Grey Veneer
Grey veneer is a gray-colored reconstituted veneer or dyed natural wood veneer that offers a modern and elegant aesthetic.
You can find these veneer sheets or rolls in thicknesses ranging from 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm.
For reconstituted veneers, grey oak is especially popular for interior decoration. There are many variations of grey oak veneers, featuring different grain patterns such as flamed grains, planked grains, quarter cut grains, rift cut grains, and wavy grains. The biggest advantage of reconstituted grey oak veneer is the consistent color and grain pattern from sheet to sheet, ensuring uniformity in your design projects.
For natural veneers, the grey color is achieved by dyeing the wood. Popular wood species for dyed grey veneers include dyed oak, dyed ash, dyed koto, eucalyptus, birds-eye maple, and dyed obeche.
2 Main Types of Grey Veneer Sheets and Rolls
Reconstituted Grey Veneer
Reconstituted grey veneer is often the preferred option for many projects for a variety of reasons:
- Variety & Customization: There is a wide selection of grey color reconstituted veneer sheets available, and you can easily choose the thickness that suits your needs.
- Consistency: For large-scale projects, grey reconstituted oak veneers offer superior consistency in both color and grain, ensuring uniformity across all sheets.
- Flexible Order Quantities: We accept small order quantities as long as the desired veneers are in stock, making it easy to meet your specific needs.
- Popular Options: Choose from various grey veneers like light grey fine line veneer, rift cut grey oak, flamed grey oak, planked grey oak, and platinum oak veneer.
Additionally, these veneers are available in the standard 2 x 8 ft sheets, and can also be spliced to 4 × 8 ft for larger projects.
This flexibility allows you to reduce overall costs and increase productivity on your project.
Grey Dyed Veneer
For certain wood species, natural veneers preserve the distinctive grain patterns that make each type of wood unique. However, when designers require a light or dark grey color for high-end furniture, wood doors, or wall panels, grey dyed veneer becomes the ideal solution.
One of the leading producers of dyed veneers is Tabu from Italy, but you can also source grey dyed veneers from Chinese suppliers at competitive prices.
For example, you can find paper-thin dyed grey veneer sheets ranging from 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm in thickness from China.
Common wood species for dyed grey veneers include oak, ash, koto, eucalyptus, and obeche. For more exotic options, you can explore birdseye maple, sycamore, and figured maple veneers.
These veneers can be supplied as individual sheets, or, if needed, we offer a splicing service to create custom panel sizes for your project.

When you’re looking for a grey wood veneer, grey oak reconstituted veneer should be your first option.
Reconstituted veneer offers competitive pricing while maintaining the authentic appearance of wood grain. Plus, you have the flexibility to choose from a wide range of grey shades and grain patterns.
Additionally, you can select platinum oak veneer, titanium oak veneer, or a wavy grey veneer texture to suit your design preferences.
One of the major benefits of reconstituted veneer is that you can receive large veneer sheets, which are ideal for veneered plywood or MDF.
For high-end applications such as luxury furniture, veneered wood doors, grey wardrobes, or cabinet making, architects often require high-quality natural veneer in grey tones. In such cases, dyed veneer is the best choice to meet these premium requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How is Grey Wood Veneer Made?
Most grey wood veneers are dyed veneers. To create them, real veneer sheets are dyed to achieve the desired grey color. Once dyed, multiple layers are laminated together to form different grain patterns, which are then used to create reconstituted veneer.
What Types of Grey Wood Veneer Sheets Are Available?
There are two main types of grey wood veneers:
- Natural Wood Veneer
- Reconstituted Veneer
Both can be found in a variety of grey tones, from dark to light. As for grain types, options include:
- Flamed (crown) grain
- Planked (half-crown) grain
- Rift cut grain
- Quarter cut grain
- Fine line grain
- Exotic wavy grains
What Thickness Should Grey Veneer Be?
We offer standard thicknesses of 0.4 mm and 0.5 mm for both natural and reconstituted veneers. For specific applications, we also provide super-thin veneer sheets or rolls ranging from 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm.
What Are the Common Specifications for Grey Veneer Sheets?
The length and width of natural wood veneer sheets can generally be customized. However, the standard size for natural wood veneers is 2500 mm or longer in length and 100 mm or wider in width. For reconstituted veneers, the typical sheet size is 2500 mm x 640 mm.
How to Select the Right Grey Veneer Sheet?
To optimize costs, veneered panel factories typically use thin veneers, ranging from 0.15 mm to 0.2 mm, to face plywood, MDF, and blockboard. However, for high-end veneered furniture, 0.4 mm to 0.5 mm thick veneers are preferred. If your client does not have specific preferences, reconstituted grey veneer is often a suitable and cost-effective option.
What are the Disadvantages of Dyed Veneer?
The primary drawback of dyed veneers is color change over time. This can be caused by:
- Dyestuff quality
- Dyeing technology
- Color-fixing agents
- Sunlight exposure (leading to discoloration)
How Can You Protect Grey Veneers Against Color Fading?
To minimize color fading, it is important to use high-quality color-fastness dyestuffs during the dyeing process. Additionally, applying a UV protective coating will help preserve the color and protect the veneer from sunlight damage.
Where to Buy Grey Veneer Sheets or Rolls?
You can find grey veneer sheets or rolls from local dyed veneer suppliers. Some well-known suppliers include Tabu and Alpi, based in Italy, Spain, Germany, and the U.S. Alternatively, you can also explore suppliers in China, where competitive prices are often available for dyed veneer options.
