Order our Refacing Material Sample SetNon-Adhesive Veneers Non-Adhesive Paper Back VeneerThe Non-Adhesive Paper Back Veneer is composed of a wood veneer applied to a paper backing, resulting in a thin product that is easy to work with. Securing it can be done by applying solvent or water based contact cement to the back of the veneer and the cabinet. It is critical that pressure be applied with a veneer-smoothing blade for proper adhesion. This securing process eliminates the need for nails, resulting in no nail holes to fill.When properly installed, the low profile gives the appearance of becoming part of the existing face frame. Non-adhesive Paper Back Veneer is available rough-cut to size (RCTS) in 24″ x 32″, 2′ x 4′, 2′ x 8′, 4′ x 4′, and 4′ x 8′ Sheet Sizes and is ideal for face frame applications, but not recommended for covering large surfaces.Although it can be cut with a either a table saw, straight edge or utility knife, a laminate slitter is a good choice for fast and accurate cuts.
Depending on the wood species, the veneer may be available in Rotary Cut (RC) and Plain Sliced (PS).Non-Adhesive Wood Back VeneerThe Non-Adhesive Wood Back Veneer is a 2-ply veneer (face veneer is the species specified by the customer and the back is a luan veneer that simply helps balance out the sheet). The wood backing is applied to the veneer with a cross grain direction resulting in a flatter more stable product. Unlike the Paper Back Veneer, this product is suitable for both face frame applications and for covering larger surfaces such as the sides of cabinets.Securing this veneer can be done by applying solvent or water based contact cement to both the cabinet and veneer in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. It is critical that pressure be applied with a veneer-smoothing blade for proper adhesion. This securing process eliminates the need for nails, resulting in no nail holes to fill.Non-adhesive Wood Back Veneer is available rough-cut to size (RCTS) in 24″ x 32″, 2′ x 4′, 2′ x 8′, 4′ x 4′, and 4′ x 8′ Sheet Sizes. Depending on the wood species, the veneer may be available in Rotary Cut (RC) and Plain Sliced (PS).Non-Adhesive Resin Back VeneerThe Non-Adhesive Resin Back Veneer is stiffer, thicker, and more resistant to dents than both the Paper Back and Wood Back Veneers. Many resin back materials will leave a black line at the edge or corner of a cabinet; however, our Non-Adhesive Resin Back Veneers use a lighter colored Resin that eliminates this issue.
This type of veneer is also known as a “No Black Line” (NBL) veneer.The resin backing is similar to laminate countertop material and has characteristics that cause it to perform like laminate. Solvent-based or water based contact cement can be used for this product application. The resin backing acts as a barrier between the glue and the veneer, eliminating any chance of the finish being affected by any solvent based products bleeding through the veneer during the installation process. Depending on the wood species, the veneer may be available in Rotary Cut (RC) and Plain Sliced (PS). Resin Back Veneer is available rough-cut to size (RCTS) in 24″ x 32″, 2′ x 4′, 2′ x 8′, 4′ x 4′, and 4′ x 8′ Sheet Sizes.
