PLYWOOD

Birch Plywood comes from the surrounding areas of the Baltic Sea in Europe. It is a stable, flat, superior wood, with the perfect density and composition for flooring. Our plywood is composed of a solid core veneer with both interior or exterior glue available. We can accommodate many grades, thicknesses and sizes. Please contact us with your inquiries – all grades, dimensions, and thicknesses welcome; we’ll find the right fit for you.

  • Common Thicknesses: 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, and 18mm.
  • Sizes – 5’x5’, 4’x8’, 5’x8’, etc.

In addition to the Standard Boards and Dimensional Lumber, we also carry Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), Industrial Plywood, Formply, and Scaffolding Planks (OSHA Recognized).

Lauan Plywood

Is available in a variety of wood species, such as Meranti, Melapi, and Virola. It primary use is for construction applications such as underlayment and cabinetry.

Finland Birch Plywood

Is a multiple veneer plywood with superior strength to weight ratio. Primary uses include cabinetry, steel-rule die boards, marine, and any other application calling for a very strong and flat sub-straight.

Copper Beech Plywood

Often referred to as Multiplex, is a very dense and stable wood product, designed specifically for applications requiring optimal strength and dimensional stability. Since it can be easily machined, it is commonly used for tooling fixtures and die-boards.

Birch Die Board Plywood

Is a very dense and durable material with unique stability properties. Since it is manufactured with non-flammable adhesives, it can be laser cut and, therefore, very suitable for steel-rule die applications. 

OBO-Presswood (Festholz)

Is comprised of Beech wood veneers that are phenolic impregnated and fused together under extreme heat and pressure. The finished product is actually considered a thermoplastic with density and stability properties unlike no other wood-based product. It is very resistant to corrosive substances and also has a low coefficient of friction. Applications include hydro-forming, checking fixtures, furniture components, material handling pallets, and industrial flooring
