Bamboo veneer is manufactured from blocks laminated with water-proof adhesive and bamboo strips. The blocks are first laminated, then conditioned and soaked for two weeks before being sliced into veneer sheets. Bamboo veneer is more difficult to produce than conventional solid wood veneers, due in part to the number of glue joints that reduce yield. Bamboo veneer is backed with either a paper or fleece material to give the product more stability and strength. Veneers are suitable for any interior application such as walls, cupboards or as a feature to produce rounded or other interesting chapes to your home.
For the builder in you; bamboo veneers work well in the manufacturing process, but due to different adhesives and press temperatures at different lamination houses it is best to run a few test samples to be sure everything is working well. Bamboo veneer tends to be more porous and can take more finish run some test finish applications to get the right feel.
