Construction

Riga Ply is made of 1.45 mm thick cross-bonded birch veneers. Face veneers are available in long and cross grain. For customer specific requirements, specially designed oriented veneer constructions can be used to improve the bending strength and stiffness properties.

Grades

Riga Ply is sanded on both faces, forming a smooth and durable surface, which is suitable for a variety of finishes.

S (II) for good quality staining and lacquering.
BB (III) for finishing and coating with transparent and nontransparent thicker overlays and films, veneering and applications where a solid face is required.
WGE plywood of WG grade without open defects (repaired with filler), for coating with non-transparent finishing material.
WG (IV) for use where surface appearance is not important, reverse grade.

Surface appearance classification fulfills the requirements of EN 635.
