Applying Veneer to Yacht Interior: Enhancing the Natural Beauty of Your Vessel
If you are looking to renovate or restore your yacht, marine grade wood veneer is a great option for creating a rich and beautiful appearance. With its lightweight and flexible properties, wood veneer can be applied to almost any surface of your vessel. In this article, we will explore some of the carpentry services that we offer at PTW Shipyard, with a focus on marine wood veneer.
Modern Marine Wood Veneers Can Be Applied Almost Anywhere
In the past, wood veneer had a reputation for being difficult to work with. However, modern marine grade wood veneers are now much more versatile and flexible. These veneers consist of layers of exotic woods such as mahogany, which are pressed together and held onto a non-toxic epoxy or resin substrate. The wood is then sealed using weatherproof varnish, ensuring a long lifespan.
Marine wood veneer is a thin but highly durable material that can be used to decorate or restore almost any part of your boat. Some common areas where wood veneers are applied include:
Cabins – Wood veneer is a popular choice in cabins and at the helm of your yacht. It provides a naturalistic appearance that is reminiscent of the early days of sailing when almost all materials on a boat were wood-based.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms – Marine wood veneers add a sophisticated touch to bedrooms. They are also very durable and resistant to water and moisture, making them ideal for humid and damp environments such as bathrooms.
Galleys – Whether you choose a wood veneer that matches your existing cabinetry or a contrasting wood style that adds visual flair to your galley, this is an ideal place for marine wood veneer application.
Entertainment Rooms – Wood veneer is often used in entertainment rooms, particularly on stowable cabinets that contain TVs and entertainment centers. Using wood veneer helps create a seamless appearance and allows you to hide entertainment systems when they are not in use.
Proper Installation Is The Key To A Great Veneer Project
While marine wood veneer is durable and long-lasting, proper installation is essential for achieving a great result. A professional yacht refinishing company like PTW Shipyard can use wood veneer in any interior design application and provide spectacular results. However, specialized skills and techniques are necessary due to the moisture present on boats and the complexity of working in a marine environment.
Choosing the right company to apply your marine grade wood veneers is crucial. If you choose the wrong company for installation, your veneer could fail, peel, or even rot, resulting in serious damage to your vessel. Take your time, do your research, and find the right company for your yacht restoration project.
