6 Reasons Why Customers Choose The Panel Hub® Over The Wood Veneer Hub
100% Real Wood Veneer
TPH® panels use 100% real wood veneer for natural warmth, texture, and one-of-a-kind grain, finished with the TPH-exclusive 3-sided smooth edge for a furniture-grade look in any USA home or project. Engineered for performance and speed, TPH panels install DIY in under 2 hours and are backed by FSC®-certified sourcing, EPDs, and a Class A fire rating.
What competitors use:
Uses engineered veneer that often needs oiling. The Premium Oiled option is decorative only and does not protect against water, humidity, heat, or UV. They also note batch-to-batch color variation and ask you to call before mixing sizes.
3-Sided Finish for a Seamless Look
All three visible sides are fully finished, so walls, ceilings, and corners look built-in from any angle.
- No edge trims or cover strips needed. Faster installs and lower labor.
- Continuous, unified lines at open ends, shelves, and column wraps.
- Designer-grade result wherever edges are exposed
What competitors use:
Panel by The Wood Veneer Hub uses face-only veneer. Side edges are not finished, so exposed ends typically need trims or onsite finishing, especially at corners, ceilings, and open runs.
Smooth Edge Finish + AcoustiCore™
SoundPanel® has smooth, rounded edges for a softer, furniture-grade look. The gentle curve feels intentional, helps prevent bumps or snags, and keeps open ends and corners neat. Its AcoustiCore™ backing is high-density acoustic felt (9 mm, 1900 gsm, 0.85 NRC) that absorbs up to 85% of mid and high-frequency noise, can reduce sound bleed by up to 30 dB, and adds light thermal insulation to help keep rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
What competitors use:
The Wood Veneer Hub makes you decode lab graphs and install notes, no clear NRC for the panel itself and no usable dB numbers. “Class A” only if you add Rockwool behind the panels. Too technical, easy to misread, and likely to disappoint in real rooms.
Water-Resistant CoreShield™
Every panel receives a UV-resistant clear coat that locks in color and resists sun fade for years (up to 90% less fading), plus a water-resistant CoreShield™ core made from high-density MR-MDF to handle moisture and humidity. Result: rich wood tone in bright rooms, warp-free performance in baths, kitchens, and basements, with less maintenance and fewer replacements.
What competitors use:
The Wood Veneer Hub has no UV or water-resistance specifications; its Premium Oiled finish is defined as just decorative and not resistant to water, humidity, heat, or UV. There is no mention of an MR-MDF moisture-resistant core, and consumers are advised to be aware of batch color variation and mixing sizes.
Free Installation for Orders Over $2,000
Free, fast shipping across the continental US, plus Free Professional Installation on orders over $2,000. Skip DIY hassles and third-party fees, saving money and hours. Pro crews use digital laser levels and proprietary layout guides for straight lines, tight seams, and consistent spacing. From wall-to-ceiling runs to wraparound corners, the finish looks smooth, seamless, and photo-ready.
What competitors use:
The Wood Veneer Hub offers free US shipping but no fast-ship promise and no free installation, even on large orders. You get brief guides and videos only. That means extra install costs, higher risk of mistakes, possible delays, and rework. Total project time and budget can swell, and results depend on your installer.
Backed by 5-Year Warranty
We back every panel with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty, covering issues like warping, delamination, finish inconsistencies, and structural problems. Our warranty focuses on what truly matters, and if you need help, you’ll get fast, direct access to our in-house team, no third-party claims or call centers.
We also offer a 60-day return policy worldwide, reflecting our confidence in our products and our commitment to a hassle-free shopping experience.
What competitors use:
The Wood Veneer Hub lacks a clear warranty page, and their return policy is only 30 days, which may be not ideal for US customers. They also impose a 25% restocking fee for returns after 30 days, particularly if the items are excess or due to client changes.
