Birch Plywood Details

Birchwood is pale hardwood with a cream colour. Our birch plywood takes real, grade BB birch wood veneers, which are glued in a cross-grain construction of layers to create a tough piece of birch plywood that has the aesthetic of birch, with the traditional properties of plywood.

Birchwood is associated with being a fundamental material in the construction of furniture like tables and chairs, however, birch plywood proves to be a brilliant material as an adaptable sheet with uses in a multitude of applications such as signages or in construction.

As a hardwood, birch is ideal for staining and lacquering especially when used in furniture manufacturing and construction.

All of our plywood can be cut, allowing for various designs and finishes. The thinner sheets of birch plywood are easy to work with and can be cut, routed and assembled easily as they're light and easy to manoeuvre.

Alternatively, our larger birch ply sheets, such as our 18mm plywood provide fantastic load-bearing properties giving stability and strength to any heavily weighted project. We provide all plywood sheets in a wide variety of thicknesses that can be cut to any shape or size to suit your needs. Check out our plywood shelf boards available in 12mm and 18mm thicknesses. 

If you are unsure about what specific thickness you will need, get in contact and we can be sure to assist you.

Advantages

Versatile

Our birch plywood takes real birch wood veneers that are glued in layers to create a tough piece of birch plywood that has the aesthetic of birch, with the traditional properties of plywood.

Malleable

Our high-quality plywood sheets are made of real birch veneer, so they take well to most adhesives and paints. This makes it an ideal solution for those looking to utilise the strong, structural stability of real birch whilst being a cheaper inexpensive alternative.

Inexpensive

Compared to a solid birch sheet of the same size, our birch plywood sheets provide an inexpensive solution for those looking to achieve the same desired aesthetic and natural applications.

Customisable

Our birch plywood sheet materials take well to being CNC machined and cut, meaning that we can customise your sheet to fit any spaces that you require.
