Birch Plywood Options

We carry two options of Birch Plywood that we often get asked about and wish to illustrate the differences between the two:

Premium Birch Multiply

Made up of equal birch veneers, thick outside face veneers and Weather Boil Proof (WBP) Exterior glue.

Great for making furniture and high-end products with the multiply edge and the thick outside veneer allows sufficient depth for sanding if required and minimal core gaps.

BB/CC Birch Faced Hardwood Plywood

Made up of thinner outside Birch face veneers and a Eucalyptus hardwood core, this option allows for core gaps and core overlaps and has a semi-exterior glue bond in comparison to the WBP on the multiply.

Suitable for DIY projects and cost effective compared to the premium option.

What Happens to Plywood Outside?

Many people ask us if they can use plywood outside for walls and other applications.

It’s okay to use given it has an A-Bond Marine glue line, however it is subject to weathering as per the below photo.

So, if you would like to maintain the appearance, smooth plywood isn’t the best option when fully exposed, even when painted as per the below image on the left.

The face veneer can craze even if painted as the sun changes the moisture level in the top veneer leading it to expand and contract creating the lines you can see below.

If you want to use plywood outside and it maintain it’s appearance, we recommend the Shadowclad which is rough sawn (helps to prevent crazing) as well as it being treated.

With formply, which already comes with painted edges, if you are to cut the sheets as per the below photo on the right, we highly recommend that the edge is repainted as moisture

Which Ply Options Are Greenstar Certified?

Firstly, Greenstar is a sustainability rating & certification system. It recognises the use of legally sourced timber that are certified by a forest certification scheme such as FSC or PEFC via Green Star Timber Credits.

Second, the plywood options that meet this criterion include:

  1. Carter Holt Harvey (CHH) ECOPly, certified in accordance with FSC
  2. Austral Plywoods, certified in accordance with PEFC

The video below showcases the growing resource to be used later in the production of Austral Hoop Pine Plywood:

Ply for Laser Cutting

AC Hoop Pine Plywood - Austral premium plywood

Yes, we do sell plywood suitable for laser cutting.

The 3mm & 4mm Austral Hoop Pine with C-Bond interior glue is the product offered.

The glue won’t flare up on the laser nor leave a charred edge.

We recommend the 4mm for added rigidity in comparison to the 3mm.
