Veneer matching & slicing technique

JOINT TECHNIQUE

Gustafs Selected

The crown and half-crown cut veneer flitches are reverse slip-matched, a technique specifically developed by Gustafs for the seamless application of natural wood on larger walls and ceilings. This method ensures a vibrant yet harmoniously consistent appearance across the entire cladding. Additionally, it simplifies installation by reducing the need for on-site planning.

– Reverse slip-matched
– Crown and half-crown cut veneers
– Varying number of flitches per panel
– Designed and selected for large-scale surfaces
