Merenda Surface Collection
ALPI Reconstituted Veneer
ALPI is the pinnacle of sustainable surface design and the future of architectural timber. Through our partnership with ALPI, we deliver consistent results across large-scale projects, removing the unpredictability of natural timber while retaining its soul.
- Design Freedom: Achieve perfect colour and grain repeatability that natural logs cannot guarantee.
- Sustainability: Sourced from certified forests, available in ZeroF (zero added formaldehyde) versions to meet the most stringent LEED and BREEAM requirements for healthy, eco-responsible interiors.
Customised
Veneer Layons
Our custom-matched layons are the foundation of premium cabinetry and wall panelling. This is where Merenda’s 40-year heritage in craft meets industrial precision.
- Technical Mastery: We specialise in complex book-matching, slip-matching, and radial layons.
- Seamless Integration: We match your layons to your edgings and profiles, creating a monolithic appearance for bespoke joinery.
Profile Wrap & Wrapped Mouldings
Craft meets engineering in our Profile Wrap division. By migrating this technology to our Surface Collection, we offer the ability to wrap complex substrates in real wood veneer. This allows for the seamless integration of skirtings, architraves, and furniture profiles that would be impossible or cost-prohibitive in solid timber. We provide the solution to “wrap the impossible,” ensuring every detail of the fit-out is architecturally consistent.
Merenda Edge Collection
Specialist Edgebanding
Our Specialist Edgebanding provides absolute continuity across natural, dyed, smoked, or reconstituted veneers. By using the same high-quality timber as our surfaces, we ensure your furniture achieves the flawless look of solid wood while benefiting from the efficiency of modern manufacturing.
- Bespoke Matching: Tailored to your exact specs (12mm–180mm wide; 0.5mm–2.5mm thick). We sync the tone and texture of your edges perfectly with ALPI, Tabu, or exotic veneers.
- Plug-and-Play Efficiency: Designed to work with your existing edgebander and workflow. No new tooling is required—just a 100% reliable bond and a surface ready for final finishing.
- Proven Savings: Bespoke matching can save up to 285 labour hours per project by eliminating rework and the struggle of manual grain matching.
End-Grain Edgebanding
Our End-Grain solution is the artisan’s choice and a hallmark of our craft authority. By replicating the cross-section of a solid timber log, this product allows manufacturers to create furniture that is indistinguishable from solid wood. It is a strategic detail that elevates a standard veneered board into a piece of high-craft joinery.
ABS & Melamine
When high-volume productivity meets extreme durability, our synthetic range leads the market.
- ABS: A robust, impact-resistant thermoplastic edge, colour-matched to global board manufacturers.
- Melamine: The cost-effective, high-speed solution for internal cabinetry and office furniture.
- Technical Support: We facilitate the perfect bond by supplying industry-grade Hotmelt Adhesives, ensuring that your edging, whether synthetic or natural, remains a permanent part of the design.
F&S and Thickwood
Real Wood Edge
For projects where authenticity is paramount, our real wood edgebanding provides the tactile warmth of natural timber.
- Thickwood Edge: For high-traffic environments requiring the impact resistance of solid timber with the efficiency of a rolled product. Available in a vast range of species to match any substrate.
- F&S (Fleece & Sanded): High-flexibility veneer for intricate curves and seamless bonding.
