Know your project requirements
Start with the basics of your project
Fine wood interiors begin with the selection of veneers that best fit the project being designed.
Before material selection begins, consideration should be given to the following:
- Application - define intended end use of the veneer
- Sustainability/LEED Goals - identify sustainability requirements
- Size - estimate lengths & widths required
- Quantity - estimate finished square footage and raw material required
- Project Time Frames - identify key project timelines
- Design characteristics - identify general characteristics & color pallette desired
- Cost - estimate general range of cost
