Walnut made easy!
Unrivalled diversity
Nuxe brings walnut into uncharted territory.
Your standard book and slip-matched walnut veneer are a thing of the past. The entire tree, from core to sap, is showcased in all its splendor through mixmatch techniques. There are no monotonous colors here; instead, a full range of possibilities offers itself, from natural variations to new, dyed undertones.
Travel with us and discover local walnuts. Get to know the West African dibétou with its warm, golden glow or the dark, earthy tones of a Brazilian ipé. Nuxe will surprise you in every possible way.
Walnut has a rich color palette and complex grain pattern. This hand-selected collection presents easy and consistent looks within the endless variety of walnut. Every look is available as panels, sheets and edge banding to cater to all applications for your project.
Nuxe combines the beauty of walnut with the look of solid wood. Available in 9 looks, with focus on consistency in every sheet. Choose the finish of the panels, sheets and edge banding yourself.
Through our mixmatch jointing technique, we achieve a uniform look across many panels.
Top layer of real top class
The top layer of the Nuxe panels consists of an expertly crafted sheet of wood veneer. Every sheet is composed using our mixmatch technique, yielding unrivaled perfection and uniqueness.
What is mixmatch?
Mastered over decades, this signature technique provides a uniform surface. Various slicing techniques are applied to select timber cuts from different trees, which are then randomly joined together into a sheet.
Each panel is characteristically unique to solid wood without visual inconsistencies or structural compromises.
Veneered panels can be finished in a variety of ways, with oils and varnishes being the most common.
- Oil finishing allows the wood to retain its natural appearance. Furthermore, as the oil will be absorbed and fill up the pores, it will prevent water and other liquids to penetrate the wood. The downside of oil finishing is that it requires more maintenance as the wood must be regularly fed with the right products.
- A varnish will seal the wood properly, resulting in a higher resistance to grease marks, making it a more reliable choice for dining tables and worktops. The downside of varnishing is that the natural appearance is more muted as you add a layer on top of the wood. However, matt varnishes can have a very subtle effect.
Furthermore, several options are possible to reduce the sunlight impact on the wood.
- Please ask your supplier for a finishing product including UV blockers. These products provide an additional help in protecting the wood and will lower the overall color shift upon aging/exposure to sunlight.
- The walnut veneer can also be stained prior to varnishing or oiling to achieve a specific color. Especially, using a darker stain will mask the wood color shift, thanks to the pigmentation in the stain.
- Adding white pigmentation in the treatment of your wood, will help reflect UV light and give the wood additional protection.
- Inspect the veneer ahead of starting the process.
- Sand the veneer in the direction of the wood grain to avoid scratches. Remove the wood dust ahead of further steps. (*)
- Apply the varnish or oil coats according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Final touches: Allow the final coat to cure completely in a dust-free environment. This could take several days to a week, depending on the varnish type.
(*)Decospan offers boards that are pre-sanded to make sure the surface is clean. However, to achieve the optimal result, the boards need to be sanded again with a fine grit to avoid potential glue residue that might become visible when staining/finishing.
TIPS
- Temperature and humidity: Ensure you’re working in a well-ventilated area with moderate humidity and temperature, as extreme conditions can affect drying times and finish quality.
- Avoid Overworking: Don’t go back over areas that are starting to dry, as this can cause streaks or unevenness.
- Varnish Type: Oil-based varnishes typically provide a richer color and are more durable but take longer to dry. Water-based varnishes dry faster and are less odor-intensive but may raise the wood grain slightly.
