Wall panelling and linings
For walls, alcoves and panelling in shops or offices. Large sheets let you cut several pieces and plan the grain pattern across the composition.
Panels with a real wood surface
Veneered plywood. For interior linings and furniture.
The grain and colour of wood in thin 4 and 8 mm panels. For lining walls and doors or making furniture components, in a species that suits your project.
One or two decorative faces · Nine species in the range
What you can make
Wood on show,
from wall panels to furniture.
A veneer is a thin sheet of wood applied to plywood. It lets you choose the appearance of the surface while keeping a base made of several layers.
Furniture components
Visible cabinet backs, drawer bottoms and panels fitted into framed doors. Useful when you want to carry the same wood species through different parts of the furniture.
Illustrative images of possible uses, not Vela projects or panels from our supply.
Door facings
For giving a door a wood surface by applying the panel to a suitable structure. The facing is one part of the door and needs to be coordinated with its frame, edges and finish.
Designing with 4 and 8 mm panels
These thicknesses are intended for linings and components. Piece size, support and fixing need to suit the project.
The look of your project
Choose the wood species.
From pale woods to walnut and oak with knots. Colour and grain vary naturally: for adjacent pieces, we agree the appearance you need.
- Tanganyika aniegre
- Tanganyika akatio
- Black walnut
- Light European oak
- Rustic oak with knots
- White European ash
- Chestnut
- Italian walnut
- European maple
Teak, beech, elm, eucalyptus and reconstituted veneers can be assessed on request, with a minimum order to be agreed.
A practical choice
How many faces
will remain visible?
A/R and A/B describe how the two sides of the panel are faced.
A/R · 4 and 8 mm
One decorative face
For linings and components with a hidden reverse. The 4 mm panel has a balancing veneer on the reverse; the reverse construction of the 8 mm panel must be confirmed for the supply.
A/B · 8 mm
Both faces in the same species
For pieces visible from both sides. The B face has a lower commercial grade than the A face: we agree the appearance required for each side.
The Vela range
Thicknesses and sizes.
These variants are part of our normal range. Availability of the chosen combination, quantities and lead times are confirmed in the quotation.
| Thickness | Faces | Panel sizes |
|---|---|---|
| 4 mm | A/ROne decorative face | 2120 × 920 mm2520 × 1250 mm3020 × 1250 mm |
| 8 mm | A/ROne decorative face | 3120 × 1850 mm |
| 8 mm | A/BBoth faces in the same species | 3120 × 1850 mm |
The core is generally poplar plywood. The 4 mm panel typically has five layers; construction and actual sheet size are checked against the supply.
From the surface
to the finished piece.
A veneered surface does not mean it is already varnished. Preparation, edge treatment and finishing should suit the intended use and appearance.
