Spanish term
chapa/chapas
Spanish to English
Tech/Engineering
Furniture / Household Appliances
This is more about furniture. I am confused as to whether chapa is "veneer" or "panneling" or both or something else even.
Here are two separate examples.
"Empresa fundada en 1946 especializada en dormitorios, comedores y modulares empleando chapas y maderas naturales, combinando artesanía y tecnología para ofrecer la mas alta calidad"
Seems to have a totally different meaning here
Juego de chapas de ébano de macasar en combinación con acero inoxidable en patas, tiradores o como elemento decorativo...
Thanks for any help

veneer
Your text says chapa Y maderas naturales, so in my opinion it should be "veneer AND natural wood"
:)
According to Babylon:
• chapa (f)

According to Merriam Webster:
1 : a thin sheet of a material: as a : a layer of wood of superior value or excellent grain to be glued to an inferior wood b : any of the thin layers bonded together to form plywood
2 : a protective or ornamental facing (as of brick or stone)
3 : a superficial or deceptively attractive appearance, display, or effect : FACADE, GLOSS
