Maple Veneer - Rift

Premium Rift Cut Maple Wood Veneer Sheets

Rift Cut Maple veneer is the premier choice for modern architectural projects requiring a clean, consistent, and ultra-linear aesthetic. Produced by slicing the log at a specific angle to the growth rings, Rift Cut (also referred to as Rift Sawn) minimizes the shimmering "ray fleck" found in quartersawn cuts, resulting in a straight-grain pattern that is exceptionally uniform across large surfaces. Our Rift Maple is hand-selected for its creamy white-to-pale straw color, offering a bright and sophisticated palette for contemporary design.

Why Choose Rift Cut Over Flat Cut?

While Flat Cut (Plain Sliced) maple features a "cathedral" or arched grain pattern, Rift Cut Maple provides a series of parallel lines. This makes it ideal for:

• Minimalist Cabinetry: Provides a "quiet" background that doesn't compete with other design elements.

• Vertical Wall Paneling: The linear grain helps heighten the appearance of a room when installed vertically.

• Modern Furniture: A favorite for mid-century modern and Scandinavian-style tables and desks.

Professional Backing Options

To ensure a successful installation on any substrate, we offer Rift Maple in three industry-standard backers:

1. 10-Mil Paper Back: The thin, flexible choice for standard cabinetry and bonding to flat surfaces.

2. 22.2-Mil Bubble-Free (BFV): Our heavy-duty backer designed to hide substrate imperfections and prevent bubbling during the curing process.

3. 3M™ PSA (Peel-and-Stick): The ultimate solution for on-site refacing. No contact cement is required—just peel, stick, and trim for a permanent, professional bond.
