What is Baltic birch plywood?
Baltic birch plywood is composed exclusively of thin sheets of birch wood compressed and
bonded together, known as "birch veneer". Each layer of birch veneer is the same thickness, resulting in a consistent, stable and aesthetically pleasing sheet of plywood. The edges of Baltic birch plywood have an attractive stacked pattern, achieved by alternating the orientation of each inner ply. This makes it a popular material to use when an exposed plywood edge is desired. The front and back veneers are typically thicker than the top-level veneers used on other types of plywood, making Baltic birch plywood more durable and less prone to getting chipped or damaged when sanding. Once bonded, the entire sheet is laminated in exterior grade adhesive, further increasing its strength and
stability.
