We stock solid birch plywood with a choice of seven different thicknesses. Birch Ply production is centered around the Northern Baltic. The Birch tree grows slowly in this region producing a denser wood which is most suited to plywood production.
At Southern Timber we always try to source Birch Ply production from this region. Other producrs are primarily Russia and China. No imports are coming from Russia at present . The alternatives to Birch are not great, they tend to position softwood faced veneers on the inside with Birch ply on the outside. Birch tree forests have largely been covered with birch trees for many years. Most of the production companies are PEFC or FSC certified.
Birch plywood comprises thin veneers of birch cross-banded and with face veneers that can be both long grain and cross grain. The construction leads to an attractive edge on the ply which contrasts with the very pale but consistent ply face.
This is a quality ply, it is durable and easily worked material that is available in a variety of sizes and grades. Birch Plywood has a wide variety of applications including interior and exterior use in building and construction, transport, packaging, furniture, joinery and many others.
The quality of Birch Plywood is determined according to its face veneer grades.
