Veneer Vs. Solid Wood. Are you choosing the right material for your locker?

When designing a locker, Hollman wants to make sure you select the right material to enhance your locker room’s aesthetics, meet your functional needs, and remain durable throughout time. With over 45 years of manufacturing wood lockers, our experienced team will ensure you make the right decision for your locker room needs. 

Let’s start with understanding the differences between solid wood and veneer:

Solid Wood

  • Advantages
    • Solid wood is durable and easy to repair. These include scratches, dents & stains. However, the worse the damage, the more expensive it will be to repair, but it is still repairable.
    • Solid wood is the best material to create cabinet frames, furniture legs, and other dimensional features.
  • Disadvantages
    • When exposed to different temperatures and humidity, it will expand or contract and may split along the grain of the wood. Warping and twisting are also a result of changes to the environment.
    • Tree Size limitations can limit your selection. Trees do not grow large enough to produce a wide enough board. To compensate for the limitation, edge lamination must occur, which creates weak points in the material.

Veneer

  • Advantages
    • It’s environmentally friendly! We can produce 20 veneer panels with 1 log vs only 1 panel with solid wood. Having this ability with veneer allows an increased yield from each tree, conserving natural resources while maintaining the natural aesthetics.
    • Veneer creates new design possibilities. Veneer panels are thin and bonded to a substrate, allowing designs that are not possible with solid wood.
    • Stable Substrate. The technique on how veneer is bonded to medium-density fiberboard creates a stable substrate. The stability produces surfaces that are not prone to warp, split, or seasonal movement.
  • Disadvantages
    • It’s thin. It is easy to sand through a veneer layer during fabrication, making it challenging to repair.  However, at Hollman, our skilled craftsmanship uses innovative technology, allowing for durable bonding to its substrate.

Titanium Wood Veneer

Hollman’s new pre-finished wood veneer collection is the perfect solution for a modern design. This new collection comes in trending wood stains; the pre-finished wood veneer also has the added benefit of having a titanium finish.

Titanium-finished wood veneer creates a more durable veneer locker for country clubs and or resorts. The titanium finish on the wood veneer locker provides added protection to the veneer, giving it a scratch-resistant surface. Also, the finish helps provide a dirt-resistant coat, helping your locker sustain over time.

Our wood veneer is FSC® certified to guarantee responsible forestry. These top-quality wood veneer lockers ensure a continuous wood look without significant visual interruptions and color consistency throughout your entire locker room. We have 3 pre-finished stains to choose from to help you create a stylish design and distinctive locker.

Project Insights: Quail Ridge Country Club Locker Room

Quail Ridge Country Club is the Center of Social Activity with Hollman Club and Resort Lockers

Quail Ridge Country Club Men’s Locker Room

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla., Dec. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Quail Ridge Country Club‘s brand new $23 Million clubhouse opened for business on Saturday, Dec. 9 to a sold-out crowd. The new 60,000 square-foot clubhouse and cart facility includes five dining rooms, an indoor and outdoor grille room, two outdoor dining patios, a lobby, a library, new men’s and ladies’ country club locker rooms and a larger golf shop. Construction of the new facility began in May of 2016 with the demolition of the old clubhouse which served the community for over 40 years.

“There was a lot of anticipation and excitement with the opening of our new clubhouse here at Quail Ridge Country Club. Peacock & Lewis did a magnificent job of designing the new clubhouse to meet the needs of our current and future membership,” said Quail Ridge Country Club President Gerry Leider. “The outdoor bar, porches, terraces, patios and fire pit conversation areas have become the talk of the community even well ahead of the opening.  I personally can’t wait to enjoy my first occasion with friends for a drink and a fine meal.”        

Quail Ridge Country Club Women’s Locker Room

Quail Ridge’s residents overwhelmingly supported building this “Old Florida” style clubhouse which features beautiful views of the golf courses, waterfall, tower clock and short-game practice area. 

“It’s an exciting time at Quail Ridge as we begin a new chapter in the history of our community. The brand-new clubhouse will serve as the center of social activity for the club, hosting events large and small, and offering a place for our members to gather and make memories with friends and neighbors,” said Bill Langley, Quail Ridge Country Club General Manager and Chief Operating Officer. “We couldn’t be more pleased with how everything turned out, and are proud of all the teams that came together to make this beautiful new clubhouse come to life. We look forward to the season ahead, and to helping our members experience the best year ever here at Quail Ridge.”

More than 100 of Quail Ridge’s residents have golfing handicaps in the single digits and the community is headquarters to the prestigious Society of Seniors golf organization. Two former members, Sam Snead and Claude Harmon, were Masters champions.
