Panels for joinery

Blockboard and solid-wood panels.
Wood for your next furniture project.

For bookcases, cabinet doors, shelves and tops. Compare veneered blockboard and single-layer spruce: two different constructions, with distinct faces and edges.

Wall bookcase with shelves, vertical sides and closed storage in a living room — Bookcase combining solid wood and veneered blockboard.

Veneered blockboard

For bookcases, sides and cabinet doors with the grain of your chosen wood. The spruce core keeps weight down, while the veneer helps coordinate the appearance of the different parts.

Edges to finish

Cutting exposes the panel’s core. Choose matching edging and a finish for the surface.

Blockboard species and sizes

Low open shelving unit in light spruce at the foot of a bed — Low cabinet made with edge-glued spruce panels.

Single-layer spruce

For open cabinets, shelves and tops with the light colour of spruce. The strips are already glued together, so you can cut your parts without first joining individual boards.

Solid wood at the edge, too

Our range has full-length strips and is sanded but unvarnished. The edge can remain visible and be finished along with the faces.

Spruce panel sizes and thicknesses

Plan the thickness
and assembly together.

For shelves and tops, the clear span, supports and expected load guide the choice of thickness.

Single-layer panels move as humidity changes, like all solid wood. Fixings and finishes need to allow for this.
