Plywood Interior Beech

Order beech plywood boards online

Plywood boards can be used for countless different projects. Interior Beech Plywood is very strong and is the only wood species that has no content, which means that there is no smell or taste coming from the board. For this reason, Interior Beech plywood is widely used in the food industry. You see it there in, for example, shelves where cheese is laid down to ripen. You can use it yourself, for example, when decorating a pantry. It is also often used in wooden toys and furniture. Interior Beech Plywood has an interior glue, so it is suitable for use in dry areas indoors. Beech is relatively heavy, so if weight plays a role in your project, it is useful to take this into account.

Beech plywood: what is it?

Plywood consists of different layers of wood veneer. These layers are glued crosswise to each other, which makes the panel very strong and hardly works. These are also the advantages of plywood compared to solid wood, and therefore it is often used in constructions. Because of the layers, the ends of plywood are beautiful to see and are often kept in sight. Plywood is made from solid wood, it therefore has properties that solid wood can also have. Long boards can therefore have a slight curvature and there may be colour differences between individual boards. Our plywood panels are suitable for horizontal applications, such as table tops and window sills. Always mount plywood panels to a base construction to prevent warping.

The direction of the wood grain

With plywood, a wood grain is visible. The drawing of the wood grain always runs lengthwise. When sawing the panel, we keep in mind that the length measurement is also the length direction of the wood grain. So pay attention when filling in the dimensions, so that the wood grain runs in the right direction!

Plywood quality B/BB

The quality of plywood surface layers is indicated by letter combinations and refers to the visual assessment of plywood wood. There is a letter designation for the visible side (top) and one for the reverse side (bottom). It refers to the quality of the deck veneer, the quality of the gluing, for example, is indicated differently. Read more about all visible qualities here. 

This board material has visible side B/BB. The top side has visual quality B, the underside visual quality BB. A plywood panel with face quality B/BB usually has an acceptable visual quality, but does show some imperfections. On the front (the "B" side), colour variations, small knots, repairs and other irregularities may occur, albeit to a limited extent. The reverse side (the "BB" side) may contain more imperfections, such as large knots, repairs and colour variations.

Because of its slightly lower visual quality, plywood with the visibility grade B/BB is often used in applications where aesthetics are not the highest priority. It is used for structural purposes, internal cladding, furniture construction and other applications where the visible surface is less important.

It is important to note that visibility grades can vary depending on local standards and specifications. When purchasing plywood, it is advisable to consult the specific ratings and standards of the manufacturer or supplier to ensure that the wood meets the requirements for the intended application.

In general, plywood with sight grade B/BB offers reasonable visual quality for applications where aesthetics are not a top priority. It combines functional properties with an acceptable surface that meets the basic requirements for many construction and timber projects.

Available thicknesses of multiplex beech

You can order plywood in different thicknesses. You can easily specify your desired thickness during the ordering process. In this way, you can be sure that the sheet material meets your requirements: both the format and the thickness of the material. The following thicknesses are available: 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm and 40 mm.

Machining of plywood beech boards

Plywood is an easy board material to work with, if you have sharp tools. For drilling holes, we recommend a wood drill with a centre point. Pre-drilling is also recommended for this panel material. This board material can discolour over time, so finish it with a (clear) varnish, stain or paint. Use an edge sealer to finish the edges of plywood, this prevents the varnish or stain from penetrating the board material, which may lead to the veneer layers coming loose.

Specific applications plywood beech

Beech plywood is very suitable for projects such as floor slabs, carpentry, moulds, but also for decorative applications such as table tops, countertops, furniture and toys.
