The veneer industry is moving with the times: sprucing up instead of throwing away is the trend. This also and especially applies to furniture. In the past, when tastes changed, the dining table or mirrored cabinet was quickly thrown away. Today it's different. People keep things, but want to adapt them to the current zeitgeist. "With self-adhesive or self-adhesive veneer, this is very easy. It gives large surfaces or accentuated old furniture a modern yet natural look," says Ursula Geismann, a longtime living analyst and managing director of Initiative Furnier + Natur (IFN).
Individual look, easy installation
The thin, highly flexible veneers, which are often reinforced with thin paper, are either self-adhesively backed or glued with glue. The adhesives used, even the self-adhesive ones, are harmless, both to the environment and to your own health. There is also veneer in ready-to-use board format with fleece lamination. The individual sheets of veneer can be cut with a cutter or scissors for the specific purpose. Innovative surface treatments of the wood and advanced printing and embossing processes also give the veneer a look and feel to suit any requirement. Very important during installation: the surface to be glued should be clean and dry. "After gluing, the veneer surfaces can then still be lacquered or oiled, depending on the product chosen. Thus, nothing stands in the way of a beautiful individualization and long-term upgrading of the old furniture, room divider or even the old living room door. Such an Upcycling of old furniture extends the life span and is therefore very lasting , so Geismann finally. (DS)

Breathing new life into old things: Upcycling with veneer you glue on yourself
Bonn. The mountains of garbage are getting bigger and bigger. But instead of throwing away an old cupboard or a chest of drawers that has become unfashionable, you can breathe new life into them with simple means. Veneer that you cut and glue on yourself gives cherished furnishings a new, interesting look in no time at all.The veneer industry is moving with the times: sprucing up instead of throwing away is the trend.
