Applications
The wood is particularly hard and compact, making Birch Marine Plywood particularly suitable for all applications where both wear resistance and good mechanical performance are required together with robustness in a wet environment.
Even if the Birch plywood is not frequently used in boating industry (it is heavier than Okoume marine plywood), this material is appreciated for the realization of parts and outdoor furniture, as drawers, stairs and wardrobes, as well as for school, port and airport furnishings, etc. With its homogeneous and aesthetically pleasing layering, birch plywood is often used "exposed" without the need for edging. Applications include:
Furniture and interior design
Drawers, stairs, wardrobes and furniture in general.
Other
Open-air playgrounds, harbor and airport fittings, outdoor furniture.
