Description
Shinnoki Premium Sahara Oak 19mm is a prefinished real wood veneered MDF panel from the Raw Earth collection. It brings a light oak tone with a warmer undertone. This is a real wood veneer surface, not a printed wood effect finish.
The panel is supplied with all finishing already completed. Brushing, staining and lacquering are carried out at factory level, so there is no need for additional work after installation. This removes a full finishing stage and helps reduce time on site compared to standard veneered MDF.
It is manufactured in Belgium by Decospan as part of the Shinnoki Premium range. The surface is finished with six layers of UV-cured acrylate urethane lacquer, giving a soft-touch matt finish with low-sheen. It is designed for everyday use, helping resist light marks from handling and common spills.
The veneer is produced using Decospan’s mixmatch technique, helping create a more even surface while maintaining the natural character of real wood. Veneers from different logs are selected and combined to balance colour and grain. This helps reduce visible differences between panels when used across larger surfaces, making it easier to achieve a consistent finish across full installations.
As a Premium panel, it has Shinnoki quality veneer on the front face, with a matching Shinnoki look and feel on the reverse and slightly more natural variation. Supplied in A/B grade, meaning the front face is cleaner and more consistent, while the reverse may show a more varied grain pattern.
Sahara Oak does not read as flat. The grain is gentle, but still visible enough to break up the surface slightly. It gives a more natural look. The crown cut veneer creates a wider, more open grain pattern with a softer, more natural flow.
Matching accessories are available to support a consistent finish across full installations. These include colour-matched correction pens, varnish touch-up pens, and matching real wood (24mm x 0.6mm) and ABS (24mm x 1mm) edging tape, all supplied unglued, in all decors. Together, the board, edging and repair pens create a complete finishing system for larger joinery schemes.
