Multipurpose product of high quality for various applications where an excellent strength to weight ratio is needed.
Description
All birch veneer, structural grade plywood to which the section properties, grade stresses and moduli listed in BS 5268-2 apply; see also 'Handbook of Finnish plywood' (visit manufacturer's website for details).
Plies are bonded using a phenolic resin, cross-bonded, weather resistant glue to EN 314-2, Class 3 'Exterior'.
Shapes, profiles and drillings can be machined to specifier's drawings.
As wood is a living material, every panel is unique. Thus a photograph or a sample piece cannot represent all variations in colour, shade, graining, knots, etc.
