Touchwood is made from PEFC certified timber veneer on PEFC certified moisture resistant MDF. The timber is sustainably grown, harvested and processed to meet the highest standards in quality and environmental practice. Because veneer panels use less solid timber than traditional lining boards, it is also a more resource efficient way to achieve the same look.
