Ash Plywood
Ash Throughout Plywood:
Used for applications where a very strong
decorative plywood is required, ash throughout plywood is a high-quality plywood
that has been regularly used for toy & model making, interior decoration &
for various sports applications.
This product is generally produced using uniform 2.5mm thickness rotary peeled ash veneers throughout.
Ash Faced Plywood:
This is a general description 'ash combi plywood' - every alternate veneer is a different specie to ash - and 'ash twin plywood' - the faces are ash, while the core is 100% other wood.
Generally, ash faced plywoods are manufactured using cores based on beech plywood, poplar plywood, silver fir plywood, and it can also be mixed with a core of oak plywood, etc. Some of these species offer the ability to achieve a panel that is lighter in weight, without affecting the technical characteristics that ash throughout plywood offers, or to alter the panel to achieve a particular aspect that you may find applies to your particular need.
Production of ash plywood to order:
Ash plywood can be manufactured specifically to your requirements, for instance if you require a plywood with unidirectional veneers - the grain of each veneer laid in the same direction - or you need to achieve a decorative edge with contrasting colors from a different wood, this can be supplied.
Core qualities:
All veneers used in ash throughout plywood are closed, i.e. without open defects. Ash combi plywood & ash twin plywood can be supplied as 'closed' or 'standard' cores (allowing some small knotholes and open defects in the core of the other woods).
