In addition, wood veneer is a natural product with lot-to-lot variations that can cause inconsistencies and preclude replacement of damaged components. And because veneer can only bend in one direction, components of hospitality furniture are generally slab-sided, with sharp, damage-prone corners and edges.

Membrane pressing with RENOLIT overcomes the practical drawbacks of wood veneer while actually improving on its aesthetic appeal.

First, RENOLIT film is offered in a broad array of highly realistic woodgrains—in quarter sawn grain patterns—not the telltale shaved patterns of veneer.

Second, RENOLIT film can be membrane-pressed (as well as flat-laminated, miter-folded, post-formed or profile-wrapped), conforming to virtually any flat or three-dimensional shape routed into wood core substrates—with no visible seams—so components appear to be machined from solid wood.

Third, membrane pressing with RENOLIT film frees designers to create high-style, three-dimensional furniture components containing everything from compound curves and sharp profiles to raised panels and, if desired, safe, rounded corners.

Lastly, wood core components surfaced with horizontal-grade RENOLIT film withstand scratching, marring, impact, water, cleansers and abrasion better than wood veneer, prolonging the longevity and good looks of hospitality furniture.

Availability from stock, and a cut-to-length program for prototyping and smaller production runs, put the advantages of surfacing with RENOLIT film within easy reach of every hospitality furniture manufacturer.
