Leading value-added panel and timber distributor James Latham, is now offering Shinnoki, a range of ready to use veneered panels that are supplied already stained and lacquered, requiring no further finishing.

The veneer is applied to an MDF base, rendering the panels sturdy and easy to use. In addition, Shinnoki is produced in both a single or double sided finish, with the first having a reverse side in either white or dark melamine.

Due to the comprehensive range, interior designers are finding Shinnoki offers almost limitless application options. Matching edge bandings are available in several widths and lengths and the 16 Shinnoki designs are supplied in separate 3-ply veneer sheets, perfect for doors or other interior requirements. What’s more, eight of the Shinnoki designs incorporate the brand’s range of veneered flooring (PAR-KY®).

Steve Frommont, Lathams product champion for veneered boards commented, “Our customer’s reaction to Shinnoki has been extremely positive. These panels do not require any extra finishing and are supplied in designs which are completely in tune with current design trends – so you will always achieve a stunning, warm and timeless result.”

Using the "mixmatch" jointing technique, whereby wood veneer of different trees and various grain patterns are matched, consistency both in appearance and product quality are continually achieved without losing any of the unique natural aspects of wood.

All nine Latham’s panel sites offer the Shinnoki collection directly from stock in thicknesses of 19 mm and in a board size of 2790 x 1240. The 3-ply version is available in a thickness of 1.5mm and in a sheet size of 3000 x 1220 mm.

Panels are supplied ready to use and to ensure they arrive in a first class condition; each panel has a transparent removable protection film applied to the surface.
