Shinnoki Terra Sapele is a prefinished wood veneered panel within Decospan’s Shinnoki collection. The panels are constructed with two layers of wood veneer and an MDF core measuring 18 mm (11/16”) in thickness. The surface is designed as a ready-to-use finish that does not require additional treatment after production. The panels are available in a Terra Sapele look that is part of the collection’s curated range of wood finishes.
The Shinnoki system uses a mixmatch veneer technique, where selected wood cuts from different trees are combined to create a consistent surface appearance while retaining natural variation. Each panel is brushed, stained, and finished with a soft-touch lacquer, producing a prefinished surface suitable for interior applications. The collection is designed for use in furniture, wall panels, and interior fit-outs across residential and commercial environments, including kitchens, offices, retail, and hospitality spaces.
