Wood that defies water.

Birch marine plywood is made from thin birch veneers, peeled from the log and bonded with their grain running crosswise. The layers are glued with WBP (Water Boil Proof) adhesive and then pressed under high temperature and pressure into the finished panel. The result is a material known for its water resistance and durability.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is "birch ply" the same as birch plywood?

Yes. Ply is the short name for plywood: thin birch veneers glued and pressed with the grain of each layer running crosswise.

What makes it marine plywood?

The layers are bonded with water-resistant WBP glue, so they hold together in humid and wet conditions. It is the glue that resists water; if the sheet will stay wet, seal the edges and faces with varnish, paint or laminate.

Do you cut plywood to size?

Yes, we cut it to the size you need. The cutting charge depends on the dimensions you give us.

Which thicknesses are available, and what are they used for?

We usually stock 6, 10, 12, 15 and 18 mm and supply other thicknesses on request. Plywood thickness can vary slightly from batch to batch, so if the exact thickness matters, ask before ordering. 4 and 6 mm sheets measure 1700×2200 mm; 8, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 and 30 mm sheets measure 1250×2500 mm. As a rule, thin sheets go into facing and light panel work, 12–18 mm into furniture carcasses and shelving, and 21 mm and up into load-bearing work. Tell us about your job and we will help you pick.

What does the price of birch plywood depend on?

Price depends on thickness, sheet size, grade, quantity and whether you need cutting. Prices change often, so we do not publish a price list; send us the thickness, size and quantity and we will reply with a current quote.

Do you manufacture the birch plywood?

No, we supply raw birch plywood. What we make ourselves are the laminate-faced plywood panels.
