“We cut lots of mitres for the on-wall applications, and the pre-
finished panels with a peel coat were processed through the
shop without damage,” said John Greco, a principal at Feature
Millwork, millworker for the project.
“Even more important than the handling attributes was that
we were working on a very tight timeline and the prefinished
Shinnoki and edgebanding bypassed our finishing-line bottle-
neck, allowing us to keep to a very tight install schedule,” he
added.
Another key characteristic of Shinnoki is its consistency.
Thanks to a unique veneer mix-match technique, Shinnoki
panels exhibit uniform quality and have the look and feel of
natural wood.
Mix-match is a technique in which wood veneer sheets
that come from different trees and have been cut in different
ways are joined together, giving the natural appearance of solid
wood. When a continuous surface is created using different
boards, there are no visual breaks in the pattern. The result is a
finished sheet with a lively look and uniform quality.
“Every variant in our product range emphasizes the natural
structure of the wood,” said Gord Clough, director of market-
ing at Hardwoods. “We worked with top European designers
to create a wide collection of 17 variants, all emphasizing the
natural structure and beauty of wood.” IW
