Depending on the functionality of the furniture we can distinguish different types of materials and finishes, the functionality, the environment and the use will mark the characteristics of the finished product, there are many types of veneer to cover the boards that will form the furniture, wood veneer, PVC, ABS, melamine paper and others.
The market is becoming more and more demanding and customers want all the most modern and trendy functionalities and finishes, but with the lifespan of the furniture of yesteryear. For this it is very important to choose the right raw materials and components for our furniture. Just as there are different types of boards and chipboards with their unique characteristics, such as boards that are more resistant to moisture, cold or heat, there are different types of veneer tape.
Veneer tape is a material that covers the edges of the board to embellish and cover it. In this way, the board is sealed, thus achieving characteristics such as permeability or increased hardness and strength.
We can choose different types of materials for our veneer tapes, wood veneer tapes are a more environmentally friendly option, because of its construction material, although they are usually coated with glues and chemicals for adherence to the boards, these wood veneer tapes aesthetically give that rustic touch of wood, but they are not very flexible, and in boards and furniture with some curvature could give problems.
Melamine paper veneer tape is another of the options that we find for the manufacture of furniture, widely used in large manufacturing chains, this type of material has a low resistance and does not protect the piece from knocks and scratches so it would not be a highly recommended material for furniture with a lot of use. An advantage of this type of material is undoubtedly the aesthetic finish, using the same melamine paper as the board can achieve a very striking visual continuity.
Veneer tapes made of plastic materials such as PVC and ABS are perfect for widely used furniture such as office furniture, household furniture or furniture for mass use. Depending on the thickness of the veneer tape, it is possible to achieve a component that is highly resistant to scratches and humidity, creating a product that lasts over time and protects the board.
