A new oak faced bar counter using Flexiveneer

We rarely get to see shopfittings done with our bending plys and flexible veneers but in the case of a new bar being built in Green Point near Cape Town the shopfitters supplied some really fine pictures.



The twin ply flexible veneer has been applied using contact adhesive made by Genkem, we advised one application as a primer and a second application as the bonding surface.



The corner was laid up first, then the flat sides applied later.


They used our american white oak twin ply flexiveneer, over 8mm Superform bending plywood, we suggested the best way to apply the glues.

Hi Roy


Attached are some pics of the veneer you supplied us.

The application method u suggested worked first time and very well ! We used a roller, used in the printing industry, and rolled it on. We used Genkem glue and made sure we used 1litre tins as we applied each coat so as to keep the glue fresh and easier to apply.

First, of course we applied bend ply to the bar wall – x2 layers of 8mm and then the veneer.

Hope this is of some help to new users.


The counters standard of finish is just tops.



Proof once more that top quality materials and shop fitters are to be found in Cape Town, South Africa.
