured varnish partnered with a rolling technique and intermediate curing, enhancing the texture of the natural wood veneer
Is SHINNOKI® by NAV™ likely to react to sunlight exposure?
SHINNOKI® laminates are made from natural timbers and will react to direct and indirect sunlight. The pre-finished surface contains a UV protection that offers some protection against discolouration, but like all natural wood products, colour variation will occur over time. Excessive exposure to direct sunlight may cause timber veneers to undergo sudden and irregular colour changes.
What is NAVENEERTM?
NAVENEERTM 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.
What applications is NAVENEERTM suited to?
NAVENEERTM is suitable for use as feature wall and ceiling linings, joinery, furniture, doors, as well as acoustic paneling.
What are the advantages of using NAVENEERTM?
• 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
What dyeing system is used?
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.
What is the recommended veneer finishes?
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.
What Fire rating does NAVENEERTM achieve?
NAVENEERTM achieves a group 3 fire rating when pressed onto MR MDF or FR MDF.
What is NAVLAM SandblastedTM?
NAVLAM SandblastedTM 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 SandblastedTM is available as a finished panel on E0 MR MDF substrate thickness of your choice.
What colour consistency should I expect with NAVLAM SandblastedTM products?
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.
What is NAVLAM SandblastedTM likely reaction to light?
NAVLAM SandblastedTM 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.
What is the recommended method for handling NAVLAM SandblastedTM?
NAVLAM SandblastedTM can be handled stocked and worked as a traditional HPL sheet. Some specific features of wood surfaces require particular care. Always carry NAVLAM SandblastedTM 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 SandblastedTM sheet surface assembly from one point to another. Never slide the panel on its decorative surface. NAVLAM SandblastedTM 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.
What is the recommended method for stacking or storing NAVLAM SandblastedTM?
NAVLAM SandblastedTM 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.
What edging is available for NAVLAM SandblastedTM?
Matching ABS edging is available in 22mm, 38mm and 54mm widths.
What substrates are typically used with NAVLAMTM?

Which machinery is recommended for use with NAVLAMTM?
Panel saws or table saws may be used to cut NAVLAMTM 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 NAVLAMTM 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.
What is recommended for cleaning and maintenance of NAVLAMTM products?
NAVLAMTM 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.
What is the bend radius of NAVLAMTM laminates?
The bend along the long grain achieves a radius of 150mm. Bent along the short grain achieves a radius of 200mm.
What Fire rating does NAVLAMTM achieve?
