Plywood



Plywood is a wooden panel composed of thin cross-bonded veneers glued together. For greater strength properties the veneers are laid crosswise, i.e. the grain directions of two consecutive layers form a 90º angle.

Plywood panels are composed of at least three veneers with 1.4 – 3.2 mm thickness. All the veneers in WISA birch plywood are made of birch. Birch plywood is used where special strength and/or a hard and smooth surface is required. All the veneers in WISA spruce plywood are made of spruce. Spruce plywood is light weight and cost effective that is widely used for construction.

Coatings, CNC-machining and cutting-to-size convert the panels into ready-to-install products. Coatings improve the plywood's resistance to wear, impact, chemicals and weather. Films and laminates imprinted with various patterns improve the panel's frictional properties.
