Birch Baltic - Baltic Birch Plywood

MORE INFORMATION

Characteristics of Baltic Birch Plywood:

• Baltic Birch core is unlike traditional plywood you may be used to seeing. Its high-quality multiple plys (veneer layers) provide a panel that is able to handle heavy loads or high impacts. The plys are nearly void free (no missing knot holes) and perform well on cabinets and other demanding projects.
• Appearance: Valued for its appealing light color, Baltic birch plywood features a uniform grain, smooth texture and outstanding durability. Physical Properties: Baltic birch varies in thickness and contains an odd number of plies.
• Baltic Birch Plywood is constructed from high-quality, one-piece birch laminations for exceptional strength and screw holding power. The density of the plies  results in excellent stability, while the increased thickness of the face plies means far more resistance to sand-through. All-birch cores have little to no voids—sand the edges for a nice, finished look. Faces may contain some matched plugs, and one face is light and even in color for an attractive finished face.  All dimensions are nominal and may be slightly undersized.
• Thicknesses are metric and slightly undersized: 3mm-1/8″nominal, 6mm-1/4″nominal, 9mm-3/8″nominal, 12mm-1/2″nominal, 15mm-5/8″nominal, 18mm-3/4″nominal, 25mm-1″nominal
• Grade B/BB: Single piece face and back veneer. Face veneers are considered clear and free of defects with a light-uniform color. The back allows 3-6 color-matched patches, which are typically oval in shape and egg-sized. Inner cores are solid birch single piece veneers.
• Grade BB/BB: Single piece face and back. Both face and back veneers allow 3-6 small color-matched patches on average and some light mineral streaks. Tight pin knots may be present. Inner cores are solid single piece veneers.
