Birch Throughout Plywood is made from birch veneers of the same thickness, glued and laid up in alternating directions to the required thickness. It thus provides a superbly consistent strong panel with known engineering characteristics. At the same time the aesthetically pleasing, fine tight grain of the BB face is suitable for all types of surface finish ( or none ) as required. Please be advised that some suppliers offer a Birch-faced product made up of alternating veneers of other species – sometimes known as twin ply – this will not have the same consistent strength/engineering characteristics, stability or longevity of our Birch throughout product.
Key Features
Technical Information
Application
The ability to calculate the engineering performance of Birch throughout plywood renders it suitable for various uses. It is used in the high-end packaging industry for boxing scientific and musical instruments. In the engineering sector, it is used for pattern making.
Grading Information
This product is graded BB/BB which is most commonly used in applications where aesthetics aren’t a priority. A BB face may have small knots and imperfections that may require slight repairs. It should also be noted that, due to the wood’s natural properties, slight colour variations may occur.
