The veneers can be applied to various types of supports (plywood, MDF, blockboard) for the manufacture of furniture, furnishings and doors. This material reduces costs without sacrificing product quality. The horizontal cutting process, in fact, if well executed increases the resistance to woodworms, and leads to greater lightness and stability.
  • Laminate
    Laminate is the solution that imitates the appearance of wood. Made of phenolic or melamine resins, these materials are characterized by their resistance and hygiene. it is also resistant to humidity, scratches and stains, and perfectly reproduces the grain of the wood.

Available in different colors, this option makes the interior door waterproof and easy to clean.

  • Veneered doors
    The veneered doors are made of different types of wood, covered with a thin piece of wood called veneer. The panel selected for the cover is normally made of fine wood, cut along the vein (or backbone) or in the hotel briar.

  • Glass doors
    Doors of this type have tempered or laminated glass. Tempered glass is obtained by subjecting the sheets to a heat treatment at 700 degrees, followed by cooling. In the event of breakage, these alternatives are fragmented into very small, non-dangerous pieces, thus guaranteeing maximum safety. Laminated glass is also very safe, since it does not divide into multiple pieces when it is fractured. Upon breakage, an intermediate layer keeps the glass surfaces that surround it together
