Properly storing veneer on fleece – this way the quality is maintained

Veneer on fleece is increasingly used in modern furniture and interior construction due to its flexibility and stability. To maintain the material's excellent properties, proper storage is crucial. Even small mistakes can lead to waves, warping, or color changes. The following points help to optimally protect veneer on fleece.

The most important facts for proper storage

Store flat

Veneer on fleece should always be stored flat and fully supported.
Rolled, bent, or leaned storage can lead to permanent damage.

Constant room climate

Since veneer is a natural material, it reacts sensitively to climate changes.
Recommended are:

• 18–22 °C temperature

• 45–60 % relative humidity

Fluctuations can cause waves or warping.

Protect from light

Direct sunlight or strong light sources can discolor the wood and dry out the fleece.
A light-protected storage preserves the natural appearance.

Acclimatize before processing

Before further processing, it is advisable to store the veneer in the working area for 24–48 hours.
This allows it to adapt to the environment and be processed without tension.

Conclusion

With just a few simple points, veneer on fleece can be stored reliably and safely. A flat storage, a stable room climate, light protection, the original packaging, and a short acclimatization are sufficient for the material to maintain its quality permanently.
