The Different Grades of Birch Plywood

When it comes to the properties of Birch Plywood, it all boils down to quality and durability. Generally speaking, this type of plywood is manufactured to the European standard EN635-2 and is FSC certified. This means that it follows the principles of the Forest Stewardship Council, which aims to reduce its products' environmental impact through appropriate monitoring and assessment activities. If you're looking for a durable, environmentally friendly material, consider buying birch plywood.


BB/BB/CP

BB/BB/CP birch ply has many advantages. This grade is characterized by its fine textured face, superior durability, and ease of machining. Its face has no defects and is perfect for use in furniture applications. This grade is comprised of nine x 1220 x 2440 mm dimensions, and contains 1.4 mm peeled veneers that are bonded with phenol-formaldehyde resin glue.


CP veneer is very close to grade BB, but it is rejected by many manufacturers because it has too many small defects. It is allowed to have occasional hairline splits less than.5 mm in diameter, but can also have some patches. The patches can be oval or irregular in shape, and may not match the base face veneer in color. CP veneer contains more patches than BB grade.


The difference between these grades of birch plywood is considerable. BB/BB/CP birch plywood is usually priced four to six times higher than E Russian grade. The B/CP birch is typically smoother than the CP birch, and carries higher density. It is also used for interior and exterior applications. As a result, it is a more expensive product than its counterpart.


BB/BB/CP birch is a multi-ply product that is superior to domestic plywood. It is also incredibly stable and durable due to the fact that it has a single birch veneer on each sheet. This allows for sanding without removing the top layer of veneer. Generally, woodworkers cover the edges with edge banding or leave them bare.


BB/BB/CP birch flooring is durable and attractive. Its smooth surface and texture make it perfect for interior and exterior applications. You can also transform old furniture with this type of birch flooring and add a custom design. The versatility of Baltic birch plywood makes it a great choice for a variety of projects. For recreational uses, BB/BB/CP birch plywood is the ideal solution.
