Woodcut

WOODCUT uses a sawn cut extraction method when extracting the veneer from the logs, which does not degrade the quality of the veneer, as opposed to a sliced cut veneer. In a sliced cut veneer, the timber is softened by boiling it, and peeling the veneers off using a slicer. As a result, we would never use this method because you have degraded the quality of the veneer by exposing it to boiling water.

Slice cutting is a cost saving exercise as you are making the timber softer so you can peel it off. This method is satisfactory for joinery veneers, but not for flooring. All coatings by WOODCUT are designed to be cured by a UV light, which crystallises the oil or lacquer and forms extra protection on the boards.

On the contrary, natural oil finishes can be extremely porous and require regular maintenance. WOODCUT floors can be installed over an underfloor heating system, provided the correct installation method and product is used. WOODCUT offers support on preparing your slab for an underfloor heating installation by European standards.
