The superior fit, finish, strength and flatness of Birch make it the choice for high end projects only. This 18mm 2440 x 1220 Birch throughout plywood has a Matt White Melamine on both faces of the board. The ability for specifiers to view the beautiful multi-lamination make up of the board is the main attraction here, coupled with the fact that the board is pre-finished it makes for the ideal material for high end carpentry applications in Bedrooms, Kitchens and even Bathrooms because Birch of course carried many moisture resistant properties (edges must of course be sealed in any moisture environment). Please note the picture here shows the edge detail with a protective white wood preserver treatment over it, and this can easily sand off to reveal the birch laminations.
