Economy Grade Red Oak Wood Veneer Sheets
Economy Grade Red Oak—also known as Utility Grade or Backer Grade Oak—is the professional’s choice for projects where cost-efficiency is prioritized over grain perfection. These sheets feature the same structural integrity as our premium veneer but include natural character marks, mineral streaks, and knots that make them unsuitable for high-end "face" applications but perfect for functional wood surfaces.
Best Applications for Economy Grade Veneer
For contractors and cabinet manufacturers, using Economy Grade Red Oak is an effective way to lower project costs without sacrificing the durability of real wood. This grade is highly recommended for:
-
Cabinet Interiors & Shelving: Provide a real wood finish for the inside of carcasses where a premium sequence match isn't required.
-
Backer Sheets: Use as a secondary layer to balance panels and prevent warping in high-quality architectural woodwork.
-
Paint-Grade Projects: The open-pore structure of Red Oak provides a distinct wood texture even under heavy paint or primer, making it ideal for "cerused" or textured painted finishes.
-
Shop Jigs & Prototypes: High-quality real wood surfaces for workshop use at a lower price point.
The Oakwood Value Standard
Even at our economy price point, we maintain a standard of excellence that keeps your shop running efficiently:
-
Structural Integrity: While the grain may contain imperfections like pin knots or color variations (from bright pink to wheat tones), the veneer is flat, stable, and ready for application.
-
Standard Flat Cut Pattern: These sheets typically feature a Flat Cut (Plain Sliced) pattern with natural cathedrals, providing a recognizable oak aesthetic.
-
Multiple Backing Options: Available with 10-mil paper, 22.2-mil Bubble-Free (BFV), and 3M™ PSA (Peel-and-Stick) to match your shop's existing workflow.
Technical Specifications:
-
Botanical Name: Quercus rubra
-
Grain Pattern: Flat Cut / Plain Sliced
-
Common Uses: Interior cabinetry, structural backers, balance sheets.
-
Backing Choices: 10-mil, 22.2-mil BFV, 3M™ PSA.
-
Sustainably Sourced: 100% North American Timber.
