Real Wood Veneers – the Natural Art of Diversity
Immerse yourself with us in the world of real wood veneers. Located at Lake Lungern in Central Switzerland, aesthetics and the careful use of natural resources are close to our hearts. That is why we use real wood veneers for the surfaces of our acoustic elements, produced in our in-house veneer mill. This way, we know the origin of every tree and can offer you and your project the almost endless variety of wood species and their grain patterns. The diversity of our cutting and matching methods provides the freedom to realize individual requirements of any scale.
Topakustik has always relied on its own production of real wood veneers — not only because of their excellent technical and functional properties, but also from a sustainability perspective. In the following sections, you will find more information on the individual topics.
The use of real wood veneer combined with MDF panels offers significant advantages over solid wood:
Our in-house veneer mill allows full control of the value chain:
For every tree processed, the origin and country are known. Benefits:
Topakustik is inherently and comprehensively committed to sustainability and is certified accordingly. Our governance requires the consistent implementation of these values and standards.

Our products can be provided in FSC-compliant form and meet the requirements of the European Timber Regulation (EUTR). In addition, our processes are regularly audited and certified according to current labels.
For large surfaces such as ceilings and walls, maintaining a uniform appearance can be essential. From the almost endless selection of wood species and cutting methods, we work with you to choose the real wood veneer that best matches your desired aesthetic. In the Matching Types section, you can find an overview of the different grading options.
In our veneer mill, we offer customers the opportunity to be involved in the creation process of the veneer from the very beginning—starting with the selection of the log and the pre-sorting of the veneer sheets. This results in customized real wood surfaces, perfectly tailored to each project in terms of matching type, appearance, and color tone.
Each real wood veneer has its own unique grain, appearance, and color. The veneer guide leads you through the wide range of possibilities offered by real wood veneers and serves as a reference to help identify the solutions that are best suited to your project’s scale and aesthetic requirements.
The Topakustik veneer configurator brings the effect of veneers in a space to life and showcases the characteristics of different cutting and matching methods. Because only the right matching gives a room its distinctive visual identity.
Depending on the type of natural wood, cutting method, and veneer type, countless variations are possible when grading the different veneer sheets. Only through the matching method does the veneer reveal its character, giving the panel its individual expression and the space its distinctive visual identity.
From the carefully harvested tree to the finished acoustic panel, veneers are created through a precise interplay of craftsmanship, technology, and material expertise. Processes and production steps are visualized and explained step by step.
