Wood Sheets

Characteristics 

Tough & Flexible

Our wood sheet is highly tear-resistant and tough while it has high flexibility and reversibility.  These properties are realized by bonding special resin impregnated paper to a veneer, preventing a wood sheet from tearing when it is folded or twisted.

Sequences of Grains Yielded by Thinness

We have succeeded in reducing the total thickness of a wood sheet including those of a veneer and backing material to the utmost limit of approx. 0.2m/m - 0.3m/m*.  (*Thickness varies depending on wood species and grains.)

As we use a veneer in 0.2m/m thickness, which is sliced more thinly than that widely used America or Europe where its standard thickness is 0.5 - 0.6m/m, our wood sheet presents less irregularity of grain patterns and provides more continuity of patterns.

Environment and Human Friendly Non-formalin Adhesive

We use non-formalin adhesive for our wood sheets, which has received four-star grade (the safest) in the environmental Japan Industrial Standards for labeling of formaldehyde emission rate.

Our wood sheets are formalin-free and naturally environment and human friendly.

World Top Class Quality

We assure the quality of our products with use of best quality raw wood carefully selected by us.

Three types of wood sheets are usually available, but we are ready to manufacture thicker types at the request of customers.

 -     A special sheet is bonded to a veneer as backing material.

-     Thickness is approx. 0.2m/m.

-     This is the thinnest model and the most suitable for wrapping of radius cut surfaces formed by vacuum press and application to curved surfaces.

 -     A backing veneer is bonded to the backside of Wood Sheet 1P.

-     Thickness is approx. 0.4m/m.

-     Larger thickness gives more texture.

-     This is a model developed for the customers who desire for texture exceeding Wood Sheet 1P.

 -     In a simple term, this is a model consisting of three veneers in 0.2m/m thickness bonded together.

-     Thickness is approx. 0.6m/m.

-     Thickness even larger than Wood Sheet 2P facilitates its handling.

-     The thickest model of the three gives solid impression.
