Poplar Plywood
Decorative & Constructional
Lightweight Panel
Plain & Neutral Faces
No Plugs or Open Defects
One-piece rotary cut Poplar faces
Poplar throughout core
Manufactured with "Robusta Poplar" species
that's denser than most European Poplar
Carefully constructed core results in few voids or overlaps
Internal veneers: 1.4mm Poplar
External veneers: 1mm (approx) Poplar, after face sanding and panel thickness calibration
Veneer layup has been specified to match European & Russian birch. This results in a strong and dimensionally stable panel.
The 1mm (approx) face veneers are similar thickness to birch plywood (they are not paper thin like some other "poplar faced" plywood)
Poplar is a clean timber making this panel suitable for painting, staining, shop-fitting, wall lining and other decorative applications.

- Carefully constructed core
- Approx. 1mm thick face veneers (like birch plywood)
