Wood Laminate

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Wood Laminate is a wood product created by a Singapore company CubeFlex to utilise high pressure laminate technology to change the way wood veneer behaves under demanding conditions like scratch, heat and moisture. It carries the same characteristics of high pressure laminates in terms of durability and yet maintains the flexible nature of wood veneers. Existing wood laminates comes as reconstituted wood veneer being infused with resins on a cellar level that alters the wood bond.

The research for such a product began in 2014 in Singapore and the manufacturing methods was exported to China for further testing and mass production. Wood Laminate was created to sit between the practical functionalities of high pressure laminates and the aesthetic qualities of wood veneer.

Manufacturing Process The manufacturing process begins with the harvesting of ayous timber for rotary slicing into veneer sheets that will be dyed through before being assembled back into a log for re-slicing into consistent wood grain veneer. The wood veneer is then passed through a soaking process that changes the way wood bonds between each grain before being subjected to high heat and pressure to increase the wood density.

Product Application Wood laminates is available in sheet form as well as flooring equivalent to vinyl. It is used mainly for interior surfaces like kitchen cabinets, wall panels, ceiling panels, door frames, door panels and floor.

Environmental Benefit Since it is made of wood, the product can be remade into particle boards. The wood source are mainly from FSC forested trees. The main benefit is that the product lasts long and doesn't require any sanding nor varnishing which contributes to air pollution to the environment.
