Our Products
What is flexible wood veneer?
A thin layer of genuine wood applied to a flexible backing (paper, phenolic, polyback, etc.). It gives the look and texture of solid wood while adapting to flat or curved surfaces.
What backing types do you offer, and how do I choose?
Paper, phenolic, polyback, wood-on-wood (genuine), translucent and adhesive. The right choice depends on the application — furniture, doors, curved surfaces, press lamination, etc. Our team can advise you based on your project.
What’s the difference between flexible veneer and a veneered panel?
What wood species are available?
A wide selection, including cherry, maple, oak, walnut and zebrano. Check our Wood Species page or contact us for current availability.
Do you offer edge banding matched to your veneers?
Yes. Our edge banding is available in a hot-melt adhesive-backed roll (ready to apply) or unglued, compatible with standard edge-banding equipment, across our entire species library.
Are your panels and veneers formaldehyde-free?
Yes. Our formaldehyde-free panels (NuGreen) and our veneers are manufactured without added urea-formaldehyde — an important option for projects concerned with indoor air quality.
What are the maximum dimensions available for a panel?
Our panels are available up to 5 × 12 feet (maximum size), with various thicknesses available on request.
Do you offer textured-surface collections?
Yes, our Textura, Vintage and Rough-Sawn collections offer genuine wood surfaces with a textured finish, for projects seeking relief and character.
Orders and Custom Projects
Do you offer custom manufacturing or lamination services?
Yes. We handle specific requirements for dimensions, species or finishes — contact us with your project details.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes, samples are available on request. Check our Samples page or contact our team to request one.
What’s the minimum order quantity?
It varies by product and species. Contact our team to find out the minimums that apply to your project.
How do I glue a flexible veneer without a press?
Our Hand-Gluing guide explains the two most common methods — contact cement or cold glue with a veneer squeegee — to achieve a solid, well-pressed bond by hand.
Can I choose the cut and matching type for my veneer?
Yes. Several cut types (rotary, plain sliced, quarter sliced, etc.) and matching types (book-match, slip match, balanced, diamond, sunburst, marquetry) are available depending on the effect you want. Check our Cutting & Matching page.

Do you deliver outside Québec?

How do I care for a wood veneer surface?
Avoid excessive humidity and prolonged sun exposure. Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive products.
