Furniture, linings and fit-outs
Poplar helps keep weight down; birch lets you make a feature of the layered edge. Compare them with okoumé, phenolic and veneered plywood.
Surfaces for painting and shaping
The uniform core is suited to routing details in cabinet doors and wall panels. The range also includes thin panels for backs and bottoms.
Furniture and packaging
Raw board for machining or facing, melamine-faced board with a decorative surface, or board faced with real wood veneer. Raw board is also used for packaging.
We also offer moisture-resistant and fire-retardant particleboards.
Bookcases, shelves and bespoke furniture
Veneered blockboard combines low weight with natural wood grain. Single-layer spruce gives you solid wood to work with, including its visible knots and grain.
Panels with a laminated surface
For doors, shelves and furniture in offices and shops. The laminated faces need no painting or varnishing; cutting, edges and machining are specified for each part.
Construction, crates and fit-outs
For timber-frame walls, subfloors and linings, with the strand pattern also suitable for leaving on show indoors. For load-bearing uses, the panel and thickness must meet the design requirements.
Veneered panels have a thin layer of real wood over a core. Compare plywood, MDF, blockboard and particleboard cores.
